Internal Service Requests in Asset Accounting 

Use

There are two scenarios for internal service requests for Asset Accounting. One is a scenario for creating an asset master record, and the other is a scenario for changing an asset master record. You find these in Customizing for Cross-Application Components. Choose Cross-Application Components ® Internet/Intranet Services ® Internal Service Request ® Definition of Scenarios with Specific Customizing ® Request for Master Data Change. The names of the definitions are SAS1 and SAS2. You can use these scenarios in the Workplace as Employee Self-Service, or in your enterprise’s Intranet. For more information, refer to Preparing Internal Service Requests in the SAP Library for Cross-Application Components.

There are two forms available for the two scenarios: AS01_ISR and AS02_ISR. You can set up these forms as best suits your needs. For information on using forms, refer to Definition of a Form in the SAP Library for Cross-Application Components.

Features

A predefined form is provided for each of the scenarios. Typically these forms are filled out in the Web browser. When the form is sent, the system generates a message or a task in the inbox of the responsible person defined in the scenario. That person can display and change the form by accessing it from the message or task. If the person processing the message determines that the contents of the form are correct, then the asset master record can be automatically created or changed. In the case of an asset being created, this is allowed only once.

·         Create asset:  The form has to contain a valid company code. If the asset class is not known, it can be omitted. If an asset class is entered, the system checks its validity. If you enter a post-capitalization, then the capitalization date has to be in a closed fiscal year. If an asset subnumber is to be created, the asset main number for it has to be entered.

·         Change asset: The form has to contain a valid company code and a valid asset number. Then you can load the modifiable data by choosing Master Data. If you change the Valid from or Valid to fields, then a new interval is automatically added to the time-dependent data in the asset master record, when the processor approves the change.
