Documentation

Definition

The calculation method specifies whether 30 days or the actual number of days of the corresponding month are used for calculating the whole month on a proportionate basis.

Use

Indicator 1: 30 days for every month is set:

Calculation base is always 30 days.

Indicator 2: For exact day is set:

Calculation base is always the number of days of the respective month.

If the calculation method is not specified, calculations are made based a 30-day month.

Dependencies

A calculation is only made if a proportionate calculation is set in the Pro rate field.

Example

Contract term    02/15/95 - 12/15/95

Condition amount    USD 1000

Pro rate    0 (Always proportionate)

Calculation method    1 (30 days per month)

In this case USD 533.33 (16/30 of 1000) is determined as the amount for February, USD 1000 for March to November and USD 500 (15/30 of 1000) for December.

If you use calculation method 2 (exactly to the day) instead, the amount determined for February is USD 500 (14/28 of 1000) and USD 483.87 (15/31 of 1000) for December.

If you change the proportion indicator, the amount is 1000 DM each time, independently of the calculation method for the non-proportionate periods.
