Invoice not received or invoice posted in AP beforehand, offsetting acct cleared
Incoming invoice but w/o reference to PO
Asset posting also clears clearing acct.
Posting/activation of asset takes place in logistics
Capitalization of goods or services that are partially or completely produced in your enterprise
When posting to asset, you must enter __. This identifies the diff transactions in asset history sheet
Display planned values, book values and transaction directly in ___in print preview format
print and export on planned preview format
This allows you to display changes in value of an asset over several years at the same time in
several depreciation areas
Information automatically set in asset master record at time of first acquisition posting
System determines the start date for ordinary depreciation using (1)_ and (2) and write this
date to depreciation areas in asset master record
Is the actual date the asset is updated and determines the depreciation start date
along with depreciation key
Posting date and asset value date must be always be in the same __
System determines the planned annual depreciation based on (1) and (2)
Number range interval for assignment of FI doc numbers is defined in __
Interval maintenance can be carried out usin customizing transaction
To show correct capitalization amount on asset, you can use FI program__
to deduct cash discount amount afterwards. Correct capitalization amount
Must be used w/ every posting. Identify acquisitions, Retirements and transfer
If asset acquisition postings are not integrated, you would normally use a__, this should be
GL acct with open item management, to gurantee u can clear the acct later
Reasons for not making integrated posting
Automatic clearing program
Alternative for non-integrated posting to clear acct use transaction
Asset acquisition with MM integration
Asset Retirement
Select the __ checkmark when posting to the revenue from asset sales accouunt
Different ways of posting retirements
Values of the accounts for Revenue from asset sales and clearing asset retirement can be
shown in
Using the _ the system automatically calculates how long depreciation is for the asset
Mass retirement steps
Intracompany/Intercompany transfer
Reason for intercompany code transfers
The system uses __ by default for intercompany asset transfers, determine the transaction type
w/ w/c the transfer is recorded in source and target assets
Use this to determined w/c entry fields should be transferred from source asset to target asset
Transfer function can be used when:
Both co. codes belong to same company (w/in c.code)SAP refers to a transfer of relationship type__, both co.codes
are to be considered "not legally independent"
Between legally independent org. unit , this arrangement can defined using relationship type
Is used to control how the values are transferred from source to target c.code
This method transfer the historical values of the asset to target company code
when you use this method or the new value method you have to enter sales revenue
If there is no gain or loss on asset retirement , the sales revenue equals the __ of the asset
Using this __The net book valaue (source code) is capitalized on the target asset
Method, the system capitalizes the amount of sales revenue on the target asset
If c.codes are assigned to diff. COD, contain diff DA but have same function . In this, you must define _before asset transfer
Cross-company DA do not have their own control parameters. Instead they consist solely of __, uniform throughout client
If Cross-co. DA are not defined the system enters an __as generic entry
Define cross-co. DA for all other depreciation areas that are transferred even the __are the same
SAP system assumes in case of transfer of relationship type 2 revenue will not be posted, otherwise implement using
