1. Master Data
1.1 Create Asset Master Record
Business Process Description OverviewThe asset master record contains all information relating to an asset that remains unchanged over a longer period of time: Technical master dataOrganizational allocations (usually time-dependent)Depreciation termsThe system stores all the values and transaction data per each asset master record. Assets can be represented differently in the FI-AA component according to their complexity. The structure of the master record is identical for all asset main numbers, asset sub-numbers and group assets. Therefore, the basic procedure for creating any of these objects is essentially the same.
Input - Required Fields Field Value / CommentsAsset Class Determines not only the asset grouping but screen layout and account
determination.Company Code The company code to which the asset is assigned.Description A useful description for identifying the asset (non-generic)Cost Center Required Depreciation Key Required for each depreciation area. These will default in based on the asset class
but can be overridden.Useful Life Required for each depreciation area. These will default in based on the asset class
but can be overridden.
Output - Results CommentsCreation of An Asset Master Record
Tips and Tricks
If you are using external number assignment, enter the new asset main number (or sub-number). If you are using internal number assignment, the system automatically assigns the number.
You cannot use a hyphen or the * symbol as part of the asset number when you use external number assignment.

2. TRANSACTIONS
2.1 Acquisition of an asset with vendor.
Business Process Procedure OverviewAsset Master records are created in transaction AS01 to represent fixed assets owned by an organization. Costs can be applied to these fixed assets through an accounts payable acquisition transaction as described here. For acquisitions that become a depreciable asset immediately or for an asset that is collecting costs over time (Assets under Construction) and is not depreciable, this accounts payable acquisition transaction can be used for two processes as follows:Direct Purchase - An asset, such as an automobile, is being purchased and immediately written onto the Books as a depreciable fixed asset. In this case, the Asset Master Record must be created ahead of time and this transaction will post charges to an Internal order for budget check and the internal order will settle the costs to the assets using settlement rulesAsset under Construction - An Asset, such as a processing plant or building is being created and costs are Collected in the Asset Master Record located in a specific asset class for Assets under Construction. In this case, the Asset Master Record must exist ahead of time and this transaction will post costs to the asset An Asset under Construction is a temporary asset and will not depreciate. It will be distributed and settled in another transaction when the asset has been completed and is to be capitalized and begin depreciating

Business Process Description Overview
You can set up the settlement profiles and then carry out the corresponding posting of the line items at a later point in time, since a separate transaction exists for the actual settlement. This transaction initiates the Settlement posting for the selected assets under construction, and creates the necessary posting documents. During this process, the system automatically separates the transfer of existing assets data from acquisitions that took place in the year of capitalization.

2.4 Capitalize Asset under Construction
Assets, such as buildings and processing facilities, are built over a period of time and have multiple costs applied to them. These assets are created in a special asset class called Assets Under Construction which acts as a temporary holding asset during construction for which no depreciation is charged. When

the asset is completed, this transaction is used to transfer the asset to the appropriate asset category(s) where depreciation can occur.
Trigger: After an Asset that has been classified as an Asset under Construction has been completed, it must be transferred to a valid asset category (capitalized) so that it can be subsequently depreciated.
Business Process Procedure Overview
This transaction is used to transfer the costs of an asset from the Asset Under Construction category to a newly created asset (or assets) in a valid asset class. It settles either all or part of the acquisition / development costs to a General Ledger Account, Cost center. Transaction AS01 (Create an Asset) must be processed prior to this transaction to create the new asset in the appropriate asset class. This transaction will then settle the costs, transfer the asset value to the new asset master, and set the capitalization date, which will control the asset’s depreciation. When this transaction is successfully completed, the asset under construction no longer contains any costs while the new asset(s) contains the settled values.
Input – Required Fields Field Value/CommentsAsset Number Asset Under Construction being capitalized
Output - Results CommentsUpdate of a new Asset Master record with capitalized values.

2.6 Asset Retirement with revenue with customer
Trigger:
Asset removal by Sale
Business Process Description Overview
Asset retirement is the removal of an asset or part of an asset from the asset portfolio. This removal of a fixed asset from the asset portfolio is posted from a bookkeeping perspective as an asset retirement. In Asset Accounting, the removal of an asset by sale, as well as any resulting revenue, can be posted in a single step. At the same time, you can choose to post to Accounts Receivable (through integration with Financial Accounting) or to a reconciliation account.
Asset sale with customerThe system enables you to post the entry to Accounts Receivable, the revenue posting and the asset retirement in one step. In the corresponding posting transaction, you must first post the revenue (A/R to revenue from asset sale), and then post the asset retirement. An indicator in the posting transaction determines that the system posts the asset retirement after the revenue posting. The prerequisite for this is in the field status group of the revenue account in Financial Accounting, to which the revenue should be posted. The "Asset retirement" field (category Asset Accounting) must be defined as a required or optional entry field in the field status group of this revenue account. When using the standard transaction types, the system automatically creates a profit posting or a loss posting as well as a revenue clearing entry in addition to the asset and accumulated depreciation correction postings. The revenue clearing entry is the same amount as the revenue posting to the account "revenue for asset sale (clearing account)" but with a reverse debit/credit indicator. This account is needed because the sale of a fixed asset is subject to value-added tax (=> automatic generation of a tax posting in Financial Accounting). Internal clearing must, however, take place without taxes.
The profit/loss postings, as well as the revenue clearing entries, are dependent on transaction type. Their automatic creation is controlled by the indicator "profit/loss from asset retirement" in the definition of the transaction type and can be deselected if required. In this case, you must manually enter the corresponding postings.

2.8 Depreciation Posting
Trigger:
Every asset transaction in the R/3 System FI-AA component immediately causes a change of the forecasted depreciation. However, it does not immediately cause an update of the depreciation and value adjustment accounts for the balance sheet and profit and loss statements. The planned depreciation is posted to the general ledger when you run the periodic depreciation posting run.
Business Process Procedure Overview
Keys automatically control the calculation and planning of depreciation, interest and revaluation in the system, or you can manually post using a special posting transaction (Planning Manual Depreciation). In both cases, planned depreciation from Asset Accounting must be periodically posted to the corresponding asset and expense accounts of the General Ledger. You carry out this posting using a batch-input session. In addition to the various depreciation types, interest and revaluation, this posting session also posts theallocation and amortization of special reserves (if a corresponding depreciation area is used).

2.9 Impairment
Trigger:
This process may become applicable if assets fail to meet the impairment test owing to recoverable value going below the carrying amount
Business Process Procedure OverviewAn asset is impaired when the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount.
Unplanned depreciation will be used for impairment of assets which will have to be provided for each asset failing
impairment test at the end of year. If in the subsequent years the assets market value has increased significantly
due to any valid reason then the impairment loss recognized for the asset in the prior accounting periods should
be reversed. This write up of the asset should not exceed the cumulative impairment. As a general rule, the system automatically determines the planned depreciation for the current fiscal year by means of depreciation keys entered in the master record. Unplanned depreciation may be required due to
unusual circumstances
Input – Required Fields Field Value/CommentsCompany Code Company code to which the asset is assigned Asset Number Number of the asset master record for which impairment is required
Asset Sub Number Sub -number of the asset master record for which impairment is required
Document Date Default is system date.Posting Date Default is system date.Period Period of pasting Transaction Type 650Amount Posted Amount of impairment Asset Value Date Default is system date.
Output - Results CommentsAPC value of the asset is reduced by the impairment amount and when write up happens subsequently the APC value increases but this write up value of the asset cannot exceed the cumulative impairment
Tips and Tricks
The transaction type in Asset Accounting classifies the business transaction. The transaction type controls various system activities when business transactions are posted..When you execute unplanned depreciation , there is not yet an accompanying FI general ledger posting document in the system.

This Process is used when Transfer of assets happen within the company as well as between legal entities of the group
Business Process Procedure OverviewWhen a transfer happens within a company, Cost centre which is responsible for the asset will be changed in
the master record manually. Since in the Asset master record, cost center is a time dependent field, any changes of cost centers for an asset can be viewed. No additional control is required. Same depreciation
rules and value will be maintained since it is just the department change.
When inter company transfer takes place accounting for profit /loss for sale will be considered for the
company selling it. In the acquiring company this could either be an addition to an existing asset or
acquisition of a new asset. New life will be determined in the acquiring company for this transferred asset
for which depreciation is calculated.
