Function documentationCalculation of Effective Utilization of a Facility (Classic Model)

 

This model that SAP has predefined and made available as of banking services from SAP 5.0 enables you to calculate only the effective utilization of a facility by means of the check limits predefined in the system.

In the calculation, the system can only take into account the following allowed facility participants:

  • Master Contract

  • Checking Account

You are provided with the calculation bases below from the checking account, which correspond to internal system check limits. The system uses the predefined check limit (cannot be changed or enhanced) to calculate the utilization. To enable existing customers to continue using the check limit functions, SAP has provided the classic utilization categories 10-13 that correspond to the calculation bases and check limits.

Calculation Bases of the Checking Account

Check Limit

Technical Utilization Category

Account Balance Without SubFinPayt Balances with Debit Prenotes

10

Account Balance Without SubFinPayt Balances with all Prenotes

11

13

This enables you to continue using the features of the display, calculation, and reporting functions that have been converted to the new model. You can, for example, use the Display Facility function to calculate the facility utilization based on the classic model. You can do this by selecting the utilization category value 10, which corresponds to the calculation base Time-Independent Balance.
