Customizing Accountable
Properties 
Use
There are certain customizing settings you must make before you can use accountable properties function in the system.
Prerequisites
You need to have installed, configured, and activated Materials Management (MM).
Procedure
The order described below is just one way you can operate this procedure. Provided you make all the necessary settings, the order in which you do so is not important.
To prepare the system for accountable properties processing, proceed as follows:
...
1. In the US Federal Government part of the Implementation Guide (IMG), choose Integration ® Asset Management ® Accountable Property ® General Settings for Accountable Properties.
The Change View: “Accountable Property Configuration”: Overview screen appears.
2. Make the following entries:
¡ Company Code
¡ Accountable Property Name
¡ Date from
Enter the date from which these settings are to apply.
¡ Sensitive Property Group ID
¡ Low Val. and High Val.
Enter the minimum and maximum amounts for items to be considered accountable properties.
3. Save your entries.
4. With the general settings now made, you have to enter more specific details. The first step is to define the transaction types. To do this, go back to the IMG and choose Accountable Properties ®Transaction Types.
The Change View: “Accountable Property Transaction Types”: Overview screen appears.
5. Make the following entries:
¡ Company Code
¡ Transaction type
Qualifying values are posted with this transaction type.
¡ Negative transaction type
If the final value is less than the value you posted with the transaction type, the difference is posted with this “negative” transaction types.
If the value is more, the difference is posted using the same transaction type.
You post a purchase order for $100. This amount is posted using the transaction type 1. The equivalent negative transaction type is 2. One of the following might then happen:
· When the invoice arrives, it is for $90. A posting of $10 is made with negative transaction type 2.
· When the invoice arrives, it is for $110. A posting of $10 is made with transaction type 1.
6. Save your entries and return to the IMG. Choose Account Assignment Categories.
The Change View: “Account Assignment Cat. and Item Cat. for Accountable Property Configuration”: Overview screen appears, listing the account assignment category + item category combinations defined in Materials Management (MM).
7. Stipulate whether each combination is to be an accountable property or a leased item.
8. Save your entries and return to the IMG. Choose Movement Types.
9. In the resulting overview, stipulate whether each movement type can be used to create accountable property or not by checking the Goods Accepted or Goods Rejected box (not both) in each case.
10. Save your entries.
11. There are also two Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) you can use to vary some of the settings you have entered:
¡ BAdI: Allow Further Logic in Determining the Accountable Property
This BAdI uses the data so far accumulated by the program to control how whether something is accountable property is determined.
¡ BAdI: Change Values to be Transmitted to the Asset Record
Use this BAdI to change the values passed to the asset master record in Asset Accounting.
