Use
Here you define the representative lists of rents that you need. Since representative lists of rent differ from city to city, there are some menu options here that you only need for specific representative rent lists. Representative lists of rents are used primarily in Germany and the Netherlands. The information here reflects mainly the German usage for residential rents in cities. However, since you can flexibly define the representative list of rents, and since the customer exits offered allow even more room for making your own changes, the representative list of rents method can be used on a more general basis to handle other types of rent adjustments that are based on rules. This is especially true if the rent (or other condition) being adjusted is dependent mainly on the size, location, fittings and fixtures, age, and possibly other attributes of the rental object. Use this guide for defining new representative lists of rent. You can use the settings for the sample representative list of rents that is provided in Customizing as a reference.
For some representative lists of rents, there are various means of representing them in the system. If you are unsure about which means to use, choose the way that is the least complicated for the end user, and therefore leads to fewer errors.
Note
SAP does not guarantee the correctness of the values in the example. The data provided is intended only as an example.
Requirements
You entered an adjustment rule for the representative list of rents in the Define Adjustment Rules IMG activity.
Standard settings
Activities
To create a new representative list of rents, choose New Entries. Enter the ID for the representative list of rents in the Repr.rent list field. The system uses this ID to address the representative list of rents in the adjustment rule.
If the structure, or even just the values, of the representative list of rents of a city change, then create a new representative list of rents (or copy the old one). Link the two representative lists of rents by choosing the References dialog structure node. In this case, you do not have to change the representative list of rents that is referenced in the master data. The system automatically determines from the assignment data that the new representative list of rents is used. However, keep in mind that changes to the structure of the representative list of rents can also bring changes of master data along with them.
On the detail screen of the representative list of rents, you enter the structure and basic data for this representative list of rents in the Basic Data screen area. Basic data includes:
Validity period
Currency for the values in the dependent tables
The for determining the base value for the representative list of rents
Area type, that is used for the measurements in the representative list of rents table (this is not allowed to be a total measurement type for area)
Area unit for these values
If the individual cells of the value tables in your representative list of rents have names, and you want to process these names, then set the Rep. List of Rents Uses Rent Label indicator. This can simplify communication with tenants.
Using the Rep. List of Rents Uses Characteristic Categories indicator, you specify if fixtures and fittings characteristics for surcharges and reductions are considered in the calculation of rent using the representative list of rents.
You also specify the structure of the representative list of rents here (Dimensions for Calculating Basic Rent). This structure specifies the parameters on which the table of base values for the representative list of rents is dependent (key fields of the value table, which you edit in the Specify Basic Values for Representative List of Rents IMG activity). These values can be dependent on the following classes or categories:
The Fixtures and Fittings Category You enter both of these on the rental object, and evaluate the location or fixtures and fittings in relation to a specified representative list of rents. Some representative lists of rents contain concrete specifications about which sections of the city can be placed in which location classes, or which fixtures and fittings an apartment is allowed to have or not have to be assigned to a given fixtures and fittings category.
You might not want to leave the implementation of these specifications to the employee who handles the data of the rental object. Instead, you might want to have this take place automatically. In that case, you can use the BAdIs for rental object maintenance to make the necessary validations or substitutions. For more information, refer to the Define Number Assignment, Validation Substitution IMG activity. However, in many cases it is sufficient for your employees to refer to the concrete, plaintext representative list of rents that is provided as an example. The file stored here in Customizing can be accessed as read-only in the master data of the rental object. Use the link to the Business Document Navigator by choosing Documents for RLR (PDF or similar.).
The Size Class and the Building Age Class These are determined automatically from the size and construction year of the rental object.
Enter all other data to complete the basic data of the representative list of rents:
References (as described above, used if the structure of the representative list of rents in the master data has changed)
Building age classes If the representative list of rents uses building age classes, then define a building age class for each time period defined in the representative list of rents. If the representative list of rents does not set time limits for the beginning and end of the categories, then leave the From Date in the oldest building age category and the To Date in the most recent building age category blank.
Location Classes If the representative list of rents uses location classes and you specified that in the basic data, then you define these location classes here. Enter a text for the location class (this is also displayed when you process the rental object).
Size Classes If the representative list of rents uses size classes, and you specified that in the basic data, then you define these size classes here. Enter the size margin for each class. If the representative list of rents does not specify an overall upper and lower limit, then omit these values in the smallest and largest size class.
Fixtures and Fittings Categories If the representative list of rents uses fixtures and fittings categories, and you specified that in the basic data, then you define these fixtures and fittings categories here. Enter a text for the fixtures and fittings category (this is also displayed when you process the rental object).
Representative List of Rent Labels If the representative list of rents uses representative list of rents labels, and you specified that in the basic data, then you define these representative list of rents labels here. Enter the assigned text for the representative list of rents label. The representative list of rents label is not maintained on the rental object. Instead, it is determined from the value table during the adjustment.
Characteristic Categories If the representative list of rents uses characteristic categories for surcharge and reduction categories, and you specified that in the basic data, then you define these characteristic categories here. Enter the assigned text for the characteristic category. Enter the divisor that should be used for dividing the total point value of the assessment. Also specify how often characteristics in this characteristic category can be designated as "applicable" during processing of the rental object. For each characteristic category, you can assign weighting factors that are used for calculating rent based on the amenities level sign. For informational purposes, you can enter the number of the table of the representative list of rents that should be used for this characteristic category.
Characteristic groups If you use characteristic categories, you can group the characteristics of a characteristic category together into characteristic groups. Here you define the groups, and specify for each group how often characteristics in this characteristic category can be designated as "applicable" during processing of the rental object.
