You only need to carry out this activity

  • If your cost accounting extends across company codes (several company codes belong to one controlling area) and
  • You want account assignment of cost accounting depreciation from Asset Accounting to cost centers that are in different company codes than the asset.

You can assign each asset to a cost center in the asset master record. Account assignment then takes place to this cost center during depreciation posting. When you enter a cost center in the asset master record, the standard system checks if this cost center exists in the same company code as the asset. You are not allowed to enter a cost center in a different company code.

In this step, you can make this check less strict. The system then only checks whether the cost center exists in the given controlling area. This change means that you can then assign cost centers in different company codes to assets.

Example

Asset: 10000
Company code of the asset: 0001
Cost center in the asset: 369
Company code of cost center 369: 0003

The system posts the cost-accounting depreciation to cost center 369, although it does not belong to the same company code as the asset.

Note

There is another consequence of making this system setting. It is then no longer possible to have account assignment, neither online nor periodically, of revenue or expenses (such as gain/loss from asset sales) from asset transactions to CO objects (cost center, order).

Standard settings

The standard system checks whether cost centers for assets exist in the company code of the asset.

Activities

If required, specify that the system does not make this mandatory check that the cost center is in the same company code as the asset. You make this specification per company code.

You have to take additional steps if you want to have automatic statistical posting of asset acquisitions to an investment order that is in a different company code than the asset.
