Intercompany Asset Transfers in FICO

Purpose

Asset transfers involve the transfer of an asset between two companies (company codes) of the same corporate group. An intercompany transfer within a corporate group may be due to:

· A change of physical location that requires the asset to be assigned to a new company code.

· A change to the organizational structure of the corporate group that requires the existing assignment of the asset to be changed.

In both of these cases, you can not change the assignment of the asset to the company code through master record maintenance. For each asset that is to be transferred, you require a new asset master record (or an existing one for partial transfers) in the receiving company code. You can retain the identity of the asset using the inventory number in the asset master record.

The system provides you with a method that allows you to automate these activities to a large extent. With this method, the transfer is posted only on the sender company code. The posting in the target company code is executed automatically by the system. If a new asset needs to be created in the target company code, you can specify the asset class and other important master data in the relevant dialog box.

In this IDES process, you execute four transfers between company code 1000 and company code 2000, each with a different transfer variant.
