Asset Settlement You cannot use this transaction type to post to this asset

Hi All,
A CAPEX is created. An Asset is created. The asset is assigned to CAPEX under settlement rule. Out of several purchases made against the CAPEX, settlement for 2 months are carried out and the value of CAPEX was transferred to Asset.
However, during the current month, while doing the settlement, the system is giving the following error :-
"You cannot use this transaction type to post to this asset"
Message no. AA 834
The details diagnosis of the error message is
"The transaction type entered belomgs to transaction type group 15. It has been specified for this transaction type group, that it is only allowed to post to asset classes for which it has been explicitly allowed (for example, the asset class for assets under construction). The asset to which you are posting belongs to class PM-501 (chart of depreciation DEIL). You cannot post to this asset class using the transaction type entered"
Request to please let me know what could be the possible reasons for system giving such message adn how to rectify it.
Regards
Santosh

Hi Santosh,
I would suggest that you Check the <b>asset number</b> you entered. You may want to allow posting to this asset class using this transaction type group. If this is not the case, then, you may have to ask the business to reverse the initial posting causing this error and re-post with the correct transaction type that is allowed for this asset class.
I hope the above helps.
Do not forget to award the points please.

AIAB Distribution Rule for Settlement Error, "Asset cannot settle to itself"

Hello Everyone,
I have a customer who is getting the "asset cannot settle to itself" error when trying to set up a distribution rule to settle the remaining items of a Line Item Managed AUC to multiple Assets. The Asset numbers and AUC number do NOT match. Here are the steps that have been followed.
Created an Internal Order, #2000####. (1998)
Created the AuC asset. #600####(2011)
Created Settlement Rule (Sender – Internal Order, Receiver - AUC) (2011
Settle Internal Order to AUC.
Create Assets. (2014). #900###1 - #900##99 etc.
Create Settlement Rule (Sender – AUC, Receiver – Multiple Assets) This is where my customer gets the error.
They were able to settle other items from this AuC to Assets last October. It seems very strange to me that the Internal Order was created in 1998 and the AUC was created in 2011 but as I said, this was working at least last October and possibly in March of this year.
Thanks for you help.

Hello Stacy,
Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner but I just had a major implementation go live on the 2nd so I've been rather busy. I opened a ticket with SAP on this and this is what was found.
Joachim from SAP Support explained that the AUC had been settled to itself last year, that is the posting the program was throwing the error on. My assumption is that we were able to settle AUC's to themselves prior to our March upgrade. This explains the problem and we have a resolution. We are transferring AUCs that this has happened with to a new AUC and then settling the new AUC as usual.
I believe SAP fixed a bug that had previously allowed AUC's to settle to themselves in one of the updates but because this AUC had a record from the past where it settled to itself the program was validating old line items and that is why it throws the error.
Ramnik's suggestion was another option but we didn't want to change the message to a warning because we didn't want anyone to settle an asset to itself.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Rick

Settlement of WBS to Asset

Hi,
The issue is as follows:
User has capitalized an expense which was earlier been booked under WBS in March 2007.
On 13.12.2007, they have received a credit note & booked under relevant WBS but not yet settled to asset, so there is a balance lying in AUC account on 31.12.2007 till now, now user wants to settle those WBS over asset.
Note:1. Fiscal year 2007 (Jan to Dec) & 2008 has already been closed & dep. has been posted accordingly.
2. We are on SAP 4.6C version & IM module has been implemented here
Now I am running CJ88 transaction in 2009 for period 11 to settle this WBS to asset but getting the following error:
"Transaction in area 01 contradicts the net book value rule
Message no. AA 660
Diagnosis
The document cannot be posted, as it is contrary to the net book value rule which is checked in area 01.
Procedure
This error usually occurs when you enter proportional values. The proportional values exceed the amount posted, for example, post capitalization of 100 but proportional depreciation to the amount 110. Check your entries and correct them if necessary."
Can anybody suggest me about feasible steps for solving this issue.
Thanks & Regards
Anuj Agarwal

When you search on this forum try to put Date range "ALL" to get more results. Please read below threads and you will get the solution.
MIRO:Transaction in area 15 contradicts the net book value rule
Transaction in area 01 contradicts the NBV
Looks like you have a negative balance in your WBS which you are trying to settle to FA.

When you have an investment order/WBS create from there the AUC. You collect the cost on the AUC. Final you fill in the settlement rule the final asset in (from a normal asset class) and then you transfer the costs to the final asset.
In the IO or WBS should be assigened a investment profile and the asset class AUC should be set-up correct

Avoid Depreciation for particular asset

Sir ,
Is there any possibility to avoid to run depreciation for particular or specified assets.
Tamil Selvan.

Hi
Select the check box of Asset Shut Down in Time dependent tab in Asset Master.
Asset shutdown
Set this indicator if you want to shut down the asset for the displayed period of time.No depreciation will be calculated for assets that have been shut down when you use an appropriate depreciation key.
Or Select Dactivation date in General Tab in Asset Master
Deactivation date
The system enters the asset value date of the retirement posting for a full retirement in this field.Once an asset has been deactivated, you can no longer post to the asset (with one exception: posting a reversal of the last retirement). In order for you to be able to make correction postings after an asset has been deactivated, you can also manually change the deactivation date in the asset master record
Thanks

Exchange rate diff amount posted to AUC asset

Hello All,
I am stuck with one issue and looking for some help
We are creating purchase order with account assignment as projects and then doing MIGO & MIRO and then settling through CJ88 to AUC asset.
The issue is related to exchange rate difference amount posted to AUC asset.
MIGO and MIRO are done on different dates and the difference amount in exchange rate posted to GL account maintained in KDM.
Now, when i settle the WBS element through CJ88 the AUC asset is posted with amount including the exchange rate difference amount.
Business do not want the exchange rate amount added to the AUC asset.
please confirm is this the system standard behavior .
Your inputs appreciated.
Thanks
Shashi

Hi Shashi,
As per Accounting Standards, the asset must be valued on the exchange rate on the date which risk and reward is transferred from seller to buyer.
For example If the vendor despatch the assets on 01.03.2014 at his place and contract is Exworks then the asset must be valued on exchange rate on 01.03.2014. Lets assume exchange rate on that day is 1USD=60INR. The price is 100 USD. You receive the assets on 10.03.2014 and exchage rate on that day is 55 INR. Now if you make GR on 10.03.2014 Asset value will be 5500 INR whereas as per AS it should be 6000 INR. That is why when you do MIRO the differnce between 6000 and 5500 is posted to asset.
When you do MIRO you must enter currency(USD) in Basic data tab and exchange rate 60 in details tab.
What happens in your system is standard behavior of SAP as well as correct process as per Accounting Standards.
Hope it is clear.

Downpayment to Assets

Hi,
I would like to make downpayment to assets without any postings made to the assets.
I found the following thread: Re: Asset Downpayment
And it works as mentioned when I made the payment using F-48. No postings to the asset is made.
However, if I use F110 to make the payment, system prompts for the downpayment to asset GL accounts to be set up. If I set them up, postings would automatically be made to the assets when payment is done.
Is this a standard feature? Can F110 works similarly to F-48?
Thanks.

Thanks for the advice.
The message I received in F110 is "You cannot use this transaction type to post to this asset".
Message No:
AA834
Diagnosis:
The transaction type entered belongs to transaction type group 15. According to the specifications for this transaction type group, posting with transaction types belonging to this group are only allowed in specific asset classes (for example, asset classes for assets under construction).
The asset to which you are postings belongs to class 61000 (chart of depreciation XXX). You cannot post to this class using the transaction type you have entered.
Then I went ahead to add asset class 61000 to transaction type group 15 (downpayment) and try again.
F110 then gives me "No account has been entered for posting down payments in area 01 under the account assignment key.."
So I went ahead and maintain the GL accounts for downpayment to assets.
But that's not what I want.

Can we block negative value posting to final asset

Dear SAP gurus,
We are settling the cost from WBSE to AUC & from AUC to Final asset.
We want to allow the negative postings in AUC. For final asset for time being we want to block the negative posting.
Can anybody tell me the procedure for disallowing the negative posting in final asset for temporary purpose.
Thanks & regards,
Pradip

You can do this setting at the asset class level in t code OAYZ...drill down on the asset class and uncheck the negative values allowed.
But this is not recommended for AUC as there isa possibility of credits to the asset.
if its temporary you can also do it on the asset master by double clicking on the depreciaiton area

Where we have to open and close posting periods in asset accounting

hi sap gurus
can anybody give where we have to open and close posting periods in asset accounting
thank you
venkatareddy

Hi Venkatareddy,
You make specifications for fiscal years and posting periods in the SAP R/3 System in Customizing for Financial Accounting. This is done in the fiscal year variant in the global parameters of the company code. These settings are, in general, also binding for Asset Accounting. The depreciation periods in Asset Accounting then correspond to the posting periods in Financial Accounting.<b> It is usually not necessary to create a separate fiscal year variant for Asset Accounting.</b>
The period control in the depreciation key determines the start and end of depreciation when asset transactions are posted . The period control determines the relationship between the calendar period in which the asset transaction is posted and the depreciation period.
These calendar periods are independent of the posting periods in Financial Accounting. The only restriction is that the beginning of the first calendar period and the end of the last calendar period defined in a period control have to match the start date and final date of the fiscal year in Financial Accounting.
Kindly let me know if this useful for you

Asset PO Price Variance posting w/out asset account assignmt to wrong acct

We're bringing up fixed assets and are struggling with the account assignment behind PO Invoice receipt (MIRO) and price differences. At the moment, the PO is A account assigned and has the standard SAP settings except that the GR is valuated and the account assignment indicator is single instead of multiple. When we process MIRO, if there's a price difference, it hits the table 30 account assignment for the DIF trxn key.
We have 2 issues.
1. The account behind DIF is used for normal merchandise purchasing which isn't account assigned and doesn't reflect the GL account for the asset class.
2. The asset number is not being passed to the price variance posting (this could be a result of the GL account config since our normal merchandise purchasing doesn't carry a WBS).
We have an additional wrinkle in that we do a shadow posting to a WBS element as well as the asset number in MIRO. It seems to work fine so long as we don't have a price variance.
From reading documentation, it appears the price variance should be posting to the asset so we appear to have mis-configured something. I'm hoping it's not the valuated GR as we have a business requirement to show the value of the item when we receive it. In any case, we can't figure out what we're missing. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
thanks for your time and help.

Settlement of WBS to the Fixed Asset in another company code

Hi Friends,
I have another problem with WBS elements and fixed assets.
I used WBS elements to create a AUC by AUC settlement in company code A. Then I put a second settlement rule with settlement type "FUL" in WBS element and settle AUC to a depreciable asset in company code A. Then I transfer the depreciable asset from company code A to company code B. Now I put the current month as the end day of the second settlement rule and add a third settlement rule in WBS element in compnay code A. The third settlement rule will settle to the depreciable asset in company B. When I am adding the third settlement rule, the system gives an error: "Asset XXXX not in company code A" .
Then I add another WBS element in company code A and put a settlement rule which settle to the depreciable asset in company code B. The system did not issue any error. Everything works fine.
So it seems the WBS element cannot settle to the asset in the other company code if it created a AUC in its own company code.
People told me that it worked in their legacy SAP system. So I am wondering whether there is some settings that I did not do, which caused this problem.
Do you have any idea about this?
Thanks,
Ting

in the requesting company codeon the wbs master data enter the company code for which the AuC and the fixed asset will be created
in this way you can settle from a project in one company code to an asset in another company code
