The debit position for vacant rental units posts the imputed costs resulting from the conditions of the rental units.
Use this function if you want to evaluate vacancy as imputed costs.
Rental unit
Cost centers
If you want to post the imputed costs to one cost center of an organization, you should post it to the rental unit. The posting can also be made for all company codes . In this case, the posting can be made to a cost center belonging to another company code in the same controlling area.
If the rental unit is not assigned to a cost center, you post the expense to the rental unit itself.
Cash flow
When there is a vacancy, the cash flow is updated for the condition amounts defined (in Real Estate Customizing).
With every subsequent debit position for the vacancy, the system uses the cash flow and posts the receivables according to the conditions defined. The posted records are identified with the indicator I as actual records.
Changes made in retrospect could result in subsequent postings (such as retrospective activation of a lease-out).
Account determination
You have to define a special account determination for vacancy postings in Real Estate Customizing. The conditions to be posted are selected by means of
reference flow types.
The relationship category
Vacancy
is used.

Rental unit
The only rental units taken into account are:
Vacant rental units (system status EMPTY)
Rental units on which conditions are maintained
If the accrued expense is posted to the rental unit (no assignment to cost center), the rental unit must have the following status pattern:
Rental unit is released (system status REL)
No deletion flag set (DLFL)
No account assignment lock set (system status AALK)
You carry out a debit position per company code. Debit position runs can be simulated or reversed. A posting and error log informs you about the status of the debit position at all times.
The system posts due flow records that have not yet been posted, but that are due (planning records in cash flow) via the debit position as imputed expenses.
The posting made is
imputed costs
to
imputed revenue
.
The revenue account assignment made to the rental unit; the costs account assignment can be made by:
either
To a cost center, if this has been assigned to the rental unit, or
To a vacant rental unit, if no cost center has been assigned
Note
For rental units subject to the Austrian tenant service charge settlement , vacancy postings have to be made to the advance payment conditions.
Background Job
The periodically occurring debit position runs may be automated as required by the user; the system itself initiates the processing on the requested dates.
This takes place by means of a background job.
