Transfer Company Owned to Company Rental Asset

Explanation

This activity is to transfer the company-owned stock to company rental asset. With this transfer, the inventory value will be moved from an inventory general ledger account to a fixed asset acquisition account. You can also set up posting controls to post the transaction to a fixed asset object. The transfer of ownership can also be applied on a handling unit and will then have effect on the content of that handling unit.

Prerequisites

• Set up posting type M257 in posting control.
• Optionally set up M259 in posting control to use pre accounting or use a combination of M257 and M259 posting types for different code parts.
• Company-owned stock should exists in specific inventory location and no reserved or transit quantity should exist.
• The quantities should not exist in rotable part pools and stock should not be frozen for counting.
• Stock should not be in project inventory.
• Transfer of ownership is only allowed for parts that have been received into a stock location. i.e., transfer is not allowed when a part is in-arrival or QA locations and it is not allowed in shipment locations.

System Effects

• The ownership of the transferred parts in inventory and in Part Serial window becomes Company Rental Asset.
• Postings are created with debit posting type M257, Transfer from Company Owned to Company Rental Asset, and credit posting type M1, Inventory.
• If the line is posted to a fixed asset object, a system defined link to this object will be created on the Company Rental Assets tab in the Part Serial window.
