Definition

For one-time conditions, specifies if the system should take progression over time of the condition referred to into account. Also determines if the system should generate absolute difference postings, if applicable (see Difference).

Remember that this function can only be used effectively when the reference conditions are not subject to graduated increases over time (grading agreement).

Example

The one-time condition is a fee (three times the basic rent) that is paid when the contract is initially signed. At each contract change, the fee is three times the change amount, regardless of whether this is an increase or decrease of the basic rent. The progression of the amount of the referred condition over time is as follows:

Valid From    Condition    Amount

01/01/2000    Basic rent     1,000.-

01/01/2001    Basic rent     1,100.-

01/01/2002    Basic rent     1,050.-

01/01/2003    Basic rent     1,200.-

Assuming that periodic posting was performed on a monthly basis and there was no due date correction for the change fee, then the cash flow would contain the following entries for the one-time condition:

Calculation From    Calculation To    Flow type    Amount    Due Date

01/01/2000    01/01/2000     Initial fee    3,000.-    01/01/2000

01/01/2001    01/01/2001     Change fee     300.-    01/01/2001

01/01/2002    01/01/2002     Change fee     150.-    01/01/2002

01/01/2003    01/01/2003     Change fee     450.-    01/01/2003
