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 Asset Accounting (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 SAP System (refer to Mass Retirement). The assets are selected using a worklist, as is the case for mass retirement. When you create the worklist, you have to enter the purpose as asset transfer. You also have to make the following entries needed for posting the mass transfer:

·        Posting date

·        Transfer variant

·        Revenue

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 a receiving asset in the target company code for each sending asset, and transfers the values of each sending asset to a new asset.

 

Only main asset numbers are created automatically in the target company code.  During a mass transfer, therefore, subnumbers are transferred to main numbers.
