Number Assignment

Depending on the setting in Customizing, the number of the business entity can either be assigned externally or internally. Read the documentation for the Number Range for Business Entity Customizing activity.

Business Entity Related to Architectural View

You can create a business entity with an immediate link to an existing architectural object. To do so, set the Create From Arch. indicator and enter the ID of the architectural object. The new business entity is then created with the data of this architectural object, such as its address and measurement amounts. You can still change this data.

Enter the company code. When external number assignment is used (see above), enter the number of the business entity.

Business Entity Not Related to Architectural View

If you do not want to create the business entity with a link to an architectural object, then do not set the Create From Arch. indicator.

Enter the company code. When external number assignment is used (see above), enter the number of the business entity.

Note Note

End of the note.

You can also link all usage objectsto architectural objects later on, after the usage object was created. For more information, refer to Architectural View and Assignments Between Usage and Architectural Views .

General Data Tab Page

When you create land and buildings, the address of the business entity is automatically copied. However, you can enter an address for them that differs from that of the business entity.

The more details you enter in the address in the dialog box, the faster the system works. If the system has already stored several addresses for the client, a dialog box displays an overview of the existing addresses that match your selection criteria.

By choosing Release , you release the business entity for account assignment.

Reference Factors Tab Page

  • Details on location

  • Assignment of units of measurement

Entries for rent adjustment: Enter tenancy law and assign representative list of rents :

  • The tenancy law you choose controls how adjustments of conditions and the service charge settlement are processed.

If you want to make a rent adjustment based on the representative list of rents (German law), you have to enter one of the representative list of rents defined in Customizing (also refer to Adjustment Method: Representative List of Rents ). The representative list of rents you assign is then valid for all buildings and rental objects that belong to the business entity.

Note Note

The representative list of rents can usually still be changed in non-commercial rental objects (for example, P rivately-financed apartment ).

End of the note.
  • Possible preassignment of settlement variants for service charge settlement

Infrastructure Tab Page

You can enter infrastructure characteristics on the Infrastructure tab page.

Measurements Tab Page

You can assign measurable characteristics of the business entity. For more information, see Measurements and Define Measurements .

In display mode, you can call up validity periods by choosing with the quick info text Current Time Slot and with the quick info text Complete Period .

For more information on time-dependent entries, see Management of Time Slots .

Option Rate Methods Tab Page

On this tab page you define methods for option rate determination. The method that has been defined in Customizing as being the default method is defaulted by the system here. However you can change this setting in the Option Rate Method Detail area.

Posting Parameters Tab Page

Here you can establish a link to a profit center and a business area.

Partner Tab Page

Here you can assign business partners who have a relationship to the business entity, and navigate to the business partner master data.

Note Note

End of the note.

For more information on the SAP business partner, refer to SAP Business Partner in RE-FX .

Assignments Tab Page

In Customizing you specify if the system automatically creates and assigns a functional location in the Plant Maintenance (PM) component when you create a business entity. If this setting is not made, you can manually create a functional location and assign it here.

Based on certain notifications (malfunction reports, service notifications, inspection), and depending on the Customizing settings in the Plant Maintenance (PM) component, you can create a maintenance order (or service or maintenance plan order) directly from the business entity.

In addition, depending on your settings in Customizing, you can:

  • Create and assign fixed assets of Asset Accounting (FI-AA)

  • Assign WBS elements

  • Assign CO orders

Architecture Tab Page

For more information, see these sections above: Business Entity Related to Architectural View and Business Entity Not Related to Architectural View .

Here you can assign existing usage objects to existing architectural objects or the other way around. This assignment can be either partial or complete. In addition, when you create usage objects, you can specify that they are created from existing architectural objects. The advantage of this assignment is that you can partially or completely adopt the measurements of the assigned object. While doing so, you can automatically or manually update the measurements on the usage object.
