Editing Master Data: Asset Data

A property or building can be assigned more than one asset. To specify the account determination, you have to identify one of the assets as leading.

Caution If you want to access evaluations for depreciations and retirement postings of objects in the RE information system, you have to assign an asset to the objects.

Prerequisites

Customizing settings

FI-AA is activated in Real Estate Customizing

A main usage type (for the purpose of account determination) is set for the leading asset ( Main Usage Types); the account determination for the debit position of lease-outs may depend on the main usage type; if no asset is assigned to the building or property, the main usage type is derived from the asset class of the leading asset according to the rule defined in Customizing

The asset class of the leading asset is set as Real estate

Master data of leading asset

The number of the business entity is identical to the asset number of the leading asset.

Enter your required assets in the Asset field using Multiple selection.

The dialog box Assigned assets is displayed, offering the following editing options:
