KOB5 / KO88 AUC to Fixed Assets

[Former Member]

Hello everyone,

I've searched around SCN and would like to ask a specific question about KO88 AUC settlement to Fixed Assets.

I've tried getting to Note 198931 but my computer will not open it without some weird required log-on that i am unable to get to (not my SCN log on, my work computer log on (i tried my normal logon for internet use but it's still not working)).  So moderators: please do not delete this question because I have already tried to use SCN to find an answer and failed; and I have a specific question to ask. 

Now, at my work I run a program that capitalizes Equipment records to Fixed Assets.  It was created by I.T. here at my work and is not a standard SAP program.

Overall, this is what the program does:

1. Credit project and debit Investment Internal Order

Dr  Account / IO

     Cr Account / Project

Dr AUC (Using an "asset" number that is the same number as the IO)

     Cr Account / IO

Dr Fixed Assets

     Cr AUC

Now, sometimes the program errors and does not complete the third posting. 

So, i was posting it manually via F-02.

But, i figured out how to use KOB5 to make sure the settlement rule was assigned ("FXA").

And then, I was able to figure out that I can use KO88 to settle the AUC "asset" to Fixed Assets. 

Now, here's my inquiry: when I select "Full Settlement" I receive an error KD574: Asset Under Construction not completely credited. 

Then, when I select "Partial Capitalization" it settles the AUC to Fixed Assets with no problem.  Now, I know some people have asked about this, but i'm looking for a clear explanation to the exact difference between the "Full Settlement" and the "Partial Capitalization".  Before I can officially use "Partial Capitalization" going forward as a fix when the program I run bombs, my boss wanted an exact explanation of "partial capitalization" and the SAP info did not explain it fully. 

Here's what I'm thinking:  If KOB5 has some line items that don't have settlement rules (with a red light next to it), then "Full Settlement" will continue to give me that error message.  Then if i use "Partial Capitalization" KO88 will only settle the items in KOB5 that have settlement rules assigned to them (with a green light next to it).  Is this accurate??

Hi Christina,

Partial Capitalization Option in Settlement is required to be opted when the Sender Order is not technically completed.

If the Internal Order is not technically completed (System Status TECO) till time you have to opt for Partial Settlement.

Hi,

Also following information may be helpful:  message KD574 will be issue if one line item will not be completely settled.  If you assigned a distribution rule for one line item with a 100% FUL rule. This means that this line item will be completely settled and message KD574 is not necessary.
