Defaults

These processing options define the default values that the system uses when you update the Equipment Master. The default values for Equipment Master Update program are used for journal entries. When you create an equipment record for Service Management, the system uses the company, business unit, and asset cost account information and creates entries in the Asset Master File table (F1201).

1. Company and 2. Business Unit

Specify the company or the business unit that is responsible for the equipment costs. The system uses this value when validating the depreciation defaults for the asset cost account.

3. Asset Cost Account - Business Unit, 4. Asset Cost Account - Object, and 5. Asset Cost Account

Specify the business unit component, the object component, or the subsidiary component of the asset cost account that the system uses for tracking equipment costs. The system uses the asset cost account to determine which depreciation default accounts to validate.

Enter a value from UDC 12/ES (Status or Disposal Code) that specifies the initial status that the system assigns to the equipment record.

7. Status Code - Next

Specify the status value that is used to update the sales order detail line with its next status.

You must specify a UDC 40/AT (Activity/Status Codes) that has been set up in the Order Activity Rules based on the order type and the line type that you are using.
