The system capitalizes the asset, creates line items, and updates the value fields of the asset.
When you post the invoice, if there are differences between the amount posted and the
amount of the invoice, the system automatically corrects the APC amount on the asset. The
differences are distinguished as follows:

New acquisition
In this case, the system does not create line items and update values until the invoice is
received. The system also carries out capitalization at the time of the invoice receipt. The
system, however, uses the date of the goods receipt as the capitalization date.
In this case, the goods receipt only, and not the invoice receipt, triggers the update of the
values on the fixed asset. If the invoice amount differs from the price on the order, the
difference is posted to the asset by the goods receipt.
The system capitalizes the asset, creates line items, and updates the value fields.
You determine whether the goods receipt is valuated or non-valuated by means of the
account assignment category (A = asset).

You can also maintain the control indicator in the detail screen of the purchase order item.
It makes sense to post the goods receipt valuated, since the date of the goods receipt usually
determines the moment the asset belongs to the fixed assets of the enterprise.

Accounts
When you post a valuated goods receipt, the system posts a debit to the asset and a credit
to the 'Goods receipt/invoice receipt' clearing account. You have to enter this clearing
account in Customizing. In Customizing for Materials Management, choose: Prepare
Automatic Clearing. This account is cleared when the invoice receipt is posted.

When you post a non-valuated goods receipt, the system makes an integrated posting at
invoice receipt (debit to asset and credit to vendor). The system does not create any
accounting document at the time of the goods receipt in this case, only an MM document.
Cash Discount
During the payment run, differences may arise between the amount paid and the
capitalization amount, because too little or too much cash discount was deducted. In this
case, you follow the same procedure as for an integrated acquisition posting, and make
adjustments to APC using collective processing in General Ledger Accounting. choose Profit
and Loss Adjustment.
