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

Settlement Unit

Definition

Determines the type of settlement used for service charge settlements. The settlement unit defines the following:

Settlement period (settlement periods/settlement variants)
Type of service charges (for instance, hot water supply)
Measurements (such as hot water consumption in m³)
Purpose of the service charge apportionment (for instance landowner/tenant apportionment)
Participating objects

Use

You have to create a settlement unit (SU) before you carry out the service charge settlement.

For each type of service charge that is defined in the service charge key and that participates in the settlement, you have to create a new settlement unit.

For each settlement period, so-called cost collectors are defined for posting costs to a settlement unit.

The costs for each settlement period of a settlement unit are collected on a cost collector for the settlement.

If you post to a settlement unit, the system determines the cost collector from the specified settlement reference date.
