Features

Tenant service charge principle on lease-out

In the service charge settlement, the system calculates the difference between advance payments made and proportional service charges. When you are making the settlement, the tenant is identified by using the posting date of the service charge settlement if you have set the indicator for the tenant service charge settlement on the lease-out.

The tenant is charged the total of all costs incurred. This process calculates costs for the entire settlement period and does not take into account tenants who have been renting for only part of the settlement period. The crucial factor in this process is the fact that tenants who are renting at point in time when the settlement is made are the ones who are charged. All advance payments made for the settlement period are also assigned to them.

Both debit-side and imputed down payments from the vacancy debit position of the rental unit are taken into account.

If you have not set the tenant service charge indicator, all tenants in the entire settlement period are identified and the service charge shares are distributed to the tenants exactly to the day.

Tenant service charge principle on rental unit (vacancy)

If you have set the tenant service charge indicator on the rental unit and the apartment is vacant, all the down payments made in the settlement period (this may also include any imputed down payments) are transferred to the cost center of the rental unit as credit .

The receivables are posted to the cost center as costs .

Assign the flow types to the service charge keys in Customizing for Real Estate for the debit position of costs. The system assigns a reference flow type, for which you have to set the accounts, to the flow type.

You also have to specify to which G/L accounts the advance payments already made are be transferred if a rental unit becomes vacant. For this reason, you have to make a reference for the advance payment (identified by means of the flow category) to the G/L account to be posted (setting in Customizing for Real Estate).

Advance payment transfer

The system takes account of different tax codes of the previous and current tenant by crediting the advance payments of the previous tenant to the current tenant (with the current tax code).

After you have made the service charge settlement, the batch input session is extended by several line items. The customer taxes are subtracted, then the new taxes of the payee are added.

The posting log has been extended by several line items that are identified by *Output tax transfer posting.

The total of the tax adjustment lines appears in field VIAK20-BSTKORR and can be used for the correspondence function. This tax adjustment line is added to the standard correspondence.
