This chapter contains the topic:
When you set up the responsible business units that you want to use throughout your system, you assign category codes to each unit. You can set up category codes for your business units that would also be helpful for tracking and reporting on assets.
From Fixed Assets (G12), enter 29
From Fixed Asset System Setup (G1241), choose Category Code Mapping
To use business unit category codes for tracking and reporting on assets, you can assign category code default values. You assign category code default values by associating, or mapping, the category codes that you set up for individual business units to the category codes you use for fixed assets. The system uses the default category code values when you create master records for new assets.
