Synchronization of Asset master records and Equipment Number

Dear friends,
We are facing problem with the Equipment number that automatically gets generated during the Asset creation.
We used Internal number range for Equipments which is similar to Asset numbers and whenever an Asset created automatically Equipment get created with same number as the number ranges we maintained are same.
Recently we implemented Sub-Asset process and After implementing Sub-asset concept in to our Asset accounting the synchronization is not happening.
Can some one tell how I can come over this issue.
Ex:      Asset 12045          Equipment Number 12045
     Asset 12046          Equipment Number 12046
     Asset 12045-1          Equipment Number 12047
How can I address this?
Should I go for External number range ? if Yes, then how can I do after so many Equipments got created with Internal number range.
Thanks,
KK

Hi KK
There is no sub number range in equipment as we have for assets. So you will not match the number range beween assets and equipments records whenever you go for sub assets.
We have this scenario and we are not matching the asset number to equipment records.
If you still want to have the same numbers, then you can go for external number range as proposed by you.
thanks

How to change cost center in Asset Master record ?

Hi SAP Gurus,
My client is asking me to change cost centers in Asset Master records using LSMW. Currently, the field cost center is in display mode. In order to change the cost center, the field cost center must be in change mode while recording in LSMW. I have changed screen layout rule for Asset Master data. I have selected radio button "Optional" for cost center in screen layout for Asset Master data. But still cost center field is in display mode in Asset Master record. It must be changeable.
Please suggest me how I can resolve the issue.
Regards,
K.S.K

Hi Saravana,
We can change the cost center for AuC Investment measure at WBS element level. For that purpose we need to go to AuC Investment measure Asset master record and check WBS element under Origin Tab. Double click on WBSE and then check the cost center under Assignment tab. And also check the cost center in Asset master record for the same. Now you can go to T.Code CJ12 (Change WBS Element) and change the cost center for the same. Once you make changes system automatically change the cost center in asset master record for the same.
Note: - Now you have to identify all the AuC Investment measure Assets and the WBS Element for the same. Then change the cost center in WBS Element record. And the corresponding changes will be done in relevant Asset master record automatically.
But before making the change please check with the PS/PM consultant regarding changes in WBS element. Means where it will effect?

EQUIPMENT ASSIGNMENT TO ASSET MASTER RECORD

Hi All:
I am trying to assign the Equipment Number in the Asset Master Record but am not able to do so. Is it even possible, has anyone had any success with the configurations and can share them with me?
I know that I can create the Equipment Number automatically when creating the Asset Master but what I need to do is to assign an existing Equipment Number to an existing or new Asset Master & the asset number will be reflected on the Equipment Master.
Thanks and Regards
Hisham

What is the problem now? Aren't you able to assign the Equipment number in the Asset master data?
What is the error message?
Well, just try this and see whether it works for you or not.

Equipment master record updation in Asset master record

Dear Friends,
I have a query with regard to Equipment master record updation in asset master record. Here we have created equipment in Plant maintenance module and we have created asset in AS01 tcode. When we give the asset number to PM module guys, they can easily update the asset number in their equipment master by changing the equipment master record.
But when we enter the same in asset master record in 3rd tab allocations tab, initially it is accepting the equipment details like equipment number, category, object and tech description, but the same is not available after saving.
Please let me know whether I have to do any customization in asset settings inorder to get the equipment number populated in asset master record.
Thanks,
Dwarak.

Hi,
Thanks a lot for your reply.
I did both these customization, but still it is not working. Any other customization to be done? Please let me know.
And also in asset master record in allocations tab, do we need to select sync and workflow checkbox?
Thanks
Dwarak.

Update asset master record serial number (ANLA-SERNR) when doing GR

Hi gurus,
The client has a requirement to update the serial# on an asset master record when the user process goods receipt through MIGO. I've looked at the functional side to find a solution for this but I have not found any. Is there a BADI or another functionality that we can use to update the serial# on an asset master record upon GR?
Thanks

Hi,
Check whether the asset class is locked in for your depreciation area in T Code AM05. If so, remove the lock.

Group box in asset master record's tab overlap each other

Hi Gurus,
I was wondering anyone has seen the same issue that I'm experiencing. I'm on EHP6 and have logged the issue with SAP but wondering if you've faced the same problem.
I basically designed a new tab layout with 2 tabs and assigned the following group box to the 1st tab
S0001     General
S0003     Time-Dependent Data
S0002     Posting Information
S0013     Equipment
to the 2nd tab I only assigned
S0009     Origin
S0100     Depreciation Areas
Then I assigned the new tab to the asset class.
Now when I create the asset through AS01, the tab and group boxes appear however the time-dependent group box overlaps with posting information (please see below). Have you experienced the same issue in your environment?
Thank you.

Dear Minab,
This is definitively the problem of overlapping of the layouts.
The asset master data transactions AS01, AS02 and AS03 uses a generic tool to define the screen layout. Unfortunately there are some restrictions on that tool which are based on basis functionality.
The problem is caused by compression and resizing (note 203023)
Since Release Enterprise there are more fields on that screen in Release Enterprise than before.
Hence, the problem is caused by the definition of your asset layout the solution in your case could be to move the screen to an own subscreen or to move this screen to the end of the tab.
Please go the customizing (transaction SPRO) and follow these steps:
   Financial Accounting -> Asset Accounting -> Master Data -> Screen
   Layout -> Specify Tab Layout for Asset Master Record -> Define Tab
   Layout for Asset Master Data
Select in your layout the relevant tab page.
Here you may need to change positions and group boxes around. Unfortunately there's no other solution possible due to technical restrictions.
best regards Bernhard

Low Value Assets master records

I need to have a solution for my issue.
We want to manage certain assets which are having minor value and the same needs to be depreciated in the same year.
For this purpose, I am thinking about the Low Value Assets functionality. When I go through the help, I find that :
"In contrast to fixed assets of greater value, low value assets (LVAs) are completely depreciated in the year in which they are acquired. Therefore, you do not usually need an individual assessment of their values. Since they individually have little value, they are often managed collectively as a single asset master record.."
It says we need to have only one single asset master record. My doubt is then how we can represent different assets ? viz. I have one calculator, briefcase, mobile phone, buzzer clock, paper cutter, etc. How can I represent each of these in the Low Value Asset single master record ?

Hey,
Most of the companies create separate assets for LVA. When help says create one asset, they keep in mind that we
want to 100% complaint and have all assets in SAP and so we create assets for value at even min. In countires like US
any amount less than $500 can be writen-off. Large number of assets mean high performance. Hence they say one asset for LVA. You can ignore this statement at help and create separate assets for LVA.
Hope this helps you.

Error in Asset Master record creation

I have created one asset class 1001 for land and 3001 for Vehicles by myself (i.e. without reference)
I have filled all account determination, screenlayout, etc.
When i create asset master record for LAND, i enter asset class 1001 (for land) & it accepts.
But when i create asset master record for Vehicle, i enter asset class 3001 (for vehicle). But it throws error.
Error shown is:
Chart of depreciation IN00 that was determined is not entered for asset class 3001.
_How to rectify the problem ?_
Help with Tcode or menu path.
Further to rectify,
I am trying to Specify Chart-of-Dep.-Dependent Screen Layout/Acct Assignment (Tcode: ANK1)
But error shown is:
Chart-of-depreciation-dependent assignment to asset class not possible
(Message no. AC012)

I am trying to Specify Chart-of-Dep.-Dependent Screen Layout/Acct Assignment (Tcode: ANK1)
But error shown is:
Chart-of-depreciation-dependent assignment to asset class not possible
(Message no. AC012)
Solution given is:
In order to be able to assign chart-of-depreciation-dependent data to asset class 1001, the following conditions have to be met. You have to have already
1. Defined at least two active charts of depreciation
2. Assigned asset class 1001 to more than one chart of depreciation
However, at the moment this asset class is only assigned to chart of depreciation 1.
I m unable to understand the solution

Insurance view disappear in Asset Master record

Hello,
I can not see The insurance View while creating/changing or displaying Asset master record.
What can be the resons ?
I checked the customizing (Define Screen Layout for Asset Master Data) but the insurance view are alreeady defined as " Optional ".
What can i check also ?
Thanks

Dear,
Tarek.
Please go to T.code ANSICHT and look for the respective that No Authorization Radio Button is not selected. I think this may be the problem in your case, it is selected. I hope this helps you.
ANSICHT manages the asset views with the option of Master Data & Depreciation Areas.
If you need any clarification. Please revert back. I hope this may solve your problem.

Screen Layout Field in the Asset Master Record

What is the use of the screen in the asset master record, ANLA-FELEI?
We have some assets where there are different values between this screen layout and the screen layout defined at the asset class (i.e. through configuration).
It seems the one defined within the asset class takes precedence.

HI
Scree Layout controls the diplay of fields, it may not be necessary for a user to use all the fileds provided by SAP. Hence the options like Required, Optional and Suppress are used to control the screen diplay and the TABs to be displayed based on the need.
Asses within the same class will have same fields since the screen layout are assigned to an Asset class.
Scree layout for the Tab Depreciation Area can also be controlled with the screen layout defied for the Depreciation Area. With this one can have different screen layouts per dep. area.
Hope i'm clear to you.
Thanks,
Vijay

Trouble with updates of Asset Master Record via BAPI_FIXEDASSET_CHANGE

Good day,
I'm using functional module BAPI_FIXEDASSET_CHANGE in order to update time dependent data in Assets Master Record. Although I'm updating only time dependent data and net worth valuation, some other fields are being changed too - country dependent fields for example. Could you be of any assistance to me and tell me if there's a customization for updating of these data, because I think there is one.
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
yes, the main functionality within the BAPI is done in function ASSET_MASTERRECORD_MAINTENANCE. If it really does not happen in AS02 but only with the BAPI I think you could open a service ticket to SAP.

Markus
