Partial Retirement in ABAVN Transaction; Write-off quatity; ANLA-MENGE

Hi Experts,
I hv gonr thru one Z_Prog. & assuming like,
The Z-Prog. is pulling the data of ANLA-MENGE i.e. Quantity of a given Asset (Sub) Number(say, Asset_Sub_No_123). Say the quantity is 10 EA.
Then Z_Prog is doing Write-off of quantity of 4 EA.
Finally, doing ABAVN transaction,
So, am assuning like,
1) The Partial Retirement quantity in ABAVN transaction, is 4 EA!
2) The new/updated quantity of Asset_Sub_No_123 = 10 - 4 = 6!
3) i.e. updated ANLA-MENGE = 6!
Is my assumptions r correct?
ThanQ.

Post partial retirement using ABAVN

Hi All,
We configured one transaction type for Partial Retirement.Details of depreciation area allowed are as follows:
Depr. area 01, display for selection, always post
Depr. area 32, display for selection
When we are doing partial retirement using ABAVN,the system is not allowoing us to post it.The error displayed is :
Transaction Type has depreciation area limitation,although posting is not mandatoryin all of the depreciation areas entered.However,it is not possible to select depreciation areas in the current transaction.
Please suggest on this.

Hi Paul,
ABAV is not allowed for users.
We require to use ABAVN only.

Error while posting partial retirement through ABAVN

Hi Friends,
I want to post complete retirement of 1 asset which in the same year of acquisiton.
While posting i am getting error msg no. AA671 - "you cannot combine deprec. to the day w/ year-dependent fisc.yr variant".
We are using year dependent fiscal year variant. the parameters in depreciation key are
Base method - 014
decl bal method - 001
prd control - 01(11/01/02/01)
Multi level method - A10.
Class - straight line depreciation
Kindly suggest the parameters in depn key to avoid the error as we donot want to change the fiscal year variant.
Thanks & Regards

Hi Bhairavi,
if your depr. key have the setting: T090NA-XDAILY = x this is the reason for the error message.

Asset Write-off after retirement

Dear Masters in Asset Accounting,
I have a situation where I have to write off the asset in secondary ledger (Ledger A2). The problem is that the asset retirement (ABAVN) was done in the past so I can't write-off the same by using T-code ABSO. Also, we are posting the depreciation to that asset since last 5 months, so I can't write-off by using FB01 / FB01L.
Is there any other way I can write off the asset after retirement only in secondary ledger?
Thank you for reading this and your help.
Jay

Hi Bernhard,
Why you can't make a write-off?
A: Because it gives me an error message. When I try to use ABSO, it gives me an error message saying Asset retirement has alredy been posted so transaction not possible. I am using ABSO because I want to make changes only in ledger A2 (secondary ledger / US GAAP). I can't ABAVN again because it will affect both the ledgers which I want to change only US GAAP.
Is the asset deactivated after ABAVN?
A: No, the asset is not deactivated. It is still active and in use.
Thank You,
Jay

Write off assets

What is the best method to write off assets to 0, This means I want to accelerate depreciation so that the asset net value reaches 0. But I <b>do not</b> wat to retire the asset.

Post unplanned depreciation in the amount of the current net book value. Keep in mind that this will take affect after depreciation is run (it is not an FI document) and will therefore show the asset as being fully depreciated.
There are some other ways (using special depreciation transactions) but this is the one most widely used.

Write off the asset

Hi,
Please can someone advice me how do we write off the asset.
Regards,
Parul

hi
You can call up the asset history sheet as a totals list, or as a detail list showing individual assets. The detail list shows the capitalization date for each asset, and, if applicable, the deactivation date and any transactions in the year being reported.
There is a special history sheet version defined for showing special reserves for special depreciation. This version shows the
·        Initial balance
·        Allocation to special reserves
·        Write-off (depreciation) of special reserves
·        Write-off of special reserves due to asset retirements
·        Write-off of special reserves due to transfers
·        Closing balance
Procedure
       1.      Call up the report for creating the asset history sheet (Info system ® Report selection ® Balance sheet explanations).
       2.      Enter the start parameters for the report. Make the following particularly important entries
         Company code for the report
         Report date
         Sort version that you want to use
         Asset history sheet version that you want to use
         Use the current book value indicator to specify if you wish to show planned annual depreciation, or the depreciation already posted.
       3.      If you have not posted the actual retirement of low value assets, you can use the asset history sheet to simulate their retirement (in order to minimize the transactions necessary for their retirement). In this case, enter the asset class for low value assets.
You also need to specify a time period for the retirement simulation. Please note that the simulation time period must begin on the same date every year so that LVAs can be shown continuously and correctly in the history sheet. This fixed start date should lie in the distant past (for example 1900). Using the same start date each year ensures that LVAs, for which retirement has already been simulated, do not appear in the history sheet with their APC in subsequent years. In addition, the end date for the simulation time period has to be in a fiscal year that is still open.
The same procedure applies for intangible assets.
Graphic: Simulation Time Period
       4.      Limit the report as needed. If needed, make additional entries for lists created using batch input.

Stock Write-off Report

Dear Friends,
Is there a transaction or Report available to see the write-off stock by plant or through any movement types ? Please suggest
the requirement is as fallows:
Report needs to be selectable by IPC or ICC. Or plant
The report will need to show the stock that has been written off in Quantity of the item, the cost of this stock. And where the stock was written off.
The report should provide a total cost per plant and a total cost per item. At that plant. Where multiple locations are viewed the total cost sum for the plants should be provided.
Regards
Prakash

Hi Prakash
Could you please clarify the following
1. Is this write-off stock means stock posted to scrapping (551 mvmt)?
2. What do you mean by IPC and ICC?
If you can able to bifurcate the write-off through mvmt 551 (or any other) you may get all your requirements in MB51 report itself.
Thanks/ GVRR

Project Billing "write-off" options

I'm attempting to determine the best method of "writing off" transactions on direct projects that have been reported as billable, accrued revenue but will never be billed. Please consider the following narrative as an example:
A consultant (consultant x) charges April time and expense to project 10001 in a billable capacity (charged transactions to a billable task). The transactions are cost distributed, revenue distributed and an invoice is subsequently produced. All cost and revenue transactions are produced, interfaced and ultimately posted to the general ledger in April. The month of April is closed in PA and the invoices for the April billing cycle are produced. Project 10001's draft invoice includes those charges reported by consultant x and is distributed to the project manager for approval. The project manager reviews the invoice review and determines that consultant x's transactions will never be billed and instructs the accounting group to write off the transactions.
Challenge: we need a way to "write-off" (reduce revenue and change billing status) transactions that will allow for consistent reporting and measurement. Specifically, we need to be able to determine all write-off's (revenue/billing reductions) in a given period that relate to original transactions from an earlier or different period. In short, we want to establish a policy and procedure for consistently processing and reporting these types of conditions.
Proposed Options:
1) use the "special" non-billable adjustment option from either expenditure inquiry or invoice review to change the billing status from billable to non-billable.
Pros:
a) transactions will remain on the project in the capacity they were reported by the employee
b) an adjustment record will be created in the PA_Expend_Item_adj_Activities table which will include the adjustment activity code (i.e. Billable Reclass, Non-billable reclass, billing hold, billing hold release, etc.)
c) history of who created original transactions and adjustments is available (full audit trail)
d) a reversing revenue entry will be created in the PA_Cust_Rev_Dist_Lines_all table which will allow us to track the dates (gl period) of the revenue adjustment and compare it to the original transaction dates.
Cons:
a) to the average users the transaction on a billable task flagged as non-billable with no corresponding revenue may look unusual because there is no description explaining why the adjustment existed. the only way to determine that revenue existed and was subsequently reversed is to look at item details- revenue details.
b)The revenue write-off will be charged to the same accounts (revenue and inventory) that the original transaction was booked to but in reverse. we don't have the ability to deflect the "write-off" to a bad debt account versus a direct write-off of revenue.
c) The employee's utilization calculations will be impacted by changing the billing status of the transactions and reducing the corresponding revenue. we may need to update the utilization report to reflect these types of transactions differently.
2) use the "special" transfer adjustment option to transfer the transaction from the originating billable task to a non-billable destination task on the project in question.
Pros:
a) the average user will easily see that the transaction in question has been reversed and b) the revenue subsequently written off by the negative revenue on the reversal transaction
c) an adjustment record will be created in the PA_Expend_Item_adj_activities table which will include the applicable adjustment activity code(s) (Transfer Back-out, Transfer Originating, Transfer Destination).
d) history of who created original and adjustments is available.
a reversing revenue entry will be made via e) the negative reversal entry created in the PA_Cust_Rev_Dist_Lines_All table.
Cons:
a) the original transaction is being altered (transferred) by accounting. the integrity of the transaction as it was submitted by the source employee may be compromised.
b) there is no easy way for the average end user to know where the transaction was transferred to. the information is available via ad hoc reporting from database tables but looking at expenditure inquiry for a given project you will not be able to determine where the transaction went if it was transferred to another task and many tasks exist or if it was transferred to another project entirely.
c) The revenue write-off will be charged to the same accounts (revenue and inventory) that the original transaction was booked to but in reverse. we don't have the ability to deflect the "write-off" to a bad debt account versus a direct write-off of revenue.
d) The employee's utilization calculations will be impacted by changing the billing status of the transactions and reducing the corresponding revenue. we may need to update the utilization report to reflect these types of transactions differently.
e) As a common practice, each project will need at least one "non-billable" task to capture such write-off transfers.
3) use a write-off event (both revenue and billing) to reduce the project by the aggregate amount of all transactions in question.
Pros:
a) employee specific transactions and ultimately utilization results will not be impacted by the independent event transaction.
b) by modifying our autoaccounting rules we will be able to book the "write-off" to an account other than a revenue account. (I believe, more research necessary)
Cons:
a) No link back to actual transactions.
b) original transactions will remain untouched and will appear as though they were billed and will show up on the invoice and detail reports to the client along with an aggregated event for the total write-off amount.
Any thoughts or opinions you can provide about the best practice in Oracle will be greatly appreciated.

Diana,
Here's another response from a (very) senior Projects consultant. Her comments are in CAPS, so they can be dinstinguished from your comments:
"I recommend following the approach she outlines in Section 2, with the following additions:
SECTION 2) use the "special" transfer adjustment option to transfer the Transaction from the originating billable task to a non-billable Destination task on the project in question. CORRECT.
A) SET UP THE WBS TO HAVE A TOP LEVEL NON-BILLABLE TASK, ON EVERY PROJECT, WITH A TASK NUMBER OF :"WRITE-OFF".
B) WRITE AUTOACCOUNTING RULE , BASED ON TASK NUMBER, TO ENSURE THAT ANY TRANSACTIONS CHARGED (TRANSFERRED) TO "WRITE-OFF" TASK WILL BE POSTED TO A "WRITE-OFF/BAD DEBT" ACCT IN GENERAL LEDGER.
C) CREATE A DFF AT THE EXPENDITURE ITEM LEVEL WHICH CAN BE POPULATED AT THE TIME OF TRANSFER, TO INDICATE WHERE THE TRX IS BEING TRANSFERRED TO. IT IS TRUE THAT TRANSFER ACTIVITY REPORT WILL TELL YOU THIS AS WELL, BUT IF YOU
WANT TO SEE IT ONLINE DURING EXPEND. INQ, THEN DFF IS FINE.
D) AS TO CONCERNS ABOUT "THE INTEGRITY" OF THE TRANSACTION AS IT IS SUBMITTED BY THE EMPLOYEE BEING COMPROMISED, THIS IS CERTAINLY POSSIBLE, BUT IF THIS IS A SERIOUS BUSINESS CONCERN, THEN I WOULD CONSIDER CREATING AN ALERT TO THE EMPLOYEE WHO ENTERED THE ORIGINAL TRX, ADVISING THEM OF THE CHANGE AND REQUESTING THEIR REVIEW AND OR APPROVAL OF THE TRANSFERRED TRX. I CAN SEE THIS BECOMING QUITE CUMBERSOME THOUGH, AND, OVERALL, ACCOUNTING DEPARTMENTS MANIPULATE TRANSACTIONS FOR ACCOUNTING PURPOSES ALL THE TIME AS STANDARD PRACTICE, SO I'M NOT SURE WHY THIS IS AN ISSUE HERE.
E) AND LASTLY, IT IS TRUE THAT AS A COMMON PRACTICE, EACH PROJECT WILL NEED A
'WRITE-OFF" TASK AS A STANDARD PART OF IT'S WBS-- SO WHAT? IT'S JUST ONE MORE TASK IN YOUR WBS. BUILD IT INTO YOUR PROJECT TEMPLATES, AND MAKE IT NOT CHARGEABLE UNTIL WRITE OFFS BECOME NECESSARY. AS TO UTILIZATION, THERE IS NOT ENOUGH INFO IN THE CLIENT QUESTION TO ADDRESS THAT ISSUE PROPERLY.
THAT'S ABOUT IT. HOPE THIS HELPS.
BEST REGARDS, PAT"

MR11 Write-Offs (KP doc type) not clearing

A maintenance adjustment transaction (MR11) was executed to 'write-off' the open receipts on a purchase order. All purchase order items have the same accounting (Profit Center, GL Acct, Comp Code). The MR11 transaction creates a KP (account maintenance document) which is posted against the PO line and is cleared against the receipt accounting document(s).
A clearing document should be created to offset the receipt/invoice document with the maintenance document.
For some reason, part of the items that were 'maintenanced' on the PO did not get cleared, while other items did get cleared. Our internal SAP GL super users have reviewed the documents and cannot understand why some of these did not clear.
Thoughts?

Hi
Please check whether there are "quantity differences" in those POs. If not, then MR11 will not do. Also please check whether the account assignment of those POs are "order". If so, settlement is the way forward to close the PO.

Asset Write Off Process

Hi SAP Gurus,
I have one asset under construction created in 2008 which is not yet capitalised. Now requirement is to write off the same in current year.
Need the soultion to this step by step..

transaction ABAVN?

Asset write-off in prior month.

Is it possible to write off assets from an earlier month end date e.g the NBV of assets with a month end date of 31/05/09 or can you only write off within the current month?
If this is possible, how will SAP deal with the depreciation and how will it charge any depreciation posted after that date?

Hi Jeremy Lumb
Yes you can retire an asset in prior period where depreciation has already been posted. The system will recalculate the total depreciation for year in the retirement year and make adjustments (positive value) in the next period. You can then run depreciation again so the adjusted value will be posted .
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Write off asset under construction

we have one AUC, we have create a PO for this AUC, the AUC has amount of 200K USD, we haven't transfer it to fixed assets, how to write off the AUC, (we want to completely write off this AUC, because the company code which creates this AUC going bankruptcy), I tried ABAON, ABAVN, but this is specific to asset, asset under construction can't be used. any idea? thanks

Hi,
1) AIAB - Distribute (update a rule with G/L settlement with a GL account for 100%)
AIBU - Settle (Execute settlement)
Or
2)
Posting direct FI entry.
FB01
Debit 40 posting key GL expenses to which you write off,
Credit 75 posting key Asset #

Accrual Write-off Amt in Accrual Write-Off & Accrual Recon report not tele

Hi,
Need a help here,
Oracle EBS version : 11.5.10.2
The Accrual Write-Off Amount in Accrual Write-off report does not tele with the Write-Off Amount shown in Accrual Reconciliation Report, any clues to investigate? This happens for the first time after we apply an Oracle mega patch, in the past, the amount from the 2 reports were always tele.
Thanks.

You are right contains both matched and not matched records in this table.
This is a temp table only, so the actual data is populated from the po and ap/inventory tables
by the accural reconciliation build process in to this table.
This table is the staging area for managing accruals - review/write off.
If you write off the information is marked in both the temp table and also the source tables.
So next time you re-populate the temp table (accrual reconciliation build) you could wipe the temp
table and bring the data again but exclude written off transactions.
Doing mass accrual writeoff is not possible, without a customization.
Identify what happens in a writeoff and do the same using custom code.
I have designed such an application at one of my client.

FP04 : Write off and debiting Tax accounts

Dear All,
I have an issue with debiting tax account on write off.
Scenario: Invoice posted $1000 including tax of $100. i.e $900 consumption (revenue) + $100 tax.
GL Postings:
Customer account 1000 Dr
Revenue Account   900 Cr
Sales tax                 100 Cr.
Write off( FP04 any reason codes).
System posts the Following:
Customer account 1000 Cr
Expense Account 1000 Dr
I need it to be like:
Customer account 1000 Cr
Expense Account   900 Dr
Sales tax                 100 Dr.
I've tried everything I can, but I think I'm missing something very obvious and silly.
1) Maintained posting areas:
0120 : Expense Account (No tax code specified and tried with tax code too)
0121 : Expense Account for non tax related items (same expense account)
0122 : Tax Adjustment Flag (Tested with both flag on and off)
2) Define Act Assignments ReLU to Main Transactions
Company     Division     Act Deter        Main       Acct
1000     10          01-10               0090       Expense account
1000     10          01-10               0095       Expense account
3) ISU u2013 Define Acct Assignment Relv to Transactions
Set Main receivable account (Customer account) for all combination of 0090 and 0095. i.e. 0010 and 0020.
Company     Division     Act Deter              Main/Sub      Acct
So what am I doing wrong?
Thank you very much.
Edited by: JayUtility on Jan 31, 2012 2:53 PM

Thank you Ivor. Tried that too.
I'm still stuck at:
Customer (AR) Account 1000 Cr
Expense           Account 1000 Dr
The entire invoice amount is debiting against the Expense / bad debt account.
I need that only the consumption portion should debit Expense account and the Tax portion should debit the Tax account.
Customer account 1000 Cr
Expense Account    900 Dr
Sales tax                 100 Dr.
It seems like an easy enough thing. I must be missing something.
