Define Derivation Procedures and Rules

You can set up the system to generate additional flows in transaction management automatically on the basis of an original flow. In this IMG step, you define the corresponding derivation procedures. In the next step, you assign rules to the derivation procedure that determine how one flow is generated from another.

If you want a derivation procedure to be applied when a transaction is entered, you must assign this derivation procedure to a business partner. To do this, choose Derived flows in business partner maintenance.

Example

Derivation procedures can be used for defining fixed commission rates for a business partner, or for generating tax flows.

Requirements

To define derivation procedures and rules, you must first define the original flow type and the derived flow types in Customizing by choosing Define Flow Types for Transaction.

Example

You want to automatically generate the flows for interest income tax and refundable tax.

Define a derivation procedure e.g. "ZAST"

Define the following rules:

You can use these settings to generate flow type 0306 (interest income tax) at 25% of the incoming flow type 0870 (accrued interest). In a second step, you define flow type 0308 (reunification tax) at 5.5% of the outgoing flow type 0306 (interest income tax).

Activities

1. Use the New entries function to create a new derivation procedure by assigning an alphanumeric key and a name for the procedure.
2. Save your entries.
3. To define the derivation rules for the procedure, select the derivation procedure and go to 'Securities: Define Derivation Rules'.
1. Choose 'New entries' again and enter the following:
a) The date from which the derivation rules are effective
b) The flow type and the direction of the original flow.
c) The flow type you want to generate as a derived flow.
d) The direction of the derived flow.
e) The percentage rate at which you want to determine the derived flow for the original flow.
2. Save your entries.
