Documentation

Definition

Amount that reflects the change requirements for the value adjustment position accumulated for the previous billing periods in response to a usage.

Use

A usage is generated whenever a loss posted for the relevant source system contract can lead to utilization (usage) of value adjustment positions accumulated in previous periods.

The change requirement for usage can be:

  • Usage (negative amount, indicated by "-")

    Which means a reduction of the value adjustment risk provision position created in previous billing periods.

  • Reset usage (positive amount, display without +/- indicator)

    Which means an increase of the 'value adjustment' risk provision position by partial or complete reversal of the usages built up by previous evaluations.

In the Customizing activity Define Settlement Period Change, you can define billing periods that vary from the calendar year.

Dependencies

A usage posting always reduces the value adjustment position created in previous billing periods.

Example

  1. In a previous billing period, a value adjustment position of EUR 1,000 was accumulated for source system contract A.
  2. In the current billing period, the source system contract is written off totally; the loss posted in the source system is EUR 1,200.

    RBD generates the following postings:

    • Usage of EUR 1,000
    • Direct write-off of EUR 200

      The value adjustment position accumulated in previous periods for source system A is reduced at most by the amount of the loss. To prevent a negative value adjustment position from arising, the usage cannot be greater than the value adjustment position. The remaining amount of EUR 200 is posted as a direct write-off. Direct write-offs do not affect the value adjustment position.
