Use
In this section, you specify contract types. The contract type controls the purpose the contract is used for. Possible contract tyoes include:
- Lease-in
- Lease-out
- Management
- Assessment contract (COA)
- Purchase
- Sale
- Service contract
- Security deposit agreement
- Internal right of use
- and so on
The contract type influences how the contract behaves during various processes. The influencing parameters are explained below:
Specifies:
- External contract:
The main contractual partner is a customer or vendor with an account reflecting this status (customer/vendor account or FI-CA account). - Internal contract:
The contract serves the purpose of allowing regular posting of costs and revenue to a cost center, order or project. - G/L account contract:
The contract is used for repetitive postings to a G/L account (for example, for accrual or deferral postings).
Offerer/User indicator
Specifies, from the point of view of the company code where the contract is created, if an object or service is being offered or used. For example, you should choose Offerer for assessment contracts (company code: COA, contractual partner: owner) and lease-outs (company code: object company code, partner: tenant). This setting ensures, for example, that the system finds the correct contracts during service charge settlement and COA settlement.
For contracts, for example, where the company code leases in an object, you should set this indicator to User.
Specifies how the assignment of objects to a contract affects these objects. Along with the Offerer/User indicator, this indicator controls certain processes, such as settlement processes ("leased out", "assessment contract") and option rate determination ("leased out").
If you choose Objects are leased-out in this field, then you can only assign object groups and rental objects to the contract in the user dialog. This applies regardless of which object types (buildings, rental object, business entity, and so on) you assigned to the contract type in the Allowed Object Types per Contract Type IMG activity.
Contract Type - Security Deposit Agreement
You can create a security deposit agreement that belongs to a contract. Here you specify the contract type for this security deposit agreement. Choose the contract type using the input help. The system only offers contract types here that have been designated for security deposit agreements.
Recommendation:
You should create at least one contract type for security deposit agreements. If you want to use security deposit agreements for objects that are leased-in as well as those that are leased-out, then you should create two different contract types for the two different purposes.
Influence on Holdings
This indicator is only relevant in the context of land use management. It controls how the assigned parcels are considered in the area analysis.
Screen Sequence
Here you can choose a screen sequence that has already been defined. In this way, you specify which screens appear in which order in the maintenance dialog for this contract type.
SAP provides screen sequences in the standard system. The following can be used for normal contract maintenance:
- SAP Contract: Contract Maintenance
This is the standard screen sequence. - Like standard screen sequence, but with quick overview:
Compared to the standard screen, the view of the objects, the term and assignment of profit center and business area are displayed in a more simplified form on the first screen. This screen sequence is best suited for contracts to which normally only one rental object is assigned (that is, residential lease-outs). - SAP Contract: Housing Contract
The screen sequence is simplified in comparison to the standard screen sequence. It is more suited to lease-out contracts in which usually only one object is leased (such as a lease-out for an apartment). - SAP Contract: Security Deposit Agreement
Here the screens that appear are only those related to security deposit agreements. You should assign this screen sequence to contract types for security deposit agreements.
Condition Group
You can assign contracts only conditions with condition types from the condition group entered here for the contract type. Choose an appropriate condition group, or create a new condition group and assign condition types to it. In the Update Period field, you specify how far in advance cash flow records are generated by entering the number of years.
Partner Management
In this area you can specify one or two roles for the main business partner. You cannot activate a contract until it has exactly one business partner with this role.
Object Groups
In this area, you specify how numbers for object groups should be automatically generated.
Number Range
In this area, you specify the number range interval that provides the numbers for this contract type.
Additional Parameters
Certain default values (condition group, option rate method) depend on the contract type. Therefore, SAP recommends that you create different contract types for commercial contracts and residential contracts.
Activities
Check the standard settings and change them as needed. To do so, select the contract type and choose @16@ Details.
To define new contract types, choose New Entries. Enter a name for the contract type, and make the specifications described above.
Customizing for Flexible Real Estate Management is already fully set up for four-character contract types beginning with CO, CU and CX. The other contract types are used in Classic RE. If you do not already have contracts in the system that use the Classic RE contract types, you can delete Classic RE contract types.
