Dear,

Path for this setting: SPRO> .Financial Accounting>Asset Accounting>Master Data>Automatic Creation of Equipment Master Records>Specify Conditions for Synchronization of Master Data

Here choose any asset class and goto detail view and do necessary setting of sychronization.

hi

the Asset Accounting (FI-AA) component is independent of the technically-oriented structure in the Plant Maintenance (PM) component. The PM component has its own structural organization (functional locations, equipment). This structure enables you to organize fixed assets according to maintenance requirements

The system offers an additional option, the integration of the Asset Accounting and Plant Maintenance components by synchronization of asset master records an d equipment master records. Synchronization means master data maintenance of the two objects is linked, so that changes to one are automatically made in the other. You can set up this process, so that when you create an asset master record, the system automatically enters an equipment master record number in the asset master record, and copies the values of certain master data fields (for example, company code, cost center).

Dear,

Both equipment as well as functional location or you can say anything in plant is an asset as a individual.

All these are identified as asset number. So that field is for asset number. This can be created automatically and manually.

Refer SAP note 370884
