Parallel ledgers and currencies in Fixed Assets

Hi all,
I have a difficult scenario in Fixed asset related to parallel ledgers and parallel currencies. This is the one.
We have
Area 01-1- Loc Cur-L1
Area 06-0- Grp Cur (takes values from 01)
Area 30-3-Loc Cur-L2
Area 31-0-Grp Cur (takes values from 30)
Area 33-6- L1 This area is derived from 30-01
The issue here is that when I post for example a retirement. First with ABAVN values from area 01 are posted to every ledger. If I check the posted document and I have the values of area 01 in local currency column and the values in area 06 and in group currency column. But, when I run ASKBN to post area 33 which is the difference between 30 and 01, the local currency value is correct (30-01) but the group currency amount is not correct. This value in group currency is not 31-06, is the local value multiplied by the Exch Rate at the retirement date.
How to do to have the group currency in a derived area as the difference of the group áreas which are related to the original one (31-06 in my case)?
I hope my question is clear!!
Thanks a lot, Iu2019m complete lost.
Adela.

Dear Adela.
1 - Define Currencied for Leading Ledger Like: Group/Index what ever you want.
SPRO >> Financial Accounting (New) >> Financial Accounting Global Settings (New) >>> Ledger >> Define Currencies of Leading Ledger
2 - Maintain Group Currency in Non Leading Ledgers
SPRO >> SPRO >> Financial Accounting (New) >> Financial Accounting Global Settings (New) >>> Ledger Define and Activate Non-Leading Ledgers
3 - Assign Non Leading Ledger to your Dep Area
SPRO >> Asset Accounting >> Asset Accounting (Lean Implementation) >> Organizational Structures >> Depreciation Areas >> Define How Depreciation Areas Post to General Ledger

Parallel currency in fixed assets

Dear All,
We recently intoduced Index currency in a few of our new comp codes in view of its benefit to statutory reporting in countries where system assigned local currency is not the country currency eg. Ghana - USD.
Because there were other comp codes that dont have index curr assignment SAP is giving a customizing inconsistency error when the configuration for a new valuation area (depreciation area) was added to the chart of depreciation (OABT). Another option to create a new chart of depreciation (our comp uses 1 for all comp codes) was rejected on the basis that it will negatively impact reporting and that intercompany asset transfer will be impossible: here is the question -
- What is the effect of creating a new chart of depreciation if these reasons are not right?
- is there any other option we may have overlooked? and what are the config steps?
- another thought was to create an index curr assignment for all the comp codes? is this a good idea? if anyone has done this in the past, any implications
config exists for index curr in -
OY01
OBS2 - for 2nd & 3rd curr

Hi Shalu
The Library 0FL has 4 currencies... i.e.
HSL - Local Currency
TSL   - Transaction Curre
KSL - Second Currency
OSL - Third Currency
Go to GRR2 (Report form of your report), and double click on any column... You choose Key Figures in the Columns in a areport painter report... there you would have chosen any one of these currencies...
Right click on the column and Copy it and paste it... Now change the Key Figure of the copied column to the one you desire...
This should give you values in both currency...
To identify which form you have used in GRR2 - Execute your report and go to Extras Menu > Technical Information.. In the pop up window that opens, double click on field "Report".

Report on capitalised and additional to fixed assets

Hi all,
Is there a report in Asset Accounting that shows existing assets together with the additional acquisitions made on the existing assets? The report should show clearly these 2 different amounts.
I have gone through some reports but they all show the combined amounts...therefore, it is very difficult to break down these amounts into initial and subsequent acquisition amounts.
Thanks for your help,
Nas

hi
no standard report available as per your requirement you have to develop custom developed report

Use of different fiscal year variant in leading&non leading ledgers and Asset closing&Reporting

Experts,
Need one clarification on using different fiscal year variants for Leading(0L)&non Leading(NL) Ledgers and impact on Fixed Asset Accounting.If I use say V6(Jan2013-Dec2013) for Leading Ledger and April2013-March2014 for non leading Ledger,(local GAAP)-please clarify the following.
1.Does Asset Accounting gives all standard reports as expected in both(Leading&Locals) the Depreciation areas?Do we need to any settings specially for in the above scenario?(I am assuming point#4 given below may not help for this as system gives an error if both the fiscal year variants have different start&end dates)
2.How is Year end in Asset Accounting handled?If I close the year end in Asset Accounting for Company Code as per Leading Ledger i.e say by Dec 2013,can I still post the asset entries in non leading ledger?Because Financial year for Leading ledger will be 2014 and non leading will be still 2013(in Jan2014).
3.I am aware SAP has some restrictions way back in 2005-2007 (SAP note 844029) for different fiscal year variants in Leading&Non Leading Ledgers,Does SAP come out with any solution later?
4.What is the exact use of the settings at Asset Accounting>>Valuation>>>Fiscal year>>Fiscal year variants at company code level or Depreciation area level?My understanding here is,they are not meant for using different fiscal year variant with different start&end dates but they are meant for using different fiscal year variant with same START&END DATES and have different number of posting periods i.e 1 can have 12 and other can have 13.
Please can you give your comments?
regards

Hi Hinfi,
It seems standard SAP does not manage different fiscal year variants (at least with different start/end dates) in different depreciation areas.
However, they came up with an add-on solution called Multiple Calendar Tool and based on a mirroring solution that synchronizes asset transactions in a mirror company code.
It's all explained in following notes:
Note 1175751 - Project solution for alternative fiscal year variant
Note 1636025 - Asset acctg multi calendar tool 1.0_ SP Note
Note 1658489 - Installation of Asset acctg multi calendar 1.0 software
Note 1658714 - Asset acctg multi calendar tool_ Overview Note
Note 1691481 - Release strategy_ Asset acctg multi calendar tool
Note 1951069 - Different fiscal year variants in General Ledger Accounting (New) (NewGL) under the new Asset Accounting (FIN_AA_PARALLEL_VAL)
I don't know if it's commonly used and personnaly have no feedback on it. I was curious to check how to manage a depreciation area 01 posted in a leading ledger in US GAAP (FYV january to december) and another depreciation posted in a non leading ledger in Indian GAAP (FYV april to march).

Purchase Order and Fixed Asset Module.

Hi all,
I want to print my purchase order of fixed asset for record purposes. But the thing, I can't link purchase order or any of A/P documents to my fixed asset.
Meaning, if A/P invoice has been added into the system, it will not update my fixed asset master data.
Therefore, I have to use PO for printing, since there's no way to print Fixed Acquisition as a document. By doing this, i need to maintain both Item Master Data and Fixed Asset Master Data with Fixed Asset items, which i find tedious.
Is there a solution for this, like perhaps there's a way to copy info from PO to FA acquisition, or Posted A/P Invoice that contains Fixed Asset item will be linked to FA Acquisition, or perhaps there's a way to print FA Acquisition (like a PLD) that i am not aware of?
Please do help.
Thanks upfront!
Rgrds,
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
I am afraid to inform you that the print layout function is not
supported for Fixed asset transactions such as acquisition.
As you mentioned, if you want to use it as PO document, you will need to create PO in business one since no integration is realized between Purchasing in business one and acquisition in Fixed asset addon.
If you think this will have critical impact on your business process, please post your requirement in our SAP Business One Product Development Collaboration.

SAP fixed asset add-on. Not able to import master data using upload pgm.

Hi all,
I am trying to import fixed asset master data using an excel file into sap B1 2007a patch level 42. I am able to run the import transaction. It tries to process and then giving me a message ' Import end: Number of successfully imported assets: 0. Number of processed assets:2. We have looked at the event log file and couldn't find anything related to the upload. I have gone through other posts and didn't face this issue. Any hellp is apreciated.
Path which I am using to upload the fixed asset master master data: Administration --> Setup --> fixed asset --> import fixed asset master data.
Following points (see below) also taken into account while creating the master data sheet.
also replaced the ',' in the csv file to ';' before uploading and changed the fixed asset mode to 'transfer' in the administration --> system initialization > company detaills> basis initialization.
Thanks

Mandatory:     Item Code = Asset Class; this Asset Class must be previous defined in the Asset Settings (don't change/delete anything in the item-master data - there are the Asset Classes Z-00u2026. Are stored
     Description = Description of this Asset
     Capitalization Date = do it like this (YYYY-MM-DD). This columne must be a text format
     APC = Aquisition/Procuction Cost; when you have digits after coma please use dot for separation - don't use thousand separators; Example 23444.45
     Quantity = only mandatory, when you use the same assets stored under one asset number. Example you have ten equal chairs, so you can handle this with one asset number and quantity ten
     Dep01 = Depreciation area; this entry must be previous defined in the Asset Settings
     Depr Start date 01 = do it like this (YYYY-MM-DD). This columne must be a text format. The beginning must be the first of the month. Please compare it in this case with the capitalization date
     Useful Life 01 = calculated in months (not years)
     Remaining Life 01 = calculated in months (not years)
     Depr Type 01 = Depreciation Type must be previous defined in the Asset settings
     Ordinary Depr 01 = ordinary depreciation; this is the comulated value you can see in the asset history sheet from the old asset solution. When you have digits after coma please use dot for separation - don't use thousand separators; Example 23444.45
     Unplanned Depr 01 = unplanned/extraordinary depreciation; this is the comulated value you can see in the asset history sheet from the old asset solution. When you have digits after coma please use dot for separation - don't use thousand separators; Example 23444.45
     SpDpAcc1 01 = Special depreciation account; when you use special depreciations and you have it to balance on special accounts fill in this account. This is an exeption - in normal projects not needed
     SpDpKey2 01 = Special depreciation; when you use special depreciation you have to enter this cumulative value in this field. This is an exeption in normal projects not needed
     SpDpAccu2026 = for further special depreciation accounts; This is an exeption
     SpDpKey.. = for furhter special depreciation values; This is an exeption
Optional:     Vendor Code = when using this please be aware that the vendor code is previous defined in the system
     all others = you can use if you want. The only limitation is the type/length of these fields
     When you are ready with your entries mark from the first free row on for instance the next 20 rows than right mouse key - delete rows. This is necessary to prevent that in the background are invisible signs
     After entering in this default excel all your assets, please save it as .csv file. (the grey message - relation to information of csv - please say yes; when you close than excel a furhter message - would you save.. - please say no now
     After entering all data please save it as .CSV file. First grey window (format information) please choose 'yes'. Second window (when you close this file) please choose 'no'.
     You have now a .csv file in hands right now for uploading into the fixed assets.
     This example you can use for a test-import based on the year 2004

The issue was because of the conflict of Depr. Start Date, Use Life and Remaining Life. After I corrected the data, it worked just fine. The note 876670 helped me to resolve this issue. Thanks to Adam at Toronto SAP Business one support for his expert analysis and suggestions.
thanks

Fixed Assets Reporting

Hi All,
I have a customer who has many company databases and is running Fixed Assets.
They want to be able to print and file asset schedules after each depreciation run for each company.
The current version does not allow printing of the Asset History Sheet, and exporting to Excel adds a lot of extra work to get page breaks and company names on each report.
Has anyone developed a query for this report? I would like to solve their issue by use of a query and a print layout for them
Thanks

Is this a US customer running the SAP Fixed Assets add-on? I hope not becuase that add-on is not supported by SAP in the US

Fixed assets depreciation wherein local and system currency is differeent

Hi,
We just have a question regarding the Fixed Asset Depreciation if Local and System Currency is different.
Setup of Currency:
Local Currency = USD
System Currency = Peso
During monthly amortization the depreciation is in Local Currency (USD) converted amount at the time of acquisiton if other currency is used. The corresponding system amount which is in Peso will use the FOREX rate based on the posting date of the depreciation run.
What we want is to maintain a correct lapsing schedule of Fixed Assets in both PHP & USD, and both following the accounting standard. Therefore, to be in line w/ the standard, we have to use the historical rates.
Is it possible that when the depreciation was posted in system currency the historical or the acquisition rates will be used not the conversion rate when the depreciation was done?
Thanks,
Janice

Hi Janice,
I don't think that is possible to maintain system consistency. if you could assign FOREX arbitrarily, what is your accounting principle?
Thanks,
Gordon

Asset accounting with parallel ledgers.

Hi SAP gurus,
My client has a scenario where assets have different accounting principles, as example, buying an equipment is considered as investment in one perspective and as expense on another.
To do that we have created two depreciation areas (01 and 10), assigned to 0L - Leading Ledger and Z0 - Non-Leading Ledger. Both depreciation areas share the same GL accounts, as we can separate them by Ledgers.
All the assets acquisitions are made through PS projects, so we settle to AuC end than to Fixed Asset.
When we settle the AuC to Fixed Asset, both depreciation areas are getting APC values on both ledgers. How are we now able to "correct" this APC value just on the Leading-Ledger and transport to a cost account, so in that perspective this value is considered as expense?
Is there any way to do this?
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards.
Cristiano Monteiro

Thanks for your answer. I didn´t think about that possibility, and it´s a very good idea.
I will not use that, because I remember that I can make a manual posting via ABSO transaction with a transaction type that is limited to one depreciation area, and than with ASKB make the GL posting.
Now I´m getting a problem with this. I settle the WBS to fixed asset and the GL document is posted on both ledgers. On asset master data, the value of APC is shown also on both depreciation areas.
Now my problem is that if I run ASKB transaction it will try to post again the settlement document but only on non-leading ledger, which will duplicate the values.
How can I solve this?
Thanks in advance
Kind regards

How to get historical currency rate for second group currency transactions in Fixed Assets

Hello,
My client had MXN (Mexico Currency) as a legal currency and when the company code was implemented (went live) group currency was not implemented. After 3 years this company code implemented second local currency as USD and is now a USD functional Company. When Fixed assets movements such as depreciation, retirement etc are posted; the postings in local currency is fine but postings in group currency is not fine the reason is the exchange rate for group currency must be 'historical rate" but instead of that the entries are being posted in "current rate". To rectify this issue we need to set the exchange rate as the historical rate. Now my question is where/how can I get the historical rate (rate when asset was acquired/purchased). When the assets were acquired the amount was in MXN and there was no maintenance of USD exchange rate as there was no second local currency so then how can I get the historical exchange rate for USD. Most of the assets were acquired/purchased before 5-10 years then how can I find the USD exchange rate for those periods.
Thanks,
Rinki

It is necessary yo have a different rate type for average. The month-end rate type cannot be used.
The M-rate type is typically the month-end rate.

Nonleading ledgers and foreign currency valuation

HI all,
we are in ecc 6.0 and using new gl.
Do you need to carry our foreign currency valuation in no leading ledgers as well
if you have any .and this non leading ledger is used as there is a company code in foreign
country.???
any inputs are welcome please.
Thanks,
Sai.

What is the need for parallel ledger in the new GL concept?
There are up to 4currencies available within the Leading Ledger:
Transaction currency
Company code/local currency
Up to two parallel reporting currencies as assigned in FI
The strategy with regard to the technical mapping of parallel financial reporting (parallel ledgers in general ledger, account solution, company code solution) is that the your requirements determine whether parallel general ledgers or the account solution is more appropriate with only one leading general ledger. There could significant disadvantages caused by the high proportion of manual postings.
