Use

In this activity, you define the calculation rule that you want the system to use to determine the accrual values for derived accrual types. In this calculation rule, you can also use the operators that you have defined.

Requirements

You must have already created you accrual types in the IMG activity Define Accrual Types.

Standard settings

Activities

  1. Choose New Entries.
  2. Make the following settings:
    • In the Accrual Type field, enter the derived accrual type for which you want to define the calculation rule.
    • Enter the required accounting principle for the derived accrual type.
    • Enter the sort number.
    • Enter an operator, such as Add, according to which you want the accrual values to be determined.
    • Enter the referenced accrual type from which you want the derived accrual type to be determined.
    • Enter the referenced accounting principle for the referenced accrual type.
  3. Save your calculation rule.

Example

In this example, you calculate and post your accruals according to just one country-specific accounting principle (01).

When you create an accrual object, you can choose between the following accrual types:

  • RVNUES (revenues)
  • COSTS

You also want to accrue the profit using the formula PROFIT = RVNUES - COSTS. To do this, you have to make the following settings.

  1. In IMG activity Define Accrual Types, create an additional accrual type PROFIT.

    The operators Add and Subtract are provided by SAP in the standard system.

  2. Create a calculation rule for adding the revenues with the following entries:
    • Accrual type: PROFIT
    • Accounting principle: 01
    • Sort number: 1
    • Operator: Add
    • Referenced accrual type: RVNUES
    • Referenced accounting principle: 01
  3. Create a calculation rule for subtracting the costs with the following entries:
    • Accrual type: PROFIT
    • Accounting principle: 01
    • Sort number: 2
    • Operator: Subtract
    • Referenced accrual type: COSTS
    • Referenced accounting principle: 01

In Accrual Engine Reporting, accrual type PROFIT is then taken into account if all referenced accrual types necessary for the calculation are available. This means, for example, that the accrual type PROFIT is considered provided that the referenced accrual types RVNUES and COSTS are available. If accrual type PROFIT is marked as To Be Posted, the value determined is posted during the periodic accrual run.
