Function documentationPayment Structure and Payment Structure Variants Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

You use the payment structure to define the financial mathematics conditions (such as type and number of periods, frequency, when due in period, installments to be paid, interest to be paid, as well as validity period) according to which payments are made in a leasing deal. You can configure the payment structure to meet the specific requirements of the lessee.

SAP Leasing provides a generic concept for the payment structure: You can define as many payment structure variants as you want in Customizing and then assign these in the master data of the financing product. In the product you can assign several variants to a pricing process. When you create a product in the master data, you enter the specific details for the variant in the payment structure. This means that you always use different variants for pricing.

You can use the following functions within the payment structure:

  • Payment structures with annuities

  • Installment repayment structures

  • Deferral of repayments and interest in the payment structure

  • Broken periods with settings for pro-rated calculations

  • Different payment frequencies for interest payments and repayments

  • Weekly payments in the payment schedule

  • Up to three concurrent fees in the payment schedule

  • Working day shift based on financial mathematics
