Assignment of Assets

Use

By assigning assetsto profit centers, you can represent asset portfolios, the profits and losses due to the sale of assets, and accrued depreciation and interest on profit centers.

An asset is always transferred implicitly to Profit Center Accounting via an assigned internal order or cost center. Where the asset is assigned to both objects, it is transferred to the profit center contained in the master data for the internal order.
