Executing Condition Type Offset 

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 F996 – 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.

Condition type offset is executed in the BCA_SL_EARNINGS_CREDIT function module during a settlement run, the cumulative calculation results for settlement (table BCA_TAB_CALC_RESULT_COLL) are offset against each other.

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

The sequence in which you entered the subtrahend condition types in Customizing does not determine the sequence in which the subtrahends are used in the offset.

The position number with which you entered the minuend condition type in Customizing determines the sequence in which the minuends are used in the offset.

If the amount of the subtrahends has not reached zero at the end of the offset, the system automatically sets the amount to zero. These condition types are not posted as it is not possible to pay out the unused amounts nor to carry them forward to the next period.

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:

·        Minuends

¡        Item charge

¡        Account maintenance charge

·        Subtrahends

¡        Credit interest

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

Item charges	3.50 EUR
Account maintenance charges	10.00 EUR
Credit interest	5.89 EUR

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.
