SAP REFX: Link between the Asset Master and RE-FX

Asset assignment is only informational and is available for evaluations in RE reporting.

Assets can be assigned to business entities, buildings, properties and rental objects.

When you create an asset from the RE master data dialog, the following data is automatically transferred:

1. Company code
2. Text for Real Estate object

You can transfer additional data using a dialog box or by directly going to the master data dialog.

In Asset Accounting, Real Estate objects can be used as account assignment objects for depreciation. To do this, enter the corresponding Real Estate object under the time-dependent data in the asset master record. This field is not automatically filled when the asset is created from the RE master data maintenance.

If you want to use the Real Estate object as a depreciation account assignment, proceed as follows:

Release the Real Estate object from the RE master data dialog for account assignment and choose Save.

Manually maintain the Real Estate account assignment in the time-dependent data of the asset master record. Various input helps (F4) are available for the assignment, including one that analyzes the assignments for Real Estate objects. Note that only the values of Real Estate objects released for assignment are returned.

The use of the Real Estate object as an account assignment for depreciation is only possible if the corresponding settings are made in Customizing of Asset Accounting:

--> Master Data screen layout: Under "time-dependent data"

--> Integration with the general ledger :

 1. Field status variant of asset G/L accounts
 2. Additional account assignment objects
     ---- Activate account assignment objects: IMKEY active
     ---- Define account assignment types for account assignment objects and make the relevant settings for IMKEY.
     ---- Business entities, buildings, properties and rental objects are possible as account assignment objects.
