Use

In this IMG activity, you maintain the inflation indexes that you want to use to revaluate your assets.

Unlike in Inflation Accounting for Financial Accounting (FI), where you enter one inflation index in the inflation method to represent the general inflation index, in Inflation Accounting for Asset Accounting (FI-AA), you have to assign an inflation index to each asset separately.

Requirements

Standard settings

The system comes complete with sample inflation indexes for a number of country versions. You can use these indexes themselves or you can use them as the basis for creating new inflation indexes.

Activities

For each inflation index:

  1. Enter the header information, including the index ID, short text, and format.
  2. Create a version for the index and enter the version number in the header data.
  3. Maintain the index values as follows:

    When you first customize the Inflation Accounting solution, enter the index value for the first interval that you want to adjust your accounts for and the value for the previous interval. For example, if you start using the solution at the beginning of 20X2 and you are required to revaluate your assets every month, enter the values for January 31, 20X2 and for December 31, 20X1. The system needs this information in order to be able to calculate the net inflation rate for January.

    Then, as the government publishes the inflation index values, enter them in the inflation index. The system automatically displays this value in the other formats.

Composite Inflation Indexes

To define a composite inflation index:

  1. Define the indexes that it is composed of as described above.
  2. Create a header for the composite inflation index.

    As well as the usual header information, select Comp. Ind. (Composite index).

  3. Select the composite index header and double-click Composite Indexes.
  4. Specify which indexes the composite index is composed of and, in the Factor field, how each of these component indexes is weighted.
