CRMV_FIN_REFINT - Edit Reference Interest Rates

In this IMG activity, you define and edit reference interest rates. For each distribution chain, you enter specific condition functions to be used.
If your lease uses variable lease installment payments, these payments can change over the course of the lease term in accordance with the development of the market interest rates. The interest rates in the lease reflect a reference interest rate that is entered in the financing product. The SAP system adjusts the interest rate in each payment step to the reference interest rate. To make this adjustment, the system requires the change date, that is, the date on which the new interest rate should become effective in the lease. The interest rate can be adjusted on any date.

In this IMG activity, you can also enter the specific condition functions to be used. The system reads the assigned condition types and evaluates these in the adjustment run for the reference interest rate. The following condition functions are required:

• Nominal Interest Rate: This interest rate is adjusted to the change in the reference interest rate.

• Initial Spread: Indicates the difference between the nominal interest rate and reference interest rate on the pricing date.

Note for Entering Reference Interest Rates

The market data management functions available in the ERP system include a datafeed interface. You can use this function to automatically import a selection of current financial market data into the ERP system using the SAP Service Marketplace. For more information, see SAP Implementation Guide -> Financial Supply Chain Management -> Treasury and Risk Management -> Basic Functions-> Market Data Management-> Datafeed.

To make the interest rates available in the CRM system, you must create a Customizing object for Middleware data exchange. You can then transport the contents of the Define Reference Interest Rates and Enter Reference Interest Ratesactivities from the ERP system to the CRM system using a download. You can use the Customizing synchronizer to perform future downloads.

1. Define your reference interest rates in the SAP system by entering a key and a short text for each reference interest rate. The other fields, such as Financial Center, are for information purposes only.
2. Enter the interest rates for the reference interest rates you defined, along with the date on which this interest rate is effective.
3. Enter the settings for the reference interest rates.
4. Save your entries.
