Periodic Postings: Contracts

Use

The periodic posting function for the Real Estate contract posts the accounting flows resulting from the conditions while taking account of the contract type.

You use this function to post the condition amounts manually or automatically as credit or debit to the accounts of the contract partners.

You can also specify whether condition amounts are transferred to Real Estate objects in accordance with the settings in the Real Estate contract (type of posting run).

Prerequisites

In Customizing for Flexible Real Estate Management, you first have to:

Define flow types
Define account symbols and assign them to flow types
Define account determination values, where applicable

In contract processing, you have to assign condition types (credit side/debit side) to contract partners according to the selected view.

The only Real Estate contracts taken into account are the following:

ACTV (Active) status: With this status planned records exist in the cash flow (for example, vendor basic rent)
Those without the status DLFL (no deletion flag) and AALK (no account assignment lock)

Integration

Cash Flow of Real Estate Contract

If conditions are defined in the contract, the system generates a cash flow. This cash flow updates monthly planned records for the postings of each condition type for the number of years specified in Customizing. These planned records are assigned the indicator P.

Account Determination

You make the account determination in accordance with the settings in Customizing or with the account determination value assigned to a contract.

You can set different parameters for the account determination in Customizing:

Flow type: derived from the conditions of a Real Estate contract
Account assignment value: maintain the value directly in the master data of the relevant contracts

Advantage: a different account determination control is possible for each contract (with time-dependence, and for each condition)

Features

A periodic posting is made via the company code. Posting runs can be simulated or reversed. A posting and error log displays current information about the posting status.

The periodic posting is used to:

Select all flow records that have not yet been posted but are due (planned records in cash flow)
Carry out an account determination for each flow record and create a debit and credit posting in Financial Accounting

The posting procedures are made in accordance with the condition type and usage.
