Performing Interest Accruals/Deferrals
Use
Use this report program to perform periodic interest accruals/deferrals according to the reset procedure.
When you run the report program, the system only includes the flows that are valid in the cash flow of the positions you want to accrue/defer on the key date.
Prerequisites
Also enter the method you want to use to calculate the accrual/deferral amounts.
You specify the accounts to which you want to post these flow types in Customizing for securities by choosing Define Account Determination.
Features
If you want the system to include accrued interest, you must also define the flow types to be accrued in Customizing for Securities by choosing Define Accrual/Deferral.
These settings are not included in the Customizing delivered with the system.
Selection Criteria
1. You can use the following selection criteria to restrict the evaluation area for the accrual/deferral run:
a. Company code
b. Product type
c. ID number
d. Securities account
e. Account assignment reference
f. Position currency
g. Flow type
2. If you set the Variable list output indicator, the system uses the ABAP List Viewer to output a log for the accrual/deferral run as a variable list.
3. The Accruals/deferrals key date determines the calculation period. The system defaults to the current date (today’s date), but you can overwrite it.
4. The Posting date can vary from the key date of the accrual/deferral.
5. The Posting period is an optional entry.
6. The Accruals/deferrals procedure is a required entry. Since only the reset procedure is supported in the securities area, it is set as a default.
7. You have the option of carrying out a test run first. In this case, the system displays the accrual/deferral list, but no postings are made.
8. Execute the report program.
Output
Posting log
The posting log is displayed if you have executed the accrual/deferral run as an ‘update run’, in other words, you have set the Post indicator.
The posting log tells you which postings have been performed. Each posting document tells you the number, the class (ID number), the G/L account to which the posting was made and the amount.
Accruals/deferrals list
When you have executed the accrual/deferral function, the system displays a list of the accruals/deferrals, irrespective of whether you executed a ‘simulation run’ or an ‘update run’. If you set the Variable list output indicator, the system uses the ABAP List Viewer to output the list. If you do not set the indicator, the system displays a non-variable list.
The lists are divided up as follows:

You can see from the flow types in the list if the flows are accruals or deferrals. You can also see the accrual/deferral amounts for each ID number and securities account, and the accrual/deferral amount allotted to an account assignment reference in the company code. |
The standard system has a function that enables you to display subtotals using the flow type, the account assignment reference, currencies and the company code in local currency.

If errors occur when you execute an accrual/deferral run, an error log is output.
