Example: Settlement Unit and Participation ID 
Participation ID
The rental units that participate in the service charge settlement are assigned to a settlement unit by means of the Participation ID.
You can allocate this Participation ID per business entity (BE) or for all business entities (you create the settlement unit and participation ID without specifying the business entity number).
You can use a Participation ID in as many settlement units of the same business entity as required with the result that a change to the allocation of the rental units to this Participation ID is then valid for all settlement units. A result of this is that a change to the allocation of the rental units to this Participation ID is then valid for all settlement units.
Time-dependent allocation
Both the Participation ID and the rental units assigned to it can be assigned time-dependently.
Participation ID |
Assigned rental units |
Only if you do not want to use a participation ID before or after a certain point in time anymore, should you determine a validity In other cases, do not enter any dates in the date fields |
Do not maintain a date for each rental unit. Enter a validity date for a rental unit that participates in the service charge settlement only as of a certain point in time (for example, extension, rebuilding). |
Starting Point
The following service charges are to be settled within a business entity (BE1) with two buildings (BLD1/BLD2):
Realization
You can then use three participation IDs to create the settlement units and to assign the rental units:

BLD1 = all RUs of BLD1 |
BLD2 = all RUs of BLD2 |

ALL = all RUs of the BE1 |

New Situation
If the attic in building 1 is converted for rent (new rental unit), assign this new rental unit to the participant IDs, BLD 1 and ALL.
This rental unit now automatically participates in the service charge settlement as of the set date.
