Mass Transfer
Purpose
If you want to change the company code of a large portion of the asset portfolio (such as a plant or a building), it is necessary to post the transfer of all the individual assets which make up the whole. Usually the change of a company code results from organizational restructuring of the enterprise. Since the number of affected assets can be very large, the FI-AA component makes it possible to make the necessary postings using mass processing.
Features
Mass transfer, like mass retirement, is based on the Workflow functions of the R/3 System (refer to
Mass Retirement). The selection of the assets is carried out using a worklist, as it is for mass retirement. When you create the worklist, you have to enter the purpose as asset transfer. You also have to make these entries needed for posting the mass transfer:In addition, you can enter one target asset for the transfer. The system transfers the values of all sending assets to this one asset. If you do not enter a target asset, the system creates one receiving asset in the target company code for each sending asset, and transfers the values of one sending asset to each new asset.
