Process documentationDebit of Rental Objects or Settlement Units with Fixed Unit Prices

 

In Japan, companies are required to balance their expense (tenant revenue) accounts with fixed unit price amounts before carrying out the standard Service Charge Settlement (SCS) by means of additional postings. The following process describes how to do this balancing in an additional step before the standard SCS.

Prerequisites

You have:

  • Selected the value of the Direct Cost Posting service charge key parameter to be either RO - Directly Assignable to Account or SU - Assignable to Account as described in Customizing for SCS Based on Fixed Unit Prices, step 1

    Note Note

    We recommend that you do not use the Ctr/RO parameter value because then the costs of the vacant positions cannot be processed.

    End of the note.

  • Maintained entries for flow types assigned to company codes and service charge keys as described in Customizing for SCS Based on Fixed Unit Prices, step 4

  • Entered the cost elements of rental objects in the Maintaining Fixed Unit Prices transaction

Process

  1. Execute the Distribution of Consumption Costs based on Fixed Unit Prices.

    The generated ALV list shows all the distributed consumptions and costs.

  2. Choose Post Additional Documents

    The system posts the calculated amounts on cost elements depending on the Direct Cost Posting parameters of the service charge key.

If you have specified the Direct Cost Posting service charge key parameter, and you have entered:

Parameter

System Response

RO - Directly Assignable to Account

The system makes a debit posting on the rental objects and a credit posting on the cost element of the rental object defined in the Maintaining Fixed Unit Prices transaction

SU - Assignable to Account

The system makes a debit posting on the settlement unit and a credit posting on the cost element of the rental object defined in the Maintaining Fixed Unit Prices transaction

Check the application log for possible error messages

Note Note

If you need to reverse this posting, run the Distribution of Consumption Costs Based on Fixed Unit Prices program with the same settlement unit and interval, and the system automatically reverses the former postings.

End of the note.
