Service Charge Keys

Definition

You can freely define service charge keys (SCK) in Customizing for Real Estate.

Example

600 Elevator
800 Street cleaning/garbage removal
900 House cleaning
1000 Gardening
1240 Water consumption
6001 Fuel
8002................

Structure

The attributes of a service charge key determine:

Tenancy law for which it applies
Service charge group to which it belongs (operating costs/heating expenses/general costs)
If it is apportionable to tenants (for example)
If it is exclusively apportionable to commercial tenants
Condition type (advance payment or flat rate) for settling the costs

Settlement against the advance payments can be controlled by means of the assignment to an individual condition type or to a service charge group.

Integration

You create a settlement unit for each apportionable service charge key.

Advance payments are defined as a condition type on the lease-out. You can assign more than one condition type of the advance payment category to a service charge key, taking various restrictions into account ( Example: Settlement of Individual Service Charge Keys).
