Quantity field in Asset Master

[Former Member]

Dear All,

We have created one Asset e.g. "Drawframe" which includes the total acqusition value of 10 Drawframes i.e. if 1 drawframe is of 1000 Rs/- then we have included 10,000 Rs (1000*10) in single asset "Drawframe".

Now my query is:

When I sell one drawframe then how would I be able account it in Asset accounting, because I have a single asset with combined drawframe values.

I saw quantity field in the Asset Master. Please let me know if the use of this field in my case.

Regards

Hi,

have a car. This is your fixed asset. Later you bought nice&shining spoiler to your car. You do not want to create new asset master record, because spoiler belongs to ... the total cost of computers and put the quantity "10 pieces" in it. BTW.

For Integration with MM, so the quantity field of asset master data fills with materials quantity that was posted to asset (in MB1A tcode).

hi

check out this SAP explanation for that field

Quantity

Quantity that the system manages on the asset

Use

For assets in which a base unit of measure is entered, you can enter a quantity when you post acquisitions and retirements. The system then updates the asset according to this quantity when you post, based on the debit/credit flag of the transaction posted.

In addition, you can already specify a quantity when you create a new asset master record. However, any quantity you enter in master data maintenance (such as 1) is added to any quantity that is entered in the acquisition posting.

Hi,

While retiring asset you can partially retire asset by specifying Amount, or % or qualtity. So you can retire 1 quantity, you can do it in tcodes ABAON or ABAVN.
