Use
The FI-AA component offers a procedure for mass processing of freely definable changes to
asset master data. This procedure makes use of SAP Workflow, which enables the system to
carry out master data changes automatically to a large extent.
This type of master data change for large numbers of assets might be necessary when one of the
following cases applies:
• There is a change to the cost center plan, requiring you to change the cost center
assignment of all assets affected.
• As part of year-end closing, you have to change depreciation terms.
• Following the legacy data transfer, you have to make entries in certain asset master data
fields that could not be copied from your previous system.
• You made a change at the asset class level. Changes at this level affect only those assets
that are created after the change was made. Therefore, you have to make this change in the
already existing assets.
