Use

Due to the introduction of a new base year for the consumer price index in Germany, SAP has standardized all existing consumer price indexes. As a result, certain indexes that can be linked to rent changes are no longer available. Therefore, SAP recommends that, over the longterm, you convert contracts that are linked to now invalid index series.

In the interim, SAP provides this conversion table for updating outdated index series with the new consumer price index (also called rebasing).

Requirements

Standard settings

Activities

For the target series, enter an index series for which you want to convert the index values to those of the target year, but for which index values are no longer reported. For the target year, enter the base year that you want to convert the index values to.

As source series, enter the index series, for which index values are provided for the source year. For the source year, enter the base year for which index values are reported.

Assign the chaining date (month and year on which the index levels for the rebasing are entered).

Currently valid index series in Germany per 01/01/2003: Consumer Price Index for Germany (VPI)

Currently valid base year per 01/01/2003: 2000

Currently valid chaining date per 01/01/2003: 12/01/1999
