Function documentationDisplaying Master Contract Facilities

 

This function enables you to determine the facilities (master contract hierarchies with the Facility feature) in which a selected master contract is participating.

During report execution, the system checks the global limit and displays the master contract hierarchies with their structure in the existing levels. The system displays all the utilization data of the facility participants for a selected technical utilization category.

Prerequisites

  • Start of the navigation path Financial Services Next navigation step Master Contract Management Next navigation step Master Contract Applications Next navigation step Facilities Next navigation step Edit General Settings End of the navigation path, (set up the mode of the currency translation and decide which facility model to use).

  • If you are using the model valid as of banking services from SAP 8.0, you have specified in the product definition how the extended facility calculation is to be executed for the corresponding master contracts (see Customizing for Master Contract Management, under Start of the navigation path Product Management Next navigation step Product Definition Next navigation step Change Master Contract Product End of the navigation path). You have specified the relevant utilization categories and whether the system uses the global external limit, global internal limit, no limit, or a global customer limit for checks during the extended calculation of the effective or nominal utilization.

  • If you are using the model valid as of banking services from SAP 7.0 for loans accounts, you have specified in the product definition how the facility calculation is to be executed for the corresponding master contracts (see Customizing for Master Contract Management, under Start of the navigation path Product Management Next navigation step Product Definition Next navigation step Change Master Contract Product End of the navigation path). In particular, you have specified whether the system is to use the effective or nominal utilization to check against the global external limit or global internal limit for the calculation (setting of the Limit attribute).

  • For master contract hierarchies whose participant accounts and master contracts have different currencies, you have processed the following Customizing activities:

    1. You have set up and checked Customizing for Account Management under Start of the navigation path Item Management Next navigation step Basic Functions Next navigation step Currency Exchange End of the navigation path. In particular, you have specified in the Customizing activity Define Currency Customizing whether the currency Customizing is to be set up by means of the currency settings in SAP NetWeaver or by means of the market data functions.

    2. In the Customizing activity, Assign Exchange Rate Types for Currency Translation, you have assigned the relevant exchange rate categories (see Start of the navigation path Master Contract Management Next navigation step General Settings Next navigation step Assign Exchange Rate Types for Currency Translation) End of the navigation path

    3. Depending on the setting in the Customizing activity Define Currency Customizing, you have processed the following Customizing activities:

    If you are using the currency functions in SAP NetWeaver:

    • Start of the navigation path SAP NetWeaver Next navigation step General Settings Next navigation step Currencies Next navigation step Check Exchange Rate Categories End of the navigation path

    • Start of the navigation path SAP NetWeaver Next navigation step General Settings Next navigation step Currencies Next navigation step Define Translation Ratios for Currency Translation End of the navigation path

    • Start of the navigation path SAP NetWeaver Next navigation step General Settings Next navigation step Currencies Next navigation step Enter Exchange Rates End of the navigation path

    If you are using the market data functions:

    • Start of the navigation path SAP NetWeaver Next navigation step General Settings Next navigation step Currencies Next navigation step Check Exchange Rate Categories End of the navigation path

    • Start of the navigation path Financial Services Next navigation step Foundation Next navigation step Market Data Next navigation step Create Market Data Area End of the navigation path

    • Start of the navigation path Financial Services Next navigation step Foundation Next navigation step Market Data Next navigation step Currency Exchange Rates Next navigation step Define Exchange Rate Types and Exchange Rates End of the navigation path

If you are using the market data currency functions, you can also enter the exchange rates on the SAP Easy Access screen under Start of the navigation path Financial Services Next navigation step Foundation Next navigation step Market Data Next navigation step Edit Exchange Rates End of the navigation path.

Features

Selection

You use the master contract number to identify the master contract that you want to display. The system accepts only master contracts that were created in this client.

To display the effective or nominal facility utilization, you have the following options:

  • To display the effective facility utilization, select the Current Utilization radio button.

    If you entered the ID of a participant from a facility hierarchy you can use the F4 help to select a technical utilization category from all of the techncial utilization categories of the effective utilization as defined for the whole facility.

  • To display the nominal facility utilization, select the Utilization Based on Date radio button, and enter the current or a future evaluation date in the Evaluation Date field.

    If you entered the ID of a participant from a facility hierarchy you can use the F4 help to select a technical utilization category from all of the techncial utilization categories of the nominal utilization as defined for the whole facility.

Output

The system calculates the facility utilization and displays the master contract hierarchies in which the master contract is participating, and all the data relevant to utilization for the selected technical utilization categories.

In the top part of the list, the system displays the point of entry, which is the master contract that you selected beforehand.

The system varies the information in the header data of the display, depending on whether you are displaying the effective or nominal facility utilization:

  • To display the nominal utilization, the system checks the utilization on a certain evaluation date. It displays this date in the header data. Note that the system calculates the nominal utilization starting with the contract present of the affected master contract, and ending with a date no later than 50 years in the future.

  • To display the effective utilization, the system checks the utilization at the system time of the display. The system displays this time stamp with the date, time, and time zone of the evaluation.

    Note Note

    In Customizing for Master Contract Management, under Start of the navigation path Master Contract Applications Next navigation step Facilities Next navigation step General Settings End of the navigation path, you can select the time zone in which the facility is to be displayed.

    End of the note.

Below the header data, the system displays the master contract hierarchy with all participant levels. The green, yellow, and red icons in front of the master contract have the following meanings:

  • Green: The master contract is within its limit.

  • Yellow: The master contract has exceeded its limit and is not within the check path.

  • Red: The master contract has exceeded its limit and is within the check path.

The check path starts from the first master contract at the point of entry (or the first master contract above, if the point of entry is an account) and continues up to the main master contract.

In the product of the master contract, you define the limit that the system is to use for checking the nominal or effective utilization.

Note Note

If you display the master contract hierarchy for utilization categories 10-13, which correspond to the check limits of the model provided as of banking services for SAP 5.0, the system only checks against the global internal limit.

End of the note.

The data that the system can display for the facility participants includes the following utilization data:

  • The global internal and external limit

  • The global limit that the system uses for checking the utilization

  • The limit used for a check

  • The currency of the limits

  • The utilization and non-utilization of the master contracts in their currencies according to the selected utilization category

  • The amounts relevant to utilization for the corresponding accounts in their currencies

  • The amounts relevant to utilization for valid, explicit reservations

  • The information about whether there is any data for a participant about the selected technical utilization category

The system takes different currencies into account during the global limit check for the master contract and participant accounts. It also translates the currency for the utilization calculation.

Activities

To call this report from the SAP Easy Access screen, choose Start of the navigation path Master Contract Management Next navigation step Facilities Next navigation step Display Facility End of the navigation path.
