Definition

The operator defines how the accrual values of a derived accrual type are calculated from the values of the referenced accrual type.
The corresponding calculation rules are defined in Accrual Engine Customizing, under "Define Calculation Rules for Derived Accrual Types" (View V_TACE_ACRTYPE_O). Note the following:

There are two types of operator:

  • Operators that require a referenced accrual type
    To calculate the values for a derived accrual type, the accrual method is first performed for the referenced accrual type.
    The operator is then applied of the values calculated in this way, in order to retain the values for the derived accrual type.
    Examples:
    • Transfer only
      The values are taken over from the referenced accrual type
    • Add
      The values of the referenced accrual type are added to the result (= derived accrual type).
    • Subtract
      The values of the referenced accrual type are subtracted from the result (= derived accrual type).
  • Operators that do not require referenced accrual types
    Examples:
    • Shift 1 year
      The shift method calculates the values for the same period in the following year.
