Master Data
AS01 -
Functionality
A fixed asset is defined as an individual economic good that it is recognized in the balance sheet
at the time of closing, and is in the long-term service of the enterprise.
In order to make it easier for the user to create, maintain and evaluate master data, the varied
individual information is structured according to its area of use and the relevant functions in the
system. The asset master record consists of two main parts:
1. General Master Data: This part of the master record contains concrete information about
the fixed asset.
2. Data for Calculating Asset Values: You can specify depreciation terms in the asset master
record for each depreciation area in the chart of depreciation. In order for you to make
these specifications, the master record contains an overview of the depreciation areas. In
addition, there is a detailed display available for each depreciation area. If there are
depreciation areas that are not needed for a specific asset, it is possible to deactivate
these depreciation areas at the asset level.
Scenario
This system task is used to create an asset master record.
Requirements
A Capital Investment Order with Budget should have been created in preparation for assignment
to the asset master record.

default values.
Note: Number of similar assets; This function enables you to create multiple similar
assets in one master transaction. These assets initially differ from each other only by
their main and/or sub-number. When you save, you can also enter a description and
inventory number for each individual master record.
This function does not allow you to create multiple assets that automatically have the
same long text..

Functionality
The term "asset" is used for simple assets, as well as for complex large-scale assets that consist
of a number of component assets. The data structure of the system, with a 12 character alpha-
numeric main asset number and a 4 character sub-number, allows both. The main asset number
represents the asset as a whole. Parts of assets can be represented by different sub-numbers.
Features
Every master record is automatically created with at least one sub-number, even if no sub-assets
exist. The system marks the first master record as an asset main number master record. When
you use internal sub-number assignment, this main number has sub-number "0000". You can
create additional sub-numbers for this main number master record. The system manages values
for each sub-number for every individual depreciation area in year segments. The individual
transactions are posted directly to the sub-numbers as line items.
Scenario
This system task is used to create an asset sub-number.
Requirements

Depreciation
Purpose : This transaction is used to process depreciation on the assets which are either already
existing or the assets which are created new in the system. This process of depreciation should be carried
out at the end of the period that means either at end of the quarter or at the end of the year. This is a
period end closing exercise. Depreciation run can be executed for a period only once. It is advised that, at
the end of the period when all the transaction pertaining to assets gets over, this run is executed.
We can post two type of depreciation :
1. Planned Depreciation
2. Manual Depreciation
• Unpalnned Depreciation for Singal Assets
• Unplanned Depreciation for Multi Assets – BDC Configue for Shiftwise Depreciation.
Planned Depreciation :

Select Reason for

Posting (*)
Now, Here it is
always advisable first
Depreciation run
Should be in Test
Run Mode after
checking the data in
test Mode execute
without tick (√) of test
run.
(*) Reason for posting:
⇒ You should select “Planned posting run”, which requires that depreciation from previous period was
normally posted. During a regular posting run of this kind, the system does not allow you to limit the run
to particular assets.

⇒ “Repeat run” is to be used in case there are some new assets created after the depreciation run for the
last period posted. the depreciation on those assets will be calculated by executing the repeat run &
Same in case of re-posting of incorrect asset depreciation. The system will not calculate depreciation
for all the asset again when in the normal course the system has already calculated depreciation and
posted the same in the system, so in case of repeat run only for specific new asset we will execute the
depreciation run. Repeat run is executed in the similar manner as the normal run. That Function only
use at Corporate level.
⇒ “Restart depreciation posting run which is indicator for depreciation posting run terminated for
technical reasons and changes had already been made to the database, you have to restart the
program in restart mode. Using the restart mode ensures that all system activities that were interrupted
by the termination are repeated. A restart run should therefore only be performed in certain cases and
cannot be started in a test mode.
⇒ “Unplanned Posting Run” If, for whatever reason, you want to skip over one or more posting periods,
you can do this by specifying an unplanned posting run. The system then creates postings for all the
periods that were skipped, as well as for the period entered. The posting period that you specify,
however, must fit into the posting cycle. If you specify period 7 for a quarterly posting cycle, for
example, no posting occurs.
Depreciation Run for Planned Posting :
After Checking the data in Test Run go back and remove the tick (√) from Test Run than to go to
programme tab and select ‘’ Execute in Background’’ OR Press ‘’F9’’ to Execute the Depreciation posting
programme.

Next Step : Enter the required data on the screens displayed.

Result
The planned depreciation is posted to the accounts defined in Customizing. Note that the system always
creates collective documents (not individual documents for each asset) when posting depreciation.
Manual / Unplanned Depreciation : This transaction is used to process unplanned

depreciation. Unplanned depreciation is like manually posting any depreciation, which is pertaining to past
years and the same has not been posted . The system will post depreciation separately besides the
ordinary depreciation, which it posts on processing depreciation run. Manual corrections to the values like
unplanned depreciation is made as a posting in asset accounting thus the accounting document display
will not be possible in this transaction. The document is an internal asset accounting document hence the
same cannot be seen as FI document. But when the asset is displayed the unplanned depreciation will be
displayed as values adjusted. This unplanned depreciation gets posted when the next depreciation run is
carried out.
