Use

In this section, you define measurement types for:

Architectural objects

Usage objects (business entity, building, property, rental object)

Contracts (for service charge settlement)

Measurements are used to record measurable traits of objects. The measurement type indicates the type of trait that is being measured. Area measurements are also recorded as measurements. There is a special indicator that identifies area measurements. This makes it possible to run special reports on areas and for the system to check the unit of measurement for area.

The measurements of a rental object are used for example in service charge settlement for determinining apportionment, and in option rate determination for determining the option rate. You specify the measurement type that plays a role in these calculations in the settlement unit or in the option rate method. Measurements are also the basis for the calculation of condition amounts.

Activities

Choose New Entries.

On the detail screen, you can specify the Real Estate object for which the measurement type is allowed. If you want a measurement type to be proposed as the default in the application, choose Criterion is default for object (on screen) for the object type. To ensure that the measurement type is not deleted, choose Criterion for object is required entry (on screen) .

The settings Default or required entry are recommended for measurements that are needed for subsequent processes.

  • For rental objects, you can also specify per usage type if a measurement type is allowed or not.

    For measurement types that you want to allow for all rental objects, you enter the following in the Allowed for RO field:

    • Criterion permitted for object
    • Required entry, or
    • Default

      Set the No Exception indicator. The system then ignores the differentiation by usage type.

  • The same procedure applies for architectural objects. You can also specify per architectural object type if a measurement type is allowed or not. If you set the No Exception indicator, the system also ignores the differentiation by architectural object type.

For contracts you specify in addition the contract reference. You can also define per contract type whether a measurement type is allowed or not and whether there is to be an object reference. If you set the No Exception indicator, the system also ignores the differentiation by contract type.

Properties of service charge settlement

The system applies these settings only if the For Apport. (for apportionment) indicator is set. For more information on the individual indicators, refer to the help documentation for these indicators.

If you use external heating expense settlement, then you have to assign either no or one basic component for heating to exactly one measurement type. (You may have to do the same for the basic components for Hot water and for Other.)

Measurement types in Customizing:

  • A = Area: such as floor area
  • M = Measurement: other measurements, such as number of parking spaces
  • U = Usage: consumption, such as water consumption
