Use
In this Customizing activity you define the RBD area. Proceed as follows:
- Step 1: Define RBD area
You must assign the following values to the RBD area.
Field Effect
Company code This is where you must store the target company code of the connected posting system - the company code in which risk provision postings are to be posted to corresponding FI accounts.
Foreign exchange rate indicator No longer relevant, replaced by the Exchange Rate Category field
Account currency Default value of the RBD account currency, which is the default currency when you create a new RBD account. You can overwrite the default value when you create an RBD account.
Aggregation level Default value of the aggregation level, which is the default level when you create a new IVA account. You can overwrite the default value when you create an RBD account.
Layout Default value of the RBD display variant for output of posted risk provisions on the #Bank Statement# tab page of the RBD account dialog.
Exchange rate type This is where you define the exchange rate type to be used to calculate the local currency amounts for RBD flows whose transaction currency is not the same as the local currency.
Posting: apply principle of dual control This is where you indicate whether to apply the simplified principle of dual control to the RBD area when posting RBD planned records.
Reversal: apply principle of dual control This is where you indicate whether to apply the simplified principle of dual control to the RBD area when reversing RBD actual records.
- Step 2: Assign aggregation level of IVA to RBD area
After you have defined the required RBD areas, you must define the aggregation levels that are permitted when you create a new IVA account. For each RBD area, the system presents only these aggregation levels for selection in the application.
Example
- Step 1: Define RBD area
You want to create a RBD area '0001 SAP AG', which is assigned to FI company code 0001. When you create RBD accounts, the system proposes the default account currency 'Euro' and the aggregation level 'Contract'. On the Bank Statement tab page of the RBD accounts of this RBD area, the system is to output the posted risk provision (actual records) in the transaction currency. The EURX rate is used to calculate local currency amounts. The principle of dual control should be applied to the posting of RBD planned records and to the reversal of RBD actual records.
RBD Area Description Company Code Foreign Exchange Rate Indicator Account Currency Aggregation Level Layout Exchange Rate Type Posting: Principle of Dual Control Reversal: Principle of Dual Control
0001 SAP AG 0001 <empty> EUR Contract Display in transaction currency EURX X X
- Step 2: Assign aggregation level of IVA to RBD area
All three aggregation levels, contract, finance project, and partner are to be available for the creation of RBD accounts in the RBD area "0001".
You select the entry for RBD area 0001. You then execute the activity Assign IVA Aggregation Level to RBD Area. The system inserts three entries for contract, finance project and partner in the table:
RBD Area Aggregation Level
0001 Contract
0001 Finance project
0001 Partners
