Use

You can use condition type offset for a special price concept for accounts. The amounts of specific condition types are calculated but not posted during the settlement run, rather they are offset against the amounts of other condition types. The result is posted as a settlement posting.

Integration

To display the results of the condition type offset, you need to set the Settlement Results Total indicator (transaction BCA_ACBAL_ACC_S – Execute Account Settlement ) when you settle the account.

All condition types of the account that were part of the condition type offset are flagged by the field Used in Condition Type Offset . This field is in the table BKK92_SUMS (Totaled Amounts of a Settlement (Interest and Charges)).

Prerequisites

You created condition type offset methods in Customizing under  Account Management(FS-AM) Product Management Settlement Define Condition Type Offset Method .

An account does not participate in condition type offset until the relevant condition type offset method is assigned to the account in the account product under the Settlement feature attribute, or on the Settlement tab page in account processing.

Scope of Functions

In condition type offset, the system subtracts the amount of the condition types defined in Customizing as subtrahends from the amount of the condition types defined in Customizing as minuends.

A subtrahend condition type is used in the offset until ist amount is zero. The next subtrahend is then used if the amounts of the minuends are larger than zero.

If the amount of the subtrahends has not reached zero at the end of the offset, the system automatically sets the amount to zero. The system does not post these condition types because it is not possible to disburse the remaining, unused amounts. You can offset the surpluses in future settlement periods within the transfer period defined in Customizing. The system displays these transfers from condition type offset in the Balances and Key Figures under  Settled Period Surpluses From Condition Type Offset.

The minuend condition types are processed in addition settlement steps with their reduced amounts.

If a correction is made in a previous period, then all condition types are recalculated and offset accordingly. The difference to the result from the previous condition type offset is posted as an adjustment posting.

Example

Condition type offset method 100 was defined in Customizing with the following condition types:

Offset method 100 is assigned to account 2704. The settlement run produced the following results:

The condition type offset can be as follows:

3,50 - 5,89 = -2,39

Item charges are reduced to 0. Credit interest of 2.39 remains.

10,00 - 2,39 = 7,61

The remaining credit interest is subtracted from the account maintenance charge, producing a result of EUR 7.61. The credit interest has been offset totally.
