My Research SAP Asset Accounting

Now i will have to check by creating new asset and at the same time i gotta figure out how to delete old redundant assets. This involves step-by-step deletion of transaction data, master data.

1.You cannot create asset with the template which exists in other company code

2. Just now found one recently created asset in the system using the table ANLA. ANLA table is an asset master record table which has asset creation date.

3.Now I will have to find how to change field status of asset master. While creation of an asset i encountered a mandatory field.

4.I started looking into screen layouts of asset so that i can change the field status of asset master. Screen layout is assigned to asset class. You can analogize account group as asset class in asset accounting.

5. I was able to create asset in company code using other asset template.

6. Now I am looking forward to add a transaction w.r.t Asset module. I will update soon on the blog. I tried, it looks tough though, it is quite a challenge. F-90 is asset acquisition T code, This is the one transaction i can get my hands on.

7. Going to suspend my plan of creating transaction for now, my next goal is to create asset classes within my own company code. Table for asset classes ANKA.I made out some differences between ANKA and ANLA

8. Successfully tested one field in asset creation part. Capitalization date can only be made required in case of Asset under construction.

9.I already have some of the asset classes defined in the system, they are under different company codes.

10. I was not able to find the significance of Asset Number and Asset Sub number w.r.t. screen layout. I have created 2 assets of same asset classes to check the difference.

11. Next thing that needs to be created is new Depreciation Key, Let me take a look of already existing templates and create one. Depreciation key is created at Depreciation Area Level. So it is quite challenging to manually make copy of the Depreciation key.

12. Base Methods, Declining-Balance Methods, Maximum Amount Methods, Multi-Level Methods, Period Control Methods

13.Next step is defining Depreciation key by assigning 4 Depreciation methods

14. Even though the Depreciation key is configured, it is still in Error-stage. Let me give it a try with cut off value key.

15. It doesn’t seem error is gone, error goes “ no phase in depreciation……”

16. Both the depreciation keys are activated.(one is SLM and other being WDV)

17. Still there is an error, Asset master is not displaying depreciation area in last tab.

18. This is the pending job now. I am going add new screen layout for depreciation area. Even these steps resulted into nothing. Let me try some different ways.

19. From point no. 14 it seems though, that chart of depreciation settings are not good enough to go ahead. Let me cross check with AL4D. Not able to get any way further.

20.Point no. 17 is still a mystery was not able find anything in that regard. The ultimate option i am left with is taking look of google pics or My SAP notes.

21.AO21 and OAYZ have authorizations to change the field status of asset master. There are lots of experiment can be done using this, viz.
