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) 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. The assets are selected using a worklist, as is the case for mass retirement. When you create the worklist, you have to enter asset transfer as the purpose. 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.

In the standard system, the system assigns one new main asset number for every transferred asset; it does not consider subnumbers. To keep the relationships between the individual assets during the transfer, you have the following options:

●      Keep the original number structure

You can specify that assets with the same main number are assigned the same new main number during the transfer. The system assigns the subnumbers sequentially, without considering any gaps in the original subnumber structure.

To use this function, you select the Keep Number Structurecheckbox.

In executing this function, the system considers only those assets that are in the worklist. This means that if you process assets with the same main number in different worklists, then the system assigns a new main number for each of the worklists.

●      Keep the original main number

You can specify that assets keep their original main number during the asset transfer. To do this, you can use the Business Add-In (BAdI) Control Number Assignment for Mass Transfer (BADI_FIAA_NUMBER). The system assigns the subnumbers sequentially, without considering any gaps in the original subnumber structure.

To use this function, activate the implementation of the BAdI and select the Keep Number Structure field.

Keeping the original main number is only possible if the asset transfer is within a company code.
