Deactivating Accrual Objects
Use
You can deactivate an accrual object for a specific key date (deactivation date). This gives the accrual object the status
Completed
. This has the following consequences:
The accrual object is not considered in accrual runs that take place after the deactivation date. This means that there are no accruals postings for the accrual object.
Accruals that have already been posted are not reversed.
Calculated accruals from before the deactivation date are posted if you perform a periodic accrual run for this period.
Activities
You can deactivate an accrual object in both a test run and an update run.
Example
You want to perform accruals for an amount of 12,000 USD for the period from 01/01/2003 to 12/31/2003 on a period (linear) basis. You define the accrual object with a relevant accrual type and perform the periodic accrual runs. On 03/15/2003, you deactivate the accrual object for the deactivation date 04/15/2003.
In this case, the following actions are performed:
Date |

02/28/2003 |

|
03/31/2003 |

9000 USD |
In total, 3000 USD is released periodically, and 9000 USD is posted as deactivation.
