 Maintaining Master Data for Distribution of Consumption Costs

Use

Before you distribute the consumption costs based on fixed unit prices, you need to maintain the real estate objects that are involved in service charge settlement based on fixed unit prices.

These real estate objects can be business entities, buildings and parts of the buildings that are composed of rental objects assigned to participation groups.

If there are different meters installed in different parts of the buildings and you want to use different fixed unit prices for them, it is recommended that you define settlement units with participation groups that contain parts of the building (for example, rental objects, pooled spaces, or rental spaces). Usually you define the fixed unit price for buildings.
