In the service charge settlement the system automatically:
- Posts the credit entry for the settlement unit
The account number for the credit entry posting is derived from the account number of the account to which the costs were originally posted.
- Posts the debit position for service charges
The reference flow type, " receivables from settlement", derived from the reference flow type that is used for posting advance payments, is used for postings to customer accounts. When a final settlement is posted, the debit position flow type is based on the service charge key that is to be settled.
- Transfers the advance payments
- Exceptions:
- Tenant service charge settlement (Austria). See Tenant service charge settlement IMG activity documentation for additional information
- Rounding differences (Switzerland)
Example:
One object has two rental units, RU1 and RU2. You want to post a settlement for the year 1999. The rental units were leased out as follows:
- RU1
Rental period: 1/1/99 - 3/31/99 with RA 1.1 to tenant 1.1
Vacancy: 4/1/99 - 4/31/99
Rental period: As of 5/1/99 with RA 1.2 to tenant 1.2 - RU2:
Rental agreement for entire period (1/1/99 - 12/31/99) with RA 2 to tenant 2
Conditions:
- RA 1.1 Advance payments of $100 per month
- RA 1.2 Flat rate payments of $100 per month
- RA 2 Final settlement, no advance payments
For the entire period (1/1/99 - 12/31/99), service charges amounted to $3000 and were posted to account 470400:
40 account 470400 with auxiliary account assignment to settlement unit
-to-
31 vendor
The apportionment units determine the breakdown of service charge costs and (if applicable) vacancy costs between tenants:
- $ 500 tenant 1.1
- $ 700 tenant 1.2
- $ 600 tenant 2
- $ 200 for the vacancy of RU1
Credit entry for the settlement unit
Breakdown accounts are specified:
IMG -> Service charge settlement -> Keys and rules for settlement -> Account determination, posting key, document types -> Accounts, posting key for breakdown and revenue postings
The following accounts are determined for account 470400:
SAP account name Number Description
Credit account SC 470499 Credit exp. operating costs
Clearing account RA 470500 Settl.RA
Clear.acct RA w/o furth. clear 470500 Settl. RA w/o furth. clear
Clearing account RU 470520 Settl.RU
Clear.acct non-ded. input tax 470950 Settl. n.d inpt tx
Credit non-ded.input tax 470999 Credit n.d inpt tx
When you start to post the service charge settlement, you have to specify a document type. The service charge settlement contains the following posting items:
PK Account (auxiliary account assignment) Amount
50 470499 (credit account) (settlement unit) $3000
40 470500 clearing account (RA 1.1) $500
40 470500 clearing account (RA 2) $600
40 470500 clearing accnt RA w/o furth. clear (RA 1.2) $700(flat rate)
40 470520 clearing acnt RU (RU1) $200(vacancy)
Master Settlement Unit
When a master settlement unit is to be settled, there are two steps:
- Costs are settled to the other settlement units according to the master settlement distribution key
- After costs have been settled to these settlement units, costs are passed on to the rental agreements and rental units as described above. Three accounts are needed for settlement to the master settlement unit:
- One account to which the credit for the master settlement is posted
- One account to which the debit for the (actual) settlement units is posted
- One account to which costs are posted that cannot be passed on to the tenant.
Example: One janitor is responsible for two business entities. The costs of the janitor should be distributed as follows:
30% to the settlement unit belonging to business entity 1
50% to the settlement unit belonging to business entity 2
20% are non-apportionable costs (such as plant maintenance tasks) that are posted to a cost center
These distribution rules are defined in the master settlement unit.
The system uses the cost element 470400 apportionable operating costs to post the total costs of $ 1000 to the master settlement unit.
Make sure that these settings have been made in Customizing:
Text Account Account Name
Cost element credit master SU 470499 Credit apportionable operating costs
Cost element recipient of MSU* 470400 Apportionable operating costs (o.c)
Cost element resid. costs MSU 470498 Credit residual o.c of master SU
*MSU=master settlement unit
With these settings in Customizing, the system makes the following postings to the credit side of the master settlement unit:
PK Account (subsidiary account) Amount
50 470499 Credit apportionable operating costs (MSU) $1000
40 470400 Apportionable operating costs (SU for BE1) $300
40 470400 Apportionable operating costs (SU for BE2) $500
40 470498 Credit residual operating costs MSU (cost center)$200
Posting: Tenant account debit position
The system posts the tenant share of the costs to the tenant customer accounts. This does not apply to tenants who pay flat rates.
The posting record to be used is determined as follows:
A flow type is assigned to the condition type "advance payment" that is included on the rental agreement. The reference flow type 'receivable from settlement' (relationship key 004) is determined for this flow type and the account determination rule that has been defined for this flow type is used.
Example:
Flow type 2001 is assigned to condition type "advance payment operating costs". In the dialog box "Assign reference flow types" the reference flow type 2005 is in the relationship key 004 ('receivable from settlement') and it is assigned to the following account determination rule:
Flow type 2005 Corp.group ID + Main usage type + AccDetVal +
Debit 01* Reconcil. account
Credit 50 205 Revenue from o.c. settlement
Document type DR
Account symbols:
* Reconcil. account for customer master record
205 841500 Revenue from OC settlement
Text Account
Net rev. account 841500 Revenue from operating costs settlement
RevAcctNDInpTax 841900 Revenue from non-deductible input tax operating costs
In this example the system makes these postings to tenant 1.1:
01 Customer tenant 1.1. for rental agreement 1.1. $ 500
50 841500 revenue settlement subsidiary account RA 1.1. $ 500
If a final settlement has been fixed in the contract, a flow type is derived from the settlement service charge key.
IMG -> Service charge settlement -> Keys and rules for settlement -> Final settlement: Assign service charge key/flow type
This flow type determines the reference flow type and the reference flow type determines the acccount.
Posting: Transferring advance payments to tenant accounts
The tenant advance payments are offset against any outstanding receivables in the settlement so you have to know in advance what advance payments
