What is Fund base Accrual and Event Base Accrual ?

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

I want your view on the topic which I could get any directly in SCN,

1) What is fund base accrual ? ( SAP CRM TPM Integrated)

2) What is the Event Base accrual ?

3) What is the factor which firms consider before deciding which type of accrual to go for.

Any pointer or input on this would be really appreciated .

Regards,

Hi Raj,

please refer to the onine help:

Marketing Funds Management - Campaign Management - SAP Library

• fund based accruals: for fund based accruals the fund usages are created for a fund - the reference object for the accrual calculation is the fund itself
• reference based accruals: for reference based accruals the fund usage is created for the trade promotion - the reference object for the accrual run is the marketing project that uses the fund but not the fund itself

The setting needs to be done in the accrual method customizing in the CRM system using the following IMG path;

SAP Customizing Implementation Guide

Customer Relationship Management

Funds Management

Accruals

Define Accrual Methods

You will find some additional information using the F1 help of the 'fund based accruals' field

If you want to perform an accrual calculation using the fund usage for this
fund once it is released, select this checkbox. The accrual profiles that use
the associated accrual calculation methods with this checkbox selected are then
available at the fund type level to identify how the fund amount will be
accrued.

If you want to accrue amounts using a fund usage from another object (for
example, trade promotion management or market development funds), do not select
this checkbox.

I hope this information helps.

best regards,

Johannes
