Use

The business process "Cross-system asset transfer" is for transferring fixed assets between company codes that are in different systems or different clients.

Prerequisites

The same Customizing settings apply for cross-system asset transfer as for intercompany asset transfer within clients (refer to System Settings for Automatic Intercompany Asset Transfers). You find these system settings in the Implementation Guide for Asset Accounting under Transactions.

In addition, you have to have made the necessary entries in the ALE (application link enabling) distribution model.

Process Flow

You trigger cross-system asset transfers using the normal asset transfer transaction, just as you do for asset transfers within one client. You post from the viewpoint of the sending company code.

When you post the asset transfer (in the sending company code), you also have to enter the target company code in addition to the data for the transfer posting. If you will need to create business area balance sheets, you also have to enter a target business area. (The creation of business area balance sheets is specified in FI Customizing). The system uses the ALE distribution model in order to determine the system in which the target company code (and target business area) are located. If the target company code or target business area are not in the same system as the sending company code or sending business area, the system automatically triggers the ALE scenario.
