Asset Accounting No Range

[Former Member]

Hi Friends.

When we define document types and no ranges for Asset Accounting, why we should select the No Range as External?

Though we select the no range as External, how the system is assigning the numbers when we run depreciation etc.,?

Please clarify and thanks in advance.

Regards.

Hi,

When depreciation is run in Asset Accounting it creates its own document number. In order to keep the same document number in FI too, in FI we configure that as external which is passed on from Asset Accounting.

This ease in reconciliation and tracking if required in future.

Hope this answers the query. If yes, please assign points and close the thread.

Hello

An asset number identifies the asset.

Two types: External - User Assigns / Internal - System assigns.

Normally each asset class would have seperate number range.

In external user can assign any number, need not be consecutive.

In internal, system assigns in a sequence.

In external do not use hyphens or asterisks.

Alphanumeric only in external.

Number ranges are company code dependent. But cross company code settings can be configured.

An asset number can have a maximum of 12 digits.

In the event of depreciation, there is hardly any impact on how you maintain your number ranges.

Hi,

You need not to follow the serial. You could assign the number you want from the range.

System could track and post the dep. to the respective assets.

We select number as external becoz FI is an external module to AA.When AA documents are created number is assigned to them externally from FI module.
