UDF for monitoring Repair cost of fixed assets

Hi All,
Can you guide me how to populate a UDF at Invoice level with information from Fixed Assets (Add-on) Master? I am trying to monitor repair costs for existing fixed assets. My client wants to see how much repair cost has been incurred against a particular fixed asset.
Any suggestions?

Hi Asim,
If you can query Fixed Assets Master directly, yon could create UDF just like other UDF under Marketing Documents Title. A FMS then can be used to get the data from the related table.
Thanks,
Gordon

Debt Extension Cost in Fixed Assets

Hi,
Could someone please explain Debt Extension Cost in Fixed Assets?
thanks.

Hi,
You isolate assets where an amortized adjustment is made by checking fa_transactions_headers where (transaction_subtype = 'AMORTIZED' OR transaction_key = 'UA'). Any asset/book combination that meets that has an amortized adjustment. Since one can't make any expensed adjustments after an amortized adjustment, you don't have to check for a specific transaction. Just check where the condition exists.

Repair costs to fix dent on volume button?

Can anyone give me an idea how much it will cost to repair a dent in the iPad 2 case. Somehow my brand new iPad 2 got dented right on the volume button. I literally got it less than a week ago! Now volume is stuck and volume icon is also stuck in the middle of the screen. I'm sure this won't be covered by warranty.

ErinLouise31 you saved me BIG TIME!!! I let DD (2 1/2 yrs) play with my husband's ipad today while I was cleaning the kitchen. All was good until I heard a loud sound, looked over and saw the ipad on the floor!!! At first I thought all was well until I noticed the dent in the case over the volume button! Worse yet, the volume wouldn't work at all and it was stuck on no volume at all. Called Apple and found out it would cost $249 to replace the ipad - NOT an option since it's less than a year old. I searched online and came across your post & most importantly how you were able to fix it yourself. I was desperate (hubby will be home soon) & just used a tiny screwdriver to jimmy the case and undent it some! It did suffer some very minor scratches but the volume button now works and dent is barely there! Thanks for saving me!!!
Of course I'm still going to tell my husband what happened BUT "I let DD play with your ipad, she dropped it, broke it but I fixed it!" is MUCH better than "I let DD play with your ipad, she dropped it, broke it and it will cost $249 to fix it!"

Depreciation calculation for Indian Tax Depreciation Area - Fixed Assets

Can any one of you kindly advice how to setup the Multi levels methods and Period controls for Tax Depreciation key in Indian Tax Depreciation area.
My Leading ledger Fiscal year: Jan u2013 Dec (Year dependend)
And Non-leading ledger (India) Fiscal year: April u2013 March (Year dependend)
I was able to post correct depreciation for leading and non-leading ledger Depreciation areas with a stated percentage. But the calculation of Tax depreciation area is incorrect.
As per client requirement, Tax depreciation area is setup only reporting purpose and no Depreciation posting.
Required Depreciation Calculation for Tax Depreciation Area:
For Acquires & Additions,
Rule1:
If it is >=180 days (as per Non-leading ledger Fiscal year) the system should calculate depreciation as stated percentage. Eg: 10%
Rule2:
If it is <180 days (as per Non-leading ledger Fiscal year) the system should calculate depreciation of 50% on stated percentage. Eg: Stated percentage is 10%, then it should be 5%.
Early responses will be appreciated.
Thanks much for the help.

Hi JBC,
please search this Forum, I think basic questions about Indian tax depreciation have been asked dozen of times in this Forum here. You should find some answers in earlier threads.

Fixed Asset calculates extra period for Depreciation

Hi All,
I have imported the Fixed Asset for 2007B for the Year 2010. while checking the import, i notice that the system calculates an additional period for depreciation.
Here is my scenario :
a. Asset Cost = 15,863.12 (purchased on 31-May-2007).
b. Useful Life = 36
c. Remaining Life = 4
The above are displayed according to import file.
At the Depreciation Tab, there are 5 rows of planned depreciation calculated. Period 01 to Period 05.
How can the system calculates 5 periods when there is only 4 remaining periods for the asset?
This happens to all the assets being imported.
Please advise.
Jessie

Further information.
The Net Book value = 1762.94
with Accumulated Depreciation = 14100.18.
So the remaining 4 periods should be calculated as = 440.735 (per month for 4 months).
but it is displayed as 352.59 per month for 5 months.
The Fixed Asset is setup as Monthly Basis.
Using Straight Line Mehtod = Net Book Value / remaining life.

Hi,
Actually they are not going to standard reports as Revaluation amount we are creating User defined fields and that needs to be fetched to the report. As well they want original cost, depreciation original cost, Revaluation amount and depreciation on revaluation separately..
As per my understand system will provide one cost and the depreciation on that.
So, can somebody help me in guiding me..
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,

Credit memo for subsequent acquisitions in Fixed Assets

According to the Fixed Asset help file - section Credit memo for Subsequent Acquisitions it Says " Fixed Assets *DOES NOT* allow posting a credit memo for a subsequent acquistion. What are the exactt circumstances in which Fixed Assets will block these credit memos. I have added subsequent Acquisitions and Fixed Assets appears to allow credit memo's where depreaction has not been run and also where depreciation has not been run. How does this blocking mechanism work?

Hi John
It appears that there is no good answer to your question. From my undertstanding, the SAP Fixed Assets add-on is a very basic solution, and does not anticipate many of the changes that can occur once an Asset is acquired. Frankly, it is pretty basic when handling the initial acquisition.
Not that this will help you with this particular install, but the Fixed Assets add-on from B1 Fixed Assets LLC does a very thorough job of creating Assets, where you can use any or all of Invoices, Credit Memos, and Journal Entries, mixing and matching to create the Asset. Once the Asset has be added, making Cost Adjustments is almost as thorough, and provides considerably more options to recognize the Cost Adjustment. You can see a viedo of a relatively simple Asset Acquisition on YouTube (www.youtube.com/b1fixedassets).
Let me know how you get this issue resolved - I am very interested.

How to import Fixed Asset Master File

Hi all expert,
I used BAMasterDataImportFile to import the Fixed Asset. But the message as below appear :
"Import end;Number of successfully imported assets: 0;Number of processed assets:2"
After complete import the fixed asset master files still empty. May i know anybody can advise me for import fixed asset files?
Thank for help.
From:
Eric Tan

Hi Eric,
Please refer your error with the possible reasons below (from SAP notes):
Error message: "Import End; Number of imported assets:0; Number of processed asset:2"
Reason: Note that there is no error. It is usually because of the conflict of Depr. Start Date , Use Life and Remaining Life.
The following is a list of possible errors:
1. Fixed Asset in Production Mode -- Make sure Fixed Asset is in Transfer mode before importing.
2. The number of semicolons for each line is not 66 -- For each line, each field must be separated by a semicolon(, the number of separators( should be 66. Number( = 66.
3. Wrong Date Format DD-MM-YYYY or MM-DD-YYYY -- The correct date formats should be : YYYYMMDD, YYYY-MM-DD, YYYY.MM.DD or YYYY/MM/DD
4. Asset Class unavailable -- The asset class in your csv file does not exist in Fixed Assets; make sure the used asset classes are defined in Fixed Assets before importing.
5. Depr. Type unavailable -- The given depreciation type does not exist in Fixed Assets, make sure the used depreciation type is defined in Fixed Assets before importing.
6. Depr. Area unavailable -- You entered data for a depreciation area that does not exist. If there are only 2 depreciation areas in Fixed Assets do not enter data for area 3 or 4.
7. Depr. Area is inactive for asset class -- You entered data in the csv file for an area that is not active for the given class in Fixed Assets.
8. Life parameter is negative or the remaining life is greater than planned life -- All life parameters should be positive, the remaining life should be less than the planned life
Life Parameters(Depr. Start Date, Useful Life and Remaining Life) are mathematically incorrect for one of the areas in csv. Remaining life = Useful life - (the difference between the first date of import year and depreciation start date). Note that it is not the difference between import date(the date you import Fixed Asset Master Data) and depreciation start date. You must calculate the remaining life correctly. For example, you want to import an asset in 2005, you import it on 2005-09-01 ,then the first date of the import year is 2005-01-01, Depr. Start Date = 2003-06-01, Useful Life = 60 months, then
      Remaining Life = 60 - (2005-01-01 - 2003-06-01) = 60 - 19 = 41 months.
      The following calculation is wrong:
      Remaining Life = 60 - (2005-09-01 - 2003-06-01) = 60 - 27 = 33 months
Import Fixed Asset for the current fiscal year -- The fixed asset master data import function is designed for legacy data importing. We recommend you to import fixed asset master in the past years. If you insist on importing an asset for the current fiscal year, make sure the depreciation start date is the first date of current fiscal year and the Remaining Life is the same as the Useful Life.
Year Values -- the sum of the accumulated depreciation (planned, unplanned and special depreciation) in the csv file is greater than the acquistion and production costs.
Also, don't forget to change the fixed asset mode to transfer. Administration>System initialization>Company Details> Basic initialization tab.
Hope this helps.

Transfer Fixed Assets From Profit Center to Another

Dears,
I have transferred a fixed assets from location to another location. So that, I have to change the profit center for the transferred fixed assets.
I tried to do the following :
AS02 => Time dependent =>More Intervals => Add Intervals .
But the cost center is not able to be changed.
Please help...
Thanks

HI,
To trasfer an asset from one profit center to other profit center, create an asset in receiving profit center and run transaction ABUMN. System will retire asset from sending profit center and the value will be trasferred to receiving profit center.
You can also have second option for this, change cost center of asset by defining the validity for the same.
Hope this would help you.

Pankaj

Usages a fixed assets

Hi
The company has fixed assets and we want to charge the cost of fixed assets usage to a project. What do you recommend us?
Thanks.
Edited by: user1076895 on 21/07/2010 06:22 PM

Well, what version of EBS are you on? I ask because in R12 Oracle has come out with a new module called Oracle Asset Tracking. This new module has some integration to Oracle Projects. We are still on EBS 11i, so have no personal experience with this new module. Since this is a new module, I suspect very few Oracle customers are using it so far. If you are on EBS 12, you might want to investigate this. I certainly will not say this is something that will work for your specific requirements.
For us, it does not help us. Oracle certainly has a deficiency in its ERP software in that it lacks any kind of equipment billing/equipment accounting module. I can tell you what we are doing. Our prior (to Oracle) ERP software had a pretty decent Equipment Billing/Accounting module. Was not perfect, but it worked pretty well. We could charge jobs for rental equipment by the day, week, or month. We could sell our jobs consumable materials through the order processing capability. We went live on Oracle on January 1, 2008 (talk about a painful process). We are still using our old ERP software to do our equipment cost and revenue processing. We extract on a monthly basis (billing done at end of month) the cost and revenue charges for the month into an Excel Spreadsheet and then load that spreadsheet into Oracle, going into expenditure batches. The expenditure type is USG (usage) and we have various non-labor resource values used, depending on the location (we have warehouses/yards in a couple of different U.S. cities).
We are still looking for a replacement for the old ERP software. Any such replacement would be non-Oracle software. So we would still need to interface that software to Oracle Project Costing.
In the old software, the equipment master was separate from the assets master. But certainly for many of the equipment items, they would also be an asset and getting depreciated (for example, a construction crane, that we would rent to jobs, and since own would be an asset that we would depreciate).
Why don't you ask your Oracle sales rep what he would recommend? Would be interesting to see what he tells you.
