Split of asset value to sub numbers in AA

Hello
Situation is that the main asset number has to be split into more sub asset numbers, but I would like to 'remove' the acq values and acc depreciations from the main asset number and split it on the sub assets in Asset Accounting. How to do this?
Thanks in advance

Hmmm, even though I have tried this I don't succeed...
In customizing 'Define Transfer Variant', 'Maintain Transfer Variant' the settings are '2, *, 1, 300, 310'. Still I get the message about transaction type 152...
In ABUMN I enter:
Transaction data:
Asset number
Transfer to Asset number and subnumber
Additional details:
Transfer variant 4
Partial Transfer
Percentage rate 10

From curr.yr aquis (asset acquired in 2009, which is also the fiscal year in our Development system)

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

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.

Sridhar

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 Hay

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.

A more efficient way to assure that a string value contains only numbers?

Hi ,
I'm using Oracle 9.2.0.6.
I was curious to know if there was any way I could write a more efficient query to determine if a string value contains only numbers.
Here's my current query. This SQL is from a sub query in a Join clause.
select distinct cta.CUSTOMER_TRX_ID, to_number(cta.SALES_ORDER) SALES_ORDER
            from ra_customer_trx_lines_all cta
            where length(cta.SALES_ORDER) = 6
            and cta.SALES_ORDER is not null
            and substr(cta.SALES_ORDER,1,1) in('1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','0')
            and substr(cta.SALES_ORDER,2,1) in('1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','0')
            and substr(cta.SALES_ORDER,3,1) in('1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','0')
            and substr(cta.SALES_ORDER,4,1) in('1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','0')
            and substr(cta.SALES_ORDER,5,1) in('1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','0')
            and substr(cta.SALES_ORDER,6,1) in('1','2','3','4','5','6','7','8','9','0')This is a string where I'm finding A-Z-a-z characters and '/' and '-' characters in all 6 positions, plus there are values that are longer than 6 characters. That's what the length(cta.SALES_ORDER) = 6 is for. Also, of course. some cells are NULL.
So the question is, is there a more efficient way to screen out only the values in this field that are 6 character numbers or is what I have the best I can do?
Thanks,

I appreciate all of your very helpfull workarounds. The cost is a little better in all cases than my original where clause.
To address the discussion that's popped up about design from this question, I can say a few things that should clear , at least, my situation up.
First of all this custom quoting , purchase order , and sales order entry system WAS written by a bunch a of 'bad' coders who didn't document their work and then left. We don't even have an ER diagram
The whole project that I'm only a small part of is literally trying to put Humpty Dumpty together again and then move it from a bad custom solution into Oracle Applications.
We're rebuilding, documenting, and doing ETL. This is one of your prototypical projects from hell.
It's a huge database project so we're taking small bites as a time. Hopefully, somewhere right before Armageddon hits, this thing will be complete.
But until then,..., well,..., you know the drill.
Thanks Again.

Scrap Asset and its sub assets in one transaction code

Please suggest if it is possible to scrap an asset and all its sub assets in one transaction as opposed to scrapping them separately in ABAVN.
regards
Rekha

Click on the button Multiple assets and fill in there the main asset and sub numbers. You have to fill them all in. There is no transaction that you can do this with filling in only the main-asset number

Asset values as of a particular date.

Is there a function module from which we can get the Asset values as on a particular date ?

Use Transaction Code AR01, & give what ever date you want.
I think system will give .

Error in Asset Value carry forward to next year

As a regular periodic process of Month/Year closing activities in SAP, Asset Year 2015 was opened and then closes the year 2014 and carried forward the Asset values to the year 2015. But unfortunately some of the Asset value had not been transferred to the year 2015. As a result, Depreciation had not been charged for those Asset for the year 2015. Need to transfer the Asset value to the current year immediately. Can any one help me regarding the problem ? The APC Start value is showing in the year 2014 but its not showing in 2015.
The Closing value of Current APC of year 2014 does not match with the Opening value of the APC Start, so what should be the possible reasons for that ?

Hi Erika,
I did that on last January 2015. First i use the T-code: AJRW for the Fiscal Year Change and then T-code: AJAB - for Year end-closing Asset Accounting as i did that for last 4 years. Though there was as error message indicating error in depreciation calculation, our consultant assured me that that will not create any problem. The Error was like below:

Hi Paul,
Thanks for your valuable inputs.
As per second option my client is not configured the Revaluation of assests, hence this is not applicable.
Then as per your first option we can go ahed on this.
Please could you suggest me which t code is most suitable for the manual posting.

Thanks for your instant reply.
Our client has done a wrong posting of write-up in 2008. We have to reverse that entry. Now 2008 is closed. And we already run depreciation for 2009.
Now how we will reverse the entry of write-up for 2008. As it is affecting net book value. As this asset is with negative values. Client wanted increase the net book value of that asset. So they did write-up but instead of increasing the net book value it decreases as the asset was with negative values.
So how do we reverse the write-up entry for 2008 which is closed now?
Please give your valuable suggestion.

Problem in Asset value calculation ... ANEP and ANLC

Hellö ,
We have a problem in calculation of the Fixed Asset values. Please see the link below for the problem. Technically it sums up like transaction values are available in the table ANEP but ANLC table is with the wrong value, Some of the transactions are not reflecting in the calculations of planned values for some of the Assets.
http://docs.google.com/View?id=ddqnbgm8_49cmgq86gx
We develop and implemented a functionality with the next
characteristics:
a. When we ran the MIRO transaction to a fixed asset situation, a
substitution in accounting documents (using a user-exit ) determines
the profit center to the fixed asset and insert the line
item in a custom table.
b. The custom program identifies all pending line items for processing
(via custom table) and, for each fixed asset identified, reverse the
original accounting document, and post the fixed asset in the profit
center '04219CL000'. To do this movement between the profit
center '04106CL000' and '04219CL000' the custom program uses a zero
balance account.
c. First of all, the custom program set the Field <negative values>
(BAPI1022_DEP_AREAS- NEG_VALUES) using the function
BAPI_FIXEDASSET_CHANGE. Later the custom program post the accounting
document using the function BAPI_ACC_GL_POSTING_POST;
d. In less than 1% of the cases the fixed asset posted in this process
it seems with a problem: the asset line itens (transactions - ANEP
table) where correct posted but the fixed asset acquisition values
(ANLC table) where posted in a wrong way (it's initialized - without
any value sometime or not summing up some transaction values properly).
e. Our custom program does not update any field value on the asset.
All the modifications on the asset are being made by the standard
functions above.
Edited by: Ravi Sharma on Jun 17, 2009 9:16 AM

Hi,
the problem is: Does anybody give you the correct value for each part?
If you know the value for each part you can use transaction ABUMN to transfer values from one asset to a new asset. With this transaction you can create a new asset. And you can make a partial transfer.
If you use this transaction you can simulate before you transfer it.
But as I said the problem is to find out the correct value. In germany for example we have to activate all in one fixed asset (computer with cbu )
Hope this answer your question.
Best regards
Volker

Asset Value Date determination during settlement from Orders or WBS!

Hi,
I have a scenario on the asset value date and I am not sure what went wrong, asset side or CO side.
The scenario is as following:
1. Asset was converted into the system by 7/31/2008 with $10000.
2. The capitalized on date is 2/29/2008 on the asset master data.
3. On 8/31/ 2008, I charged $300 to an internal order and settled the $300 to this asset. The Asset Value Date on the Asset Explorer is 8/15/2008.
4. On 9/30/2008, I charged #500 to the same internal order and settled the $500 to this asset, the Asset value date on the asset explorer for this charge is still 8/15/2008.
This messed up the depreciation of this asset. Does anyone know how to control the asset value date from the settlement? Do we need to config in Asset side or in Order side? I want the $300 charge's value date is on 8/15/2008 and $500 value date on 9/15/2008. Is this possible?
Thanks,
Ting

In the settlement you can fill in the asset values date.
The first posting is the basis for capitalization date(when you don't fill it in manual), when you fill it in for the second time the Asset Value Date it is no longer relefant.
This is only important when you have say in your depreciation key that the depreciation is based on days( see the help on this field)

Asset Acquisition with Asset Value Date earlier than GI post.date

Dear all,
I am curently using SAP ECC 6.0. We are not creating AuC assets but directly capitalizing assets from investment accounts.
If a material is issued with a date in March and i try to acquire it with asset value date from a previous period, for example in February, the system doesnt issue any message and lets me post the transaction. The accountants claim that this hadnt been possible in the earlier version of SAP 4.6 that we had been using and that the system had issued an error message - "Posting not possible (Value date earlier than capitalization date)"
The accounting logic is that you cant capitalize an asset with a date earlier than the date when it has been in use, i.e. in our case it`s the date the material has been issued from the warehouse.
Does someone know what logic does SAP follow in this case - and if i can set a validation control that will check and compare the two dates?
Any opinion would be appreciated

We are on ECC 5.0 and we do get that message, but it is a warning.

that said, you can setup a validation using GGB0 and asset accounting
