Postings for
Service Charge Settlement 
Use
Resuming posting activities after document update is cancelled
The documents for the service charge settlement are now saved temporarily in tables for subsequent posting. If an error occurs during the posting update, you can use program RFVINKAS_DOCUMENTS to resume the postings.
Simulation posting log
When you simulate the service charge settlement, the system now displays a simulated posting log. Press the corresponding button in the results screen to display the log.
Saving the settlement result with large data volume
The update logic for the service charge settlement has been changed. Database tables are now no longer updated once the complete settlement has been successfully carried out but already during the settlement run. If subsequent errors occur in the settlement run, the updated tables are saved.
This means that the evaluation of a settlement may still show results even if the settlement run was not complete on account of an error. In this case, an error message is displayed in the settlement log. The status of the settlement units only changes to "Settled" when the settlement is successfully completed.
This change does not affect the settlement procedure. If you encounter such an error, you can still evaluate the error log, correct the error and restart the settlement. The new settlement run overwrites the previous settlement results.
Transferring advance payments without a batch input session
As of this Release, credit notes from advance payment transfer postings are no longer posted via a batch input session but are cleared directly in the service charge settlement. The same applies to external heating expenses settlements and sales-based settlements.
The document text also now specifies the settlement period for credits resulting from advance payment reposting.
Simulation of advance payments to be considered
In addition to the option to display the
advance payments to be transferred in the simulation of the service charge
settlement, the info system now contains the menu option "Simulate Advance
Payments to be Taken Into Account".
Once you have selected the settlement units, the report simulates the advance
payments to be taken into account in a service charge settlement for each
rental agreement, flow type and tax indicator. Since the report does not
consider the costs for the settlement unit nor the receivable postings, it is
faster than the service charge settlement simulation.
"Do not run through posting interface for simulation" indicator
When you set this indicator, the posting interface is not run through in the service charge settlement simulation. As a result, you may not find errors occurring in FI or CO. On the other hand, it is possible to reach a simulation result in much less time. Unlike the "Calculate credit/receivables" indicator, in addition to the apportionment result, the advance payments and cost surcharges to be taken into account are also calculated.
