Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/370884 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
Starting from Release 4.6C, SAP provides options to synchronize master data between FI-AA (Assets) and PM (Equipment). This SAP Note clarifies the activation process for synchronization of even pre-existing master records. Key instructions include the customization settings required in V_ANKAZ_04 to link asset classes with appropriate equipment categories/types. It emphasizes the careful selection of such assignments to ensure unique linkage, avoiding mismatched or duplicated sync entries. Furthermore, the note addresses automatic and workflow-triggered creation of dependent objects from master records and outlines the influence on runtime via customer enhancement AAPM0001. It also includes references for further details and related corrections.
