Assignment to Plant/Location/Address 

Use

The meanings of the plant and location organizational units are primarily specified in the SAP logistics components.

Prerequisites

You maintain plants and locations in Customizing. Choose Enterprise Structure.

Features

Plant

Generally, the plant is a plant location or branch. The plant has no asset accounting relevance, but it can be used as a sort and selection criterion for reports. You can assign a fixed asset to one plant for a set time in its asset master record. By changing the asset master record, you can change the assignment to a different plant.

Location

The location is handled the same as the plant. In addition to a plant, you can make a time-dependent assignment of the asset to a location.

Address

In the Customizing definition of the location, you can also specify an address. Using this method, you can indirectly assign an address to an asset. The comprehensive address data consists mainly of

·        Street address

·        PO box

·        Information for communication (such as telephone number)

Since the address is linked to the location, all assets with the same location must have the same address. You can obtain reports related to the address using a standard report in the FI‑AA Information System (refer to Asset Lists). You can display the address in the asset master record, on the Time-dependent data tab page.

You can use the address to assist in determining net worth tax burden in the USA.
