Subject: RE: FA: Error Transfering an Asset

This error message originates from the flexbuilder rule. Check default rules for the cost and reserve account. The code combinations and all the segments must be valid for the above accounts in GL.There are 4 possible combinations you have to look into being the cost and reserve acccount for the "from" and "to" account.(rahter the new and old distribution)

You can do a flexbuilder test (from the Test flexbuilder screen)to identify where the rule is failing to generate the ccid for all these combinations.You can get values for the Test thru Help\tools\Examine or by a simple sql to get ccids from fa_category_books

select ad.asset_number,
ad.asset_id,
cb.book_type_code,
cb.asset_cost_acct,
cb.asset_cost_account_ccid,
cb.deprn_reserve_acct,
cb.reserve_account_ccid,
dh.code_combination_id,
bk.flexbuilder_defaults_ccid
from fa_category_books cb,
fa_additions ad,
fa_book_controls bk,
fa_distribution_history dh
where cb.category_id = ad.asset_category_id
and cb.book_type_code = bk.book_type_code
and dh.asset_id = '&&asset_id'
and ad.asset_id = '&&asset_id'
and dh.date_ineffective is null
and bk.book_type_code in
(select bk1.book_type_code
from fa_books bk1
where bk1.asset_id = '&&asset_id');
If you are runnning Character you might get more detailed error message. Hope this helps, Let us know the results Thanks, Lakshmi Viswanth.

Subject: Asset Transfer Problem
Date: Thu, 22 Apr 1999 14:34:17 -0400 (EDT)

Hi
I'm doing an Asset Transfer. and when I saved my tran, it gives me this error :

APP-47184 Depreciation for book FEDERAL TAX has failed, please re-run depreciation.

Our last run on FEDERAL TAX book is causing an error when it was last run. Since we are not using this book anymore I did not want to run depreciation multiple times until it runs without errors (you know enabling accounts and flex_values).

But just to make to Asset transfer to work I did this;

update fa_book_controls
set deprn_status 'C'
where book_tye_code 'FEDERAL TAX';

After doing this my transfer works fine.

Is there any problem that will arise because of my doing this? I'm still reluctant to implement this in prod. Could somebody provide inputs. 10.7 Char. Thanks, Ed Palad Consultant Oracle Financials, First USA (302) 985-8591 EMail - EdPalad@FirstUSA.com

ED,
The most important advise is not to use sql plus whenever a problem occurs.

As the whole ERP application is form based, any sql plus intervention would not make it a possible solution to track the problem.

Suggestion would be to contact oracle support and undo what you have done and redo the excercise. Probably there is something with the depreciation run in the tax book which has a cue to the above problem.

Try doing mass transfer, and then individual asset transfer. If there is a problem in both then the situation is serious, if either of them are working, then the problem is localised to that concurrent program.

Thanks, Suresh Chhabria sureshchhabria@yahoo.com

Suresh,
I was happy I never had to do it. But Oracle got me the patch fix and some sql updates and it worked. Thanks I agree. Ed

We sometimes need to use that update via sql if a deprn run crashes, in order to allow a rerun. This is as per advice received from Oracle support.

Periodic Mass Copy Extra Data To Tax Book

Date: Mon, 22 Mar 1999 16:16:11 -0800
From: Ron Chan
Subject: FA: Periodic Mass Copy Extra Data To Tax Book
Problem A user of our fixed asset system was mass copying data from our corp book to the tax book for fiscal year 1998. But instead of stopping after he had copied Sep-98 (last period in fiscal year) into our tax book, he continued and copied Oct-98 and Nov-98 into FY98 period of tax book (Oct-98 and Nov-98 data is supposed to go into FY99 tax period). Now we have assets that are retired/adjusted in FY98 instead of FY99.
Has anyone had a similar problem? What did you do to resolve it so you could get valid tax reports?
We are attempting to factor out the effects of the "extra" transactions manually.
How it was supposed to work:
In our corp books we have 12 periods in the fiscal year from Oct-Sep.
In our tax books we have 1 period for the fiscal year from Oct-Sep.
For the 1998 fiscal year, the procedure would be to do 12 periodic mass copies from Oct-97 to Sep-98 of corp book Fixed Asset data to FY98 period in tax book. After Sep-98 is copied to tax book, we would run various reports to verify that the data in the tax book "ties" back to the data in the corp book. After everything checks out, we can depreciate tax book to close out FY98 and open FY99.

After running tax reports and doing taxes for Fiscal 1998, we would then begin copying data for fiscal 1999. Periodic mass copy Oct-98 to FY99, then copy Nov-98 to FY99 and so on.
