Tracking assets in inventory (MMBE)

Hi folks,
Is there some way to simultaneously track a material in inventory (via its serial number) and as a fixed asset for accounting purposes?
The scenario is the following:
1) create purchase orders for materials
2) perform goods receipts in plant/storage location A (serial number recorded for each material)
3) as required by the business,  transfer materials to plant/storage location B  (serial number recorded for each material)
4) At any point in time we must be able to know the quantity and serial numbers of all materials in plant/storage location A, and the quantity and serial numbers of all materials in plant/storage location B
5) At month end these materials should all be treated as fixed assets and have their depreciation calculated and posted
Thanks,
Sebastian

Hi dear,
You first 4 requirements can be met by one of the following methods.
1) Create spearate material type for the asset materials.So that by number range itself u will be able to identify the Assets in vrious plants along with quantity and value.
2) You can make use of material group field in the material master.Maintain the materail group as fixed asset for those material.U can create copy of std report MB52 and bring the material group field in that report thus u will come to know the stock and value of the asset in several plants and at different storage location.
3) You can make use as split valuation.Materials can be matained as an asset material or non asset material.Again in MB52 or MMBE u will get the details.

  • Asset and Inventory accounts

    Experts,
    Is there anyway you can clear these accounts or post to these accounts? - I understand that these are recon accounts and cannot be directly posted to. I am looking for a way to clear these recon accounts like for AR and AP ( Sub Ledger) accounts, we can clear them by vendor/customer # - Is there anyway we can clear these recon accounts i.e for Asset and Inventory. If so, what's the T Code?
    All answers would be duly rewarded with points.
    Thanks,
    Nandita

    Nimit,
    I was just giving an example of how we can clear AR and AP accounts(F-04 or F-44) - AR and AP accounts have nothing to do with Inventory and Asset accounts in our scenario. So is there anyway we can clear Asset and Inventory accounts in SAP ?
    The reason i am saying this is i need to clear the balance of all accounts in a Co Cd using a clearing account - When i am saying all accounts, i am talking about all accounts including sub ledger accounts - AP, AR, Inventory and Sub Ledger.
    AP and AR - i can take care of this by using vendor and customer number, as i cannot clear them by their accounts... However how do i do it for asset and inventory accounts ? Is there a way and if so how - tcode?
    Thanks,

  • Include asset in inventory list - asset master record

    Hi
    What is the importance of "include asset in inventory list" in asset master record.
    Thanks in advance
    prasad

    Hi Hariprasad,
                In industries it is a practice to physically count the assets and keep a record of it as a part of maintenance and it is also a statutory requirement in certain countries. In order to count the assets and cross check with the assets recorded in the system, SAP provides a report for listing the assets. The list is based on plant and cost center. In a real-life situation practice, you would then distribute this list to the persons who are conducting the actual physical inventory.
    The path for this report is as follows:
    <i><b>On the Application Tree Report Selection Assets Management screen, select the following in the report tree: Asset portfolio --> Inventory lists -->Inventory list</b></i>
    <b>Only if the Include asset in inventory list in the asset master record is ticked you can get the output as a part of this list.</b> So if you want to count and verify this asset physically check this box.

  • Transfer capitalised Assets to Inventory items

    Hi,
    There is a Material which is procured as ASSET & has been capitalised & available in books as ASSET. Now, there is a requirement to transfer this ASSET in value & quantity from Books of assets to Inventory. The transfer may be in parts also. Can anyone suggest the way to go about. Thanks.
    Regards,
    JND

    Hi
    Use 242 movement type to convert asset into Inventory... This is the Standard approach... I dont think you need to separately scrap it.. Also, I dont think you can do 242 for partial value of the asset..
    Another option is to do ABSO with 101 trans type and reduce the asset partially to a cost center and do a 202 movement type to generate inventory.. however, this would generate inventory at the material master price...

  • Captialized material to be tracked back as inventory

    Scenario:-The scenario is of telecom client where handset is given to client as Part of his procuring a connection from my client.
    So the moment the connection is activacted the handset is capitalised.
    But later on when customer gets its connection disconnected than he rturn the handset as its my clients asset.( by this time as the phoen is now no longer an inventory as its an asset.( in my client all the connection sold for a month is made one asset for the month)
    Now how to handle the retunrprocess  of t handset from customer who is rturning the handset( which is already cpatiased)
    so that my invnetory moving avergae price also should no get impacted .
    These materials are required to be tracked in inventory as thiese handset will be again given to new customer who procures the connection from my client.
    .Regards

    Hi Amit,
    I think that you can assign a headset to a Material Type which handles Quantity and not price (Example: Material Type: UNBW) I have done this for an Oil company to keep track of valuable assets!.
    This will force you to assign an "Account assignment" when you procure it (Asset), it will enter in the stock, but it will not be valuated when you move it.
    Once you have it on you stock you can sent that stock to consignment (And assign it to a Client) so you will be able to know in which customers you have your headsets and the quantity.
    When you write off the asset (For whichever reason) you can consume the material with 201 or any other movement (As it does not handle value no accounting will take place)
    You can combine this with Serial Number o Batch managemente if you want to keep track with precision which headeset is at client house!.
    Kind regards,
    Federico

  • Track Asset Usage by Projects

    We need to track our Fixed Asset usage and profitability. We are a Project centric organisation and need to track which assets are being used by which projects and allocate the asset and it's maintenance cost to projects. We then have to review the utilisation/profitability of this asset by comparing the cost to the revenue generated by it. We use Oracle Projects, Accounts Payables and Fixed Assets modules. Can we achieve this using the current modules. Is there a specific module in Oracle EBS which performs this function.

    Under system information there is usually some sort of computer id or name but even if I could record user name of the person that loged in that would work to. I don't need to know for sure who did or didn't open it, just a general idea of where it has been.

  • Asset Intelligence, Inventoried Software is empty

    Hi!
    I've been spending the whole day trying to find a solution to this problem.
    We have been three people looking at it, verifying every single setting there is, but "Inventoried Software" is still empty.
    The classes have been marked and the clients inventory every single application.
    If I run Asset Intelligence reports I get all the data, so it is inventoried. For example the report to list inventoried softwares that falls under a specific category.
    The server is running CM12 R2 with CU1, but I get the same problem in my own lab that runs R2 with CU3.
    I've checked every log I can find and they are looking okay, no errors, nothing.
    Does someone have an answer to this?
    Best regards

    Thanks for the help all! It took something neither of us had, patience!!
    Today the applications has started to roll in and all is well. I've added this feature many times before, but it has never taken this long for the list to populate... It came to mind that this is the first time I've done it on the R2 version, could it be
    that this is the reason it takes so long?

  • AS02 - find asset by inventory number

    When you run transaction AS02 and dropdown on asset number, you are given the option to select by inventory number.  It doesn't appear to always work.  Sometimes we enter an inventory number that we know exists on an asset, and we get all assets returned back.  What could be causing this?

  • Deeper into the rabbit hole: DVDSP confuses tracks & assets

    OK - this applies to two other postings that seek solutions to symptoms of what I think is the real problem: DVDSP is seeing three separate video assets as the same asset.
    original posting: "DVDSP SUBSTUTUTE VIDEO PLAY FOR PROGRAMMED JUMP BACK"
    bare with:
    1st symptom: Programed play of video track A also played video track D when A was compete. This happened for two of fifteen buttons (spread over five menus).
    2nd symptom: Video for the three buttons in question no longer was visible in the button or in the button editor.
    third symptom: I decided to delete the asset in quesiton. When I went to delete asset D DVDSP told me it was: "IN USE: video A (Track)& Video E (Track)
    So it would seem dvdsp thinks Track D is Track A & track B.?

    I removed the 24GB SSD and just re-did the restore, without restoring the MBR and disk0 from the backup. The computer now boots on the new SSD! However, to do so, I have to have UEFI (and Secure Boot) disabled, so I'm on Legacy Support in BIOS. Is this bad? Is there a way to turn UEFI back on?

  • Interface with the Asset & Inventory Barcode Scanners

    Hi All,
    I need some help regarding the integration/interface of barcode scanners with the Assets and Inventory system and it would be greatful if someone can help me out with the possible solution.
    The background and my questions are as follows -
    On my current project, the Client Asset department uses the barcode scanners (Company - M3 Mobile - MC-7500S) with the legacy system. The barcode scanners generates the excel file and they upload the file in the legacy system, which updates the location and tracking specific data in the system. They also use these the scanners for the good receipt and stocktake of inventory and assets too.
    My questions are as follows -
    1. How can we interface them with the ECC 6.0 system?
    2. What will be the process?
    3. Can we update the asset and inventory data into the SAP system?
    Thanks in advance
    Regards
    Manoj Kaushik

    Not sure if this helps, but our company requires batch uploads - not wireless. Several years ago we developed idocs to handle the transfer of data from a scanner to SAP. This process is still in use today in ECC 6.0. The data passed is Inventory Date, Bar Code, Room, & Location, which is updated on the asset record.
