Executing the Planned Interest Calculation (SAP Library

Executing the Planned Interest Calculation

Procedure

Choose Logistics or Accounting ® Project System ® Controlling ® Planning ® Allocations ® Interest Calculation ® Individual processing or Collective processing.

The system may ask you to enter the controlling area for which you want to carry out the interest calculation.

This takes you to the screen Planned Interest Calculation: Project/WBS Element/Network.

Enter the necessary data.

In individual processing, you can also select or specify the following:

Project version, if you want to calculate interest for a simulation version

Include orders, if you want assigned orders or networks to be included in the calculation

Select the process control fields you require: You can run the interest calculation in the following ways:

Online or in background processing
As a test run or a live run
With a detail list, showing all the interest line items

Choose Execute.

Depending on the settings you enter, the system displays a list or asks you to schedule a background processing job.

Result

Whether you execute the interest run in test or live mode, the system outputs a log showing the update and, where appropriate, errors.

See Update Log

If errors have occurred, the system directs your attention to the error log. You access this by choosing Goto ® Messages.

In the initial screen for the interest calculation, you can choose Extras ® Log options which hides error messages of type /. These contain information on the processing for the interest calculation, such as the objects for which no interest profile has been maintained.

In the planned interest calculation, the system always uses the totals records to reproduce the balance carried forward for costs and revenues.

Depending on the settings entered in Customizing, the balance carried forward is made up of either totals records or line items. If you opted to allow planned line items to be written (by assigning a number range to transaction FIPA in the IMG), the planned interest calculation takes place to the day, based on plan line items. If the line item update is not active, the planned interest calculation uses totals records.
