Asset Acquisition with Vendor

You can post the acquisition of a purchased asset in several different ways, using different components of the R/3 System:

1. In Asset Accounting (FI-AA) in integration with Accounts Payable (FI-AP), but without reference to a purchase order.
2. In Asset Accounting, without reference to a purchase order, without integration with Accounts Payable (posting to a clearing account – with or without clearing).
3. In Materials Management (MM) at goods receipt or invoice receipt (refer to Processing Asset Acquisitions in Purchasing (FI-AA/MM) and Goods Receipt and Invoice Receipt with Reference to Asset).
