Help Document

Diagnosis

A condition that is defined in the contract is already valid before. However, no objects are assigned to the contract on that date. In that case, the system (when this distribution formula "" is used) generates a cash flow starting with the earliest valid-from date of the object assignment, even if the calculation formula is independent of the object (such as "Fixed Amount").

This could be what you want the system to do, for example, if you want to make sure that no more conditions can be posted when the assignment of the last object has ended.

However, if you do not want this to happen, you have to create a new condition, with the same calculation formula but a different distribution formula, for the period before . You have two options. Either do not enter any distribution formula at all (in this case, the system generates a payment-related cash flow before the , but not an object cash flow), or choose a distribution formula that requires the distribution object to be entered explicitly (based on the internal formula "Object"). In the latter case, you can choose any distribution object, such as the contract itself, or an object that is assigned to the contract later.

Example

  • Condition
    • Basic rent, 1000
    • Fixed amount, calculation object is contract (or rental object)
    • Distribution "Divided Equally"
    • Valid from contract start date until "Unlimited"

  • Object Assignment
    • Rental object 0001/1/1
    • Valid from contract start date until December 31, 2003

The cash flow is generated only until December 31, 2003. When you save the new valid-to date, the system generates follow-up postings, if the following applies: The rental object was assigned to the contract on an unlimited basis beforehand and periodic postings were already made for January 2004 at the time the valid-to date of the rental object was changed.

To have the system still charge 1000 even after December 31, 2003, change the first contract condition and add a second contract condition.

  • Condition
    • Basic rent, 1000
    • Fixed amount, calculation object is contract (or rental object)
    • Distribution "Divided Equally"
    • Valid from contract start date until December 31, 2003

  • Condition
    • Basic rent, 1000
    • Fixed amount, same calculation object as in first condition
    • No distribution (or "Object" - "RO 0001/1/1" or "Object" - "Contract Itself")
    • Valid from January 1, 2004 until "Unlimited"
