Fixed Asset handling in Internal Sales transactions
In Internal sales between divisions, the handling of Fixed Assets (FA) depends on whether the asset requirement is in the sending division or the receiving division. These scenarios show how FA is handled in different divisions:
- FA in the sending division
The item is handled as FA in the sending or receiving division. The standard processes function correctly in this scenario.
- FA in the receiving division
If the item is FA in the sending division and must also be FA in the receiving division, you must register it through the purchase order (PO).
Note: You cannot register the item as FA in the receiving division by using '44- Move to fixed asset' in 'Equipment/Serialized Item. Open' (MMS240).You must set up the '300 Fixed asset type' in 'Purchase Order Type. Open' (PPS095).
- No FA in the sending division
If the item is not an FA in the sending division, you can register it as a fixed asset in the receiving division without restrictions.
To register the FA, select '44- Move to fixed asset' in (MMS240) or set up '300 Fixed asset type' in (PPS095).
This table shows the different scenarios in FA handling in either the sending division or receiving division and their corresponding activation methods:
Scenario | Registration method | Is the scenario valid? |
---|---|---|
FA in the sending division | n/a | Yes |
FA in receiving division through PO and the '300 Fixed asset type' in (PPS095) | Immediate registration | Yes |
FA in receiving division through late activation in (MMS240) | Select '44- Move to fixed asset' in (MMS240) | No, this scenario is not valid if FA exists in the sending division. |
No FA in sending division | Select '44- Move to fixed asset' in (MMS240) or PO | Yes |
