The status of each of the field group can be configured or modified in this step.įor example, in the below screen shot, the field groups for the logical field group General Data is displayed. If any of logical field groups is selected and the field group rules folder icon, appearing in the left hand side dialogue box is double clicked, the next screen displayed will contain the list of the status of each of the field groups available(required, suppress, optional or display). Some of the logical field groups available under the screen layout key 1040 are General data, Posting information, Time-dependent data etc. Out of the above list of all logical field groupings, the ones which will be appearing in the asset master record is controlled by the another configuration step – Specify Tab Layout for Asset Master Record (which will be discussed subsequently).


If any of the screen layout rules is selected and the Logical field group folder icon appearing in the dialogue box on the left hand side is double clicked, the next screen displayed will contain the list of all the logical field groupings available under the screen layout rule.įor example, when the screen layout key 1040 is selected and the logical field groups is double clicked, the list of all the logical field groups available for the layout key 1040 is displayed. the field status of each of the fields in the logical grouping is defined.In this configuration step, for each of the screen layout rule created, the following are configured: SAP Configuration – Definition of Screen Layout for Asset Master Data: Descriptionĭefine Screen Layout for Asset Master Data The screen layout rule assigned to the asset class determines the status of the fields appearing in the asset master records of all assets created under the asset class.įor example, in the screen shot below, the screen layout rule 1040 is assigned to the asset class 1040. SAP Configuration – Definition of Asset Classes: DescriptionĪsset class is one of the main components used to classify assets.Įvery asset created in SAP system must be created under only one specific asset class.Īpart from controlling the account determination, assignment of the number range etc., one of the important asset data maintenace frameworks controlled by the asset class is the screen layout rule. In this configuration step, only the keys and descriptions of the screen layout rule are configured.įor example, the below screen shot displays an example of a screen layout rule having the key 2000 and the description General machines. This configuration is done only if there is a specific requirement which cannot be met by using any of the pre-defined screen layout rules. Generally, the SAP supplied pre-defined screen layout rules are used. SAP Configuration – Creation of Screen Layout Rules: DescriptionĮvery asset class created in SAP should have a screen layout rule assigned to it. The configurations steps which control the tabs and fields which should be suppressed or displayed or requiring an entry or an optional entry are the following: With fields in the group box highlighted in blueĬONFIGURATIONS WHICH CONTROL THE ASSET MASTER DATA:.With seven Tabs highlighted in the red box and.How exactly are the various fields available in the asset master record structured into tabs.įor example, the below screen shot shows an asset master record:.How exactly are the fields available in the asset master record determined.Hence the configurations which determine the fields and tabs available in an asset master data play an important role while designing the asset master data maintenance system. fields structured together in the asset master record in the form of Tabs.data relating to the asset stored in the asset master record in the form of Fields.Fixed number of key attributes can be used to capture the relevant details of the asset for analysis and reporting.Asset master record is the reliable and authoritative data maintained by an organization relating to the various fixed and intangible assets used by it.
