Not sure about using sed for this, but here is a solution using awk:

Code:
awk 'NR==FNR { K[$1]=$0; next }
{ if($1 in K) $0=K[$1]; print }' fileB fileA

Or if you only want to search/replace for a given value:

Code:
awk -vN=AS11000022010  'NR==FNR { if($1 == N)K[$1]=$0; next }
{ if($1 in K) $0=K[$1]; print }' fileB fileA
