Asset acquisitions can be posted during the processing of purchase orders in the Materials Management (MM) component. It is possible to post a purchase order or a purchase requisition with account assignment to an asset. In order to make this assignment, however, the asset already has to have been created. Then the asset is automatically capitalized when the goods receipt or invoice receipt is posted.

When you create a purchase order, you have to enter an account assignment category. Entering account assignment category "A" tells the system that you are entering a purchase order for a fixed asset. It is also specified in the account assignment category whether the goods receipt should be valuated or not. (If the goods receipt is valuated, the asset is capitalized at the time of the goods receipt. If it is non-valuated, the asset is capitalized at the time of the invoice receipt.)

Standard settings

In the standard system, account assignment category "A" is defined for valuated goods receipt.

Recommendation

In most countries, both commercial and tax laws require that the asset be capitalized at the time of the goods receipt.

Activities

  1. Check the definition of account assignment category "A".
  2. Set the indicator "GR non-valuated", if you want to post non-valuated goods receipts.
