SAP Treasury Interest Rate Instrument to manage Long Term Loan for a Project

[AbhinavMalik]

Hi,

We are using an Interest Rate Instrument to manage a long-term loan for our client, however require suggestions on how to manage the following requirements:

1. Loans must be tagged to a WBS Element which helps to identify the Project for which loan is being taken.

2. Periodic Interest postings from the SAP Treasury module using TBB1 must be recorded on the WBS Element till the time the Project is capitalized as an AUC.

3. Once the Project is complete and capitalized, Interest postings for the remaining period must be recorded on the Cost Center for the same loan. How it can be managed using the same Financial Transaction number wherein two Cost objects are used?

Hello Abhinav,

1. Not much aware on point 1 how Loan agreement can be linked to WBS - but you can use user defined field in WBS/project master & maintain loan number.

2. For point 2 subsitution can be used & WBS can be derived based on above linkage or Z table can be used.

3. If you use Z table for subtitution then once project is capitalized WBS can be removed & cost center can be maintained there.

Please also check below thread if you can bring WBS also as target field with enhancement.

Hi Sumesh,

Thank you for the response. 

However, I was thinking of making an enhancement in FTR_CREATE using  FTR_CUSTOMER_EXTENT based on Product type to have a custom field to input WBS Element along with a checkbox to utilize WBS Element in TBB1 for Interest postings utilizing method ACCIT_EXIT from BAdI TPM_ACCIF_TRAC.

Once the project is capitalized uncheck the check box and enter Cost Center in the derivation strategy. 

Thinking of this solution. Please suggest if there can be any problem in an end-to-end solution.
