Service Charge Settlement

Purpose

This component contains the functions for settling all service charges for real estate contracts and rental objects:

  • Internal settlement of operating costs and heating expenses

  • Settlement of operating costs and heating expenses monitored by external settlement companies (using data medium exchange)

Use

You use this component to distribute apportionable costs to tenants for a particular settlement period, using individual control mechanisms:

  • Categorizing of service charges incurred (by means of the service charge key)

  • Time-dependent apportioning of costs based on measurements (fixed values, consumption values, percentage shares, equal shares) or based on conditions in the contract

  • Time-dependent settlement participation of usage objects (business entities, buildings, properties, rental objects) with the ability to exclude individual rental objects when assigning higher-level usage objects

  • Clearing of costs that are not apportionable to the tenant (entering a percentage landlord share, or a definition of maximum costs, or settlement of non-apportionable service charges)

  • Apportionment of vacancy costs to a vacancy cost center

  • Integration of external settlement results
