Documentation

Definition

You use this indicator to select the appropriate update method for the flat-rate value adjustment procedure.

There are 2 update methods:

1. Difference procedure

Value adjustments are formed throughout the year and still affect the balance sheet. Changes are made to the value adjustment basis by the posting of differences to the last FVA status in the RBD component.

2. Reset procedure

Value adjustments created throughout the year are reset (reversed) on the following working day and so do not affect the balance sheet. The FVAs formed at the end of the fiscal year remain unchanged, since these are included in the balancing. Changes to the FVA calculation base in the subsequent year are always calculated as difference postings to the FVA status of the last balance key date.
