Is there any way to copy a range of assets into List of assets area as in ABAVN

[Former Member]

Dear Experts

In the transaction ABAVN, we can retire one or more assets by scraping.  To specify multiple numbers of assets to retire in the same transaction, a button called “Multiple assets” is provided. When this button is clicked, the system displays“List of Assets” screen with 6 viewable rows.

It is a requirement  to copy a long list of assets from excel sheet to “List of assets” screen. While pasting into the said screen, the system is copying only first 6 assets (from copied range) into the viewable area of list asset screen because viewable area consists of 6 rows.

Further, the function buttons “ Import from text file” and “ Upload from Clip Board” are not available in transaction ABAVN. Also tried that “Copy from clipboard and paste” options from "customize local layout button". Still the same results by the system.

Users do not want to scroll down or insert new lines manually and to copy again from the rest of the range of assets from excel. Further users do not want to use mass retirements using work list.

Is there any way to copy a range of assets into List of assets area as in ABAVN

Thanks in advance.

You can create a worklist in AR01 with required assets, while creating the worklist you need to select the right activity(e.g. retirement without revenue / with revenue / transfer).  Then you can release the worklist in AR31.

Hope it helps.

Hi Prasad

Thank you for your inputs.

We had already considered Worklist for mass retirement. But it was not considered by users because of below reasons:

a) Worklist posts a separate posting for each asset involved whereas user wants a cumulative document for all assets involved.

b) We have sub-assets also to retire. Worklist is not so convenient to specify different combinations of main assets and subassets

Users want to have a solution by pass the issues with copy and paste.

It is repetitive activity with my client.  We want know any way to overcome this know issue. I.e. Copy and paste works to the extend of viewable area of screen when buttons upload from text file and Cipboard are not available.
