2870455 - Fixed Assets Inventory List - Display of Acquisition Cost and Planned Net Book Value for Individual Material

Symptom

  • You run the Fixed Assets Inventory List report for Fixed Asset XYZ-X (XYZ-X represents the Fixed Asset ID), adding the Individual Material attribute. 
  • You notice two reporting lines for the Fixed Asset,

 - one relating to the Fixed Asset's Individual Material ABC* and
 - one displaying # in the Individual Material Column. 

  • For the Individual Material an Acquisition Cost is displayed. However, the Planned Net Book Value displays 0,00 LC (LC stands for Local Currency). 
  • For the reporting line displaying #, a Planned Net Book value appears, but the Acquisition Cost appears as 0,00 LC. 

*(ABCrepresents the Individual Material ID and Name)

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. In the Fixed Assets work center go to the Reports - List view and open the Fixed Assets - Inventory List report. 
  2. Maintain all mandatory fields (such as Company, Set of Books etc.).
  3. In the Fixed Asset ID field enter the ID XYZ.
  4. Press Apply.
  5. Select View and add the Individual Material attribute to the report. 

You notice two reporting lines for the  Fixed Asset:

  • The first line relates to Individual Material ABC, displaying an Acquisition cost. However, the Planned Net Book Value appears as 0,00 LC.
  • The second line displays # in the Individual material Column. Here, the Acquisition Cost appears as 0,00 LC but a Planned Net Book value is displayed.

Cause

For Fixed Assets, there are transactions which relate to Individual Materials and transactions which relate to the Fixed Asset as a whole:

  • Transactions, such as Acquisitions directly relate to these Individual Materials.
  • However, transactions, effecting to a Fixed Asset's Net Book value, such as Depreciation Postings, relate to the whole Fixed Assets rather than the respective Individual Material(s). 

Therefore, the Fixed Assets- Inventory List report displays separate reporting lines,

- on one hand, in regards to the Individual Materials, displaying values in the Acquisition Value column and,

- on the other hand, in regards to the whole Fixed Asset, displaying values in the Planned Net Book Value column.

Resolution

The Fixed Assets - Inventory List report works as designed. To analyze all transactions on a Fixed Asset, use, for example, the Fixed Assets - Line Items report.
