Master Settlement Units (SAP Library - Flexible Real Estate Management (RE-FX))

Master Settlement Units

Definition

Use

A supplier may issue one joint invoice covering different service charges that affect different settlement units without displaying the costs individually, such as for hot water and heating.

You can collect (post) these costs on a master settlement unit (master SU) and specify the calculation base according to which the costs are predistributed to the respective settlement units in the R/3 System.

The service charge settlement posts the costs to the participating settlement units according to the calculation base and allocates these proportionately.

This provides transparency of costs down to the level of the individual settlement units.

Structure

The master SU defines:

The settlement units to which the costs are predistributed
The calculation base according to which the costs are distributed

Calculation Base

There are three methods of predistributing costs:

Predistribution by measurement	Predistribution by equivalence number	Predistribution by a formula for calculating water consumption
Enter a measurement for distributing the costs to the individual SUs. To do so, you must have assigned a measurement for the rental units or rental objects to the SUs	For each settlement unit, you can specify an equivalence number in a unit of measurement of your choice for distributing the costs proportionately to the respective SUs. You can also specify that the total of the equivalence numbers is greater than or equal to the total of the actual equivalence numbers. The remaining share calculated in this way is posted to an object determined in the master SU (business entity, property, building, rental object, contract, cost center, internal order).	Only used for calculating the share of hot water consumption according to German heating expenses regulations: Calculation of fuel consumption: HW% = B / W where W = TotCons / HV and B = (2,5 * C * (TW - 10)) / HV Calculation of heating consumption: HW% = Q / TotCons where Q = 2,0 * C * (TW - 10) Fixed flat rate for hot water consumption C = measured volume of consumed hot water in m³ TW= measured or average temperature of hot water HV = heating value of the consumed fuel in kilowatt hours per liter or other unit B = fuel consumption according to unit of measurement used for HV TotCons = total consumption of heating units as entry value W = total heat consumption to be determined Q = heat consumption for hot water consumption Instead of automatically calculating the percentage rate with the above formula, you can enter it manually.
