Assignment to Company Code

Assignment to Company Code

Use

Asset Accounting uses the same company codes as the General Ledger. However, you must further define these company codes with the specifications needed for Asset Accounting. You have to define these company codes in FI-AA Customizing before they can be used in Asset Accounting (Customizing: Organizational Structures).

FI-AA Company Code Definition

Features

The most important control feature in the Asset Accounting company code is the chart of depreciation (see Chart of Depreciation). It contains the parameters (such as, the depreciation keys) that are used for calculating asset values in a given country. Each asset company code refers to exactly one chart of depreciation (FI-AA Customizing: Organizational Structures).

In addition, you make the following specifications in FI-AA Customizing at the company code level:

Company code for number assignment (for number assignment across company codes) - see Number Assignment.

Fiscal year version (only when using a fiscal year version specifically for FI-AA - see Fiscal Years and Periods in Asset Accounting)

Depreciation area for net worth tax

Document type for posting depreciation

Settlement profile for the settlement of assets under construction

Assignment of Assets to Company Code

You must always enter a company code when you create an asset. This ensures that each asset is always uniquely assigned to a company code.

Status

The status of a company code in Asset Accounting can be defined as follows (FI-AA Customizing: Preparations for Production Startup):

Production status: Transfer of legacy asset data from your previous system is finished. You can only change values by posting.
Data transfer status: You can enter and change values using legacy data transfer. Posting is not possible.
Test status: You can change values by legacy data transfer or posting.

Reports

You can create asset reports per company code. For reports for a group concern, it is also possible to run reports on some or all company codes

Legacy Data Transfer

There is a special Customizing transaction for legacy data transfer. You use it to specify the transfer date per company code, and to specify different parameters per depreciation area (see Legacy Data Transfer).
