Service Charge Settlement
Application component: Service Charge Settlement
App type: SAP GUI
Description:   For executing service charge settlement, you can use the transaction Execute/Continue Settlement or one of the following transactions:       Execute Settlement       Continue Settlement       Store Settlement    The prerequisite for using these transactions is that you activated the subfunction  Enhancements for Service Charge Settlement.  For more information, see Customizing for Flexible Real Estate Management (RE-FX) under Basic Settings  Activate Subfunction.   If you do not activate this subfunction, then only the menu option  Execute Settlement is active on the SAP Easy Access screen. If you choose one of the other three transactions from the menu, the system issues the error message  Subfunction SC01 (SCS Enhancements) not active. In that case, proceed as described below in the section  Executing Service Charge Settlement (Subfunction Not Active).  
Key features:   Executing Service Charge Settlement (Subfunction Active) Note  You activated the subfunction  SCS Enhancements in Customizing for Flexible Real Estate Management.  For executing service charge settlement (SCS), the following transactions are available on the SAP Easy Access screen under Flexible Real Estate Management  Service Charge Settlement  Settlement :     Execute Settlement   You use this function to create a new service charge settlement. Settlement requires several steps. You can save the data after each of these steps.    Continue Settlement   If you already started a service charge settlement, you can continue it after the last step that was performed.This is recommended for large settlements where you may want to check each step before continuing with the next. If a step has errors, you have to correct them and repeat the step.      Store Settlement   If you have created a settlement in the Simulation (with Subsequent Actual Settlement) mode, you can convert your simulated settlement into an actual settlement. When you store the settlement, you reverse all steps that have the status  No Errors/Simulation Mode and execute these steps again.   Once you have stored a service charge settlement, the system releases the settlement for posting.      Post Settlement   You can call a service charge settlement that has been stored and then post it.      Reverse Settlement   You can either reverse a whole settlement or the separate steps. Note that the system also reverses the dependent steps of each step you reverse.      Reports for Settlement   You can choose the report you want to execute for a given settlement from a list of reports.      Calculate Adjustment   You can adjust the contract conditions based on the settlement result.   The service charge settlement screen is divided into two areas. In the upper part of the screen, you enter a title to identify your service charge settlement. You also enter the settlement method and the settlement type.  The settlement method you choose determines whether you perform an actual settlement, a simulation with subsequent actual settlement, or only a simulation. The settlement method also determines whether changes can be made to settlement units, assigned rental objects, or contracts. The following settlement methods are available:   Simulation only (without subsequent actual settlement  )   We recommend using this method only for simulating small settlements. You can execute all settlement steps except posting.   Simulation (with subsequent actual settlement)  You can first simulate and save the settlement, and then call it up at a later date and post it.   Actual settlement  You can perform the settlement in steps or as a whole. You can simulate the posting of the actual settlement before you really post it.   You can choose one of these settlement types:   Internal service charge settlement  The settlement is performed and posted without an external settlement company. Data exchange settlement unitscan also participate in this settlement if the indicator for internal settlement is set for them.    External service charge settlement  The settlement is performed with an external settlement company.   Service charge settlement (internal and external)  The complete service charge settlement is performed.   Only settle master settlement units  For more information, see Master Settlement Unit .
