1 Financial Mathematics in Leasing

In leasing, you use financial mathematics (FIMA) to transfer a one-time amount financed to a cash flow. You then receive a payment schedule in which the
outgoing payments precede the incoming payments. In the case of amounts that are not a financing (such as fees), you use financial mathematics to create
fee payment schedules.
You use the following functions in the lease to map financings to customer financing items of the category BUS2000301:
Date management: Contains the relevant general data for a financing, such as the start and end date of the financing, and the term
Payment structure and payment structure variant: Contains the financing template with the relevant entries
Calculation procedure
Financing view repository
Pricing document: Contains all the financing-relevant conditions
You generate a payment schedule in the following sequence:
1. In the product master data, you define at least one financing product that is used as the financing template. In doing so, you differentiate between onetime and periodic flows.
2. In the lease quotation or lease (SAP CRM), you configure the individual financing template and generate a payment structure. To do this, the system
first imports data from the financing product (payment structure template) and adds to this the data from FIMA Customizing and the appointment data
repository as well as the condition values (IPC conditions). You then make any further changes manually.
3. The system uses the calculation algorithm to create the cash flow and the payment schedule aggregated from it. This is controlled flexibly by the
settings for the financing product and in FIMA Customizing.
4. The system generates billing request items from the cash flow.

1.1 Payment Structure and Payment Structure Variants

You use the payment structure to define the financial mathematics conditions (such as type and number of periods, frequency, when due in period,
installments to be paid, interest to be paid, as well as validity period) according to which payments are made in a leasing deal. You can configure the payment
structure to meet the specific requirements of the lessee.
SAP Leasing provides a generic concept for the payment structure: You can define as many payment structure variants as you want in Customizing and then
assign these in the master data of the financing product.
To enable you to preconfigure different variants for a specific process (new business, extension, termination), you can assign different variants to a pricing
process in the product; this means you can make different variants available for specific processes. When you create a financing or service product in the
master data, you enter the specific details for the variant in the payment structure.
You can use the following functions within the payment structure:
Payment structures with annuities
Installment repayment structures
Interest rate trends
Deferral of repayments and interest in the payment structure
Broken periods with settings for pro-rated calculations
Different payment frequencies and due dates for interest payments and repayments
Up to three concurrent fees in the payment structure
Special functions, such as working day shift

Processes
You use this function to adjust a payment structure when you execute a change process. You can execute change processes with and without payment
structure variants.

Features
You can:
Execute a change process with a payment structure variant
When you execute a change process, you enter a payment structure variant. The system discards the current payment structure and searches the
product master data of the financing product for a new payment structure that belongs to the selected variant. Consequently, the date on which you
executed the change becomes the end date of the validity period of the present payment structure. You can use this method for a renewal, for example.
The system behaves in the same way when you change a product.
Execute a change process without a payment structure variant for:
Financing processes
You use two date rules to limit the duration of the payment structure. The system deletes all entries in the payment structure before the
adjustment date and after the contract end date. The date rules define the new valid from and valid to dates of the new payment structure.
Terminating processes
The system discards the entire payment structure. You can enter one-time flows in Customizing for all processes (such as amount financed, fee).
The system then automatically adds these to the payment structure.
For change processes, you need to calculate a remaining balance or the amount to be cleared (for fees) that must be transferred to the subsequent process.
Financial mathematics provides a function for this. This function calculates the remaining balance that is due for the current cash flow . This provides the
basis for determining the renewal conditions in the Internet Pricing and Configurator (IPC) tool for the subsequent process. Alternatively, you can implement
your own method for calculating the remaining balance, for example, by discounting outstanding payments. The calculation for the new business process is
completely decoupled. The newly calculated cash flow relates to the payment structure of the new item only and is calculated after you execute a change
process as in new business.

Note
When you execute a business process, the new process manages the data in the validity period of this process. You can get an overview of the payment
schedule's history by navigating to those contract items that manage the previous business processes.

1.1.2 Flow Categories

Use
Within a financing, a differentiation is made between recurring and one-time flows (payment structure). The combination of one-time and recurring flows defines
the payment structure of a financing. You define this payment structure in the financing template of the financing product.
A flow is characterized by a flow category.
Flow categories control the process flows within the financial mathematics algorithms. The SAP system distinguishes between internal and user-defined flow
categories:
Internal flow categories classify a value series for financial mathematics purposes.
The internal financial mathematics flow categories provided by SAP define the calculation rules for generating the payment schedule. These rules
determine how financial mathematics conditions and flows are processed.
The internal flow categories include Amount Financed , Annuity , Interest, and Residual Value . A user-defined flow category defines the values for an
internal flow category.
You assign the user-defined flow category to an internal flow category to define the financial mathematics significance of the flow category.
When you define the flow category, you establish the link between the payment structure and the CRM condition technique, as you can assign condition
functions to flow categories for specific financing views. You can import a currency amount and a percentage for a flow category from the pricing document for
the contract item to the payment structure.

1.2 Cash Flow

1.2 Cash Flow

The cash flow is calculated using financial mathematics and contains all the flows that are relevant for paying the end customer. Furthermore, the cash flow
contains all the calculation bases, such as interest calculation capital and days, needed to understand the results from a mathematical point of view. Financial
mathematic aspects, such as payment installment, interest, repayment, and fees, are processed in separate rows in the cash flow. Information from the
payment structure variant, the customer financing view, and the calculation procedure is used to calculate the cash flow. The cash flow forms the basis for
creating the customer payment schedule. The customer payment schedule is an aggregated view of the cash flow. Moreover, it is the basis for calculating
additional payment schedules that you want to manage for other financing views. The cash flow is saved in the database and can be consulted for new
calculations, such as an interest rate adjustment, or when a balance is calculated. In a lease, the cash flow is displayed at item level. The payment structure
variant prescribes the duration of the cash flow.

Prerequisites
You have made setting in the following Customizing activities:
Customer Relationship Management

Financial Mathematics Settings

Variants and Additional Flows

Financing Views
Configure FIMA Calculation Procedure

1.3 Financing Views

You use this function to define the different views of a leasing transaction. Financing views can manage the payment schedules that you want to settle for a
business partner (such as a leasing customer, dealer, or third party). You can also use financing views to manage analytical information, such as the
comparison account in the effective interest rate calculation.
A financing view is a special view of an underlying cash flow. In the leasing scenario, you generally use valuation bases that are not known to the lessee. For
example, this can be a hidden discount that a leasing company receives from the manufacturer, which means the actual financing requirement is lower than
the customer assumes.
If third parties are involved, you can define views for subsidies and participations. You can use these views to manage different subsidies and participations,
or a combination of subsidies and participations, for each lease. If you want to use more than one subsidy or participation, you must define a financing view for
each subsidy and participation. You define the required financing views in Customizing. For example:
Financing View for Customer
Subsidy 1
Subsidy 2
Participation 1
Participation 2
Effective Interest
The parameters defined in a financing view are included in the financial mathematics calculation of the payment schedule. The system calculates the relevant
payment schedules in the contract based on the financing views you have assigned in the master data of the financing product. To this end, you need to
configure the calculation procedure accordingly.

Prerequisites
To be able to use different financing views, you must have defined these in Customizing for Customer Relationship Management under
Services
Leasing Financial Mathematics Settings
Financing Views .

Financial

Note
You must define at least the customer financing view so that the system can calculate the customer cash flow or payment schedule in a contract.
If you want to use subsidies and participations, you must also configure the calculation procedure and make the settings for processing third-party
business relationships.

Activities
In the master data of the financing product, you assign the financing views that you require for a product. Here you also assign the interest calculation
methods and corresponding parameters to the views. You can activate the financing views manually or using the Application Programming Interface (API).

Note
You must assign and activate at least the customer financing view so that the system can calculate a payment schedule in a contract.

The lessor provides financing at a base rate of 10 % p.a. The manufacturer grants an interest subsidy of 2 % p.a. for the entire period (subsidy view). The
dealer receives an interest participation of 1% p.a. for brokering the contract (participation view).
The installment to be paid by the lessee is based on an interest rate of 9 % p.a. (customer view).

1.4 Calculation Procedure

The calculation procedure is central to financial mathematics calculation. You use this procedure to define the sequence in which calculations are performed
across different financing views and using different calculation types (such as calculation of the lease installment payment or of the interest rate). You can
define any number of calculation procedures and calculation sequences in Customizing.
Standard Customizing contains the following calculation procedures:
FM_001 - Calculate Payment Amount
FM_002 - Calculate Nominal Interest
FM_003 - Calculate Amount Financed
FM_009 - Calculate Cash Flow
Data is not calculated in advance in this procedure according to a parameter but the system directly generates the cash flow according to the
specifications of the payment structure.
Configuration of the calculation procedure includes the definition of the calculation sequence and of the implementations to be used for each step (Business
Add-In BADI_CRM_FIMA_CALC). You also configure the sequence in which results are updated for the individual financing views.

Prerequisites
You have performed all the activities in Customizing for SAP Customer Relationship Management (SAP CRM) under
Financial Services
Leasing Financial Mathematics Settings
Configure FIMA Calculation Procedure .

Customer Relationship Management

Activities
In the master data of the financing product, you select the required calculation procedure and assign it to a pricing process and, if necessary, to a sub-pricing
process. You can assign any number of calculation procedures for each pricing process in the master data of the product. In doing so, you must select one
calculation procedure as Default . The system automatically suggests this procedure in the quotation. However, you can select a different calculation
procedure manually.

Note
You must have defined a calculation procedure for the New Lease (NEWL) business transaction. This calculation procedure is copied to all follow-on
processes, unless you assign a different calculation procedure to the follow-on process in the product master data.

1.4.1 Effective Interest Rate Calculation

PUBLIC
2014 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved.

Page 6 of 14

Use
The effective interest rate is calculated in a special financing view in which the system stores a payment schedule, known as the comparison account, as the
basis for the calculation. You assign the legally stipulated methods used to calculate the effective interest rate in the master data of the financing product
under Distribution Chains . Leasing supports the current methods, such as AIBD/ISMA.
You can specify whether the financial mathematics flows are not relevant for the effective interest rate. You do this in the Customizing activity for excluding
flows from a financing view. If you want to make extensive changes to the effective interest payment schedule for a specific customer, you can make these
changes in a Business Add-In (BAdI); for example, you can use a BAdI to calculate an effective interest rate for a customer.
We provide default implementations for creating the Effective Interest Rate financing view and for calculating the effective interest rate for the lessor. The
system copies the payment schedule created by financial mathematics to the customer view. It also copies the payment schedule for all other financing views
(such as the subsidy view). The calculation algorithm determines the lessor's return on investment for this payment schedule.

Prerequisites
You have made the following settings in Customizing for Customer Relationship Management under
Mathematics Settings:

Leasing

Financial

BAdI: Calculation.

Note
You do not execute the calculations you need for the accrual of payments in lease accounting in the CRM system but in the lease accounting
system that recalculates on request the effective interest rates required for the accrual.

1.5 Calculation of Rate per Thousand

Use
The rate per thousand adjusts the calculated installment of a payment step to fit the amount financed. The rate per thousand is calculated as follows:
Rate per thousand = (installment amount / amount financed) * 1000
The rate per thousand then specifies how many currency units a customer has to pay for each thousand currency units of the amount financed.

1.6 Interim Periods

Use
Interim periods are broken periods that, unlike regular periods, have a reduced or extended duration. Interim periods are common at the beginning of a leasing
transaction to bridge the period between the delivery of a leased object and the next whole accounting period. All the calculation attributes that you can assign
to a regular period can also be assigned to an interim period, and vice versa.
You can define interim periods in the payment structure at any time during the term of a contract.
To map the following interim periods, you use the general flow categories for annuities, repayments, interest or fees, combined with the attributes from the
payment structure (such as Pro Rata Calculation ):
Interest and repayment
Interest payment for this period
Zero payment, interest carried forward to subsequent periods
Fee
Calculation of the installment for the interim period depends on the selected flow category and on the implementation of the related calculation procedure. You
enter the flow category in the financing template for the interim period.

Example
Monthly fee of USD 100; in arrears at the end of the month, to be calculated for 15 days:

1.7 Interest Calculation Methods and Types

PUBLIC
2014 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved.

Page 7 of 14

Use
You can use the following types of interest calculation in leasing:
Linear interest calculation
The interest amount is calculated according to the following formula:
Amount = calculation base amount * percentage / 100 * interest calculation method

Interest calculated linearly is not capitalized in leasing.

Exponential interest calculation
The interest amount is calculated according to the following formula:
Amount = calculation base amount * (q ** (interest calculation method) - 1)

Interest calculated linearly is not capitalized in leasing. As a result, planned but unpaid interest is transferred to subsequent periods in sums so that it can be
deducted successively from the next payment installments (principle of simple daily interest ).
You can also use various interest calculation methods to calculate interest using different calculation bases.
The calculation methods are always based on the specific number of days in the calculation period in relation to the defined number of days for the calendar
year that is, according to the quotient DAYS/DAY_BASE.
You can use the following interest calculation methods in leasing:
360E/360
The system always assumes 30 days per month when calculating the interest between two dates; a year with 360 days is assumed.
act/360
The system uses the actual number of calendar days to calculate the interest between two dates; a year with 360 days is assumed.
act/365
The system uses the actual number of calendar days to calculate the interest between two dates; a year with 365 days is assumed.
act/actY
The system uses the actual number of calendar days to calculate the interest between two dates; the actual number of days in the calendar year is assumed.
365/365
The system uses the actual number of calendar days to calculate the interest between two dates; the extra day in a leap year (February 29) is not included in
the calculation period. A year with 365 days is assumed.
Act/ActE
The system uses the actual number of calendar days to calculate the interest between two dates; a calendar year with 366 days is assumed if the extra day in
a leap year (February 29) is included in the calculation period, otherwise a calendar year with 365 days is assumed.

You should not use the following calculation methods in leasing:

ActW/252
365.25/360
365/360

Activities
You assign the interest calculation method in the master data in the financing product for each financing view. You also assign the interest calculation type
(linear or exponential) to the financing view.

For each condition in the payment structure it is possible to use a different interest calculation method to that which you want to use for the financing as a
whole.
The specified calculation type (exponential or linear) applies to the entire financing view. If you want to perform linear calculations, you can make an exception
only depending on the flow category and specifically for zero payments with interest capitalizations.

1.8 Floating Rate Adjustment

PUBLIC
2014 SAP SE or an SAP affiliate company. All rights reserved.

Page 8 of 14

If the nominal interest rate of a lease is linked to a particular reference interest rate, such as LIBOR or EURIBOR, you can use this function to flexibly adjust
the nominal interest rate to the changes to the reference interest rate.
If the installments to be paid are to be adjusted to the interest rate fluctuations, you can flexibly link the nominal payable rate to a reference rate. The nominal
interest rate is adjusted on the date on which the reference interest rate is changed. You can use the prior days to enter a date of interest rate determination
that is different to the interest rate adjustment date.
In the case of payment structures with annuities, the periods in the past are fixed. This means that the payment, interest, and repayment remain the same.
The system recalculates the payments for future settlement periods accordingly. Here you can select the period from which the payments are recalculated.
The payments are fixed for the periods between the fixed and recalculated periods; only the interest/repayment split is changed.
You can change the reference interest rate on any date in a settlement period, and therefore several times in a settlement period. The various nominal interest
rates that can occur in a settlement period as a result are settled to the day. You can adjust documents ad hoc (to any date) or periodically (to period
boundaries).
You do not have to individually process the contracts that need to be adjusted; instead you can execute mass document processing. Before the start of
processing, you can select whether evaluation data about the interest rate adjustment run is saved to the database, and is then available for reporting.

Prerequisites
You have defined and entered the reference interest rates you require and assigned these to the corresponding reference interest profile in Customizing
for SAP Customer Relationship Management (SAP CRM). You have to make additional settings in the reference interest profile. These include whether
the profile is a periodic or ad hoc adjustment profile and the appointment types in which the adjustment dates are stored.
Customer Relationship Management Financial Services
Leasing Financial Mathematics Settings
Edit Reference Interest Rate .
In the financing product you must define the reference interest profile to which the adjustment is linked. In the financing views set you assign the
reference interest profile to the base financing view. The system checks these conditions before adjustment. It selects only documents with this
reference interest profile.

Execute Floating Rate Adjustment (CRM_FS_FRA). On the selection screen, you can restrict the selection by entering various criteria.
You can use the Business Add-Ins (BAdIs) for the enhancement spot CRM_FS_FRA_TOOLS to influence the floating rate adjustment as follows:
Business Add-In

Description

BADI_CRM_FS_FRA_CHECKS

Checks the specific conditions that must be met before a document can be
adjusted. If the document does not meet these conditions, the interest rate is not
adjusted. However, a next adjustment date is entered so that the document can
be adjusted the next time.

BADI_CRM_FS_FRA_INT_ADJDATE

Determines the next adjustment date. In the standard system, the reference
interest profile and the period boundaries determine the next adjustment date.

BADI_CRM_FS_FRA_PAYM_ADJDATE

Determines the payment adjustment date (the date from which the payment is
recalculated). In the standard system, the payment adjustment date is the next
period boundary after the interest rate adjustment date.

BADI_CRM_FS_FRA_INDEX

Fills the customer-specific fields of the database table CRMD_FS_FRA. You can
also decide whether individual items in a document are saved in the database
table.

During adjustment, the system differentiates between three types of installments:

Fixed installment: Installments that are in the past
Constant installment: Installment with new interest/repayment portion
Recalculated installment: Periods that are after the adjustment are recalculated in the standard system
You can identify a floating rate adjustment in the adjusted document by the following criteria:
The conditions of the floating rate adjustment have been updated.

Example
Condition 41M9: The current reference interest rate is filled from the reference interest rate table.
The payment structure has been adjusted.

Example
The schedule line tables, the payment and/or interest details, are filled.
The payment schedule has been adjusted, such as if an installment has been changed.
The cash flow has been adjusted. If an adjustment is performed within a period, the system displays two interest rate values and one repayment
result for this settlement period. This indicates the split between the old and the new interest rate.
The interest rate adjustment dates (last adjustment date and, if applicable, next adjustment date) have been updated.
For an example of a floating rate adjustment, see Floating Rate Adjustment: Example.

Note
If you want to adjust a document to a specific date, do not set this indicator.
You can make the following entries on the selection screen:
Adjustment Date : In the case of an ad hoc adjustment, the system adjusts all the selected documents to the specified date.
In the case of documents that are adjusted periodically, the system selects all documents whose next adjustment date lies before the entered date.
Simulation/Test Run : Here you indicate whether the adjustments to the document are to be saved to the database, or whether this is a test run. The
storage of log and results evaluations is independent of this indicator.
Dialog Processing : If you set this indicator, the system executes adjustment in dialog mode; if not, it executes adjustment in the background. You
need to set this indicator for debugging, for example.
Adjustment Run ID : Each mass run requires a unique ID number, which you must define. This ID is used later to read the results evaluation from the
database or call the Postprocessing Office (PPO ). We recommend you store the selection data as a variant.
Maximum Package Size for Processing : During mass processing, the system groups the documents to be adjusted into packages. The package size
indicates how many documents are to be contained in a package.
Reduced Pricing
Use Procedure : Specifies whether a reduced pricing procedure is to be used.
Pricing Procedure : Restricts the pricing for the financing item and the billing request item (BRI) in financial mathematics.

Note
You must use the two fields for reduced pricing together.
Evaluation of Results : You can decide whether the results are evaluated. The system displays only those documents that were adjusted successfully.
Documents that contain errors are not displayed.
Conditions to Be Evaluated : The system saves the condition information for an evaluation to the database (if you have set the Evaluate Results
indicator).
In addition to these fields, you can display and fill all fields in the table CRMD_FS_FRA. When the system executes floating rate adjustment, it adjusts all the
selected documents that meet the prerequisites. The system also adjusts the pricing for all subsequent documents and recalculates the payment schedule.

Containing Errors
You can use this function to display all the documents that the system could not process during an interest rate adjustment run because they contain errors.
You can then correct these errors manually. To do this, you use the functions of the Postprocessing Office (PPO) .

Features
Postprocessing Office (PPO):
All errors that occur during an interest rate adjustment run are logged in the PPO (transaction: /N/SAPPO/PPO2) with the adjustment run ID and are
saved under the component CRM-IFS. The results of simulation runs are saved under the business process FRA_SIM and the results of adjustment
runs are saved under the business process FRA. The business process ID is the ID that you assigned to the interest rate adjustment run.
Postprocessing Desktop: initial screen
Here you enter the required selection criteria and trigger the evaluation run.
Postprocessing Desktop: overview screen
The overview screen displays all the leasing documents that match your selection criteria. A traffic light icon indicates the status of each error. The
following statuses are possible:
Red: The error is new or has not yet been processed.
Yellow: The error is being processed. The user currently processing the error is displayed in the Processor column.
Green: Completed. The processor has fixed the error and set this status; you can now repeat the adjustment run manually.

Note
You have to set the status to Completed because otherwise the system reselects and redisplays the affected items.
Detailed information about the individual entry
You can double-click an entry to display more detailed information. You can then:
Change the status of the entry.
Display the relevant lease by choosing the processing method DISPLAY. (The contract is then displayed on the CRM WebClient UI.)
You can also view the following information:
The date on which the entry was created in the PPO.
All relevant, logged messages.

More Information
For more information about the Postprocessing Office , see Postprocessing Office.
