As a result of the integration in the R/3 system, Asset Accounting (FI-AA) transfers data directly to and from other R/3 components. For example, you can post from the Material Management (MM) component directly to FI-AA. When you purchase an asset or produce an asset in-house, you can directly post the invoice receipt or goods receipt, or the withdrawal from the warehouse to assets in the Asset Accounting component. At the same time, you can pass on depreciation and interest directly to the Financial Accounting (FI) and Cost Accounting (CO) components. From the Plant Maintenance (PM) component, you can settle maintenance activities that require capitalization to assets.
