Re: Maintaining Asset with Sub-numbers

Hi Guys
I need some assistance in maintaining assets with sub-numbers. I tried creating one and posting to it, but I am getting some problems:
- the main asset # does not have any value, should this not be this a sum of the sub-assets?
- how do I get the sub-numbers to depreciate independently according to their acquisition dates? meaning that a sub-asset with 5 years life should depreciate for 5 years regardless of the gap between it's acquisition and that of other sub-numbers for the same asset.
- the reports to show asset by asset # shows the sub-numbers, is there any way to get them to show just the main number?
Thanks

Hi Nadia,
The Asset Subnumber together with the main asset number, uniquely identifies a fixed asset in Asset Accounting.
Using the asset sub-number, you can:
Provide for separate management of later acquisitions to assets.
Represent complex fixed assets with their component parts.
In contrast to the main asset number, the asset sub-number must be numerical.
the Main Asset will always have the subnumber as "0", which uniquely identifies that it is the Mainasset.
Hope this helps.

Creation of Asset with Sub-number

Hi Gurus,
Would like to ask for your expert advice regarding the creation of Asset using Sub-numbers.
We have seversal assets where expenses and depreciation will be divided into different cost centers. We are planning to use asset subnumber for easier monitoring of related assets but we are a little bit undecided because we do not know if there are any disadvantages of using asset sub numbers.
Is it advisable to use asset sub-number? What are the things that we need to consider if in case we will use asset subnumber in creating our assets.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Madhu,
I tried to create an asset in AS01 and afterwards create subnumbers ( Subnumbers 1-3 ) for that asset in AS11. But it seems that I cannot edit the field of the assets with subnumbers. It copies the same data as that of the one created in AS01 ( subnumber 0 ).
I also tried to run depreciation in AFAB but only the main asset was depreciated. The sub assets were not depreciated.
Kindly advise the steps to correctly execute this.
Thanks,

Asset Number at sub numbers

Hello Gurus,
Our client requires asset at sub number level e.g. Asset Class Furniture & Fixtures.
Asset number starts with 1000 and if their are 2000 tables in an organisation, it would be done thru sub asset concept. So my table asset will be grouped under Asset Code 1000.0 and all the child asset at sub level will be like 1000.01, 1000.02, till 1000.2000. So they can get a unique number range for all asset.
First thing I would like to ask whether is advisable or not? Because, our client are having chairs in lakhs. So whether I can have asset number as 1001.100000 or not to group the chairs (1001). Will their be any system restriction for numbers?
Kindly suggest me in this matter.
Thanks and Regards
Vinayak Vaidya

Hi,
Asset sub number can have maximum of 4 digits. means it will be like 1000-9999 according to you.
But as far as business process is concern most of the companies will not create multiple asset masters/sub numbers for each and individual chair or table.
Since SAP does not have check for creating as many as main asset numbers, but only 9999 sub numbers can be created.
I would suggest you to create one asset (1000-0) and put the quantity of chairs in that asset master, means quantity 100000 and BUM is NOS, since chair itself is a low value asset. But some companies straight way depreciate them in full during the acquisition year only by creating as a LVA asset, which must have dep key as GWG. It is a standard SAP deliveried dep key for LVA assets.
This will be more easy and causes less database occupancy within AA module. And most important thing is while running depreci\ation runs also it will be quicker than if it have 100000 sub assets.
Hope you got my point.
Thanks,
Srinu

Useful Life for Assets and Asset Sub Numbers

I am just learning about SAP Asset Accounting, for an implementation project, and I have a question about the Useful life of an Asset Sub Number when setting up Assets with Asset Sub numbers.
Does the useful life of the Asset Sub number have to be the same as the useful life of the Asset Main number?
I would like to know if I can set up an Asset, such as a building, with the asset main number, that has a useful life of say 40 years, then create asset sub numbers for things like the HVAC system that has a useful life of say 15 years.
I am not sure if it would be better to use a group asset for this situation or not.
Thank you in advance for any help you can give me with this!

Amy,
"Does the useful life of the Asset Sub number have to be the same as the useful life of the Asset Main number?"
No. A sub number can have completely different attributes from it's main asset (cost center, order, keys, UL...).
The situation you're describing is possible and from a design perspective it <i>can</i> be a good idea. Yes, you can create a main asset "Building" with a 40 year UL, but then have sub-assets for other major components (HVAC, Elevator, Security). This is one of the two types of design techniques for sub assets (a component based design). The other is based on the year of capital improvements. For instance, you could create a subasset "2007" and settle all projects related to capital improvements to that subasset. That way you would get visibility into capital acquisitions in FIAA reporting without having to goto CO or PS.
I would definitely <b>not</b> recommend using group assets. Group assets are used for composite depreciation scenarios and do more than just "group" similar records together.

Creation of sub item with serial numbers in outbound delivery

Hi All,
We need to create a sub item for an Outbound Delivery main item in change mode with serial numbers for sub item.
Process flow:
1. Sales order item created with main item
2. Outbound Delivery created with main item
3. Outbound Delivery interfaced to external logistics sytem
4. External logistics system pick the main item and a sub item (packaging) from warehosue and ship to customer
5. External logistics sytems send delivery pick confirmation interface with main item details and serial numbers for sub item
Now we have to create a sub item with serial numbers in the delivery referencing the same main item.
NB: Delivey can have multiple similar main items but there is only material number in SAP for sub item. Hence the requirement to identify relevant sub item serial numbers to each delivery main item.
Can you kindly tell me in what possible ways we can create sub item with serial numbers for a deliveyr main item in change mode.
Thanks in advance

Delete Asset Master with Sub-Assets

Hi Gurus,
A client of mine has an Asset with out any values, but it has sub-assets under it with values and depreciation.
Is it possible to delete the main asset and still have sub-assets? If not what is the way I can delete the main asset and still retain sub-assets?
Thanks.
regards,
Raj

Hi Gurus,
Thanks for the replies.
The user has in the mean time went ahead and deleted the main asset that did not have values, now we are able to only see the asset when we go to the report (asset balance report), but not able to see when we go to Display Asset (AS03).
Is there any way we can undo this?
Thanks.
regards,
Raj

Business Partner records with large numbers of addresses -- Move-in issue

Friends,
Our recent CCS implementation (ECC6.0ehp3 & CRM2007) included the creation of some Business Partner records with large numbers of addresses. Most of these are associated with housing authorities, large developers and large apartment complex owners. Some of the Business Partners have over 1000 address records and one particular BP has over 6000 addresses that were migrated from our Legacy System. We are experiencing very long run times to try to execute move in's and move out's due to the system reading the volume of addresses attached to the Business Partner. In many cases, the system simply times out before it can execute the transaction. SAP's suggestion is that we run a BAPI to cleanse the addresses and also to implement a BADI to prevent the creation of excess addresses.
Two questions surrounding the implementation of this code. Will the BAPI to cleanse the addresses, wipe out all address records except for the standard address? That presents an issue to ensure that the standard address on the BP record is the correct address that we will have identified as the proper mailing address. Second question is around the BADI to prevent the creation of excess addresses. It looks like this BADI is going to prevent the move in address from updating the standard address on the BP record which in the vast majority of cases is exactly what we would want.
Does anyone have any experience with this situation of excess BP addresses and how did you handle the manipulation and cleansing of the data and how do you maintain it going forward?
Our solution is ECC6.0Ehp3 with CRM2007...latest patch level
Specifically, SAP suggested we apply/review these notes:
Note 1249787 - Performance problem during move-in with huge addresses
**applied this ....did not help
Note 861528 - Performance in move-in for partner w/ large no of addresses
**older ISU4.7 note
Directly from our SAP message:
use the function module
BAPI_BUPA_ADDRESS_REMOVE or run BAPI_ISUPARTNER_CHANGE to delete
unnecessary business partner addresses.
Use BAdI ISU_MOVEIN_CUSTOMIZE to avoid the creation of unnecessary
business partner addresses (cf. note 706686) in the future for that
business partner.
Note 706686 - Move-in: Avoid unnecessary business partner addresses
Does anyone have any suggestions and have you used above notes/FMs to resolve something like this?
Thanks,
Nick

Nick:
One thing to understand is that the badi and bapi are just the tools or mechanisms that will enable you to fix this situation. You or your development team will need to define the rules under which these tools are used. Lets take them one at a time.
BAPI - the bapi for business partner address maintenance. It would seem that you need to create a program which first read the partners and the addresses assigned to them and then compares these addresses to each other to find duplicate addresses. These duplicates then can be removed provided they are not used elsewhere in the system (i.e. contract account).
BADI - the badi for business partner address maintenance. Here you would need to identify the particular scenarios where addresses should not be copied. I would expect that most move-ins would meet the criteria of adding the address and changing the standard address. But for some, i.e. landlords or housing complexes, you might not add an address because it already exists for the business partner, and you might not change the standard address because those accounts do not fall under that scenario. This will take some thinking and design to ensure that the address add/change functions are executed under the right circumstances.

Problem with Purchase Order creation with Random numbers .

Hi Experts
Currently i am facing an issue with Bapi BAPI_PO_CREATE1 to create Purchase order with random numbers for example items 1, 3,5.
Please let me know the settings .
Thanks in Advance

Hi Neha,
A reset of the release strategy only takes place if
- the changeability of the release indicator is set to '4' in
   case of a purchase requisition and '4' or '6' in case of
   another purchasing document (purchase order, request for
   quotation, contract, scheduling agreement),
- the document is still subject to the previous release
   strategy,
- the new TOTAL NET ORDER VALUE is higher than the old one.
The total net order value is linked to CEKKO-GNETW for a purchase order,
CEBAN-GSWRT for a purchase requisition item-wise release and CEBAN-GFWRT
for a purchase requisition overall release.
If you have maintained a Tolerance for value changes during release
(V_161S-TLFAE), the release strategy is reset when the value of the
document is higher than the percentage you have specified and if the
document is still subject to the previous release strategy.
Review the SAP note 365604 and 493900 for more
information about Release strategy.

Ashwini.

How do I save a style of paragraphs with a numbered list in Pages 05?

I wish to save a style of paragraph with a numbered list. Is it possible to save them at the same time in Pages 5 as it was in Pages 09'?
Where are the shortcuts?
Thanks.

Yes, I know but there is no real list preset. The format command, when opened, shows a menu and I think you are using the word Style differently. A Style in 09 allowed one to save present formatting for several text appearance options, which is no longer possible in 05 "styles." Styles in text edting for applications like Word, OpenOffice, iBooks, and Pages 09 referred to a way to save a set of formatting command together and apply them with one click. That's the rub here in 5.
Yes, you can apply a bullet as a "style" to a paragraph, bui you cannot save that formatting as a preset in any way to do it in one click. The issue is consistency and one click capability for multiple formatting features for a paragraph of text.
Separating bullets and lists from the ability to maintain them in the Paragraph style removed the one click paragraph formatting option which is helpful for anyone who uses it more than a few times in a document.
The need is for people who want to use common formatting for paragraphs and maintain a one-click option to apply text, indent, spacing, and bullets in one click, not spread out in several menus and lists.
If you can explain how to do this in Pages 5 I will be very happy and you will have saved me many clicks. Otherwise I will continue to use the bullet "style" list drop down menu.

Asset and sub asset simoultaneous retirement

can i config the system such a way that for specific assets...if i retire the main asset the sub assets are retired automatically....

Hi,
I don't think, this is possible.
The purpose of subnumber is to control subsequent acquisition to the main asset and/or represent complex fixed assets with their component parts.
You can retire all the subnumbers with multiple option in ABAON but I don't think you can default retirement of all subnumbers when you retire main asset.

'Contacts' folder with sub folder cannot be removed after synching via iTunes

'Contacts' folder with sub folder cannot be removed after synching via iTunes
I am trying to remove a 'Contacts' subfolder
ie Contacts < default folder
- Contacts Mysubfolder 1 < Trying to remove this subfolder folder
via my microsoft outlook onto my iPhone.
Despite not having 'Contacts Mysubfolder 1' on my PC's outlook after deleting it, it does not delete the subfolder in my iPhone.
I even restored my iPhone settings to the original via iTunes.
I also replaced my physical iPhone but still synching with my original Apple ID + iTunes on the same desktop.
All I did was after replacement of my iP, i setup my microsoft Exchange account, and there it was, the Contacts subfolder which is no longer around, appears on my iPhone contacts folder list.
My outlook is on Microsoft exchange and I am on iP 3Gs
Please help
Thank you

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If you are running 64-bit Windows and the above steps haven't helped try installing the version of iTunes that can be downloaded from this support document. iTunes 12.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
If you still have no luck try reinstalling iTunes 12.0, links in the user tip.

I have 1 apple id, 2 5S iPhones with separates numbers and both ring when I get a call on one of the numbers. How do I switch that of ?

I have 1 Apple ID, 2 5S iPhones (1 private/1 work) with separates numbers and both phones ring when I get a call on one of the numbers. How do I switch that of ?

I realize that my wife could make her own iTunes account; however, she's been using mine for about 2 years now and this hasn't been an issue. I guess with the Family Sharing she can have access to all of our music and apps now with her own account.
I'll have to see if unchecking our emails resolves this issue.

Yes and no it really depends on what information you are putting on the devices.
