Aquire to decomission process

[Gb2038]

Team for aquire to decomission process which is the start point apart from manual approvals and budgeting , is purchase requisition with account assignment assets the start point ? and how can eam work order process be integrated at what point in time since the asset procurement is being done at company level and we cannot raise purchase requisitions from work order to just to procure so many assets. Do we have an integrated best practice document which displays flow right from planning to procurement to commision.?

If you're looking to build an equipment acquisition process within S/4HANA PM, there is no best practice solution for it. You need to design the process according to your business needs.

That said, a high-level sketch of the process could begin with AUC creation, followed by the PR-PO cycle for procurement. The AUC is then settled against an asset for which equipment are created. Then you could create a WO to record their installation process. This could be an existing maintenance order or you could configure a new one just for this purpose. 

This is just a high-level idea. You may need to use internal orders for capital expenditure part, you may also need to enable serialization if required.
