Use
The service charges that come due during the course of the year are collected on settlement units and are thereby recorded as costs in the profit and loss statement.
Depending on how the contract conditions for advance payments for service charges are defined, these advance payments either appear in the balance sheet (posted as advance payments to a special G/L account) or in the profit and loss statement as revenue.
Using the function for accrual/deferral of service charges, you can have the system list costs and advance payments that are due totaled by business entity and service charge group. (This groups together different settlement units based on their service charge keys.) This evaluation is based on a simulation of service charge settlement.
During this process, the system determines the following for each business entity and service charge group:
- External apportionable costs
- Costs that arise on vacant rental objects
- Costs that arise on your own contracts for internal use
- Costs that cannot be apportioned due to settlement participation
and
- Advance payments that were already made for these costs, and which are recorded in the balance sheet
- Advance payments that were already made for these costs, and which are recorded in the profit and loss statement ("Advance Payments as Revenue")
- Advance payments that were posted for vacant rental objects
In Customizing, you specify if any of these cost groups are transferred during accrual/deferral. The user can still change the amounts before the transfer (for example, because the result of the simulation does not correspond to the actually expected rental situation).
Standard Customizing is set up so that external apportionable costs and advance payments as revenue (with inverse posting to the costs) are accrued/deferred. This means that those costs are accrued/deferred that can be apportioned externally and for which the advance payments are recorded in the balance sheet.
Requirements
Standard settings
Activities
In this section, you define the service charge groups and assign flow types to them for accrual/deferral.
You also specify which service charge keys belong to which service charge group.
You assign the flow types themselves and the resulting account determination in the IMG activities of these sections: Condition Types and Flow Types and Accounting.
You assign service charge groups to advance payments for settlement participation in the IMG activities of this section: Service Charge Settlement -> Settings for Rental Objects and Contracts Participating in Settlement.
The relevant sections are linked in the IMG documentation for defining service charge groups.
If you want to use different settlement schemas for accrual/deferral, you need to make additional settings for the settlement schema by choosing Service Charge Settlement -> Settlement Process -> Define Settlement Parameters. Specify there which settlement schemas are active for accrual/deferral.
