Rate/Price Valuation

Prerequisites

Period-end closing

You must perform period-end closing for all the positions included in the valuation run on the key date of the valuation.

If you have not done this, the valuation run is cancelled and an error message appears.

Maintain valuation prices

Make sure that you have maintained the prices to be used for valuation before you perform the valuation run.

Procedure

Choose Accounting ® Operative Valuation Area ® Key Date Valuation ® Rate/Price Valuation.

The Securities: Execute Rate/Price Valuation screen appears.

Choose from the following selection parameters:

General selections

- Company code
- Product type
- ID number
- Securities account

When you perform key date valuation, you must value all the securities positions of a valuation group together. If one securities account has not been selected for processing, the whole group cannot be processed.

- Account assignment reference

Valuation parameters

- Key date (the positions and the rates/prices you want to include are calculated and posted on the key date entered)
- Security price type

When you calculate the valuation prices, you only include the prices that have this price type.
If you have defined an exchange in the position indicator, the price for the valuation is determined at this exchange. If there is a price with the Effective from date for the key date, this price is selected. Otherwise, the system takes the most recent price before the key date (with the price type selected).
If you did not define an exchange in the position indicator, the system calculates the most recent price ( key date) for the price type selected in the price table at any exchange.

Rate calculation indicator: You can enter the calculation type for calculating the exchange rate. If you do not make any entries here, the system uses the price calculation type defined for the company code.

You define calculation indicators in Customizing for basic functions by choosing Define Calculation Indicator. These indicators tell us which exchange rate types are used for the currency translation.
In Customizing for basic functions, choose Define Company Code Additional Data to specify the price calculation indicator that is valid in the company code as a default value.

If you decided to treat capitalized charges separately when you defined the valuation areas in Customizing for Securities, you have the option of writing down the charges fully for the valuation. You flag the indicator Fully write down capit. charges. If you do not set this indicator, the charges are written down in proportion to the ratio of the old book price and the new book price.

- Add sec. accounts to groups indicator: You can only use this function for complete securities account groups per ID number. If you set this indicator, the system automatically adds the missing securities accounts from the relevant securities account groups to the securities accounts selected. The system does not carry out this function if you do not select this indicator, and if you do not select all the securities accounts for a securities account group.

Note: If you do not select any ID numbers, the system uses the ID numbers in the securities accounts selected.

Posting control

- Enter a Posting date if it differs from the key date and a Posting period if it differs from FI.

Enter the document date.

A valuation unit can only be valued once on any given key date.
