Purpose

The Asset Explorer (transaction AW01N) shows planned as well as APC values already posted and depreciation of a fixed asset in various formats and levels of summarization. The Asset Explorer is used for displaying and analyzing fixed asset values.

Integration

Prerequisites

Features

The Asset Explorer consists of: A header, in which you first enter the company code the asset to be considered, an overview tree for navigation among depreciation areas, an overview tree that displays objects related to the asset, the tab pages, in which you can analyze planned values, posted values, and various parameters, and make comparisons of fiscal years or depreciation areas.

  1. Title Bar
    1. With the Refresh Asset pushbutton, you can read the data of the fixed asset from the database again, without having to start the Asset Explorer again.
    2. With the Display Master Data pushbutton, you can jump to the asset master record.
    3. With the Translate Currency Amountspustbutton, you can display amounts in other currencies using various currency translation methods.
    4. With the Call Asset Reportspushbutton, you can jump to various standard asset accounting reports.
    5. With the Switch On Simulation pushbutton, you can simulate different depreciation terms and different transactions.
  2. Header
    1. Along with the company code and main asset number, you can also enter the asset subnumber here and navigate to different fiscal years.
    2. If you enter an asterisk (*) in the asset subnumber field, then all the subnumbers for the main asset number are also included in the value display. However, there are certain limitations that should be considered.
  3. Overview Tree for Depreciation Areas
    1. By choosing the pushbutton above the overview tree, you go to the display transaction for asset master data.
    2. In the overview tree itself, you navigate among the depreciation areas by selecting the depreciation area you want to view. The icon to the left of the depreciation area name indicates if the depreciation area is real or derived.
  4. Overview Tree for Related Objects
    1. The system automatically searches for objects related to the asset, for example, cost center, equipment, G/L account, and displays these in an overview tree. You can go directly from here to the display transaction for the master data of the given object.
    2. To go to a report that contains all contextual data for logistics documents, double click on the folder icon above the purchase orders.
  5. The Planned Values tab page, Planned Values subscreen
    1. On the Planned Values tab page, the system displays all transactions affecting APC values, all depreciation calculated for the asset (including proportional value adjustments), the net book value, and any interest calculated. The values at the start of the year are shown compared to the values at the end of the fiscal year. The differences between the two are also displayed. For each type of depreciation, it shows the accumulated depreciation of closed fiscal years (value at start of the fiscal year) and the planned depreciation for the current year. Reductions to APC (investment support, transferred reserves) and revaluation are shown separately from the acquisition and production costs.
    2. You can recalculate planned depreciation for the displayed asset by choosing the Recalculate dep. pushbutton.
    3. Choose the Display dep. calculation pushbutton to display the depreciation calculation. Here you can see step-by-step, detailed information for the depreciation values calculated. This applies for each depreciation area, each depreciation type, and each asset transaction. The system displays the asset balance at the start of the fiscal year, as well as the depreciation planned on the balance. In addition, all changes to APC values in the current year, with the corresponding adjustments to planned annual depreciation, are listed. To display a hierarchical structure (depreciation trace) that shows all routines that were called during the calculation of depreciation, choose the Routines pushbutton. You can expand the tree structure to see the most important parameters.
    4. If the asset is a group asset, you can go to the standard report that shows its component assets by choosing the Break down group asset pushbutton.
  6. The Planned Values tab page, Transactions subscreen
    1. Select a transaction line item, and choose or display the FI document to go to the corresponding document in Financial Accounting.
    2. Select a transaction line item, and choose All Accounting Documents to receive a list of all documents in Financials. You can jump from the list to these documents.
    3. Select a transaction line item, and choose Display Header Asset Accounting to display the corresponding information in the asset accounting document.
    4. Select a transaction line item, and choose Display Originals to display ArchiveLink documents related to the transaction.
    5. After choosing the simulation in the title bar, you can simulate various APC transactions for the asset by choosing the Trans. Simulation pushbutton. The results are displayed directly in the value display. The simulated transaction is shown in the transaction list in a different color.
  7. The Posted Values tab page, Posted Depreciation Values subscreen
    1. On the Posted values tab page, you display the values that have already been posted in Financial Accounting in the current year, rather than planned depreciation.
  8. The Posted Values tab page, the Depreciation Planned/Posted subscreen
    1. The Planned/posted depreciation table shows a breakdown of depreciation by period. The status indicates whether the depreciation is still planned only, or if it has actually been posted. The table lists both regular posting periods as well as special periods (if there are any).
    2. Select a transaction line and choose Display Deprec. Log in order to see the log for that depreciation posting run.
  9. Comparisons tab page
    1. On this tab page, you can display and compare up to five different depreciation areas for one or more fiscal years.
  10. Parameters tab page
    1. The Parameters tab contains information such as the depreciation key, useful life and index specifications used.
    2. If you switch on the simulation mode, then certain fields on this tab page become ready for input. You can change these fields to simulate depreciation with different terms. This triggers a recalculation of depreciation. The system then displays the simulated values directly in the Asset Explorer.
  11. Further Functions
You can set up standard reports with your own variants so that these can be called directly from the Asset Explorer. Choose Goto -> Maintain Reports.
  1. Constraints
You should be aware that the Asset Explorer has certain limitations in its simulation functions and in displaying all subnumbers for a main number. For more information, see the section on the Asset Explorer in the SAP Library.
