In this IMG activity you can define rules for automatic determination of account assignment references for the parallel valuation areas. You define the rules for each product group. In this document, the product groups securities' and 'listed options / futures' are dealt with together.

To make postings to a position, you have to assign account assignment references to each subledger position and each class position in a securities account.

The system determines the account assignment references for the subledger positions in the parallel valuation areas when you first post the position in the parallel valuation areas using the Post Transactions function [transaction TPM10]. The account assignment references for class positions in securities accounts are determined when you first post a payment (such as interest) for the class position using the Manual Debit Position function [transaction FWZE]. The system first checks whether an account assignment reference has been allocated manually using the function Process Account Assignment Reference Allocations [transaction TPM3]. If no manual assignment has been made, the account assignment reference is determined according to the rules defined in these IMG activities.

Requirements

You have defined account assignment references in the IMG activity Define Account Assignment References.

Standard settings

The sample Customizing settings contain examples of rules for determining the account assignment reference automatically for each product group.

Recommendation

Note that the valuation area can also be used as an optional parameter to control account determination, and therefore does not necessarily have to be included when determining the account assignment reference.

Activities

  1. Call up the IMG activity. The Determination of Account Assignment Reference: Change Strategy screen appears.

    In this screen you can enter rules for determining the account assignment reference for the respective product group.

    The rule can involve various steps. The system follows these steps in order until it is able to determine an account assignment reference for the position in question.

    A step can consist of a derivation rule or an assignment:

    • Step type derivation rule
      • In a derivation rule you can choose various source fields (such as the currency or product type), the values of which are used as a basis for assigning the account assignment reference (target field). You can make the use of a derivation rule dependent on the fulfillment of a condition.
    • Step type assignment
      • In the case of an assignment, you specify the value to be written to the target field (account assignment reference). You can also make an assignment dependent on the fulfillment of a condition.

      SAP recommends that you first define the more specific derivation rules (such as those tied to conditions), and then make the less specific settings. The last entry should be an assignment that takes effect if the system is unable to allocate an account assignment reference on the basis of the preceding rules. This ensures that an account assignment reference is determined each time.

      Note:

      If no account assignment reference can be determined, the update to Accounting is cancelled.

  2. Defining a derivation rule
    1. Choose the pushbutton Create step. In the dialog box, select Derivation rule and confirm your entry.
    2. Enter a text for the derivation rule.
    3. On the Definition tab, enter the fields you want to use to control the account assignment reference allocation in the Source fields section. In the Target fields section, choose the field AA_REF for the account assignment reference.

    4. You can enter conditions for applying the derivation rule on the Conditions tab.

      5. Example:
      If you want this derivation rule to apply to all product categories except for one, select the field PRODUCT_CATEGORY from the possible entries for the Name field. In the operator field Op., enter the symbol <> for not equal to. In the Value field, you then enter the relevant product category.
    5. The settings on the Attributes tab are not supported.
    6. You now have to assign the account assignment references to the values of the source fields. To do this, choose the Maintain rule values pushbutton.
      7. In the table that follows you can assign account assignment references to combinations of source field values. The first column contains the first source field you selected, the second column the second source field, and so on. The last column contains the target field Account assignment reference. You can then select the relevant values from the possible entries (F4).
      Example from the Loans Management area:
      Source fields: Product category and Loan term
      Target field: Account assignment reference
      The table then appears as follows:

Source field 1    Source field 2    Target field

Prod. cat.    Loan term    Acct assignment ref.

300    1    40002

300    2    40001   

300    3    40001   

300    4    40001

300    5    40001   

300    6    40001

300    9    40001

310    1    40002

310

...

  1. Define assignment
    1. Choose the Create step pushbutton. Select Assignment in the dialog box and confirm your entry.
    2. Enter a text for the assignment.
    3. On the Definition tab you have two options: You can either choose a source field, the value of which is then written to the target field "account assignment" [in this case, all the values of the source field must correspond to short keys for account assignment references], or enter the short key for the account assignment reference directly in the Constant field.
    4. On the Condition tab you can make the assignment dependent on the fulfillment of a condition.
    5. Select AA_REF account assignment reference as the target field.
  2. Changing the order of the steps

    You can change the order of the steps after they have been defined. To do this, proceed as follows:

    1. Select the step you want to move.
    2. Position the cursor beneath the target position.
    3. Choose Move.

Example

The following settings have been defined:

  1. Derivation rule 1: Account assignment reference for fixed-interest securities issued by German institutions

    Source field: Country of origin: DE

    Target field: Account assignment reference: REFERENCE1

    Condition: Product category = 040

  2. Derivation rule 2: Account assignment reference for fixed-interest securities

    Source field: Product category: 040

    Target field: Account assignment reference: REFERENCE2

  3. Assignment: For all other product categories

    Constant: REFERENCE3

    Target field: Account assignment reference

The system first checks whether an account assignment reference can be determined using derivation rule 1. If this is not possible, it checks if derivation rule 2 can be applied. If the criteria for rule 2 are also not fulfilled (this would be the case for a stock purchase, for example), the account assignment reference defined in the assignment step is used. (If you enter an account assignment reference in the Constant field for an assignment without attaching any conditions, this account assignment reference is used for all positions not covered by the preceding derivation rules).
