hi,
First, determine the information that is necessary for creating the purchase order:
Check in the Purchasing component whether a purchase requisition exists for the asset (Logistics - Materials management - Purchasing).
Determine the vendor from whom you are ordering the asset. If needed, enter the purchasing data for the vendor.
Determine the asset number of the asset that is being ordered. If necessary, create a new asset.
Create the purchase order. If there is a purchase requisition, use it as a reference (in Purchasing: Purchase order - Create).
In the initial screen, when you specify the account assignment type A (for asset), this determines
The account assignment to an asset
How the goods receipt or the invoice receipt is to be handled (are asset values to be posted at the time of the goods receipt or at the time of the invoice receipt).
Once you have entered the general purchasing data in the first screen (order date, material group, etc.), a dialog box appears. Enter the asset to which account assignment is to be made in this dialog box.
If the asset master record for your purchase has not yet been created, you can create it directly from within the purchase order transaction.
Display the order item and its current delivery status (in Purchasing: Purchase order - List display - By account assignment).
Later, post the goods receipt or the invoice receipt. (The Customizing definition of the account assignment type determines when the asset values are posted - either at goods receipt or at invoice receipt.) See the corresponding documentation for the Materials Management (MM) component.
