LAE: Configuring Value Determination 
You perform the following Customizing activities in SAP ERP. You first define the value IDs and the settings for value transfer. The system can transfer values from the CRM contract (data about items, classification, and conditions), from the customer master data (KNA1), or the material master data (MARA).
For more information, see the SAP Customizing Implementation Guide.
Create value IDs.
Recommendation
A value ID can consist of a maximum of 10 characters. However, we recommend that you do not use more than 8 characters because if the value is determined from a preceding document you have to enter the ID in quotation marks and this uses up two characters.
In the following activities, define which values are transferred to these value IDs from the contract item, the customer master data, or the material master data:
Transfer values from contract item
Transfer values from material master record
Transfer values from customer master record
We provide three value IDs. However, you require the following additional values for a simple leasing scenario:
Structure Field |

CONTSTARTDT |
SAPSTRT (default setting) |
DEVICECLASS |
SAPDEVCLAS (default setting) |

Transfer values from condition types.
The conditions can come from the billing plan and from the physical or financing product. If the conditions come from the billing plan, assign the condition and the flow category to the value ID. If the conditions come from the physical or financing product, assign only the condition to the value ID (because there is no flow category).
If a condition represents a periodic payment and is processed as such in the LAE, you have to set the PP (Condition Type/Value ID Represents Periodic Payment) indicator. If it is a periodic payment but you want to accrue interest and repayments separately, you have to enter the corresponding conditions and flow categories as 1 Interest Amount or 2 Repayment Amount.
Example

2 Repayment Amount |
Transfer values from contract classification.
In SAP CRM, you can enter the classification for the contract item by default for each accounting principle. This does not mean that this classification is automatically copied to SAP ERP; this classification must be interpreted and processed in ERP Customizing.
The following data for the contract item is required from SAP CRM:
Accounting principle (accounting principle in SAP ERP)
Classification group
Checkbox: The indicator is set if the classification for the contract item was predefined in the CRM system.
The Customizing settings are based on the company code group (if used).
You need to make the following entries for a simple leasing scenario with one accounting principle:
Company Code Group |
