Editing Measurements/Settlement Variants (SAP Library - Flexible Real Estate Management (RE-FX))

Processing Measurements/Settlement Variants

Use

You need measurements (Standard RE: apportionment units) and settlement variants to be able to create settlement units. You define measurements in the rental object and settlement variants in the settlement unit.

Prerequisites

You have made the required settings in Customizing for Flexible Real Estate for measurement types and measurement units (for instance apportionment by condition type m², water consumption m³). Choose the following task level menu:

Customizing ® Flexible Real Estate Management ® Master Data ® General Settings ® Measurements ® Measurement Types

You have defined settlement variants in Customizing for standard RE. Choose

SAP Customizing Implementation Guide ® Real Estate ® Service Charge Settlement ® Define Settlement Variants

If you want to make additional settings, double-click the settlement variant.

Activities

Caution

If you change previously created settlement units that already have generated cost collectors, you will not be able to change a settlement variant and measurement at a later date.
If you change previously created settlement units that do not yet have generated cost collectors (cost collectors with status New), you can still change a settlement variant and measurement.

In this case, a system message informs you that the cost collectors will be generated again.

Function	Action
Assign measurement type(s)	Depending on the settings in Customizing, you can assign several measurement types and define the proportion of service charge costs to be apportioned for each measurement type.
Specify purpose of service charge apportionment	Costs that are incurred in a settlement unit can be apportioned according to their purpose. Example of purposes: Landlord/tenant apportionment Owner apportionment (if the apportionment for a COA settlement is different from the apportionment from landlord to tenant) Remaining landlord/tenant apportionment (if a meter is defined in a settlement unit and the total amounts are larger than the total of the lower level counters, the costs incurred on this part should be apportioned by measurement type).
Define vacancy percentage rate for each measurement type	Enter the percentage rate of costs that the landlord pays for vacancies. Enter, say, 80%. For the service charge settlement for a settlement variant, the system: a) Posts 80% of the calculated costs of a vacancy of a rental object (RO) to the rental object in question b) Distributes the remaining costs to the other participating tenants according to the measurement factors
