LOG ON:
Sap R/3 systems are client systems. The client enables you to run several
business operations at the same time in one SAP R/3 system.
Client is, in organizational terms, an independent unit in the system.
Clients have their own data environment and therefore their own user
master and transaction data, assigned user master records and chart off
accounts and specific customizing parameters.
So that you log on to SAP R/3 system, you must have a master record
created for you for corresponding client. For reasons of access protection,
you must enter a password when you log onto the sap system. The
system does not display the password you enter.
SAP R/3 system is available in several languages. Use the language input
field to select the logon language for each session.

TOPIC OBJECTIVES
Business Process Procedure Overview
Background
A fixed asset is defined as an individual economic good that it is recognized in
the balance sheet at the time of closing, and is in the long-term service of the
enterprise.
In order to make it easier for the user to create, maintain and evaluate master
data, the varied individual information is structured according to its area of use
and the relevant functions in the system. The asset master record consists of
two main parts:
1. General Master Data: This part of the master record contains concrete
information about the fixed asset.
2. Data for Calculating Asset Values: You can specify depreciation terms
in the asset master record for each depreciation area in the chart of
depreciation. In order for you to make these specifications, the master
record contains an overview of the depreciation areas. In addition, there
is a detailed display available for each depreciation area. If there are
depreciation areas that are not needed for a specific asset, it is possible
to deactivate these depreciation areas at the asset level.
Scenario
This system task is used to create an asset master record.
Prerequisites
A Capital Investment Order with Budget should have been created in
preparation for assignment to the asset master record.
PROCEDURAL STEPS

reference asset, the values from the fields of the master record of the
reference asset are proposed as default values.
Note: Number of similar assets; This function enables you to create multiple
similar assets in one master transaction. These assets initially differ from each
other only by their main and/or sub-number. When you save, you can also
enter a description and inventory number for each individual master record.
This function does not allow you to create multiple assets that automatically

TOPIC OBJECTIVES
Business Process Procedure Overview
Background
The "master data maintenance" component is used for recording the master
data of your fixed assets on an individual asset basis. A fixed asset is defined as
an individual economic good that it is recognized in the balance sheet at the
time of closing, and is in the long-term service of the enterprise.
In order to make it easier for the user to create, maintain and evaluate master
data, the varied individual information is structured according to its area of use
and the relevant functions in the system. The asset master record consists of
two main parts:
1. General Master Data: This part of the master record contains concrete
information about the fixed asset.
2. Data for Calculating Asset Values: You can specify depreciation terms
in the asset master record for each depreciation area in the chart of
depreciation. In order for you to make these specifications, the master
record contains an overview of the depreciation areas. In addition, there
is a detailed display available for each depreciation area. If there are
depreciation areas that are not needed for a specific asset, it is possible
to deactivate these depreciation areas at the asset level.
Scenario
Certain assignments during the life cycle of an asset change frequently, and
therefore a record should be kept of the changes, both for reporting and for
valuation needs. Examples are the assignment of an asset to a cost center, or
multiple-shift usage of an asset during a certain time period.
You can store the following assignments with different time intervals:
1) Cost center 2) Plant 3) Cost order
Data is stored in an unbroken sequence showing the exact day, with a "valid
from" and "valid to" date. When you access a master record, the time-
dependent data valid for the date of the request is displayed. If the assignment
is different in other time periods, this is designated by a history indicator after
the field. Using the "Field breakdown" function, you display the entries for a
given field at the different intervals.
Prerequisites
None.

TOPIC OBJECTIVES
The balance sheet should disclose the different phases in which the Assets are;
therefore, it is necessary to manage the asset as a separate object or asset
master record during the construction phase. The activity that records the
change from Phase 1 to Phase 2 is called "capitalization of the asset under
construction". The asset under construction (AuC) can be managed in the
system in two different ways, depending on the types of functions that you need.
The AuC can be either a normal asset record, or a master record with line item
management. Before an asset can be “settled” to another asset / object, a
distribution rule is assigned to the asset master record.
Scenario
The transfer from the AuC to completed fixed assets can be handled in one of
two ways:
Summary transfer from a normal asset master record to the receiver assets
(transaction type 348/349)
Line item settlement of an asset under construction that has line item
management. The assignment of a distribution rule is illustrated in this system
task.
Prerequisites

Background
An asset that you produce in-house has two stages in its life that are relevant
for accounting from the point of view of your company:
1. Under construction phase
2. Useful life (on commissioning of the asset)
Balance sheet should disclose the different phases of the asset. Therefore, it is
necessary to manage the asset as a separate object or asset master record
during the construction phase. The activity that records the change from phase
1 to phase 2 is called "capitalization of the asset under construction" . The asset
under construction (AuC) can be managed in the system in two different ways,
depending on the types of functions that you need. The AuC can be either a
normal asset record, or a master record with line item management. Before an
asset can be “settled” to another asset / object, a distribution rule is assigned to
the asset master record.
Scenario
The transfer from the asset under construction to completed fixed assets can be
handled in one of two ways:
Summary transfer from a normal asset master record to the receiver assets
(transaction type 348/349)
Line item settlement of an asset under construction that has line item
management. (Illustrated here)
Prerequisites
Asset master records with respective properties should exist.
AuC with Line management is required for using the transactions of distribution
of line items and settlement.

TOPIC OBJECTIVES
Background
Using intracompany asset transfer, you transfer a fixed asset, or an asset
component, to a different asset master record. The target asset has to be in the
same company code as the sending asset.
Scenario
Intracompany transfer may be necessary for one of the following reasons:
1. An asset was created in the wrong asset class. Since you cannot change
the asset class in the asset master data, you have to transfer the asset to
a new master record.
2. You split up an asset or move part of an asset (transfer from asset to
asset).
3. You settle an asset under construction and transfer it to a finished asset.
This procedure is described in detail in Settlement of an Asset under
