Step-up assets (FMV - NBV) - Use of asset subnumber?

Hi all,
A question about step-up assets. Our client has recently acquired another company. The newly acquired assets would have a NBV that is either more or less than the fair market value. There is a business requirement that this difference in NBV and FMV has to be recorded and depreciated.
What are some available options? Can this difference be treated as an asset & assigned to the main asset as a child (subnumber)?
Thanks!

Thank you Bernhard.
Our  business wants to use asset sub-numbers to manage these step-ups/step-downs.
One oustanding requirement is that they want to see these step-up/step-down assets separately in the ledger. In other words, they want to have different APC and depreciation accounts than the ones on the main asset. Is this possible? I always thought that you cannot have a different account determination on the asset sub-number than the one on the main asset.
If having different accounts is not possible, is there any otherway they can differentiate these step-up/step-down assets in the ledger (balance sheet/P&L)?
Thanks

  • Asset Subnumber Question ...

    Hii SAPfans,
    l have been assign by my boss to enhance Asset management in our company, i need your help to explain what does Asset Subnumber mean & what is the function of this subnumber ?
    kindly help ....

    Hi
    SAP defines sub number as below:
    Number, which in combination with the main asset number, uniquely identifies an asset in the system.
    Using the asset sub-number makes it possible to represent complex fixed assets in the system.
    The fixed asset is identified by the main asset number. Each individual part of the asset, or subsequent acquisitions, can be represented by a sub-number. You have to enter separate master data for each sub-number
    However while you digest the definition, you need to check with your boss the scope of the AA.
    AA is not a stand alone but is a integrated functionality with other SAP components.
    Specific to sub numbers, try to fix one main asset under which possibility of assigning sub asset is probable.
    Proceed with creation of seperate asset master records.

  • Hi What are the steps to integrate with Sharepoint using BPEL?

    Hi
    What are the steps to integrate with Sharepoint using BPEL?
    We are going to integrate with Web Center Interaction at the other end.
    I really appreciate if you can share if you have a document or instructions / links on how the same be achieved

    You have two options:
    Use a SQL Alias and you will then need to swing all databases over to the new SQL Server
    Don't use a SQL Alias and swing all but the Configuration and Administration databases to the new SQL Server, and individually re-configure Service Applications/Web Applications to use the new SQL Server. This will force you to keep the old SQL Server around.

  • Archivation of asset subnumber object AM_ASSET

    Hi experts,
    I want to archive few subnumbers of asset. For example I have asset P09.08.011 subnumber 0 which have subnumbers 1 - 21.
    I want to archive asset subnumbers from 13 - 19. There is not amount in those subnumbers.
    I searched web, and I found some guides e.g . Data archiving in FIAA
    http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ERPFI/DataArchivinginFI-+AA
    but when I tried to create write variant for archivation object AM_ASSET, I didn't found any possibility to enter asset subnumbers in archivation variant. I can only enter assets, but no subnumbers in test mode with archive file.
    Is there possibility to archive only few asset subnumbers ?
    Can I somehow copy archivation object AM_ASSET and somenow change this copy for my purpose?
    Please help me ...
    Thanks and regards,
    Adrian

    Hi Adrian,
    Looks like you are right - info structure AM_ASSET does not support archiving by asset subnumber.
    What you could do is a development to expand the info-structure to include sub-numbers.  I am not an expert in that; you may want to post something in the archiving forum under application lifecycle management.
    Good luck,

  • Double declining in asset subnumber

    Hi SAP Guru,
    I need to know why SAP system behave cutting down the depreciation value into 2 for asset sub number 1.
    With double declining multiplication factor 25% and maximum percentage rate 2.5%. The date of capitalized is 10.03.2014 and start depreciation is 22.02.2014. which mean the manual calc depre for 2014 is 10month.
    (25.183.558*25%)*(10/12)= 5.246.574
    The main asset is already finish depreciation and leave NBV ZERO since 2011.
    the question is why ordinary depreciation for this year 2014 just a half 2.623.288?
    Thank you master.

    Hi Prince,
    System is calculating the depreciation correctly. Your depreciation is based on useful life.
    (25.183.558/8)*10/12= 2,623,288.
    You have taken 25% instead of 8 years. Due to this the difference raised.

  • No Field Copy during creation of  assets Subnumber

    Hello,
    Is there any way to deactive the some field data during the Creation of Sub number when using the reference assets number.
    I have already unchecked the copy field in Screen layout setting for Assets master data. But still the Capitalisation date and Ordinatory depreciation dates are copyed from the reference assets number.
    I don't want to have the old value for the capitalisation date and ordinatory depreication strat date in the newly created Sub assets number.
    kindly show the wayout of this issue.
    With regards

    hi Dominic Holdstock 
    Thanks for reply. you have given me vital clue to solve the problem. We have to uncheck the Main Assets number ("MnNo") in screen layout for master data.
    I have assigned point for you.

  • Creation of Asset subnumber

    Hi,
    I just want to know if an Asset main number has been created and depreciation has also been posted on it and now if a sub number is to be created within the same main number system wont allow changing the depreciation start date.
    User requirement is to create a sub asset within the main asset whose depreciation has been posted with the depreciation start date field to be in changeable mode but here the system has grayed out the field..
    If this is like this then what else can we do
    Any help

    Hi,
    This can be done using screen layout.  But, be aware that the change in Depn. start date makes the system re calculate the deprecition depending upon the other criteria.

  • Asset subnumber

    Hi gurus,
    I have an asset activated in 2001 which has a useful life of 5 months, 6 months.
    Before this asset depreciated completely a subnumber was posted, with activation date july 2006.
    On  this asset the depreciation start was set as the depreciation start for the main number in 2001.
    Why no depreciation is calculated on subnumber?
    Regards,
    Miroslav

    Hi Miroslav,
    Your problem is probably caused by the depreciation key that you are using.  Verify its configuration using T code AFAMA.  As you stated in your blog the useful life has expired for the  subnumber asset.  The depreciation key you are using may not have a changeover method for posting depreciation after the useful life has expired (changeover method "5").  Therefore, it doesn't know what to do with the remaining depreciation.  If a changeover method is defined after the expiration of the useful life, then verify when the next phase is told to take remaining depreciation (i.e. beginning of year).  It may try to take it at the beginning of 2008.  Verify by running a Asset History Sheet or Depreciation Simulation report for 2008.
    Hope this helps!
    Thanks,
    Chad

  • Advice on asset/asset subnumber/asset quantity

    Hello
    When I buy 50 computers from a vendor, all identical, I receive the computers and the related invoice from the vendor over a period of 18 months for example 15 on 1.1.2010, 10 on 1.3.2010 and 25 on 1.9.2010
    Should I
    create 50 separate assets and when entering the invoices enter 15 or 10 or 25 lines for each asset?
    or create 1 asset with 50 subnumbers and when entering the invoices enter 15 or 10 or 25 lines for each assetnumber?
    or create 1 asset with quantity 50 and when entering the invoice post to the same asset?
    or create 1 asset with in the description field "50 computers"?
    Please advise the pros and cons of each technical possibility.
    Thanks
    Arjan

    Hi,
    Normally a fixed asset can be represented in the system using several master records, that is in the form of sub-numbers. Assets may be divided using sub-numbers if:
    -Managing the values for subsequent acquisitions in following years (i.e., buildings) separately.
    -Managing the values for individual parts of assets separately,
    -Dividing the asset according to various technical aspects.
    In your case you have purchased 50 computers but you received invoice in 3 periods.
    For each period when you are booking invoice (one invoice for several computers) give the Number of similar asset field with that many number of computers for the invoice you have received.
    For example in period 1 you might have received invoice for 10 computers then enter Number of similar assets with 10. with this single asset master creation transaction your can create the asset master with similar parameters but the description and inventory/serial number for each computer may differ.
    Why because in future if you want to have any special kind of transactions for indidual computers(assets) it is not possible if you create it as a single asset for each invoice.

  • Help wanted - step by step process on how to use two ipods on one computer

    I'm just in the process of getting an ipod (waiting on delivery!) and want to know how it is possible to have two ipods using the same computer but synchronizing differently. I don't want to risk losing my partners music (he'll be very upset!) and I don't want to end up with his music on my ipod. I'd appreciate it if someone could give me a step by step guide or tell me where the best place to look for the answer is. Is it possible somehow to have two different libraries on one computer? Is that how it works?

    There are a couple of methods for using more than one iPod on a single computer. Have a look at the article linked below. Method one is to have two Mac or Windows user accounts which by definition would give you two completely separate libraries. Method two as Chris has already described above is to set your preferences so each iPod is updated with only certain playlists within one library. Have a look anyway and see what you think and go for whichever you feel suits your needs best: How To Use Multiple iPods with One Computer

  • How to set the active Step in a process Train using JSF

    I have a process train that I am pointing to a list of steps, I want to be able to set the current step, but cannot find the property to set.
    Does anyone know how to accomplish this? This process train is for readonly purposes only, no navigation needed.
    Thanks
    Kelly

    Right, I think I've been able to do what you're trying to do.
    I've defined a subclass of ProcessMenuModel, which simply has a currentViewId property and a constructor with an extra argument for it:
    public class SettableProcessMenuModel
      extends ProcessMenuModel
      private String _currentViewId = null;
      public SettableProcessMenuModel(Object instance, String viewIdProperty, Object maxPathKey, String currentViewId) throws IntrospectionException
        super(instance, viewIdProperty, maxPathKey);
        _currentViewId = currentViewId;
      public void setCurrentViewId(String currentViewId)
        this._currentViewId = currentViewId;
      public String getCurrentViewId()
        return _currentViewId;
    }Then in the model adapter I use this class instead of MenuModel, plus a currentViewId property:
    public class TrainModelAdapter implements Serializable {
        private String _propertyName = null;
        private Object _instance = null;
        protected transient MenuModel _model = null;
        private Object _maxPathKey = null;
        private String _currentViewId = null;
        public MenuModel getModel() throws IntrospectionException {
            if (_model == null)
              _model = new SettableProcessMenuModel(getInstance(),  // SettableProcessMenuModel instead of ProcessMenuModel
                                            getViewIdProperty(),
                                            getMaxPathKey(),
                                            getCurrentViewId()); // Extra argument
            return _model;
        public void setCurrentViewId(String currentViewId)
            _currentViewId = currentViewId;
            _model = null;
        public String getCurrentViewId()
          return _currentViewId;
    ...Then when you want to set the current step, you set the currentViewId on the TrainModelAdapter to the viewId you need.
    This basically makes the value you pass in override the currentViewId value in the menu model.
    I hope you are able to use this in your implementation.
