Transaction Type

The transaction type is an addition to the asset

posting keys 70 (debit) and 75
(credit). It must be included when
posting to an asset account. The
transaction type is necessary for
AA because it specifies exactly where the
asset posting is listed
on the asset history sheet. The transaction type is the
distinguishing
characteristic of the various asset postings.

Some asset postings

are as follows:

Buying and selling

Credit memos

Acquisitions from internal production

 Adjustment postings

Retirements without revenue

Depreciation and appreciation

Transaction Type

Asset Acquisition
Asset transactions
(acquisitions, retirements) can be posted in various ways to
meet
the organizational and business requirements of the company. In assets
accounting, you can post in the following ways:

Without a vendor or a purchase order:

The offsetting
entry is made to a G/L clearing account.

To a vendor:

There is no reference to a purchase order.

With materials management:

Use the following functions:

purchase order, goods receipt, and invoice
receipt.

When posting to accounts of two subsidiary ledgers, that

is, to the asset and to
the vendor, the reconciliation accounts of
both subsidiary ledgers are updated
in the general ledger.
For an integrated asset acquisition posting,
the system divides the business
transaction into an operational part
and a valuating part:

For the operational part (vendor invoice), the system posts

a document
valid for all accounting principles against the technical
clearing account
for integrated asset acquisitions.

For each valuating part (asset posting with capitalization

of the asset),
the system generates a separate document that is valid
only for the
given accounting principle. This document is also posted
against the
technical clearing account for integrated asset acquisitions.

In this way, the system ensures that the technical clearing

account for
integrated asset acquisitions has a balance of zero (for
each accounting
principle and account assignment object) for every
accounting principle in
the chart of depreciation. So that the system
can ensure the zero balance,
manual posting cannot be made to the
account.

Manage Fixed Asset

SAP Fiori App: Display Asset Worklist

The Display Asset Worklist
app provides an overview of the fixed asset masters
that you are responsible for. Your area of responsibility can be defined by a
flexible
set of filter values for company code, asset class, and other asset
attributes.

With the Manage Fixed Asset app, all the data for
an asset is in one place. A
graphical representation of the asset's
life cycle provides an overview of the
asset’s status and allows you to adjust the valuation. Key figures, such as
acquisition and
production cost (APC), accumulated depreciation, and netbook
value,
help you to understand the asset valuation in detail. The key figures
also
help you to determine why unexpected value changes have occurred,
for
example when special depreciation has been posted accidentally
for the fixed
accident.

To access the Manage Fixed Asset app,

open the Display Asset Master Worklist
app. Select a fixed asset
master data and navigate to Manage Fixed Assets
using the link list
or the navigation arrow.
