When is it necessary to use cost element category 90?
Asset acquisitions and down payments can be assigned to an internal order or WBS element statistically. In this manner, for example, an availability check can be triggered on the order or the WBS element for asset posting.
In this cases it is necessary to create asset acquisition account as a cost element category 90.Category 90 is automatically assigned when you create cost elements in CO whose general ledger accounts in FI are asset reconciliation accounts. You cannot change this category in CO master data maintenance.
FI does not require CO account assignments to cost elements of category 90. However, if you enter an account assignment, it is only recorded statistically for real objects.
Category 90 allows you to check order or project budgets for fixed asset procurement. To do so, enter the investment order or WBS element in the corresponding field in the asset master.
