AFAB + KI235: Depreciation run don't read the Cost Center from the asset

[ArturoSenosain]

Hi Friends. Wish any of you could clarify my concepts (asset are not my topic). Its a basic question!

Im doing help desk in the 1st period en closing of a project. When the FI team run the depreciation, have the typical CO error KI235 (

KI235 Account XXXXXX requires an assignment  to a CO object)

I check all the stuff i know:

+ the Asset have a cost center assigned

+ cost center and profit center are not blocked,

+ the periods from-to are valid

+ also post manually something in FB50N to the cost center. So, i think the cost center is not the problem.

+ I also check the substitution and exits on substitutions, and they are not cleaning the cost center

+ Also activate the tcode TRACE for cost object, and found the cost center never arrived to the FI document, and also was never cleaned.

After all of the analysis, i think: This is not CO problem, this is FI problem.

In the marketplace i found 1732825 - Error KI 235 in asset accounting transaction

In point 1 (AACCOBJ) and point 6 (ACSET) say that i must have a record with Cost Center. Could you please clarify this concept? I mean, the record with the Cost Center is a Must if i want the depreciation run pick the cost center from the asset ?

I also found something similar in this post

ACSET gap on running depreciation. No Cost Cent... | SCN

I check the FI custo and the record is not there, I compared the custo with a IDES and in the IDES i see the * like this:

KOSTL Cost Center * Generic Trans. Type 02 Depreciation Run `x`

Could you please explain me the concepts related with ACSET ? and if you think this custo solve the problem?

Thanks!

Arturo.

Hi Arturo

I am very conscious in answering to another expert!!

ACSET has 2 purposes

1. APC Posting:- During APC Posting, it reads the CC from Asset Master and then derives the PC from CC and updates the PC in the APC posting (APC means acquisition Posting from F-90 or settlements from AUC or WBS, etc)

Asset master does not have option to give a PC.. To achieve the above, you need to define your Asset APC recon account as Cost element (Catg 90)

2. Depreciation Posting:- During Depreciation, the Depreciation expense needs CC

This CC is also derived from Asset master, provided ACSET is maintained

Hence, in ACSET, you must maintain KOSTL for both APC Postings and Depreciation.. i.e. you will have 2 entries in ACSET for KOSTL
