In SAP Business One, asset master data enables comprehensive management of all fixed assets. You can use this function to create new assets, update existing ones or delete them. As soon as an asset is activated, its depreciation details can be viewed and edited directly in the master data.
Important aspects of asset master data in SAP Business One:
1. Creating asset master data
- The first step is to create an asset master record with relevant information such as asset number, description, acquisition date, acquisition value, useful life and the depreciation method.
- The prerequisite for this is the prior activation asset accounting and the definition of asset classes, account determinations, depreciation types and depreciation areas.
- It is also possible to import master data directly from Microsoft Excel.
2. Virtual plants
- When purchasing identical assets in larger quantities, virtual assets can be created in defined quantities. SAP Business One automatically creates the corresponding master records and activates them.
- This feature significantly reduces the effort required to record large volumes of data.
3. Integration with other modules
- The asset master data is closely interlinked with modules such as financial accounting, purchasing and sales. This means that asset master records can be selected and activated directly when posting incoming invoices.
4. Data structure in the asset master data
- Fixed assets" tab: Here you will find details such as Asset class, Useful life, Depreciation typeacquisition and production costs and their history.
- Cost accounting" tabIt enables the allocation of projects and distribution rules to ensure more precise cost control.
