When to Execute ABST2 program for Fixed Assets?

Hi,
Do we need to execute ABST2 program extractly at the end of the year 31/12/2008 or we can also execute after 31/12/2008?Because for my client-they have executed that program in July-2009.Now it is showing 0.01 differance for one of the depreciation account.the differance amount is showing for 2009 year.I am confused whether it is for 2008 or 2009.
Now in ABST2 program it is showing the 0.01 differance for 2009.Still can i ignore ABST2 error and can i proceed to close 2008 year for fixed assets? or it will give any error?
Kindlyl help me
Thanks
Suvarna

HI,
Generally it is executed before year-end closing. It picks up the asset balances and matches with the GL A/c balances. If any differences are found it shows the differences.
Run it and check in which year the difference popped up. Then verify balances for that particular year. If it started in 2008 you can check only 2008 balances and need not check for 2009.
Thanks,
Giridhar

Error when closing fiscal year 2010 for fixed assets

I was performing year end close for asset management using TCode AJAB and received an error that one asset has not completed posting depreciation for 2010.
When I looked at the asset that was causing the error I noticed there is still remaining "planned" depreciation for the year 2010. Apparently, there was some subsequent cost added to this asset after December 2010 depreciation was posted.
Can I process depreciation again for December for this one asset? If so, what Tcode would I use?

Hi
You have to execute repeat run in AFAB for DEC 2010 and then try to close using AJAB.

FAGL_FC_TRANS for Fixed Assets

SAP experts,
We are doing FC Valuation and translation for a foreign subsidiaries to report US GAAP . ( FAGL_FC_VAL for FC valuation followed by FAGL_FC_TRANS for Translating the group currency with spot/avg raye for BS and PL respectively). Confiured BS adjustment account for translation and the translation difference posted at Month end ( BS adjustment acccount) at month end and reverse it on 1st day of next period. No update on individual accounts.
The FASB docs explains that FASB amount is to strip off the EX rate influence on the BS numbers of Foreign subsidiaries. ( Group currency amount of Foreign Subsidiary in SAP)
Gone thru SDN and came to know the treatment to be given to Fixed assets. Looks like it need not be valuated as it sits on Balance sheet long time. It is not clear . In simple terms do we have to include Fixed assets and accumilated depreciation in FAGL_FC_TRANS or not?
Answer is yes for Translation the what rate . How do I derive the correct historical rate as the assets are carried over a long period when we do not update the assets Group currency amount.
Do we do the translation for all P&L accounts also?
Appreciate early replies.
Regards

Please see my responses below.
1. For all BS accounts using Spot rate - yes, the rate on the last day of the month.
2. For Fixed assets account different rate - same rate applied to all balance sheet accounts
3. For PL balances separately after ticking the P&L accounts - yes, but this is at the average rate for the month
4. Do we have to check (tick mark) the u2018valuate period balance only u2018 on the screen for PL? YES
Is the fixed assets GL accounts are to be treated in a different way unlike other BS accounts? - I don't see any reason why they should be handled differently.
The Fixed assets are to be re measured with different ex rate ie Historical rate? - No. It is the equity that you want to keep at historical rate.
How do I get historical rate? - The historical rate is on the individual postings on the account. You don't need to get the historical rate from anywhere, as you just leave the historical rate on equity account postings, by excluding these accounts from the selection screen of your Balance Sheet translation variant.
Make sure that for BS translation, you also reverse the translation program entries on the first day of next month. You don't need to do this for PL translation, as you are translating period balance only.
What steps to be followed to complete the FASB52 and how to reconcile with manual. - All of the above conform with FAS 52 rule. What do you have in your manual record? I would eliminate the need for any reconciliation once you are in SAP. A spot check in your testing cycles should do!

Calculate Depreciation Forecast for Fixed asset

Dear all expert,
I'm new to ASO, would like to know if there's a way to do depreciation forcast for fixed asset in Essbase.
1. Database type is ASO
2. Assuming user will prepare forecast caplitialization of fixed asset then upload to Essbase
3. Attribute dimension "Useful life" has been defined and attached to specific "Accounts" dimension for calcluation
4. Need to calculate the forecast and spread of depreciation for future months
E.g. Input 32000 USD for a fixed asset cost with 32 months useful life
-> should calculate 1000 each month for the coming 32 months
Can any expert suggest how to do this in ASO? meaning only can do calculation in member formula itself, not calculation script.
Thanks for your help in advance,
Billy

I haven't used the feature, but the reference to 'local script_file' in the MaxL railroad diagram for the 'execute calculation' command suggests the location is relative to the client, if the semantics are consistent with the 'export data' command (the options for report scripts there are 'server' or 'local', although according to the railroad diagram there is no non-local alternative in this case!).
There is a worked example in a Rittman Mead blog post about this that might help: http://www.rittmanmead.com/2010/04/oracle-epm-11-1-2-essbase-calculations-on-aso-cubes-part-2-maxl-scripts-and-eas/
The DBAG also says that the script files should have suffix .csc, while the Tech Ref example has suffix .txt - helpful!! If they were actually meant to sit in the server's db directory, I would be surprised to find the .csc suffix used, since that is also the suffix for aggregation scripts. Although me being surprised doesn't mean much.

Lsmw for fixed asset

Hi All,
I am uploading data for fixed assets using LSMW with bapi -
business object - BUS1022
Method - FIXEDASSET_CREATEINCLVALUES
Message Type - FIXEDASSET_CREATEINCLVALUES02
According to project settings group asset and group asset subnumber are mandatory fields for depreciation area 15. When i am running the lsmw i am getting the error
"DEPRECIATIONAREAS-GRP_ASSET ("Group asset") is a required entry field in depreciation area 15. The field was not supplied with data when the BAPI was called."
Please help me how to solve the problem...
I am copying the lsmw for which group asset and group asset sub number were not included and i am adding those two fields in my lsmw and i am not able to upload the data because of the error. Previously these two fields were not mandatory and LSMW was working fine.
Thanks,

Year end closing for fixed asset

Hi,
Currently we run the process AJAB to close the year for fixed assets at the end of the year and can close two years back. So in September 07 I would have closed 2006, then run AJRW to open 2008.
So it is my understanding that we can only have two years open and we have in the past had the current year and one year back. Do you know why we do this, why dont we have the current year and one year forward?
There has been a request to close 2007 for fixed assets, if I do this, will this cause any problems?
With regards,
Sree

If u close the 2007 there is no problem, useally everbudy maintain one previous year and one current year, basic reason is if the any capitilization is to be made with back date u can able to do. If that is not there in your case u can close but if you open the future year after that you can not reset/reopen the 2007.
If you open 2009 also there is no use, because with future date no budy do the capitalisation.
advantage of opening of 2009 only one advantage is u can able to see the depreciation simulation will be taken period wise.
disadvantage of opening of 2009 you can't open 2007 if you post any entries with back date.
assign points if its helpful.

Data source for fixed assets

Hello All,
I would like to know what is the new version of data source for fixed assets. I believe it is 0FI_AA_20. But, this data sources has less number of fields compared to the old version data sources viz. 0FI_AA_11.
Which data source is presently being used widely. Is IT 0FI_AA_20 or is it 0FI_AA_11. If so, for what reason?
In case you are using old version data source viz. 0FI_AA_11, how did you justify to the client that 0FI_AA_11 is the appropriate data source.
Regards.
Shanker Ramabhotla

Hi Lokesh,
Thanks for your reply.
We have already implemented the notes in our development vut it did not help. It looks like we have a problem with the extractor checker too. I ran the extractor checker today but the total record count is exceeding the records in there.
If anyone has faced a similar situation with this particular data source, then please provide me valuable inputs.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Vinay

How to define Approval Hirearchy for Fixed Assets?

Hello All,
Couls someone please tell me How to define Approval Hirearchy for Fixed Assets which should be different as compared to normal item purchase.Reply me ASAP
Regards
Aditya

Hi,
The AP invoice approval used AME rules for finding the approver. You can base you AME rules on virutally anything.
In this particular case, you can base your AME rules on one of the followings:
1. If any of the Distribution Accounts contain Fixed Assets natural account
2. You can define a separate document category which should be used with invoices for FA Purchase and use the category in AME rules to find approver
3. You can have a DFF at the Invoice Header level to indicate that this is a fixed asset purchase invoice and have this DFF to be used in AME rules.

Description for fixed assets in english & chinese language

Hi
Our chinese client wants to maintain description for fixed assets in chinese language along with English
Can any one let me know how to do this??
Regards, Ajay

Hi Ajay,
You have only the text fields and there is no options to have more languages.
But you have 3 text fields from 50 long.
Use line 1 for Englisch and line 2 or 3 for Chinese, in the most report the text from line 3 is printed, but you can create more line variants.

XL Reporter for fixed assets

Hello,
I need to create three reports for the Fixed Assets module.
Can I user XL Reporter or what should I use?
Thank you,
Irina

Hi Irina,
I've never seen documentation on the table structure for Fixed Assets so you might have to do your own detective work to establish the tables you need. The tables will all have the same prefix. You should see the title of each table listed under Tools--User Tables which will give you an idea of what type of data is stored in each table. After that, it's going to be a case of using System Information, Enterprise Manager and SQL Profiler, where appropriate, to understand how the data is stored.
Kind Regards,
Owen

Demo for Fixed asset

Hi All,
Would there be a demo database which has fixed asset configured. I am trying to get me head around the configuration. I think i can work backwords using a demo database.
Regards,
Divam

Hi Divam,
I don't think there is a Demo for Fixed asset since it is not a default configuration. You may search on the forum to find lots of threads dealing with fixed asset configuration. You may search Ivy Zhang to find out those threads.

PO created for fixed asset and other issues

1)Where does asset clearing account or CIP clearing account picks up in while creating a Purchase order for a fixed asset ?Is it from the item itself while defined or any other place ?
2)How does the accounting line flows from Fixed asset to General ledger especially for CIP assets?
3)How can a asset be attached to corporate book and tax book ,what is the set up required ?
Thanks
Jogendra

1)Where does asset clearing account or CIP clearing account picks up in while creating a Purchase order for a fixed asset ?Is it from the item itself while defined or any other place ?
Account gets defaulted from Item if it is there, if not you have to enter manually.But if you have customized your account generator, you have to look at the account generator.
2)How does the accounting line flows from Fixed asset to General ledger especially for CIP assets?
If you are creating a PO for an expense item, and have used CIP Asset Clearing Account in the PO Distributions it gets eligble. When you invoice this PO, this CIP Clearing Account gets Debited.
Cr Liability 100
Dr CIP Clearing Account 100
Obviously as this is setup as an asset account (flexfield qualifiers) this gets eligble for the mass addition transfers once you validate and account the invoice. When you run the mass additions create and post, these accounting entries will get created.
Cr CIP Clearing Account 100
Dr CIP Asset Cost Account 100
These accounts are defined at the asset category. The asset category for the mass additions is taken from the item setup (Purchasing Tab). Ofcourse this can be entirely different in R12.
Asset Book is derived based the asset category. Create Journal Entries program transfers the accounting entries to GL. Assets Creates the entries for the CIP Addition process in FA before transferring them to GL.
3)How can a asset be attached to corporate book and tax book ,what is the set up required ?
First you create a corporate book and then create a tax book and assign corporate book to this. WHile creating the tax book if you check the Allow CIP Asset check box (Tax Rules tab), the asset will automatically get copied into the tax book.
Thanks

RTFfile for Fixed asset module

I am trying to open report in fixed asset in Excel Spreadsheet and need RTF file for Account Reconciliation Reserve Ledger Report. Please let me know if anyone has that RTF file.

Hi,
It sounds like you need to build an XML Publisher Template to generate the output that you want. I am assuming that your fixed length report is currently coming from an Oracle Report of some sort.
You will need to set the output of the report to XML in the Concurrent Program, and use that sample XML output to build an RTF template. You can then register this template against the Concurrent Program and XML Publisher will produce your output for you based on this template.
To the best of my knowledge an Oracle Report does not produce RTF output, but you can set XML Publisher to output your report either as a .xls file for EXCEL or as HTML. These can then be opened with MS EXCEL.
I hope this helps a little,
Cj

Schedulling Concurrent Program in Fixed Assets

Hi Team,
Currently we are working on the Oracle Assets implementation. We want to know that what all concurrent programs like Post Mass addition program that are normaly scheduled by the business? Client wants to plan the concurrent programs that should be scheduled in Fixed Assets. So based on the experience with the business users, kindly guide us that what all programs should be scheduled in Fixed Assets?
Thanks
Garima Arora
Ph no 9642355228

Hi Garima,
While uploading assets into the system you may have to run
1) Post mass additions for adding assets to corp books from interface table.
2) Periodic mass copy to copy assets into tax books from corp books.
Other than this you may have to schedule 'Depreciation run' request set to close the books at the end of every period.
Thanks,
Vinod

How to repeat depreciation run for fixed assets

Dear Sir(s),
we are on SAP B PL03. We would like to re-run depreciation for some fixed assets to correct a previous depreciation run which was executed by mistake. The depreciation was posted to the GL accounts.
We are not able to get this option of re-running the depreciation even after changing the depreciation types of these fixed assets in the fixed asset master data. The depreciation run screen just displays a list of all previous depreciation runs.
Asif

Hi Asif,
The last depreciation you have run showing you in depreciation window,that depreciation you executed by mistake van remove by right click on that depreciation row and remove that row. Doing this your financial posting will be reverse then you can execute depreciation for the same period.
Thanks
