You maintain TBE variants in Customizing for Financial Accounting (FI), by choosing Asset Accounting ® Special Valuation ® Revaluation of Fixed Assets ® Revaluation for the Balance Sheet ® Inflation Accounting ® Maintain Time Base and Exposure to Inflation Variants.

Once you have done so, you create period control methods on the basis of the TBE variants, with a separate TBE variant for each asset transaction type. In turn, you assign a period control method to each revaluation key.

When you run the Asset Revaluation (Inflation) program, it revaluates each asset using the TBE variants assigned to it by means of the revaluation key.
