Introduction
This describes the configuration of Investment Management in the SAP 4.6c environment. This
does not include the configuration for use with Internal Orders. Also, I have not fully tested
Appropriation Requests, as our users do not desire to use that functionality at the moment.
Note on assigning statistical WBS to the PO directly: SAP allows using the stat. WBS on the
asset for all capitalization, or putting it on the PO and leaving it blank on the asset. The problem
with putting the WBS on the PO is that it assumes the business user will correctly assign the right
stat. WBS in addition to recording the asset. We decided to assign on the asset in all cases, as
this limits that task to the accountants and therefore should increase the accuracy of that part of
the process.
