To configure detailed data for the company in JVA, enter information for the following categories:
- Processing expense postings
- JVA processes Cutback and Billing
- Asset and material management for JVA
- JVA Cost Calculations process
Example
Requirements
Billing
Before you specify the billing structure on the company detailed data screen, you should set it up in JVA Billing configuration.
Asset and Material Management
Before specifying the asset settings for the company detailed data, you must set up the following:
- Chart of depreciation in Asset Accounting
- Depreciation areas for book, billable, and non-billable in Asset Accounting
- Recovery indicators to be assigned to asset postings in JVA configuration
- Transaction types for transactions involving JVA assets in JVA configuration
Cost Calculations
Before you can specify the exclusion sets containing accounts to be excluded from certain cost calculations, you must set up the exclusion sets in JVA configuration.
Before international region companies can specify the cost object (cost center, WBS element, or order) to receive the expense postings from parent company overhead processing, this object must be defined in CO.
Standard settings
Cost Calculations
Expenses booked to the sets of accounts that you specify in the exclusion set fields will be excluded from JVA cost calculation processing.
Recommendation
Activities
Processing Expense Postings
You may specify the maximum number of equity groups allowed to be active (i.e., expenses can be posted to it) at one time for a combination of equity type and joint venture for the company by entering a number in the Max. Activ E. Grps. field.
The bank account settings are relevant to international region companies. If you select Venture Bank Acc., you should specify a funding group for each venture, and JVA documents posted in your company will be updated with the bank account number for each venture.
You may flag the Bank Acct.Switch on field, to indicate that a Venture Bank Account is to be used. If this flag is marked, the JV integration manager will check each document to ascertain whether the document is relevant for the switch. The program will not overwrite existing entries, so it is re-runnable and period independent.
You may choose to post corporate documents as well as joint venture documents in JVA by selecting Post corp docs in JV. Posting corporate documents in JVA could significantly increase the size of the JVA ledgers.
You may choose to treat recovery indicator determination differently than the usual handling for non-clearing bank lines by selecting RI Switch for Banks. This indicator allows the recovery indicator of the cost object to which the posting was originally made to be stored with the non-clearing line. When this indicator is selected, the corporate recovery indicator (specified on the JV Company Code: Corporate Data screen) will be assigned to the non-clearing line, with the recovery indicator of the cost object stored on the line as the original recovery indicator.
Settings for JVA Processes Cutback and Billing
To configure the JVA processes Cutback and Billing, you should specify settings for the following elements:
For Billing, you must specify a Billing Structure and indicate whether taxes should be included in expenditure detail reporting in the Tax on exp. detail field.
International region companies should indicate how the exchange rate for foreign currency exchanges should be determined by an entry in the Exchange rate type field and whether Cutback postings should be made in the transaction currency, or as on default, in the funding currency.
If Post tax to next per is selected, Cutback will post taxes in the following period rather than in the current period (default).
For companies using Carried Interest and Net Profit Interest (CI/NPI) functionality, you should indicate whether CI/NPI postings should be made to FI and whether gross expense postings to the venture should be applied to determine payout for a CI partner within the venture. Normally, CI/NPI postings are made only in JVA, and net expense postings to the CI partner (i.e., post-Cutback expenses) are applied against the CI partner to determine when payout is reached. If you select CI posting in FI, then an FB01 will be generated for CI postings to the partner. On default, the partner's CI expenses are posted as a GB01.
If you select Gross CI postings, the gross expenses for the venture plus the penalty will be applied against the revenues for the partner's share to determine payout. When the partner reaches payout, no posting of residual revenues is made, but the partner is converted to working interest.
Settings for Asset and Material Management for JVA
To configure functionality based in the standard AM and MM modules for special use by JVA, you should enter settings for the following:
In the Chart of dep. field, you should specify the chart of depreciation for the JVA company. This must be set up in Asset Management configuration.
In the Assign asset to vent field, you should specify the type of the CO cost object that should be used to determine the venture that owns an asset. Joint ventures are set for each cost object when it is defined.
To track billable and non-billable postings to assets, AM links recovery indicators for these two types of postings to specific depreciation areas. The following three fields are used to identify the depreciation areas or sets of asset books that will be maintained for the JVA company. These fields indicate whether the costs booked in each area are billable or non-billable.
Net book postings will be stored in the depreciation area specified in the Book depreciation field. Standard asset accounting in SAP designates depreciation area 01 as the book depreciation area.
Gross billable costs will be stored in the depreciation area specified in the Billable Cost Area field. Gross non-billable costs will be stored in the depreciation area specified in the Non-billable cost field.
You can indicate whether the current replacement price (CRP) for materials and assets should be calculated by the system in the CRP calculation field.
You can indicate whether standard AM transactions types are to be used to book JVA asset acquisitions, transfers, and retirements in the Use std. AM trans. field. As part of AM configuration for JVA, you can define transaction types to be used for JVA asset transactions.
In the Index series field, you can enter the name of a series of values to be used to provide an annualized update of CRP for assets. This series can be used to adjust prices for a variety of reasons (e.g., inflation).
In the AM/MM Method field, you should enter the code for the method of handling AM and MM postings for the company. Different methods are available for the three different JVA regions.
In the Mess.for Budg.impact field, enter the code for the type of message to be delivered if a budget impact CO element is missing for an asset being transferred.
There is a Selection field on every AM transfer screen. You can link this field to a specific field of the asset master record to identify more precisely the type of asset being transferred. To link the selection field to a field of the asset record, specify the table containing the asset master record in the Table name field and the field containing the record to be used to identify the type of asset in the Field name field. ANLA-ORD41, for example, represents the EVAL 1 on all asset master records.
In the CRP Tax Code field, enter the code for the tax to be applied to CRP postings.
In the Corporate RI for AM field, specify the corporate recovery indicator (specified on the JV Company Code:Corporate Data screen) to be used to book non-billable asset sales. The recovery indicator specified in this field will be substituted for the recovery indicator derived from the CO object.
