Settlement to AUC - based on Matl. code + Serial No. of same material

[former_member210673]

Dear All,

Has anyone worked on a scenario where Asset Capitalization is done based on Material & Serial No. / Mac-ID (Ex: for 100 – Laptops 100 S.No. & 100 Mac-ID for 100- Routers) using Project Settlement run.

At time of GRN, the multiple Equipment# are generated for Single Matl. Code (Cost updated against WBS Element). Hence, at time of GI, IF 50-Units out of 100-units are done (Consumption cost updated against WBS Element), Capitalization based on the respective series of the 50-Units need to be done.

Please let me know the possible options of Capitalization in this scenario, as we have checked possible options and we can have a different Source Structure per Matl. In Settlement Profile, but not at Serial / Equipment # generated for Matl.

-thanks

In your scenario I would not use PS as a mechanism to capitalize the asset. PS is used when you are constructing an asset and have to hold the value in an AuC until finished. If you are just purchasing assets use Account Assignment A on the PO. MM has functionality where it will create a separate asset for each unit at GR.

Dear Ken,

Thanks for your swift response.

We did think of going with Acct. assgnmnt' A' for such materials. However, as business scenario wants procurement and Budget control against WBS ELEMENT, we are going with GRN (Project stock).

As mentioned in my previous post, we are able to generate Equipment# for each Unit received for material. Thinking if we can can pass on Capitalization process to FI/MM team from GRN/ GI step, as I don't see any possibility to generate AUC# for each Unit received through Project settlement as Actual Cost would get updated against WBS Element only at time of GI.

Please suggest if you can give any pointers for FI/MM team in procedure to generate Asset# for each of the material Unit (Configuration, t-code etc.).

-thanks

Dear Ken,

Found below link, which I need to check if it will generate Asset# as per our requirement (GRN for PO with Q).

Any other suggestions, if you have will be helpful.

-thanks

Many companies have budgeted capital expenditure. Unless we use funds management, is there a way to have budgetary control if we procure with account assignment 'A'?

Thanks
