Function documentationMaintain Financial Objects for Subledger Positions and Subpositions

 

With this function, you can create, change, display, deactivate, and reverse financial objects for subledger positions (= TRL positions) and subpositions (HM-FAM). The positions assigned to a hedging relationship in HM-FAM (as hedged items or as a hedging instrument) are managed in subpositions in position management, whereby a distinction is made between the free-standing subpositions and the designated subpositions. A free-standing subposition is generated for the positions by assigning a hedged item and a hedging instrument to a hedging relationship. If designation then occurs later on, the free-standing subpositions are reduced by the designated part, and a subposition is generated for the designated part.

    • Analysis (RM)

      • Enter the balance sheet indicator for the transaction on which the financial object is based.

      • Enter the valuation rule.

        The valuation rule controls how the transaction is treated in the individual risk evaluations. For Accounting Analyzer purposes, this setting is not needed.

      • You can define precisely the validity of the financial object by entering the validity period.

      • In the Analysis Characteristics data group, you define the characteristic values for the financial object.

        The characteristic values are used for evaluations with the SAP drilldown reporting tool. You can specify the sequence of the RM analysis characteristics and how they appear on the screen by choosing Start of the navigation path Basic Analyzer Settings Next navigation step Reporting Characteristics Next navigation step Define Analysis Structure End of the navigation path. You can only enter values for hidden characteristics by using derivation strategies. If a characteristic is hidden by linking, the other characteristics in the linking will also be hidden.

        If you want to know how characteristics are derived when you save and run checks on the financial object, choose Start of the navigation path Extras Next navigation step Characteristic Derivation Log End of the navigation path. You then obtain a list that shows you the source fields with the corresponding target fields.
