Automatic Creation of Equipment Master

[Former Member]

Hi Experts

I have gone through lot of discussion available on forum but still Asset Equipment link is not working.

I would like to create Equipment when I create Asset.

I have done below settings.

1) Asset Accounting --> Master Data --> Automatic Creation of Equipment Master -> Specify Conditions for Synchronization of Master Data

here i have assigned equipment category and object type and selected direct synchronization after saving in Create Equipment

2) Asset Accounting --> Master Data --> Automatic Creation of Equipment Master -> Assign Master Data Fields of Assets and Equipment

here i have assigned fields here.

When I create asset and save its only creating assets and even not getting error message . I have also checked screen layout and equipment is optional and not seems to be a problem.

To see whether synchronization functionality works I have done settings from Equipment to Asset creation and it's working but that's not the requirement.

I have changed the settings back to the 1) above to create equipment when asset is being created and it's not working.

So to summaries when I create Asset - No equipment is created but if i change settings other way then asset is getting created from equipment.

My question is what settings are missing to create Equipment when I create Assets?

Is there any settings required from equipment side? any specific requirement on equipment category and object type?

Thank you.

Thanks Sayujya

This problem is fixed now. I did change the layout and did eveything I suppose to do before acutally raising question on forum.

I was testing on best practise templates available from SAP. Screen layout was from best practise and I was changing best practise layout and that wasn't working. But when I changed screen layout to standard SAP layout problem fixed. System works as expected and created equipment from asset and you can also see in master data under allocation tab.

There is something missing in the best practise screen layout behind the scene which doesn't work evenafter changing the settings. Standard SAP layout works and there is still problem with best practise layout.

Many thanks guys for alll the support.

I followed your steps and changed to Standard SAP Payout, but still not able to get the equipment when I created asset. I think I am missing something here. I would greatly appreciate it if you could post config steps.

Hi Sayujya

Thanks for reply, I did have a question before and you did told me change screen layout.

I have changed screen layout and added S0013 group box. But even after that I can't see screen layout on asset master. I have manually assign equipment master and then go to AS03 -> Environment ->Equipment to see the list of equipment attached.

Can you please let me know how do I get equipment on allocation screen and not to go behind the asset master? and how to create equipment from assets even after doing all the settings as mentioned before?

Thanks

Hi,

Simple,

1. Go to AOLK and check which tab layout is assigned to your asset class, to transaction group 'Others'.

2. Go to AOLA select layout you found out at 1st step, then double click on 'Tab Page Titles'.

3. Select tab page Allocations and click on position group on tab pages.

4. Click on new entries and insert 'S0013', save.

after doing this you will be able to find 'equipment' box under allocation.

and regarding asset synchronization..

Asset Accounting --> Master Data --> Automatic Creation of Equipment Master -> Specify Conditions for Synchronization of Master Data

In this step, under the box 'Edit Asset Master Record' mention,

Create Equipment 2 Direct Synchronization after saving

Change Equipment 2 Direct Synchronization after saving

Make sure you do not have any other field 'required' in equipment creation and not assigned to asset field.

After doing this you should be able to get equipment created automatically..
