Make the following basic settings in Customizing for Financial Accounting:

  1. Global parameters for the company code
  2. Business areas

    Real Estate objects can be assigned to business areas. Set up business areas, if required, and allow business area balance sheets to be created.

  3. Determine fiscal year
  4. Maintain variants for posting periods, determine and open posting periods
  5. Define document number ranges and document types

    As a minimum, you will need the following document types:

    1. debit-side document types for debit positions such as

  • rents
  • service charges settlement
  1. G/L account document types
  • for the vacancy debit position
  • for the service charges settlement (credit the cost account)
  1. credit-side document type for posting settlement documents for active owner settlement

  1. Maintain posting key

    Note:

    Special debit-side G/L transactions are required for the service charges settlement. The following examples are contained in the delivery Customizing:

Posting key 09 with the special G/L transactions

J Advance payment request (operating costs, heating expenses sales-based rent)

K Reversal of advance payment for operating costs, heating expenses, service charges

U Reversal of advance payment for sales-based rent

C Refund of cash deposit etc.

Posting key 19 with the special G/L transactions

J reversal of advance payment request (operating costs, heating expenses, sales-based rent)

K received advance payment for operating costs, heating expenses, service charges

U received advance payment for sales-based rent

C received cash deposit

The special G/L transactions have to be from the category Down Payment

  1. Maintain field status variants

    Note:

    In field status groups relevant for G/L accounts with real estate account assignments, you have to set the "Real Estate Management" and "Financial Assets Management" groups as optional fields. This is a minimum requirement.

    The following fields are in these groups:

    1. Real Estate Management:

  • Real estate key (COBL-IMKEY, the internal encryption for the account assignment objects for the Real Estate Management component)
  1. Financial Assets Management:
  • Flow type of Financial Assets Management (needed for account determination)
  • Contract number (rental agreement or management contract)
  • Contract type (for Real Estate contract type 3)

  1. Define document change rules

    Note:

    Changes to the real estate account assignments cannot be permitted as the changes to the Real Estate account assignment made in the Financial Accounting document do not affect the Real Estate account assignment in the Cost Accounting tables. Changes made in the Financial Accounting document are not updated in the Cost Accounting tables. You must include the COBL-IMKEY field in the document change table for account type S (G/L accounts) and mark it as 'not changeable'.

    Note:

    We recommend defining corresponding screen variants for the fast entry of real estate account assignments. Usually, two variants are enough:

    1. One variant for the direct account assignment to real estate objects containing the fields Business entity, Building (and possibly Property, Rental unit, and Rental agreement)
    2. One variant for the entry of apportionable service charges containing the business entity, service charges key, recipient key and reference date fields
  2. Entry screen for account assignment models

    If you want to use account assignment models, we recommend setting up account assignment models for real estate account assignments.

  3. Sales tax

    You have to create the sales tax codes required for the rental agreements and the input tax codes required for invoice entry.

  4. Reversal reasons

    We recommend saving reasons for the reversal of documents, for instance resulting from debit positions or other posting transactions in Real Estate Management, in Customizing of Financial Accounting.
