Min amt to be set for creation of asset

[Former Member]

Dear SAP Experts,

We have a requirment (for creation of asset minimum amount of 1000/- is required if the asset is having useful life if more than 1 year). That is the starting point of 1000/ to be set if the asset useful life is more that 1 year...Can this be possible in standard SAP ???

Eg: If any amt less than 1000 say 800 is posted to that asset then system should throw error....for all asset whose useful life is more that 1 year

Kindly adivce..thanks in advance for your reply

Hi Gabriel

Franky speaking this is process control... Your business should have a policy where in the request to create an asset is reviewed by Finance and approved only if the Value/usful life is as you mentioned

Though you can use Validation exit to check A useful life life of less than 1 yr not being entered in the Asset Master while creation, I would not recommend this.... The best way is "Discipline" for such things

For Amount also you can set up a validation in OB28 that If Doc Type = AA, the amount (DMBTR) should not be less than 1000

Again, The best way is "Discipline" for such things

I'm assuming that you are not using LVA since you mentioned asset more than 1 year life.

In this case you can set validation in AA, FI or even CO (if you've the balance sheet accounts as statistical cost element).

Is validation the only option here ???
