Use

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

Requirements

Standard settings

The standard system includes TBE variants for inflation adjustment 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 and a short text.

    You do not need to enter a posting variant for the purposes of Financial Accounting (FI). It is only needed for Asset Accounting (FI-AA).

  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 date of the inflation index 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 the inflation method. This TBE variant will be used by all FI Inflation Accounting programs by default.

You can also assign a TBE variant to an inflation key if you need to adjust a given G/L account at different intervals from those specified in the inflation method TBE.

Example

For the purposes of this example, assume that:

  • Your fiscal year runs concurrently to the calendar year
  • You are required to adjust your G/L accounts for inflation 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.

Year    Month    Day    Post    Month    Day    Prev. year
