Account determination for the periodic posting of the general contract is based on the condition types as stipulated in the contract.

In the contract, the agreed amount is defined for each condition type. Each condition type is assigned a flow type when the condition type is created in Customizing. The flow type is the basis for the account determination.

Account determination via the flow type is defined in the "Account Determination Rules for General Contract" Customizing dialog box.

The following is defined for each flow type:

  • Document type of the posting
  • Posting key for the debit and credit postings
  • Symbolic names for the accounts to which postings will be made.

    The account symbols are assigned to specific accounts for each chart of accounts.

In addition to the flow type, the account determination value, which you have to define in the contract, can also be used to separate the account determination.

Example

Condition type "9100 Credit side basic rent" is assigned the flow type "V100 Basic rent" (Customizing dialog box "Condition types and condition groups"). If a condition with condition type "9100 Credit side basic rent" is agreed on in the contract, a corresponding entry is made in the cash flow. The program for the periodic posting then uses this entry to determine which flow type has to be used as a basis for the posting.

In the "Account Determination Rules for General Contract" in Customizing, the following data is defined under flow type V100:

Flow type V100 Acct Determination Value +
Debit 40 1000 Occupancy costs
Credit 31 * Recon./spec.G/L acct
Document type CR

The "+" sign in the "Account determination value" field acts as a wildcard character; regardless of the account determination value,the account determination rule is consistent here. Document type CR is used (it must have been defined beforehand in Customizing for Financial Accounting). The debit posting is made using posting key 40 to symbolic account "1000" and the credit posting is made using to posting key 31 to the symbolic account "*".

A descriptive text for the symbolic accounts can be found in the Customizing dialog by clicking "Symbols".

You can display and maintain the account assignment via the "Accounts" function.

The following is defined in the example for the chart of accounts INT:

* If the reconciliation account (valid for all charts of accounts) of the vendor is 100 and the posting key is 31

Account 470000 is occupancy costs.

In the periodic posting, the following entry in the contract

Condition type 9100 Credit side basic rent 100 USD

generates the following posting:

Document type CR

31 Vendor account 100 USD C
with an automatic posting to the reconciliation account that is defined in the vendor master record

- to -

40 470000 Occupancy costs (Aux. acct ass. contract)100 USD D

If these postings are subject to sales tax, the tax codes defined in the contract conditions are used for the posting. You have to define the account determination for tax posting in Customizing.

In addition to the posting, which is triggered by the condition, you can also generate derived postings to credit the contract and debit the objects. Requirement for this is the definition of a distribution rule for the costs in the general contract data. Flow types must also be defined for the distribution postings; these flow types are assigned as reference flow types to the original flow types via the relationship key 034.

Example

Condition type "9100 Credit side basic rent" is assigned the flow type "V100 Basic rent". The contract states that the costs are to be distributed to two tenant-rented business entities, 40% to BE 1 and 60% to BE 2. The flow type for the distribution posting is assigned to relationship key 034 as a reference flow type. This is flow type V500 in the example:

In the "Account Determination Rules for General Contract" in Customizing, the following data is defined under flow type V100:

Flow type V500 Acct Determination Value +
Debit 40 1000 Occup. costs
Credit 50 1000 Occup. costs
Document type SA

According to the rule, the debit posting is made with posting key 40 to symbolic account "1000" as is the credit posting with posting key 50 also to symbolic account "1000". (In the supplied Customizing, the same accounts are defined for the debit and credit postings in the examples. However, we suggest that you choose different accounts in order to maintain a clear overview.)

In the periodic posting, the contract entry

Condition type 9100 Credit side basic rent 100 USD

generates (except for the above-named vendor posting) the following posting in conjunction with the distribution rule mentioned in the example above:

Document type SA

50 Occ. costs (Aux. acct ass. contract) 100 USD C

- to -

40 470000 Occup. costs (Business entity 1) 40 USD D

40 470000 Occup. costs (Business entity 2) 60 USD D
