Message text: &4 Derivation rules for preliminary costing must be converted
As of release EA-FINSERV 200, preliminary costing for loans no longer
accesses derivation rules that have been defined specifically for
preliminary costing. The same derivation rules are now used both for
generating the PA part of the financial object and for preliminary
costing. You define the derivation rules for the PA part of the finan
cial object in Customizing (see <DS:SIMG.SIMG_CFJB01JBDDRLOAN>Maintain
Derivation Strategy</>).
You can no longer define derivation rules to be used exclusively for
preliminary costing.
The system outputs an error message when you call preliminary costing if
derivation rules that are linked to preliminary costing only are found
in the system after upgrade.
Run report RJBT_CUST_FOI_LOAN_DERI. This report converts derivation
rules defined exclusively for preliminary costing into derivation rules
for the Profitability Analysis (PA) part of the financial object. The
system inserts the derivation rules to be converted in front of the
derivation rules for the PA part of the financial object. The derivation
rules to be converted remain in the same order. Once you have run the
report, you can continue using preliminary costing.
Before running the report, check whether the conversion affects the
derivation result for financial objects and preliminary costing.
