ABZON - Acquisition with automatic offsetting
entry
TOPIC OBJECTIVES
Business Process Procedure Overview
Background
An external asset acquisition is a business transaction resulting from the acquisition
of an asset from a business partner (in contrast to an acquisition from in-house
production).
Scenario
You can post the acquisition of a purchased asset to a clearing account rather than
using integrated posting to Accounts Payable. There are two scenarios:
1. The asset acquisition comes before the receipt of the invoice. The offsetting
entry is posted automatically. (Specify the actual net amount to be capitalized
as the acquisition amount. Regardless of the document type (gross/net)
which you use, the system does not deduct a discount here.)
2. The asset acquisition is posted after the receipt of the invoice. You posted
the invoice as an open item to a clearing account, and now you need to clear
this entry.
Prerequisites
Asset master record.
