Postings are normally determined directly or indirectly by a condition type:

  • The debit position uses the flow type assigned to the condition type.
  • The vacancy debit position uses the reference flow type for vacancy derived from the flow type for the condition type
  • And so on

However, in some cases, a reference to a condition type cannot be established for a posting; instead, a flow type with an activity reference, and not a condition reference, is required.

The activities to which this applies are described using flow categories; the flow category determines the flow type used to control the posting.

In this section, you assign flow types to the flow categories. Flow types have to be assigned to the following flow categories:

Flow Category     ID

Follow-up postings     3NCH

Cash deposit     A

Administration costs surcharge     3VWZ

Unqualified down payment     3UAN

Unqualified down payment     9UAN (General contract)

Unq. down paymt fr. calc.adv.pymt     3UAK

Unqual. down payment to G/L acct     3UAS

Calc. adv.paymt to G/L acct     3UAV

Trans. adv.p. own use to G/L acct     3UES

Trans. adv.payment own use to AP     3UED

Installment payment rent arrears     3RAT

Installment payment rent arrears     9RAT (General contract)

Underpayment     3UNT

Underpayment     9UNT (General contract)

Irrecoverable debt     3UNB

Irrecoverable debt     9UNB (General contract)

Apportionment risk loss     3UAW

Returned debit memos     3RET

Bank charge for returned debit memos     3GEB

Explanations:

  1. All follow-up postings, for which no reference flow types for follow-up postings were found, are handled via the flow category 3NCH. One flow type each is required for the follow-up posting of credit memos and one for the follow-up posting of debit memos. We recommend using the corresponding reference flow types to make the follow-up postings.

    If you do not assign the flow category 3NCH a flow type, this will ensure that 3NCH is used for follow-up postings, which do not have a reference flow type. The system issues an error message if follow-up postings are required for flow type that does not have a specific reference flow type.

  2. For the cash deposit treatment, an entry for the flow category A is required. When you create a cash deposit, this flow category aids the determination of the flow type used for placing the cash deposit in the cash flow.
  3. If a percentage surcharge is added to the service charge settlement results and charged to the tenant, the posting record required is taken from the flow types assigned to the flow category 3VWZ. This surcharge is charged to all participating rental agreements. It is used in Switzerland.
  4. If, within the service charge settlement, a percentage surcharge is charged on the settlement result only applying to tenants of objects with a certain usage type, you can post this surcharge via the the flow type of the flow category 3UAW. This surcharge is used in Germany in particular for publicly financed apartments. The usage type must be identified respectively (see Service Charge Settlement -> Basic settings).
  5. The flow category 3UAN is used to post unqualified down payments (for example, unassignable incoming payments) to customer accounts. It is also used for transferring the advance payments received in the service charges settlement when the usage type is third-party rental (no own use). Flow category 9UAN is used for general customer contracts. Only the credit item is relevant for creating the posting record, the debit posting is determined from the environment.
  6. The flow category 3UNT is used to post underpayments. Flow category 9UNT is used for general customer contracts.
  7. The flow category 3RAT is used to post installment payments. Flow category 9RAT is used for general customer contracts.
  8. The flow category 3UNB is used to post irrecoverable debt. Flow category 9UNB is used for general customer contracts.
  9. Flow categories 3RET and 3GEB are used to post a returned debit memo. This posting generates a new open item for the amount of the original debit memo (3RET) and an item in the amount of the bank charges (3GEB).
  10. The flow type for the flow category 3UES is required in cases where advance payments were posted within the debit position for rental agreements for own use. In this case, these advance payments are to be credited to the renting cost center during the service charges settlement.
  11. Tenant service cost settlement (Austria)

    The flow categories 3UAS, 3UAV, 3UAK and 3UED are required for the service charges settlement in cases where the tenant service cost settlement (Austria) is to be applied to the following objects, which have the following function:

    The flow category 3UAS is used when the usage type changes from third-party to own usage in a settlement period. In this case advance payments made by the third-party tenant have to be credited to the cost center that has rented the the rental unit on the date of the settlement. This method is valid only for the tenant service cost settlement. It also applies in cases where the rental unit after third-party usage in the settlement period is vacant on the date of the settlement (posting to vacancy cost center).

    The flow category 3UAV determines the flow type used for transfer posting when the rental unit was vacant in the settlement period and is vacant or occupied for own use on the date of the settlement (tenant service cost settlement only).

    The flow category 3UAK determines the flow type used for transfer posting when the rental unit was vacant in the settlement period but is occupied by a third-party tenant on the date of the settlement. In this case, the advance payments are posted (on an accrual basis) in the vacancy period. Transfer these advance paymens to the customer account of the tenant on the date of the settlement.

    The flow category 3UED determines the flow type used for transferring the advance payments when the rental unit was occupied for own use in the settlement period and occupied by a third-party tenant on the date of the settlement.

    The flow category 3UES determines the flow type used for transferring advance payments if after the own use in the settlement period, the rental unit is vacant or occupied for own use on the date of the settlement.

Activities

  1. Check whether all of the flow types have been assigned correctly.
  2. If this is not the case, change the assignments
    1. FCat: Key of the flow categories predefined by the system.
    2. FTyp1: Key of the first flow type to be assigned to the flow category.
    3. D/C: Indicator as to whether the first flow tpe is a debit or a credit posting. This indicator is automatically determined from the flow type.
    4. FTyp2: Key of the second flow type to be assigned to the flow category. Provided that the indicator FCat1 refers to a debit posting, the credit posting has to be set at this point, and vice versa.
    5. D/C: Indicator as to whether the second flow type is a debit or a credit posting. This&#x
