Define Value Adjustment Key (SAP Library - Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable)

Define Value Adjustment Key

In this activity you define a valuation adjustment key based on country or due date. You then enter the valuation adjustment key in the customer master record.

The valuation adjustment key determines

Whether you want to execute a valuation for a different valuation area (such as HGB and GAAP)

The percentage of the provision for the calculation of the valuation adjustment

Whether the calculation should be based on country and due date

If you want to determine provision for unsecured receivables manually, do not enter a percentage rate and set the "Valuate manually" indicator. The open item is then also selected during valuation, but nothing is automatically calculated.

If you want to use a different valuation algorithm, you can attach you own function modules to the R/3 system. To do this, use Business Transaction Events . Enter the function module in the Ext.valuationfield.

Requirements

If you want to execute a valuation for a different valuation area, you have to first define the varying valuation areas. To do this, choose the activity Define Valuation Areas under the G/L Accounting section of the Implementation Guide.

Activities

1. Make the settings you need for individual value adjustment.

2. Save the valuation adjustment key in the customer master record.

Further Notes

You can find more information on flat-rate individual value adjustment in the R/3 Library under "FI - Closing and Reporting".
