BAPI for asset creation through ABZON

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I have a requirement where I need to simulate SAP asset creation process through transaction ABZON through ABAP program. I got two BAPIs for asset creation:

BAPI_FIXEDASSET_CREATE  and

BAPI_ASSET_ACQUISITION_POST

But I am not sure which BAPI will solve my purpose and what's the difference between the two? I could find that transaction ABZON allow us to create the asset master record and post the asset acquisition as a one step. I want to implement the same in my program through BAPI.

Please provide your valuable inputs..

Thanks.

Hi Pranshu,

If you only want to create an asset with no value , you should use BAPI_FIXEDASSET_CREATE ,

But If you want to create and transfer amount into in it.You should use BAPI_FIXEDASSET_CREATE  and/or BAPI_ASSET_ACQUISITION_POST.But I am not sure BAPI_ASSET_ACQUISITION_POST cover all of your needs .After creation of your asset , you could use bdc for abzon I think.

Hi Oldun,

Thanks for your input. bdc for abzon.. yes that would be the last option for me.. but I just wanted to check first whether we can mimic the sap standard asset creation using abzon through BAPI.

Before going to bdc option I need to make sure there is no bapi available for abzon.

Thanks.

For creation use

• Fixed asset  (BUS1022):

           BAPI_FIXEDASSET_CREATE1

           BAPI_FIXEDASSET_CREATE is obsolete

For acquision

• Asset acquisition (BUS6029):

           BAPI_ASSET_ACQUISITION_CHECK

           BAPI_ASSET_ACQUISITION_POST

NB: ABZON is an Enjoy transaction, so a BDC should call transaction ABZO (*) but better try BAPI solution.

Hi Raymond,

Thanks a lot for your guidance. To summarize this I should:

1) Use BAPI_FIXEDASSET_CREATE1 to create asset master record,

2)  and then BAPI_ASSET_ACQUISITION_POST for posting the asset acquisition.

By doing this we will achieve abzon functionality through ABAP program.

Please correct me if am wrong..

Thanks.

I won't correct you

Other usual BAPI for Asset postings on acquisition/retirement/transfer :

• Asset retirement: (BUS6028)

     BAPI_ASSET_RETIREMENT_CHECK           

     ASSET_RETIREMENT_POST

• Post-capitalization of asset (BUS6027):

     BAPI_ASSET_POSTCAP_CHECK

     ASSET_POSTCAP_POST

With the creation BAPI and the three posting BAPI you should be able to replace the whole bunch of transactions : ABZON, ABAVN, ABAON, ABNAN, ABUMN, ABT1N

Raymond
