2062566 - No Cost Center Assignment for Fixed Asset Scrapping

A manual posting to scrap a Fixed Asset is executed. The journal entry created with the posting did not derive the cost center to which the Fixed Asset has been assigned.

This information is highly relevant for cost center accounting.

 SAP Business ByDesign

1. Open the Fixed Assets Work Center.
2. Go to the Fixed Assets view.
3. Navigate to the Fixed Assets subview.
4. Select the respective Fixed Asset.
5. Click Edit.
6. Choose the Manual Postings button and select Complete Scrapping.
7. Confirm with Post.

Checking the Journal Entry, no cost center has been assigned.

This is the expected system behaviour.

Expenses from scrapping are intentionally not posted to the cost center. The reason for this is that the cost center accounting has a periodic character and it is not considered reasonable to inflate expenses in one special period in which the scrapping takes place.

In order to post the debited Fixed Asset Disposal or Loss of Assets Valuation to a cost center, follow the workaround described below:

1. Open the General Ledger Work Center.
2. Select New Journal Entry Voucher.
3. Maintain the necessary information and click Add Row.
4. Enter the respective amount in the field Debit in Transaction Currency.
5. Assign the Cost Center to which the fixed asset has been assigned.
6. Click Add Row.
7. Enter the same amount in the field Credit in Transaction Currency without assigning a cost center.
8. Confirm with Post.

This will post the expenses in connection with the fixed asset to the respective cost center.
