Create Interest Profile

In this IMG activity, you define the key and description of an interest profile and enter the basic settings for the interest calculation logic.

In the detail screen, you stipulate the following:

Derive automatically
Hierarchy process for the interest calculation is dependent on the project type. The interest logic and profile are inherited top-down within the hierarchy. The system distinguishes between the following project types:
Balances are formed and the interest calculation updated for each WBS element for which a capital investment profile has been maintained. You must first settle assigned orders and networks to the WBS element if you want them to be included in the interest calculation.
Balances are formed and the interest calculation updated in the billing element, taking account of all the lower-level objects in the hierarchy.
Balances are formed and the interest calculation updated for each account assignment object.
Calculate interest separately
This is a manual indicator which overrides the automatic derivation in hierarchy processing. The system calculates interest for the object. Lower-level items without their own interest profile are not included. Lower-level items do not inherit the interest profiles in the higher-level objects.
No interest calculation
This is a manual indicator which overrides the automatic derivation in hierarchy processing. The system does not calculate interest for the object and no attention is paid to lower-level items.
The manual interest calculation settings override the interest calculation derived automatically.
The interest calculation is based on line cost, revenue, and payment line items as of the posting date.
The interest calculation is based on the cost, revenue, and payment totals records. Basic values are dated, for interest calculation purposes, as of the middle of the period.

Activities

1. Define keys and a description for an interest profile.
2. Maintain the detail screen for the interest profile.

Further Notes

The system only calculates interest for a project or an internal order if you have defined an interest profile.

You do this in the control data as follows:

In the menu for basic data, choose Standard structures -> Standard WBS -> Change -> Detail -> Control.
The system defaults the entry to the WBS elements.
In the operative structures menu, choose Work breakdown struc -> Project definition or Structure (for WBS elements) -> Change -> Detail -> Control.

For internal orders, you can store the interest profile in:

To do this, choose
Mantain Interest Profile in Model Orders .
To do this, go to the internal orders menu and choose Master data -> Order -> Change.
