What is Asset Classes
Fixed assets like Plants, Machines, Land, Buildings, Furniture, Vehicles etc are categorized into asset classes in SAP. It means you have asset classes for Land, Building, Plants etc. When we create an asset class for an asset the properties of the asset class are derived by that asset.
For example suppose we create one asset class for Land asset class category then all the properties of that asset class are derived to the same asset Land. One asset belongs to one asset class only but in one asset class, you have different assets.
For example in the Machines asset class, you can create so many different types of Machines asset master records. Asset classes are created at the client level. It means all the company code in the client can use the same asset class.
