F-48 Down Payment posting to Fixed Asset

[Former Member]

Dear Sap gurus,

We have a case where we have created a PO with a generic material with Acct Assignment Category as "A" for Asset. In the Account Assignment, we enter the AUC number, Internal Order number and other relevant details.

We then make a down payment to the vendor using tcode F-48. In this, we enter the PO number and its line item as the in the second screen. When we press enter, we get the Asset number in the field in the second line item.

When we simulate, we get 4 line items, as under :

Vendor Debit (Special GL)

Bank Credit

AUC asset Debit

Asset Clg Credit.

Since, the line items 3 and 4 are generated, the system asks us to enable Asset postings for document type "KZ" for the down payment.

We do NOT want to have the line items 3 and 4 being generated. We just want the following entry when doing F-48 :

Vendor Debit (Special GL)

Bank Credit.

How can we get this done ?

Please help.

Thanks in advance.

PS : In a standard system these line items 3 and 4 are NOT generated.

Hi Sreecheera,

You can achieve this by following the steps below:-

1. Create a New Field Status group as a copy of G067 and assign Z067(Suppress Assets here) to your Vendor related recon accounts... (Special GL A)

2. Now when you create a down payment request in F-47, you will get an error F5 378...

3. Supress this error message in OBA5 - Enter Work area as F5 in OBA5 and supress the message no 378 to W.

Hi,

Thanks for your quick response.

Is this the standard solution ?

I am asking this because in one different system at another location, I did NOT have to undertake the steps mentioned by you. The system was behaving normally without me having to do the config as mentioned by you.

In the standard system, is this message suppressed ?

Please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

Hi

I agree with the solution given above.. I have myself used this many times and it works

This is sort of a workaround you can say, but using standard SAP....

In the standard system, DP is always updated to Fixed Assets i.e. it generates 2 additional line items related to asset during F-48

Hi,

This is a tried and tested solution. I have used it in many projects and there is no harm in this.. It is just twisting a bit to get what you want..

Secondly, about suppressing the SAP message.. SAP does allow some of the messages in OBA5 to treat as per your requirement and this Message No. is available there.. so can be easily suppressed.
