In this IMG activity, you define flow categories and flow category profiles, and limit their use to certain sales organizations and distribution channels.

Flow Categories and Flow Category Profiles

A flow category is part of the financing conditions. It provides information on the payment conditions (for example, installment payment, annuity payment). You can define your own flow categories to meet your specific needs, and assign financial mathematical functions to them.

You group flow categories together into flow category profiles. You then assign the flow category profile in the distribution channel-specific master data of the financing product.

Condition Functions

You make more detailed business specifications for the condition type in CRM Customizing using the condition functions.

Flow Categories and Condition Functions

The condition types for pricing a transaction are specified in the pricing procedure. During pricing, the system determines the amount to be financed, the interest and the residual value. In order to create a payment schedule, the system internally imports the data relevant for financial-mathematical calculations from the pricing procedure.

The system also exports the financial-mathematical results after the calculation back to the pricing procedure. The system determines the condition types using the condition function. In Customizing, you assign the target fields (fields that require data from the pricing procedure) to condition functions.

The system also uses this field assignment to make data available for creation of the billing plan.

You have to make sure that each condition function is used only once in Customizing for pricing procedures. Otherwise the system cannot uniquely determine the condition types.

SAP supplies assignments of target fields and condition functions for various flow categories.

Changing the field assignments supplied by SAP is usually not necessary. You should only enter field assignments for flow categories that you have created yourself.

1. Specify which flow categories can be used for determining financing conditions. To this end, define flow categories by specifying a technical key and a description. Then assign a financial-mathematical function (FIMA flow category, such as installment payment) to the flow category. Choose a flow category and assign the target field and condition function.
2. Define a flow category profile by specifying a technical key and a description. Assign flow categories to the flow category profile, and specify one of them as the standard value. Then when this flow category profile is used, the system always proposes this flow category first.
3. For each sales organization and distribution channel pair, specify which flow category profiles are available. In this way, you can limit the number of flow category profiles allowed, for example, for certain countries.
4. You can also make additional financial-mathematical specifications for the flow categories. For example, you could specify that no rate/x is calculated for a certain flow category.
