Planned Interest Calculation

Use

You use the planned interest calculation to improve planning quality in projects and CO internal orders which either last several years or are capital-intensive.

The planned interest calculation is not available for capital-investment projects.

The planned interest calculation takes no account of the hierarchically oriented planning of overall costs for projects and orders.

Features

The planned interest calculation offers you periodic interest calculation on balances. The balances are formed on the basis of costs, revenues, and, if required, payments planned by cost element.

The balances for planned costs and revenues are always calculated on the basis of totals records. Balances for payments are based on line items, if the system writes line items. You determine whether line items are written in the IMG, by assigning activity FIPA to a number range.

The interest calculation logic is the same as for the actual interest calculation.

See Hierarchy Processing and Interest Calculation Control.

This means that the interest calculation includes appended orders. If you do not want this in your planned interest calculation, choose an interest profile for it that declares such orders "not interest relevant".

The following special considerations apply to the planned interest calculation:

Each planned interest run covers one CO plan version. You specify the CO version number in the initial screen for the planned interest calculation. Only complete versions are included in the planned interest calculation.

If the CO version is managed in profit-center valuation, the hierarchy display for the interest calculation is different. The interest calculation interprets the delivering WBS element in the transfer price agreement as the billing element. This may cause the system to interpret an account assignment object as the balancing object .

The planned interest calculation takes place for either the whole interest period, or for a more restricted period which you can enter in the initial screen.

If you do not specify any restrictions, each planned interest run recalculates the planned interest for the whole period. The system takes account of the effects of planned changes for the whole period. If you do specify restrictions, the system takes account of planned changes only for the period you specify.

See Planned Interest Calculation Period .

After successful interest runs, the system records the calculated interest in the balancing object under the cost element defined in the posting profile, under transaction KZRP.

Simulation versions are available for the planned interest calculation. The interest calculation is based on the entries in the planned interest calculation initial screen:

For the current project, if you specify only one project definition.
For the simulation version, if you specify a project definition and simulation version.
