Adjusting Advance Payment/Flat Rates

The system calculates the new advance payments or flat rates according to settings in Customizing or additional fields.

  • Settings in Customizing for Real Estate

You set the minimum amounts for the reduction and increase of condition amount adjustments in the service charge settlement. These amounts are defaulted for each condition type. The adjustment is only carried out if the difference amount between the old and the new condition does not reach or exceed the minimum amount .

  • Settings in the application

You can enter the minimum amounts for each settlement run in the selection screen of the settlement. If you do not enter data in the Minimum amount for increase / Minimum amount for decrease fields the settings from Customizing are used.

Advance payments/flat rates are not adjusted if:

  • The lease-out (LO) has the occupancy type Own use

  • The LO is for a limited period and the end of the lease-out lies before the adjustment date

  • The condition type of the lease-out is blocked for the adjustment

  • The condition type of the lease-out has already been adjusted and activated for that date

  • The condition type of the lease-out is not valid throughout

  • The condition type of the lease-out is settled in different settlement periods

  • The amount of the condition rate has not changed

  • The minimum amount for the reduction of the condition rate has not been reached

  • The minimum amount for the increase of the condition rate has not been reached

Adjusting the advance payment: Percentage surcharge

When you adjust an advance payment, you can enter a percentage surcharge that acts as an additional increase on the adjusted advance payment.

Old amount = 40 USD

Advance payment adjustment = 50 USD

Percentage surcharge = 10 %

Actual adjustment = 55 USD
