APC stands for Acquisition and Production Cost.

In the SAP system, Asset Accounting (FI-AA) is fully integrated with other SAP components, enabling seamless data transfer. For example, postings from the Materials Management (MM) module can be directly linked to FI-AA. When an asset is purchased or produced in-house, you can post the invoice receipt, goods receipt, or warehouse withdrawal directly to Asset Accounting. Additionally, depreciation and interest can be passed directly to Financial Accounting (FI) and Controlling (CO). From the Plant Maintenance (PM) module, maintenance activities requiring capitalization can be settled to assets.

When posting to an asset during a purchase requisition or outline agreement, the system verifies, based on the planned delivery date, whether the fixed asset exists and if posting is allowed. The same validation applies when posting to a fixed asset in a purchase order. The system also ensures that the upper limit for low-value assets is not exceeded. The assigned asset can still be changed until the first goods receipt or invoice receipt for a purchase order occurs.

To enable account assignment to assets when creating purchase orders, purchase requisitions, or outline agreements, the account for Acquisition and Production Costs in Financial Accounting must be linked to a field status group that allows entries for asset number/sub-number, transaction type, and quantity.
