Integration - Asset Accounting

1. In this tutorial you will display the master data of a building in your real estate portfolio. The building is also
represented as an asset in Asset Accounting. You will see how Flexible Real Estate Management integrates to
Asset Accounting, explain how to create a new asset from the building master record, and display existing assets
and the asset values.

master data, acquisition and depreciation values of an existing asset. These values can be displayed directly on the
real estate object (building) in the relevant reports in Business Information Warehouse.
