Balance Forward Bills and Aging

Does anyone know if there is a way to stop AR from aging a transaction that has not yet been billed when using Balance Forward Billing?
Scenario
Customer purchases something on Nov 20. Order immediately flows from OM to AR, invoice transaction is created in AR, and revenue is recognized immediately. However, this customer is on a monthly billing cycle and will therefore not be billed using Balance Forward Billing until December 5th. The due date is bill date plus 15 days; therefore due date is Dec 20.
As far as I know, Oracle will age this invoice transaction as of Nov 20. It will of course show up in the "Current" bucket on the aging report until the due date (Dec 20), however it really shouldn't be aged at all considering the customer hasn't been billed.
Am I missing something here? Anyone know a way around this?
Thanks.

Hi Carl,
Thanks for your reply. Actually the thread you refering was almost similiar to my problem. In fact, mine problem was not able to bring down the Balance Forward amount in the grouping level.
Let me give you some example. I have 5 fields in my report which are:
Date - Field from database
User - Filed From database
Balance Forward (BF) - Calculation in formula (Previous date CF display as next date BF)
Current Amount (CA)- Field from database
Carry Forward (CF) - Calculation in formula (BF+CA=CF)
When drag out those fields from database into the CR without perform any group, it will shows something as below in the details section.
Date User BF CA CF
1/1   A      0  50  50
1/1   B      0  100  100
2/1   A      50  50 100
2/1   B      100  50 150
When i perform a group on date, it should shows in the design layout as below:
Date BF CA CF
1/1   0  150 150
2/1   150 100 250
On date 1/1, my BF will be 0 for the first day and CF will be 150 with the formula calculation as SUM(BF+CF). For date 2/1, i will required to carry down this 150 (previous date 1/1 CF) down to the date 2/1 BF and following by the next date 3/1.
I try to use the previous(group.fields) in the formula, but it will shows me "No any previous or next value to be retrieve". In fact, i could use the previous(table.fields) function and place on the details section.
Appreciated you could advise how to retrieve my SUM(CF) value and display on the next grouping date section in Crystal Report.
Thanks.

    Hi
    If you give correct db connection properties in db adaptor's wsdl , it will work. If jndi properties were not available in db adaptor's wsdl file, then bpel server will pick jndi properties from oc4j-ra.xml.
    Give system name instead of IP address of database server in mcf.ConnectionString property. This will work.

  • Balance forward billing- Printing separate invoices.

    Hi all,
    Ii am working on Balance Forward Billing in R12. Most of us know that BFB is used to consolidate several bills into a single bill for customers. My question is:
    When a Balance Forward BIlling is enabled at customer level, is it possible to print the invoices separately before the balance forward bill is generated ??
    If its possible to print the invoices separately, is it possible to stop from doing that ??
    Thanks in advance.
    Cheers.

    Hello,
    Has any one tried to get the xml file for this concurrent program?
    This is the only program that has beginning balance in it's out put. I tried Statements and Invoice Print program but either of them do not spit the beginning balance unless you customize it. If any one has worked with this, could you please share the template and the process to get the xml file from this program?

    Your question was "... but the font on the footer is much larger than that of the template", yes?
    I only can repeat, look at the difference of:
    1. index.html (Font-size > medium) >
    2. Calendar.html (Font-size > no entry):
    > "... font on the footer is much larger than that of the template",

  • Forward Billing if enabled iStore Customer UI not working

    Hi,
    For customer account level forward billing is enabled. Then when accessed customer UI not able to access. Page source code shows that forward billing is enabled.
    But if we want to use forward billing along with iStore what setup to do. And why forward billing not allowed for istore.??
    Ashish

    Hello Ashish,
    The details in the Doc ID 1925047.1 are for the Customer UI.  The option for Balance Forward Billing is referenced if this is enabled in the profile class setup in Receivables.   The iStore user needs to be setup in Receivables with a person account.  The example in the note is for Guest user, but the same applies for any iStore user.
    I hope this clarifies.

  • Diff b/w Intercompany Billing and TPO.

    Hi SAP  gurus,
    What is the diff b/w Inter company Billing and Third Party Order

    Dear Sabina
    Inter Company Billing
    You can set up your system in such a way that one purchasing organization procures material for a plant from a vendor (plant) that belongs to another company code within the same client (corporate group). This is an instance of an inter-company-code stock transfer with an SD delivery and a billing document
    Third Party Billing
    In third-party processing, you place a purchase order with a vendor to deliver goods or perform a service for a third party (for example, for a customer).
    This means that your company does not deliver the material. You forward the order to an external vendor instead, who then sends the material directly to the customer and invoices you.
    Third-party processing is carried out in the components SD (Sales and Distribution) and MM (Materials Management). By creating a third-party item in a sales order, purchase requisition, or purchase order, you can request that the vendor sends the goods directly to your customer. A document can consist of one or more third-party items.
    Thanks

  • Outrageous bill and excessing usage

    Are we signed up to play the role of "the rich and ignorant?"  Evidentlywe are, bc I have been getting outrageous bills and claims that I am using 20 g each month all of a sudden and there is no way.  Before the 4g (4th generation) service, my family had no problems doing what we wanted through our tablets or phones.  Now, we have to "starve" our enjoyment of the digital age and education time due to being charged these fees.  We see no difference that would validate Verizon's outrageous bill.  The service is no faster than it was and it actually drags like it s r struggles to load our pages.  So Verizon's answer is always to check to see if this is running in the background, etc.  NO....WE CHECKED EVERYTHING ALREADY.  EVERYTHING IS TURNED OFF LIKE WE HAVE A BASIC PHONE AND ITS STILL HAPPENING.  Why should we have to spend countless hours doing what verizon should've done before they pushed these phones and service in our faces.  It's Verizon's job to give their customers the best Problem-free service.  Not ours.  We have jobs.  The Times we have to spend on our devices is supposed to be for our enjoyment or whatever else we may choose to do with it.  Not working for verizon and receiving A bill for it.
    Anyone care to fix this?  verizon perhaps.....

  • Carry Balance forward

    Hi All,
    We just started our new Fiscal year, and we are carrying the balances forward.  We ran F.07, and selected the new fiscal year and checked both Select Customer and Vendors.  Then when i went to check the Account balance for the AR account (121000), I see a value of only 34,441 as the Balance carry forward under *** Balance.  Now when i double click on that value it gives me line items.  In that drill down report I see the correct amount of 8,144,292.83.  The same problem happens on the Vendor side just different amounts.  Does anyone have any idea why this is happening?
    Thanks,
    Rashad

    Hi Rashad,
    Before we discuss the problem further, I would like to share the program logic by SAP:
    This program calculates the balance carried forward for customers and/or vendors.
    The balances of the previous year are carried forward to the new year. If the account has not yet been posted in the new year and no balance carried forward has been carried out for this account, the account is opened inthe new year with the 1st balance carried forward; otherwise, the balance carried forward of the account is stored in the new year if changes result.
    When posting into a previous year, the system carries forward the balance automatically. This is independent of whether the program has already run or not. "posting to a previous year" means that the posting date of the document has an earlier year than the entry date. This automatic carrying forward also occurs accumulatively over several years that means a posting in January 1993 with the posting date December 1991 changes the balance carried forward for 1992 and 1993.
    SAP recommends that the program is run at the beginning of the new fiscal year. If the program is already run at the end of the last fiscal year, postings which are posted after this to the last fiscal year, do not result in automatic adjustment of the balance carried forward because it is not a "posting to a previous year". In such a case, it is necessary t let the program run again after these postings to carry forward the postings entered later.
    The program can be started as often as desired.
    Nevertheless, you can post to the new year if the program has not yet run. When posting, the accounts, however, with a balance carried forward of greater than zero are opened. Postings in the previous year do increase this balance carried forward, but do not carry forward the total of the items already posted in the old year to the new year; the balance carried forward only has the items posted by the new year into the previous year, but not the items posted in the previous year itself.
    Please go through the same and let me know what problems you are facing.

  • Inter Company Billing and automatic booking to Vendor master.

    Hi,
    Wish you a Happy New year,,,,,,,
    We have done all the necessary configuration for generating Inter Company billing including the Cost booking to vendor Automatically.
    There are certain points where I need some help,
    1) During Idoc genration we are getting error related to Payment terms of Internal Customer.
    If the payment terms is immidiate then only an Idoc is getting generated,,,,,,,,, else it is throwing an error message " status 51", but according to our business requirements it may be for any days and this may also impact our aging analysis and cash flows.
    2) We have configured upto Third level of product hierarchy but while creating a contract if user maintains only upto first level, then release to account is not happening for inter company billing. Where as if user maintain upto third level there is no issue in the whole process of inter comapny billing.
    Kindly suggest us how to restrict user to maintain product hierarchy pto third level during the creation of contract.
    3) during the Inter company billing generation, if the internal customer is eligible for Tax exemption or tax booking, that is how to book the tax details to internal customer and also to vendor while booking the cost.Please let us know the logic for tax processign in Inter company billing and Idoc generation.
    Awaiting for a favourable reply and thanks in Advance.

    Hello,
    Did you assign the internal customer to the ordering sales organisation? If not, then create a customer in Delivering Sales org + DC+ Div + Plant and assign the same in the ordering sales organisation.
    You can maintian the same in SPRO --> Enterprise structure --> Defenition --> Sales organisation (Enter internal customer).
    Or
    SPRO--> Sales and  Distribution --> Billing ---> Intercompany billing --> Define internal customer

  • BILLING HISTORY REPORT AND BILLING AND RECEIPT HISTORY REPORT

    I ran both the billing history report and the billing and receipt history report. There are invoices on the one report but not the other. I then checked it to the age analysis report as well.
    There are three outstanding invoice on the age analysis report and on the billing and receipt history report, but not on the billing history report.
    Any idea why this is so?
    Kindly respond.

    Hi Archana,
    First, you will have to fetch all the Print documents corresponding to the Contract account from ERDK table and then fetch the data for the Print document,Billing document and the Contract from the table DBERDLB.
    Then get the Move-in and Move-out information from the table EVER and Bill start date and end date from the table ERCH.
    Once, you have all this information, then the consumption can be of 2 types : Daliy meter read and Monthly meter read (depends on the client's requirements).
    For daily consumption, you will have to consider the Profiles which can be found out with the help of the FM ISU_PROFILE_GET_EPROFVALDAY and then calculate the consumption accordingly.
    For monthly meter reads, you will have to find out the information from the Equipment or the meter installed.
    Kindly let me know in case you need any further calrifications on the same.
    Regards,

    No.  In accordance with the Customer Agreement, any funds on your prepaid account will not be refunded if you cancel.

    You may be able to take, or "port", your wireless phone number to another carrier.  If you port a number from us, we'll treat it as though you asked us to cancel your Service for that number.  After the porting is completed, you won't be able to use our service for that number, but you'll remain responsible for all fees and charges through the end of that billing cycle, just like any other cancellation. If you're a Prepaid customer, you won't be entitled to a refund of any balance on your account.
