OVERVIEW
Business Process Description Overview
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:
General Master Data: This part of the master record contains concrete information about the fixed asset.
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.
The below transactions will be covered in the following pages:
