AC305 Lesson: Asset Acquisition
In the definition of the document type, you specify, amongst other things, the
account types allowed when making entries with a particular document type.
YoualsodefinewhetheranFIdocumentthatwascreatedwiththecorresponding
document type is posted “Gross” or “Net”.
Hint: In this case, the “Gross” or “Net” descriptions do not refer to
taxentries, butinsteadto theoption thatthesystemalsoautomatically
calculatesthecashdiscountamountanddeductsitfromthecapitalization
amountoftheasset(=>netdocumenttype)oralternativelycapitalizes
theassetwithoutthecashdiscountamount(=>grossdocumenttype).
TheSAPStandardSystemincludesthefollowingstandarddocumenttypes, for
example:
• Gross documentation types AA and KR
• Net documentation types AN and KN
Classic general ledger accounting or new general ledger WITHOUT
documentsplitting: Youposttheintegratedreceiptasagrossdocumenttype,but
thentakeacashdiscountdeductionatthetimeofpayment. Toshowthecorrect

Figure 43: Transaction Types
Transactiontypesmustbeusedwitheveryposting. Transactiontypesidentify
acquisitions,retirements,andtransfers,amongstotherthings.
Asset history sheet reports and other FI-AA reports use the transaction type
to identify the different kinds of transactions and display them separately (for
example, thetransactiontypespecifieswherethevaluechangeisshowninthe
assethistorysheet: asaretirementofaprior-yearacquisition,orofacurrent-year
acquisition).
If required, you can limit transaction types to specific depreciation areas, for
example,transactiontype030: Acquisitioninthegroupdepreciationarea
You can alsodefineyour owntransactiontypes. However, inourexperience,
SAP provides all necessary transaction types in the standard system. The
transaction types are stored according to transaction type in asset accounting
customizing, in Transactions, and can be edited/copied/created there. Every
transactiontypeisassignedtoatransactiontypegroup-thiscannotbechanged
by individual customersandispredefinedbySAP.

Figure 44: Asset Acquisition with Clearing Account / Acquisition with
Automatic Offsetting Entry
If asset acquisition postings are not integrated, you would normally use
a clearing account. This should be a general ledger account with open item
managementtoguaranteethatyoucancleartheaccount(later).
Reasons for not making integrated postings:
• The invoice arrived before the asset
• The asset has already been delivered and should beused, but the invoice
has not been delivered.
OnepostingismadetotheclearingaccountfromAccountsPayable(=>posting
record: debit clearing account, debit tax, credit vendor), and one from Asset
Accounting (=>posting record: debit toasset, credittoclearing account). The
sequence is determined by the transaction.
The clearing account is cleared in a separate step in the general ledger, either
manuallyorbyrunningtheautomaticclearingprogramSAPF124.
Another alternativefor non-integratedpostingsis toclear theclearing account
whenenteringthesecondpartoftheaboveposting. Forthisprocess,pleaseuse
transactioncodeF-91ortheapplicationpathinAssetAccounting: Postings→
Acquisitions→ExternalAcquisition→ClearingOffsettingEntry.
From Release 4.6, the automatic offsetting entry was simplified further and
enhanced. You are now able to:
• Createanewassetmaster record when posting
• Postseveralexistingassetmasterrecordsinonestep.

The first processstepscouldproceedasfollows:
• CreatePurchaseRequisition(=>PReq) (optional)
• Create Asset Master Record if required
• CreatePurchaseOrder(fromPReq)withassignmentcategoryA(=>A=

inthe ItemDetail screen area. Aneven greater degreeof integration can
be achieved if you create the asset master record in the purchase order
transaction.
• GoodsreceiptWhenyouenterthepurchaseorder,youdeterminewhether
theasset isposteddirectlytoAssetAccountingwhenthegoodsreceiptis
