In this menu option you define general valuation classes (GVCs) and special valuation classes for each valuation area and assign these classes to each other.

Note:

  • In the parallel valuation areas, the valuation classes are valuation-independent; that is, the assignment of the valuation class alone provides no information on the valuation of these positions. In the IMG activity 'Assign Position Management Procedure', you define the rules for assigning position management procedures to positions. The valuation class is one of the criteria that you can use to assign the position management procedure.
  • The special valuation class is a fixed differentiation criterion for adapting the subledger positions.

You make the following settings in this IMG activity:

  1. Define general valuation classes

    On an abstract level, the general valuation classes allow the trader in the front office to group the positions.

    Example: General valuation classes

    • long-term investment
    • medium-term investment
    • short-term investment

      When purchasing 1000 shares, for example, the trader could determine to which GVC this position is to be assigned. This would represent a grouping at an abstract level.

  2. Define valuation classes

    Here the valuation classes are defined for each valuation area, it is implicitly defined how the balance sheet is to be structured.

    Example:

    Valuation area    Valuation class

    001 HGB    Fixed assets

    001 HGB    Current assets

    002 US-GAAP    Held to Maturity (HtM)

    002 US-GAAP    Available for Sale (AfS)

    002 US-GAAP    Trading

  1. Assignment of general valuation class to valuation class

    Example:

Gen. valuation class    Valuation area    Valuation class

short-term    001    Current assets

short-term    002    Trading

medium-term    001    Fixed assets

medium-term    002    Available for Sale (AfS)

long-term    001    Fixed assets

long-term    002    Held to Maturity (HtM)


If a trader in the front office has assigned a position to the GVC short-term (long-term), then the position is assigned to valuation class current assets (fixed assets) in valuation area 001 HGB, and to valuation class Trading (Held to Maturity) in valuation area 002 US-GAAP.

Further notes

  • Assign General Valuation Class to Groups
  • You can define proposals for assigning general valuation classes when entering transactions in Customizing under Securities / Listed Derivatives / OTC Derivatives -> Transaction Management -> Assign General Valuation Class.
