Amount Category 180000 Amount Limits

Use

You use this amount category to represent amount limits for a specific period, within which the settlement results of a condition type must fall.

The period can be the settlement period or the period of use.

The system first calculates all conditions for the settlement period, totals the amounts for a condition type, and then compares the result with the amount limits. If the lower amount limit is exceeded, then the system should post the minimum amount defined in the Amount Limits condition. If the upper amount limit is exceeded, then the system should post a maximum amount. If the result falls within the limits, then the system posts the calculated amounts.

You have the following options when editing a condition with the amount category 180000 (amount limits) .

You define the reference condition type for the amount limits in condition type customizing in the application.

This graphic is explained in the accompanying text.

If the reference condition type has differentiations, then the amount limit is valid for the total of all conditions of the reference condition type irrespective of the differentiation.

You can enter a Minimum Amount and a Maximum Amount.
You can enter a Trivial Amount .

The minimum amount must be less that the maximum amount, but larger than or the same as the trivial amount.

If the total of the condition amounts is less than the trivial amount, then the system does not make a posting.

If the total of the condition amounts is between the trivial amount and the minimum amount, then the system posts the minimum amount.

If the total of the condition amounts is between the minimum amount and the maximum amount, then the system posts the actual amount.

If the total of all the condition amounts is above the maximum amount, then the system posts the maximum amount.

You can enter a payment currency that differs from the condition currency, which is then valid for all amount fields of the condition if no condition currency exists. If both currencies exist, then the condition currency is valid.
