Use

In this IMG activity, you maintain time base and exposure to inflation variants (TBE variants).

In Inflation Accounting for Asset Accounting (FI-AA), the TBE variants have two different purposes. You assign them to either of the following:

  • Period control methods

    These TBE variants control, ultimately, how the Asset Revaluation (Inflation) program handles asset transactions that are posted partway through an interval.

  • Revaluation keys

    You assign one TBE variant to each revaluation key. This TBE variant instructs the Asset Revaluation (Inflation) program which inflation index date's value to use to revaluate the asset.

Requirements

Standard settings

The standard system includes TBE variants for asset revaluation at intervals of one day, one month, six months, and one year. If they match your requirements, you can use them or copies of them.

Activities

If you need to create a TBE variant of your own, proceed as follows:

  1. Create the header data, including the TBE variant ID, short text, and posting variant.
  2. Create an entry for each interval.

    For example, if you want to create a TBE variant for inflation adjustment at monthly intervals, create one entry for each month (see example below).

    For each interval, enter two dates:

    • On the left-hand side of the table, enter the last day of the interval.
    • In the example, an entry has been made for the last day of each month.
    • On the right-hand side of the table, enter the inflation index date that is to be applied to this interval.
    • Typically, you use the index published for the last day of the interval, in which case, enter the same date as on the left-hand side. In some cases, however, you are required to use an inflation index from a previous interval.

Once you have created the TBE variants, enter one in each revaluation key.

Example

For the purposes of this example, assume that:

  • Your fiscal year runs concurrently to the calendar year
  • You are required to revaluate your assets at the end of every month

In this case, you make twelve entries in this table (see below), one for each interval. Because the intervals are the same each year, you can enter the year as 9999, which denotes a recurring interval.
