Define Interest Relevance for Value Categories (SAP Library

Define Interest Relevance for Value Categories

In this IMG activity, you define value category relevance for an interest profile/interest indicator combination. You can do this for:

Costs/revenues

Payment data (down payments, payments) (not in internal orders)

No interest calculation

The value category consists of a range of elements and/or a range of commitment items.

Note the following:

Cost elements/commitment items not assigned to value categories are not included in the interest calculation.

For the purpose of the interest calculation, you must create interest in the form of cost elements. You can thus use the "None" indicator to control whether compound interest is calculated in an interest run.

Example

You want to calculate interest on payments and internal activities.

You want to calculate interest on the value categories for internal activities.

Select the Cost indicator for the value category.

For external activity value categories, you want to calculate interest for the payment data (down payments and payments on the debit side and on the credit side) but not for the associated costs.

Select the Payments indicator for this value category.

Activities

Stipulate the interest relevance.

Further Notes

To avoid data problems, stipulate the interest relevance for every interest profile/interest indicator combination. If you do not maintain the interest indicator field, there is a wild card effect.
