Enter Interest Values (SAP Library - General Ledger Accounting)

Enter Interest Values

In this activity, you specify the required interest rates dependent on the date for the reference interest rates.

The interest rates defined here are used when determining a variable interest rate that is linked with one of these reference interest rates, for example.

You can make new entries and/or change or delete existing entries. You can use the functions "Copy as", "Undo change", and "Position" to help you make your entries.

Requirements

Before maintaining a value for a reference interest rate here for the first time, you must define the reference interest rate under "Check Reference Interest Rates" in Customizing for Treasury Management Basic Functions.

Activities

1. In the view "Reference Interest Rate Values: Overview", all the existing reference interest rates are shown in a four-column table.

2. The interest rates are defined as being time-dependent ("Valid from").

3. You can change an existing value by simply overwriting it.

4. You can use the "Position" function to arrive quickly at the value to be changed. Enter the reference interest rate you are looking for, and the "Valid from" date, and the relevant interest rate will appear at the top of the list.

5. To delete an entry, select the relevant line and then press "Delete".

6. To make a new entry, use the pushbutton "New entries". You can then maintain new entries on the following screen. Enter the following data:
