Transfer variant is used to define the way SAP handles Asset transfer.
Transfer Variant Controls
- The transfer method used (Net, Gross or New Value)
- The transaction types used for Acquisition in new Company code and Retirement in old Company Code.
- These controlling parameters can be assigned based on relationship of Company codes involved in the transfers (Dependent or Independent) and Cross-System Depreciation area. You can also mention ‘*’ to apply controls to all areas. Company codes are considered legally dependent if they have same Company id and legally independent if they different Company ids.
Other than these, Transfer Variant also controls what fields transfer to new company code.
