AS02 - Change Asset master Record

Functionality

1- You can change various fields of the asset master data even after the asset master is created.

Scenario

Certain assignments during the life cycle of an asset change frequently, and therefore a record should be kept of the changes, both for reporting and for valuation needs. Examples are the assignment of an asset to a cost center, or multiple-shift usage of an asset during a certain time period.
You can store the following assignments with different time intervals:
1) Cost center 2) Plant 3) Cost order
Data is stored in an unbroken sequence showing the exact day, with a "valid from" and "valid to" date. When you access a master record, the time-dependent data valid for the date of the request is displayed. If the assignment is different in other time periods, this is designated by a history indicator after the field. Using the "Field breakdown" function, you display the entries for a given field at the different intervals.

Requirements
None.
