Hi,
I will try to explain my scenario. We want to control the budget cost center and asset class level. Cost center equal to fund center and asset class equal to commitment item. Each deparment can purchase any asset class. For example, IT department can purchase fixture or software. The both asset class fixture and software has different class. I will use field evaulation group and create some keys for that. For instance, 1001 - IT Department fixture and 1001 IT department software and 2001 Planing department fixture and 2002 Planing department plants machinery and equipment.
In FMDERIVE, I create table lookup using table ANLA and derived asset class from account number. Additionaly I derived fund center from evaulation group. You can see below secreen shot.
The reason I am using this method is our client manage their asset purchase from MM and they want to continue with this method. In this method, they use only one dummy asset and their purchase department use this dummy asset for each PO. When invoice arrived to company for asset, they will create a new asset from AS01 that will be real asset and change with dummy asset in MIRO. By the way, they want to budget control from PO.
Finally, If I manage this process with only one dummy asset, I cant control budget when they create PO. Therefore, I create many dummy asset by evaulation group ( department and asset class ). I derived account assignment and it works very well creating PO. what I doubt about real assets. Because, I created dummy asset with dummy account assignments. If I create real assets with dummy account assignment in AS01, does it mistaken our process? Is it impact our consume budget? I dont want to control budget after PO.
This issue is very urgent for me.
Please help me.
Thank you
Regards
