Full Settlement Based On Heating Value Days

Use

You can carry out settlements using regional location keys to distribute costs throughout a settlement period (for instance, if you want to charge smaller percentage rates for heating expenses in summer than in winter).

A regional location key comprises:

a. Heating value days

b. And the corresponding heating value percentage rates

This procedure is used in Switzerland (regional location key = ETH key).

However the procedure can be adapted for general use by defining your own keys.

Prerequisites

Settings in Real Estate Customizing

See the documentation in the Implementation Guide (IMG): Maintain Regional Location Keys for Heating Value Days.

Enter the regional location key and heating value percentage rates

The indicator Regional location key can be maintained is set for the valid tenancy law

The indicator allowing maintenance of several apportionment factors per settlement unit is set

Settings in settlement unit

You have to assign the respective regional location key to the apportionment unit on the settlement unit.

Features

You can maintain heating value percentage rates for each region and each service charge key.

Caution If the respective apportionment unit is apportioned according to consumption, the heating value percentage rates are only taken into account if no interim meter reading is made at tenant changeover.

Apportioning of consumption-dependent and consumption-independent service charges is based on the formula:

Apportionment factor * Heating value percent rate/per period
Total apportionment factor * Total reg.location key value
