Function documentationCalculation of Effective and Nominal Utilization for a Facility

 

This flexible and configurable model enables you to calculate the effective and nominal utilization of a facility, checking against a limit that you set up yourself.

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

  • Master Contract

  • Checking Account

  • Loan Account

You are provided with numerous calculation bases for the calculation, which you can set up flexibly in the Product Configurator of the master contract. You can also restrict the utilization calculation in the Product Configurator according to product and product group.

Note Note

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.

End of the note.

Prerequisites

To use this calculation model, you have made the following settings in Customizing:

  • In the Customizing activity Edit General Settings, you have completed the following (see Customizing under Start of the navigation path Financial Services Next navigation step Master Contract Management Next navigation step Master Contract Applications Next navigation step Facilities) End of the navigation path:

    • You have set up the mode for currency translation.

    • You have selected the Deactivate Check Limits checkbox.

    • You have deselected all check limits. These are no longer used for the functions of the limit check, and the system ignores them.

  • In the Product Configurator of the master contract, you have created new products for your facilities, and set up the following attributes in particular (see Customizing under Start of the navigation path Financial Services Next navigation step Master Contract Management Next navigation step Product Management Next navigation step Product Definition Next navigation step Master Contract Products End of the navigation path):

    • Facility Control

    • Calculation of the Effective Utilization

    • Calculation of the Nominal Utilization

    • For facilities with term restriction and loan accounts: Check criterion

  • You have made the required settings in the Customizing activity Use New Pattern for Master Contract Participation.

  • 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.

Note Note

If you have technical reasons for not wanting to send the changed values of a particular calculation basis to the master contract-managing system, you can specify this as optional. You do so in the Customizing activity Mark UCBs not relevant for Account Products. (see Customizing under Start of the navigation path Financial Services Next navigation step Account Management Next navigation step Technical Settings End of the navigation path)

End of the note.

Note Note

You can use a Business Add-In (BAdI) to control the inclusion of time-dependent shares of the effective utilization (prenote balances and subject to final payment balances). You find this BAdI in Customizing for Master Contract Management under Start of the navigation path Master Contract Applications Next navigation step Facilities Next navigation step Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) Next navigation step BAdI: Evaluation of Time-Dependent Shares of Effective Utilization End of the navigation path.

Unless you define otherwise, the system includes time-dependent shares if they are valid on the current system time stamp. However, in this BAdI you can specify that the system includes these shares if they are valid on the current posting date. These dates and times may be different during end-of-day processing or in test systems and can result in different utilizations.

End of the note.

Caution Caution

If you have used releases prior to banking services from SAP 7.0, you need to regenerate your master contract hierarchies before you use the calculation model.

End of the caution.
