Inventory to Final Asset Transfer in FI-AA

Hello Everyone,

Greetings!!

We frequently come across new business requirements. Sometimes we can achieve the same using standard process and at times we need to do the customization or we need to think of another way out to meet the business requirement.

Recently, I came across one business requirement where business needs to transfer their inventory to the final asset. Well, there is a standard process available in SAP to achieve the same. Although, this is not so frequent scenario so might be many of you may not aware of the process. I’ve achieved the business requirement by following some of the standard processes of SAP. So, thought to share with you all which can help any of you at a later stage.

To start with below is the process flow which will help to understand the process in the simplest way possible.Process%20Flow%20Chart

Process Flow Chart

 

To elaborate on each point mention in the process flow chart, kindly go through the below steps:

Please note that we can transfer or settle AUC to the final asset in two ways.

1. After posting the MIGO, and before posting the MIRO document

2. Directly after posting the MIRO document

 

1. Master Data Creation

1.1: Internal Order

  • For the purpose of assigning the budget to assets, we’ve to create Internal Order using T-Code KO01

Create%20IO

Create IO

Enter%20Necessary%20Details

Enter Necessary Details

Control%20Data

1.2: Assign Budget to Internal Order

Enter%20IO%20Number

Enter IO Number

Assign%20Budget%20to%20IO

1.3: Release Internal Order –KO02

Release%20IO%201

Release IO 1

Released%20IO

1.4: Assign Internal order to Order Group – KOH2

Select%20Order%20Group

                          Select Order GroupAssign%20IO%20to%20Order%20Group

Assign IO to Order Group

1.5: Create Asset Master (AUC) – AS01

Create%20Asset%20Master

Create Asset Master

Enter%20Details

Enter Details

Enter%20Details

Enter Details (Assign Internal Order in Time-Dependent tab)

Asset%20is%20Created

Asset is Created

1.6: Create Main Asset – AS01

Once AUC is created, we have to create the main asset in which we have to transfer the AUC. It is important to assign the Unit of measurement and cost center.

Creation%20of%20Main%20Asset

Creation of Main Asset

Enter%20required%20Data

Enter required Data (Cost Centre & Internal Order)

Assign%20Depreciation%20Area

Assign Depreciation Area

Asset%20Master%20Created

Asset Master Created

Now, we have completed all the pre-requisite in order to transfer the Inventory to the Final asset.

2. Procurement Process

2.1 Create PR (ME51N)

  •   In the account assignment category select A.
  •   Inline item data give internal order numbers created before.

Select%20Account%20Assignment%20as%20A%20%28Asset%29

Select Account Assignment as A (Asset)

Enter%20order%20number%20and%20select%20material

Enter the order number and select material

Purchase%20Requisition%20is%20created

Purchase Requisition is created

2.2 Create PO (ME21N)

  • Make sure that Uncheck the GR non valuated
  • Make sure that you’ve assigned the Internal Order

Create%20PO

Create PO using PR

Uncheck%20GR%20valuated%20box

Uncheck GR valuated box

PO%20is%20created

PO is created

2.3 MIGO

Enter%20PO%20number

Enter PO number

MIGO%20document%20is%20posted

MIGO document is posted

Now, you can see Quantity is transferred in AUC.

Quantity%20is%20updated

Quantity is updated

3. Settlement of Asset

3.1 Create Sub Asset (AS11)

Write%20number%20of%20sub%20asset

Write the number of sub-asset

Enter%20details

Enter necessary details

Sub%20asset%20are%20created

Sub assets are created

3.2 Transferred AUC to the main asset (AIAB)

Write%20the%20main%20asset%20name

Write the main asset name

The%20book%20value%20of%20the%20asset%20will%20be%20shown%20here

The book value of the asset will be shown here

  • Now you will select the asset and press the button
  • It will ask you to asset settlement
  • There are two options while settling, you can write a direct amount or you can write the percentage.

Check%20syntex

Check Syntex

Check%20the%20Green%20status

Check the Green status

After the Green status, the system will take you to T-code – AIBU.

  • Here you have to write the Asset Value Date, which has a direct impact on Depreciation
  • Check the amount transfer in Test

AIBU%20screen%20will%20open

AIBU screen will open automatically. Click on a test run.

Now%2C%20AUC%20is%20transferred%20to%20main%20asset

Now you can see the entry.

Remove%20test%20run%20and%20execute

Uncheck test run and execute

The%20asset%20is%20transferred%20and%20the%20document%20is%20posted.

The asset is transferred and the document is posted.

Now check Asset Explorer (AW01N) of AUC and main asset. Values will transfer from AUC to the final Asset.

4. If a settlement is performed after MIRO

First steps such as PO creation and MIGO will be the same as the previous process i.e. settlement after MIGO.

Step 1: Create AUC
Step 2: Create Main Asset
Step 3: Create PR & PO
Step 4: Post MIGO

Step 5: Post MIRO. After doing the above mention steps, create MIRO document

MIRO%20Document

MIRO Document

MIRO%20Document%20is%20posted

Select%20AUC%20Asset%20and%20click%20on%20Execute

After entering the settlement details, system will redirect to AIBU screen

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Click on Execute and here you can see the Accounting simulation of Settled asset

If, Above entry is correct and as per the business requirement, then post the entry. To post the document, remove the test run and click on execute.

AIBU%20Accounting%20posted

AIBU Accounting posted

Now check Asset Explorer (AW01N) of AUC and main asset. Values will transfer from AUC to the final Asset.

 

Any suggestions or inputs are welcome.

 

Thank you!!

      Nice Explanation Archit !!!

      I just want to understand why we need to create an Internal order if we are not settling the Internal order to AUC asset.
