Procedure documentation Changing an Interest Compensation Account Hierarchy Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Prerequisite

To change a current (used) interest compensation hierarchy, you must first neutralize this, then copy it and make the changes to the copy.

If a hierarchy is being used, the following actions cannot be performed directly in the hierarchy. Used in this connection means that an interest compensation run has already been executed.

·        You cannot add an account to the hierarchy that was created before the hierarchy, or to which you have already made postings.

·        You cannot remove an account from the hierarchy

·        You cannot change the interest compensation method of the hierarchy

·        You cannot change the “valid from” date of the hierarchy

·        You cannot change the balancing date, key date and time periods of an account in the hierarchy

Caution

Do not frequently change the interest compensation account hierarchy. Frequent changes have a negative effect on the performance of account balancing: Every change to the interest compensation account hierarchy has to be taken into consideration during account balancing.

Procedure

...

       1.      In the main menu choose Account ® Account hierarchy ® Change.

       2.      Specify the bank area and the account number of the root account and choose Enter.

       3.      Choose either the icon Change interval or the menu option Hierarchy ® Change interval.

       4.      Change the “valid to” date to the last balancing date of the hierarchy and save your entries.

The current interest compensation hierarchy has been neutralized.

       5.      In the main menu choose Account ®  Account hierarchy ® Create.

       6.      In the upper section “Account Hierarchy”, specify the bank area and the account number of the root account of the hierarchy just neutralized.

       7.      In the upper section “Account Hierarchy”, as "valid from" date enter the last balancing date +1.

       8.      In the lower section “Template”, also specify the bank area and the account number of the root account of the hierarchy just neutralized.

       9.      Save your entries.

Result

The new hierarchy corresponds exactly to the neutralized hierarchy, the only difference being that the copied hierarchy has not yet been used and can, therefore, be changed. Now you can add new accounts to or remove accounts from the hierarchy.
