INTRODUCTION

Dear Reader,

We have pleasure in presenting yet another material to you.

Here we cover Internal order configuration as Investment measures/orders.

Investment orders are used for the production of Capital assets i.e.
Construction of Building, Plant & Machinery etc. They are used as cost object
to collect cost and monitor budgets. They can also be used for the purchase
of assets like vehicles, software etc.

Usually companies have huge amount of capital spending. Internal orders are
used as a cost object to capture cost and track the budgets. Internal orders
are basically used where the capital projects are very simple. In complex
projects, the project system module is used.

In this material, we basically cover the aspect of capitalization of cost from
internal orders to Asset under Construction (AUC). Capitalize costs from AUC
to Final asset.

We cover three following scenarios for capitalization:-

1) Capitalization required in all the 3 depreciation areas Parent, Local
and Tax reporting
2) Capitalization required in only parent reporting which means expense
out in local and tax reporting
3) Capitalization required in only local and tax reporting which means
expense out in parent reporting

So let us begin configuring the investment measures.


For doing the configuration we use the following path on the SAP application
screen:-

SAP Menu Tools Customizing IMG SPRO - Execute Project

The above path will not be referred henceforth; we will directly refer to
the IMG node.

1. Asset under Construction

1.1 Define Screen Layout for Asset Master Data

IMG Investment Management Internal Orders as Investment Measures
Master Data Assets under Construction Define Screen Layout for
Asset Master Data

We need to define a separate asset class with a separate screen layout for
showing investment measure details. We can use SAP standard screen
layout 4010 (Capital investment measure) or we can copy and create a new
one.

In our scenario we will copy the standard screen layout.

1.2 Define Asset Classes

Master Data Assets under Construction Define Asset Classes

Here we define a separate Asset class for Asset under construction which is
used specifically for Investment measure.

Important note: You cannot manually create asset under construction
under this class using transaction code AS01. The assets in this class
are automatically created when you save the internal order.


Double click

The selection investment measure is very important here.

You also need to do the remaining configuration for this asset class
such as account assignment. We will not cover this here; since this is
covered in the Asset accounting configuration cd set.

2. Asset under Construction

2.1 Define Model Orders

Master Data Orders Define Model Orders

Model orders are not orders in the commercial sense, but serve merely as
references for creating "normal" orders. Model orders contain default values
for the orders in an order type. The Model order is assigned as the reference
order in the order type.

When you create a new order, all the fields active in the relevant order type
are copied from the model order to the new order

We will create a model order with some defaults.

Double Click


Click



Click on

2.2 Define Order types (KOT2_OPA)

Master Data Orders Define Order Types

An Internal order is created under an Order type. An order type is used for
storing various control parameters and various defaults while creating an
internal order. It is used for classifying various types of internal orders
according to usage for e.g. internal orders for capital WIP and budget
tracking. A number range is assigned to the internal order type.


Click on

Take a drop in the field Order category and select 01


Click . You get a message

Click to proceed

Click

Here you can hide the various fields or make it as required entry or only
display or available for input. Thus while creating internal order only those
fields are displayed and available for input.

Hide some of the fields which are not required

Click on

Number Range needs to be assigned to the internal order type.
We will configure internal number range for our internal order type Capital
WIP (Budget tracking)

Click on in

Position the cursor first on then



Click

Click


You will find internal order type Z91C in not assigned

You need to assign the order type to the group we created above.

Proceed as follows:-

Position the cursor on

Click on . Note that it becomes blue.

Select the group we created

Click

The internal order type Z91C moves under the group which can be seen as
follows:-

Click

Select

Click

Click

Note that the number range created and assigned, is now displayed in the
internal order type.

Click on

Also assign the model order to the order type as shown below


Click on

2.3 Define Investment Profile

Master Data Define Investment Profile

The investment profile controls the creation of an asset under construction
belonging to the capital investment measure when we create a capital
investment measure (i.e. internal order).
The investment profile created is assigned to the Model order.

3.2 Maintain Budget Profile

Planning and Budgeting Maintain Budget Profile

In order to allocate budgets to your orders, you need to create a user-defined
budget profile, or use one provided in the system.
The following parameters are relevant for order budgets:

Whether availability control runs against annual or overall budget

The activation type controls availability control. There are three activation
types:
0 = Cannot activate
This activity type may cause an already active availability control to be
deactivated.
1 = Automatic activation when budget is assigned
You need to maintain at least one tolerance limit for the budget profile.
2 = Background activation when percentage of consumption is exceeded
You need to enter a Percentage of consumption in background activation. The
percentage of consumption represents the relationship of committed funds to
the budget as a percentage.
You need to maintain at least one tolerance limit for the budget profile to have
the system check the posting.

3.3 Define Tolerance Limits for Availability Control

Planning and Budgeting Define Tolerance Limits for Availability Control

Availability control can help you recognize possible budget overruns in time
and can automatically trigger different actions.
You configure availability control for each budget profile. You can define one
or more tolerance limits for the different activity groups within a budget profile.
When these tolerances are reached, you can have the system trigger specific
actions (warning, warning with Mail, error message).
Enter activity group ++ to define the tolerance limits for all activity groups.
This activity group is designed to simplify data entry and is particularly useful
if you do not want to define a separate tolerance limit for each group.

In addition to a tolerance defined for "all transaction groups", you can define a
limit for a particular transaction group. This additional tolerance limit has
priority over the "general" limit.

Here we will specify usage variance in % i.e. 85%. If the spending exceeds
85%, system will give a warning to the user.

We can also specify absolute figures.

4 Settlement
4.1 Maintain Allocation structure

Settlement Maintain Allocation Structures

An Allocation structure comprises one or several settlement assignments. An
assignment shows which costs (origin: cost element groups) are to be settled
to which receiver type (e.g. cost center, order and so on)
You have 2 options:- You can settle to a settlement cost element or settle by
cost element i.e. settle using the original cost element.

We will use settle by settlement cost element.

5 Internal Orders as Investment Measures

5.1 Define Capitalization Versions

IMG Investment Management Internal Orders as Investment
Measures Capitalization Values per Depreciation Area Define
Capitalization Versions

The Investment Management System uses capitalization keys to perform a
settlement of costs from a capital investment measure that require
capitalization, and those that do not require capitalization.

This settlement is specific for each depreciation area.

Thus you could decide the portion of costs you want to capitalize to certain
specific depreciation areas.


Double click

You will find that there exists already some capitalization version, which
are copied when you copy and create the new chart of depreciation.


Delete the above entries and create fresh capitalization version.

Select the existing entries as shown below:-

Click

Click on

Click on

Click Back twice


Double Click


We now assign the capitalization version to each depreciation areas.


Click

Click on

4.4 Maintain Capitalization Keys

Measures Capitalization Values per Depreciation Area Maintain
Capitalization Keys

The capitalization keys are used to specify that certain cost elements in
certain depreciation areas of the asset under construction are not capitalized
(either wholly or in part). These portions of costs that are not capitalized are
periodically cleared as non operating expense. The system transfers the
acquisition and production costs, which do require capitalization, to the asset
under construction.
The capitalization keys created here are updated in the master data of the
investment measure under (Control data). You can also specify a
capitalization key as a default value in the asset class for the automatic
creation of assets under construction. This asset class is entered in the
investment profile of the investment measure.

We will create 3 capitalization keys based on the 3 following scenarios:-

1) Capitalization required in all the 3 depreciation areas Parent, Local
and Tax reporting
2) Capitalization required in only parent reporting which means expense
out in local and tax reporting
3) Capitalization required in only local and tax reporting which means
expense out in parent reporting

Double Click


Click on


Click on

Click


Double Click

Click on

Assign the capitalization key Z91101 to depreciation area 1, area 30 and
area 70.


Assign capitalization key Z91102 to depreciation area 1, 30 and 70.

Please note that although the assignment is done to area 30 and 70 the
required to cap % is kept blank. These entries are required by system so
that no capitalization is carried out to area 30 and area 70.


Assign capitalization key Z91103 to depreciation area 1, 30 and 70.

Please note that although the assignment is done to area 1 the required
to cap % is kept blank.

This entry is required by system so that no capitalization is carried out
to area 1.

Click on

Click Back


Double Click

Here we will not assign any default capitalization key, since users
should update it manually in the investment measure.


4.4 Determine Accounts for Non operating Expense

Measures Capitalization Values per Depreciation Area Determine
Accounts for Non operating Expense

Here you assign the GL accounts for capitalization differences (non operating
expense) which are area-specific. The account must be assigned to asset
class for capital investment measures.

Check the AUC Asset

Nothing has been posted in the parent reporting depreciation area 01

Let us check the entries that have been posted.

Double click


As can be seen above the capitalization costs have been expensed in
parent reporting.

Now let us check the local reporting depreciation area:-

Click

Double Click


As can be seen above the values have been capitalized to the AUC

Double click to check the settlement to the final asset from the AUC.


Click


As can be seen above the values have been capitalized in the AUC

Double click to check the settlement to the final asset.


The asset values are now capitalized to the final asset.

Thus capitalization keys play an important role in capitalization and
helps in allocating costs portion only to specific depreciation area
depending on the requirement of each depreciation areas.
