Dear Experts,
We try to post asset acquisition for asset that has been retired by using the Asset Value Date similar to Deactivation Date (retirement date). The scenario is as follow:
- Asset purchased via PO: 10 qty
- 1st partial GRN: 6 qty
- 2nd partial GRN: 4 qty - this is where the above error message is prompted.
Actually we're using portal as our platform (not GUI) and there's a Z* program in place for asset transfer via ABUMN. Steps producing the process are as follow:
- At first, in PO only 1 asset number is entered at account assignment (let's call it as principle). There's a limitation in our portal whereby only 1 asset can be entered in PO (due to interface from 3rd party program).
- Upon 1st GRN (partial of 6 qty), the principle asset will be used to collect the total costs then the Z* program will transferred out equally to the newly created assets.
- Then, on the subsequent GRN (partial 4 qty), again the principle asset will be used to collect the total costs, however, this is where the error message is prompted.
Is there a way to allow subsequent acquisition for the principle asset on the same value date. We understand that in MM-GRN, Posting Date is used as Asset Value Date. If only this can be changed, then our portal and Z* program will succeed.
Let me know if you need more information.
Many thanks,
AFIQ AHAMAD
