Flexible RE- This component fulfills the requirements of real estate management by providing a comprehensive view of all business transactions related to it.

1.      Management of real estate-The dual view of master data (architectural view and usage view) lets you easily create and manage all types of real estate objects (business entity, land, building, rental unit, rental space, rental room). 

2.      Contract management-The real estate contract lets you manage all contracts related to your real estate portfolio: 

o        Real estate contracts of the lease-in category (such as, commercial, internal, residential)

o        Real estate contracts of the lease-out category (such as, commercial, internal, residential)

o        General customer contracts (such as, service contracts with the tenant)

o        General vendor contracts (such as, maintenance contracts with a service provider)

o        G/L account contracts (such as, for posting reserves for service charges)

o        Security deposit agreements 

3.      You can assign any number of rental objects from different business entities, buildings or company codes to any one contract. 

4.      When defining conditions and other contract terms, you can group the assigned objects together into object groups. 

5.      Space management-Space and room management takes account of unusual architectural structures, usage considerations, as well as technical amenities and features. You can define spaces flexibly and rent them (extracting them from a larger available space). In addition, data exchange with external graphic systems allows you to visually represent your real estate objects. 

6.      Lease-in-The credit-side view of the lease-in process lets you control cash flows to the landlord and posting of expenses. 

7.      Control of business processes relevant to real estate 

8.      The following important processes in the management of real estate are integrated in the component:

o        Asset management postings and reports

o        Real estate controlling (cost planning/inter company activity assignment/cost settlement/profit center accounting)

o        Planning and controlling of new building developments, maintenance and modernization projects

o        Purchase order processing and commitments management for the operation and maintenance of real estate RE

RE - This component maps the requirements of Real Estate Management in a general overview of the relevant business transactions:

1.      Management of real estate

3.      Lease out Ongoing processes from creating the lease-out to the rent adjustment, rental accounting, rental settlement through to contract notice and the final rental unit inspection.       Third-party management Supporting third-party management of real estate through to the settlement of fees or the costs and owner revenues.

4.      Lease in Credit view of the rental process for controlling the cash flows to the landlord and incoming expenses.

5.      Control of business processes relevant to real estate Integration of important processes in the management of real estate:

o        Assets management postings and evaluations

o        Real estate controlling (cost planning/inter-company activity assignment/cost settlement/profit center invoicing)

o        Planning and controlling new developments, maintenance tasks, modernization tasks

HI VVR,

Thanks for your reply.

What you replied i already have that data.

What are the benefits we are getting if we implement Flexible real estate instead of Classic RE?

Please explain.

Thanks

Hi Sasikanth,

The major drawback for classic RE in India is i think there is no more support from SAP in respect of India localization.

It depends on your business requirement, like if you have more sales and less leasing then better to go for classic RE bcz it is compatible with IS-RE (component of ECO).

Hi Sasi,

Points which are covered under Flexible RE are the additional benefits compare to the Classical RE. Best example for the difference in the config level is the account determination where you have given very flexibility when it compare to Classical RE. In Classical RE you have to create entry for each combination but in Flexible RE it has been made easy with assignment option instead of creating.

Hi Sasikanth,

Both REFX and classical real estate are described in detail in SAP Note 443311. You can have either Classic or REFX activated in a client at the same time in the system. Classic comes by default. If you want to activate Flexible Real Estate Management, refer to Note 460524.

Thanks,

Neel
