LAE: Value Determination Using Basis Payment Schedule 
You perform the following Customizing activities in SAP ERP.
You define value IDs whose values are calculated from different cash flows, such as sum of payments, present value, and interest rates. To calculate interest rate or present values, the system has to create a cash flow with an outgoing payment (for example, a financed amount) and several incoming payments (for example, periodic payments, residual value). Using different criteria, you can create the cash flow from different components with different dates.
For more information, see the SAP Customizing Implementation Guide.
Add value IDs to basis payment schedule.
You configure the value IDs based on a process. The value IDs that you enter for a process are the maximum selection. When you define a payment schedule in step 4, use a subset of the data entered here.
You can also enter values that are to be used in only one accounting principle. You do this by entering the corresponding accounting principle.
Enter a reference date for each value ID. This date indicates where the value is positioned in the cash flow.
Example
Process |
Value ID |
Reference Date |
|---|---|---|
NEWL |
SAPRESVAL |
CONTENDDT |
NEWL |
FINAMNTNEG |
LEASTARTDT |
Transfer dates from contract for defining payment schedule.
In this IMG activity, you specify which date entries are used to create a cash flow. You can use the settings provided in the standard system for a simple leasing scenario.
Transfer dates from value IDs for defining payment schedule.
Define payment schedules.
In this IMG activity, you define which payment schedules are used to calculate payment sums and interest rates, for example. First create a payment schedule and enter a name. Then assign the required value IDs.
Example
Example for Sum of Payments
Payment Schedule: SAPSUMPAYS (Sum of Payments)
Value ID: SAPPAYMNT; From Date: LEASTARTDT; To Date: CONTENDDT
(SAPPAYMNT is taken from the condition 4F10 with flow category ANPY and INTP and was selected by the system as relevant for the payment schedule)
Example for Interest Payments
Payment Schedule: SUMINT (Sum of Interest Payments)
Value ID: PAYINT; From Date: LEASTARTDT; To Date: CONTENDDT
(PAYINT is taken from the condition 4F01 with flow category ANPY and was selected by the system as relevant for the payment schedule).
Example for Repayments
Payment Schedule: SUMREPAY (Sum of Repayments)
Value ID: PAYREPAY; From Date: LEASTARTDT; To Date: CONTENDDT
Example for Interest Rates
Payment Schedule: IIRNEW (Interest Rate NEWL)
Value ID: FINAMNTNEG;
Value ID: SAPPAYMNT; From Date: LEASTARTDT; To Date: CONTENDDT
Value ID: SAPRESVAL
(FINAMNTNEG was calculated using a formula; the two other values are taken from conditions)
Note
Value IDs that do not represent payments are not assigned to a payment schedule with a date. You assign a date to these value IDs in the IMG activity Add Value IDs to Basis Payment Schedule.
