Partial fixed asset transfers

Hi Experts,
In partial fixed asset transfers, why do we need to indicate whether it is a prior-year acquisition or current year acquisition? Why cannot the system pick this information?
Really appreciate your insight in this regard.
Thanks in advance,
Em Jay

Hi Alex,
Thanks for your reply. But I need more clarification, here the assets need to have new cost centers updated in their master data.
Will ABUMN help in this case? I mean this is master data change in assets so how can we change it by transfer?
Thanks

Partial retirement in fixed assets

Hi,
we are having one strange fixed asset problem.. today we have processed all the fixed assets transactions from january to may
2000.. we did a partial retirement of an asset in dec 2001.. like we had 4 units of it and we retired 1 becaz it was stolen..
the transaction worked in december everywhere (like in fixed assets, general ledger)..now in 2002 this transaction is there
in fixed assets but not showing in General ledger so our fixed asset is not matching with general ledger.. so can someone
suggest that where we did the mistake??? any help will be highly appreciated..please let me know if i'm not clear enough
becaz i'm new to oracle finance...
Thanks.

Partial disposition of fixed assets

Hi
There is a fixed asset 450000008, in this asset, including many air conditioners,
but the user only want to disposit two of them, not all the air conditioners.
Would you tell me how to disposit a part of an asset ?
no sub assets number only main aassets number.
is it possible or not
Rgd

Actually I want to retire only particular transction not amt about amt I know but anyway you dont worry i think this is not possible pls can you tell me about this
Tcode :- ABAON > click on Partial retirement tab> in this tab two option under tab related to 1) Prior -yr acquis 2) From cur. yr. acq.
when I select Prior yr acq in partial payment i get below error .
"Error "
Retirement of old assets data not possible (No existing old assets data)
 Message no. AA 416
Diagnosis
 You have tried to post an retirement based on amount, using a
 transaction type which refers to old assets data (acquisitions from
 previous years).
 However, the sum of the APC at the start of the fiscal year and the
 transactions, related to the past, equals 0.
Procedure
 Check the transaction type entered and the asset.
 "Error end"
And when I select From cur yr acq then its O.K.
Its very helpful for me if you tell abt this .
Thanks a lot

Fixed Asset Issue

Dear SAP Gurus,
The problem is with regards to fixed assets accounting. PR was raised for a new vehicle using an old vehicle code. Subsequent postings therefore went into the old asset code itself. This asset was fully depreciated and when the new vehicle was posted on to this code, the new vehicle also got fully depreciated. We now have two vehicles under a single asset code with zero net book value. I want to transfer the new asset on to a new code and also adjust the depreciation so that I can depreciate it over its useful life.
Thanks and Regards,
Yasir Khan

Hi
You cannot post the manual JV while you are in AA. One option is by writting off the asset partially and then transferring it to new asset through ABZON. later you can do the posting of unplanned depreciation..

Fixed Asset conversion :Transaction AS100

Hi guys,
Have any one used AS100 for fixed asset conversion. Is this option better than LSMW. How the excel file is sorted to special format.
Thanks.
Saeed

Cons of using AS100: -This method is suited for transferring small datasets, such as a few hundred fixed assets. The system can process a maximum of 5000 rows.
SAP recomments to use Standard excel format.
Link of SAP help, which gives excel format, etc.http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2004/helpdata/EN/70/93a417ecf411d296400000e82debf7/frameset.htm

Fixed Asset: market value

Hi All!
Due to IAS we must post an special provision:
when the inmaterial fixed asset value market is minor than fixed asset net value we have to post a provision by depreciation (in order to reflect the possible loss when we sale it)
This provision does not affect the fixed asset countable net value. So that provision don't have post in 01 depreciation area. But:
1- when we sell the assets the provision must appear in the sale affecting to the benefit or loss.
2- I need to know the provision for each fixed assets. That's why we need SAP shows its in FI-AA area.
With the transactions under Manual Value Correction folder (fixed asset menu) the fixed asset net value is modified.
We've tried to implement a second area doesnt affect to fixed
asset values from the 01 depreciation area and vice verse to post there this provision. But The system doesnt allow that (message error number AC528)
Do have more ideas?
Thank You in advance

Hi Vijay, thank you for your answer but...
It seems that Transferred Reserves is used to sell a fixed asset and transfer the benefit to other asset (If I've undertood right)
I put an exemple to fix the question:
I adquiered a fixed asset by 1.000 euros (a building) in 2005
- Deprecation key: LIND (Str.-line) / Use Life: 10 years
In 2007 my building on second hand house market is valuated in 500 euros (minor than fixed asset countable net value 800 euros).
So I must post a provision by depreciation by 300 euros. That post does'nt affect to fixed asset countable net value (is just a provision). My fixed asset countable net value is 800 euros.
In 2010 I sold my asset by 1.000 euros. My fixed asset countable net value is 500 euros. So my profit is 500 euros. Then I must to reverse the provision post in 2007 .
I need to post that provision related to fixed asset but without affect to asset net value, to reverse that in the asset sale.
Thank You very much
Francesc

Question on fixed asset reports

Hello all,
I work in the real estate accounting department of a large retailer. At quarter/year end we are required to prepare a set of workpapers to support the fixed asset ledger and related P&L accounts. Currently, we are using the following reports:
To support asset account activity:
S_ALR_87011967 Asset balances by site
S_ALR_87012050 Asset acquisitions
S_ALR_87012052 Asset retirements
S_ALR_87012054 Intracompany asset transfers
To support P&L account activity:
FBL3N G/L account line items
The problem we are running into is that, for example, impairment losses are processed by retiring all the assets of the company and reacquiring them at the new fair market value. The net difference is the loss on impairment. Unfortunately, it shows up in our reports as a very large retirement followed by a very large acquisition. These need to be netted together on our schedules for the auditors. The problem right now is that we dont have a good detail report to find impairment retirements/acquisitions, for when we select list assets in the retirements or acquisitions report it gives a hierarchical style report, which is almost impossible to export and process in Excel.
So, my question is really twofold. Firstly, is it possible to turn off the hierarchical setting of a retirements or acquisition report when list assets is selected? Ideally, I'd like to see all the same data on a single row.
Secondly, my real dream report would be more of a standard general ledger with a beginning balance, activity, and ending balance for the period that I could use for all my balance sheet and P&L accounts. Ive tried using the FBL3N report for the balance sheet accounts and it works okay, but I havent been able to figure out how to get it to show the transaction types from the fixed asset ledger. I read something in another post that talked about using the BWASL field to show the transaction types, but I wasnt able to locate it in the available fields list. Do I need to do something special when I run the report?
Thank you so much!

Hi Andreas,
Thanks for getting back to me so quickly!
I thought a custom query would probably be best. I'll need to request access to the transaction before I can try it out, but I'm sure I'll have a bunch more questions to bug you with when I do!
Thanks again,
William

Automatic VAT code during fixed asset PO creation

Hi all,
We have a classic AUC acquisition process : through MM with IO allocation.
My question is = is it possible to automatically affect one VAT code relating to fixed asset acquisition during purchase order creation? (and not VAT relating to goods and services acquisition, we have to distinguish both with french rules).
The person in charge of PO creation don't have to choice between VAT codes, this is the reason why VAT code has to be affected automatically.
Thanks in advance for your answer.
Best Regards

Hi Ocean,
if you use as91 you have to enter as followed:
***.acquis.val. 120.242,00 <- enter
***.down paymts
***.reval.of RV
***.invst.grant
Accm.ord.deprec 70.809,18 <- enter
***.Spec.dep.
***.unplnd.dep.
***.reserves
***.reval.O.dep
Net book value 49.432,82 <- calculated automatically
***. interest
Reval. posted
Ord.dep.posted 3.340,06 <- enter
Pstd.spec.dep.
Pstd.unpl.dep. 0,00
Res.posted
Of course SAP reverses the amount because it is entered as ord dep. posted (this means current fiscal year!!!) insted of accm. ord. depr. (depr. up to 31.12.2007)
The ***. depreciation up to 31.12.2007 has to be enterend in ACCM. ord. deprec.
The *** and posted depreciation from the current year has to entered in ORD.DEP.Posted, pls. have a look at my calculation.
How to correct the fields Ord.-dep. posted and Accm ord. dep? This depends on many parameters:
Have you carried out the datantransfer already in the P-System????
Any other postings for SAP AM already carried out
How many assets have to be changed.
You can reset the Companycode in AM (only recommendable if deprun is not posted and no other postings - retirements, aquisitions transfers have been entered). Then start a new upload
Even lsmw and a BI-recording as92 with the last screen could be a solution.
At least if you have only a few assets - correct them manually - it's not worth the effort to create a BIR and a LSMW - the user is faster.
Best regards
 Horst

Transfer of a fixed asset to a WBS

Hello Everybody ,
I need your help.
A new scenario has come over here and i am not getting how to implement it in
SAP .
Scenario is :
1. We have a fixed asset at cost center .
2. Now the asset is need to be replaced .
3. We settled new asset at that cost center .
4. Old asset needs to be used in a project.
Problem is :
Client is required that old asset that was replaced, should be transferred to a new project or WBS where the asset final cost
(including depreciation) should consume the budget from the WBS .
Example:
Asset cost along with depreciation is say Rs 50000.
We transferred an Asset to a new WBS where budget is defined 80000.
So as asset gets transferred , remaining WBS budget value should be 80000 - 50000 = 30000 means old asset value should get expensed by WBS .
Then later on we can settle the asset along with the AUC of WBS.
Conclusion:
We need to transfer an fixed asset that is not in anymore used in that defined cost center and need to be replaced and after replacement it should get transferred to a WBS where WBS budget value would be reduced equal to asset value along with depreciation and later on we could transfer it to a cost center where asset is required.
Thanks,
Jagjeet Sandhu

Hi Sunil.
Thanks for your valuable response .
But issue is bit different
Scenario is :
We dont have to make asset as an scrap.
Ex:
We have to take the same asset to another WBS without making scrap and the current asset value should be expensed from the defined WBS budget .
How the asset at cost centre would be transferred to WBS and should be capitalised again at new WBS .
Kindly share the procedure .
Thanks & Regards

G/L Movement Types for Fixed Assets

Dear All,
for the key figures displayed in report "Schedule of Fixed Assets" I need the corresponding G/L Movement Types. I found it for the posting types in attached screenshot already, but for the following key figures I would it need urgently for my customer:
- HIST_COSTS_START_OF
- TRANSFERS
- WRITE_UPS
- ACCUMULATED_DEPR
- VALUE_ADJUSTMENTS
- NETBOOKVALUE_END_OF
- NETBOOKVALUE_START_OF
The customer needs it for consolidation preparation
Thanks a lot and best regards!
Katrin Gruber

Hallo Katrin,
There is no easy way of matching the G/L movement types from your attachment to the key figures in the schedule of fixed assets.
The report Fixed Asset line items displays all fixed asset relevant postings for the selected criteria. I displayed in the report the G/L movement types (as displayed in the journal entry) and in addition the business transaction type.
In report "Schedule of Fixed Assets" you have a mixture of movement types
Total of Depreciation, which compares to G/L movement type 450
Acquisition Costs, which is is the sum of G/L movement type 400 (Business Transaction Type 647 + 643) and 400 (BTT: 641, but not 642)
In addition here balances are displayed, which do not relate to journal entries with movement types (e.g. Net Book Value at End of 004.2015).
Seeing this please understand, that mapping from key figures to movement types is not possible.
You have two options:
use data extraction for consolidation with movement types or
maybe extracting the data from the report with OData depending on your needs.
Best regards
Marlene
PS: I will provide a blog in the next days/weeks for the topic of consolidation.

Standard reports in Fixed Assets

Hi all,
Is there any standard report in SAP that gives the information on additions made to the asset. I looked into the report S_ALR_87011990(asset history report), it has all the information I need except for additions made and corresponding depreciation for that addition. Could anyone tell me if there is any or how do I go about this problem. Please tell me if custom report is a must in this case, also the tables where I can find this information.
Thanks in advance
Kumar

Changing Fixed Assets useful life according IAS rules

Hi all,
According to the new IAS rules (International Accounting Standards) when an asset's useful life (currently with straight line depreciation) is changed we have to distribute the "net book value" (remaining depreciation to be posted) between all the remaining months in the same proportion.
Currently, SAP standard calculates the depreciation as the difference between the posted depreciation throughout the previous months and the amount that should have been depreciated with the new useful life, and it assigns this calculated amount in the current month when the useful life is changed.
We have checked that the remaining depreciation to be posted can be distributed equally over the remaining periods of the fiscal year by marking the "smoothing" flag through transaction OAYR per company code, but we need this amount to be distributed over all the remaining periods for the new useful life (not only over the current fiscal year).
Please find below an example to try to clarify my query:
A fixed asset with str.line depreciation has the following values:
Acquisition value: 12000 eur
Useful life: 3 years
Depreciation per year: 4000 eur.
The asset starts to depreciate on 01.01.2008 and its useful life is
changed to 2 years on 01.07.2008. On that moment the net book value is
10000 eur.
SAP adjusts the difference between the amount that should have been
depreciated with the new useful life (3.000 eur) and the real amount
posted (2.000 eur) = 1.000 eur depending on the "smoothing" flag:
1. If the flag is not marked: SAP assigns 1.500 eur (500 eur (6.000/12)
+ 1.000 eur from the difference) on 01.07.2008
2. If the flag is marked: SAP distributes the difference between the
remaining periods of the current year (from July to December) and it
assigns 666,66 eur per month (500 eur + 166,66, obtained from 1.000
eur/6 months).
But we need the same depreciation amount distributed over the remaining
months: 10.000 eur/18 months = 555,55 eur/month.
Has anyone come through the same problem before?
The only solution I can think of is transferring the asset values to a new one. Or maybe a user exit.
Any feedback will be much appreciated.
Thank you very much in advance. Best regards

Hi Markus,
Sorry to come back to you regarding this question. Unfortunately we are not still on 6.0 so we can't take advantage of the new functionality.
I am now trying to make an asset transfer through transaction ABUMN but the new asset is taking into account the capitalisation value of the original asset rather than the net book value that we would need the system to consider to calculate the new depreciation values.
Do you know if there is a way to solve this?
Thanks a lot. Best regards

Deleting Fixed Assets

Hi,
I'm reciving an error during transaction AS06:
"Deleting is not possible. The asset already has values."
the solution in sap is:
"Delete the transferred values using the transaction for changing old assets."
I'm trying to delete those values using AS92, but everything looks locked. Where exactly and exactly how shall I remove this??
Thanks for any help.
Lukas

Hi,
you can use this FM to delete the fixed asset.
ASSET_MASTERRECORD_MAINTENANCE
while calling the FM you need to send the parameter
i_trtyp = 'L'. "deletion flag 
along with other parameters.
check that..

Massive assignation of attachments to fixed assets

Hi there,
I have this situation, we have loaded fixed assets in the R3 system, I loaded the data using LSMW, but we need the fixed assets to have a picture from the legacy system.
I know that trx AS02 allows you to attach a file to a fixed asset. I also tried to make this process automatic, the thing is when I'm recording the transaction to add the attachment the button in wich the attachment option is (Services for object), does not appear on dynpro. Can anyone can give me a clue... am I doing the right thing or there is another trx where I can relate and upload a file to a fixed asset.
Thanks in advance.
J. Valencia

Check for three things:
1) The distributiion account in Payables is a Asset clearing account
2) Track as an asset flag is updated to "Yes"
3) The Payables Invoice has been accounted and transferred to GL

Tracking Fixed Assets between receipt and invoice processing

We have encountered an issue while using Oracle Fixed Assets that we are trying to solve. The issue involves asset tracking from the time of receipt until the invoice is processed and the asset record created and posted.
As you're probably aware, assets don't appear in FA until the invoice has been accounted and transferred to GL. We can have assets that are received and deployed before we even get the invoice for processing.
We need the ability to record and track where the asset has been deployed(Employee Name and asset Location) and to later update the appropriate asset records after they are created and posted in Oracle.
Right now we are doing this manually which means someone is entering data twice for the same thing. Has anyone come up with a workaround to cover this gap between asset receipt and asset creation?
TIA
Ken

Hi,
I see this is a very old post but did you find a solution? I am keen to learn more about this.
