Billing Request Simulation

Hello,
I want to report the net value of a Billing Request from a serviceorder before billing. Like the transaction DP90 serviceorder and simulate the sales document.
I have tested the Function BAPI_BILLINGDOC_SIMULATE but the output was a message similar as: the sales document was not relevant for billing.
Has anybody an idear how to get the simulated net value? Can I use the BAPI? If yes, what fields must I mapp to get the output?
Kind regards
Myriam Bail

Hi Bail,
I am not to sure if you can stimulate the creation of billing request.Because in DP90 as long as I know system runs VA01 in background and saves the document,generates and displays the sales document number.
In this scenario i think you need to create some Z transaction or as you said use BAPI for this requirement If you find the solution for this kindly update all of us.
Warm Regards,

DP96 does not show the billing request value in simulation or update mode

Hi SD experts,
Another RRB related question.
Unlike DP91 (individual BR) which you can run in simulate and see the amount to be billed, qty to be billed and net value before creating the billing request, this does not appear to be possible with DP96 (collective BR), even though the net result (after runing in update mode) is the same.
Have queried this with SAP who have said this is not supported.
Are there any BADIs or exits available which would allow these values to be shown in the ALV display when run in test mode? The retrieval would have to access saved data (from VPKHEAD) or dynamic data according to the option selected in the selection screen.
Thanks in advance for any advice or suggestions on how to do this.
Regards,
Guy HInton

Hi Guy
what you need to do is this. run DP96 and choose "save extract" in the options on the selection screen. In the detail lst you then get a message "Extract saved" for each processed contract item.
This will save the amounts to be billed in the cluster of tables VPKHEAD, VPKSDITEM, VPKDI and links to the dynamic item AD01DLI as well as contracts VBAK, VBAP and projects PRPS.
These tables happen to be used in DP91 to store extracts as well. You will get a popup for all those contracts asking you "Do you want to use saved data?" now.
What that ultimately does is that DP96 creates all the data holding cost & associated revenue.
All you need to do then is create a bespoke report or SAP Query (or whatever you want to use), join the named tables and present it to your user. This way I created a Revenue forecast report which shows all revenue for time worked/cost incurred which we should be invoicing in the current financial period, but haven't created the billing requests or invoices yet.
As said I just used SQ03/SQ02/SQ01 to create a simple infoset and query and it works a treat . Example of th join seen below. Note that you may have to alter joined table according to your needs potentially.

Restriction of sales order conversion to billing request for projects not r

Dear all,
We have SD integrated with Project systems. Each of the sales order is linked to the WBS element of the project which has to be billed. Sometimes a project which is not released is attached to the sales order and while billing it doesnu2019t get posted to accounts because that project/WBS element is not released. Is there a way to restrict conversion of sales order to billing request if the project is not released?
Looking forward for help.
Thanks and regards,

Define a new condition type and assign it to the pricining procedure
In the requirement routine have a new routine and put a logic so that it compares the subtotal field A of nett price
For e.g KOMP-NTPRC
The condition type should apply when KOMP-NTPRC < =the draft amount
You have to try this
I havent done it practically

Error while creating billing request thr tcode DP91

hi,
while creating a billing request through dp91 we are getting an error mesage : "Error during material determination for sales document item 40000067/000020". i have checked the material determination for the material, but there is no material determination maitained for the material, the material here is a service material, after creating a contract we are trying to create a billing request through DP91. this is where wer are getting the error message.

Hi,
It looks like the DIP Processor cannot determine a material.Go you your DIP Profile and check the Material Determination settings
Also run TCode ODP2 to check the consistency of your DIP Profile and also chk Material Origin field was not checked in the Costing tab of the material master.
Check above and revert back.

Billing request? or Resource Related billing?

Hi,
Please read the real life SD - FICO scenario given below and if you think you have the solution, kindly state your suggestion. Would be much appreciated.
===================================================
Engineering Services Orders (Inter-company)
Process Steps (As-is)
1.Purchase Order is received in Co. A via EDI, from Co. B
2.Sales Order (services) is automatically generated in Co. A. It has item 10 as hours and item 20 as travel expenses in $ amount
Sales accounting creates settlement rule and internal order number and advises the engineers who will provide the services
3.Later on, engineers report actual hours for services rendered, by using CATS system This merely reports data in SAP system but does not make an FI posting
They use the order number advised to them in step 2 to create an internal order
4 Actual travel expenses are added by Payroll - as a direct posting to FI
5. Periodic CATS batch job is carried out by relevant IT person, to settle costs to an internal order (not to sales order). These costs are labor hours and travel expenses
6. FICO personnel then do transaction K08G to settle internal order --> sales order
7. (Manual Step) Sales Accounting then runs report KVBI to view and select data related to service orders The data is downloaded to an Excel worksheet and handed over to SD-Billing.
8. (Manual step) The cost data in dollar figures is converted to hours by SD-Billing, dividing cost data with rate / hour given in the sales order condition record
9. SD-Billing creates invoice. Since it is order-related invoice, it has open quantities coming in from the order. These are now manually over-written / replaced with the actual data from step 7 & 8. An invoice is thus, generated for each order individually.
Process (To-be)
To create an interim document (billing request?) to replace manual steps 7 and 8. This interim document needs to capture actual cost data form the system and also show the remaining / open quantities from the sales order
QUESTION: what is the best route to go?
Configure a Billing Request document (by modifying a standard Credit Memo Request / Debit Memo Request) or
Going via the route of resource-related billing?

Refer to the document: J48 - Project with Intercompany Billing
Link: http://help.sap.com/bp_blv1500/BL_India/index.htm
This is a very good document for guidance.

I am trying to understand the pricing procedure, i am using standard pricing procedure RVAA01 ->
When i check the conditions Tab for a particular materials it has the below condition types :-
1. EK01

Anbody pls give idea on how these conditions types are determined ..??
I have checked & found condition record only for PR00 & MWST .. i could not find condition record for VPRS Condition type but how is it determined ?

EK01 comes from the actual cost on the service order
PR00,MWST,DIFF,VPRS from memory these are all condition records created via EK11

VBAP-SERNR is not provided in BILLING REQUEST as it is in the DEFAULT ORDER

Dear SD Sales and Delivery experts,
i would appreciate your support very much!!!
We want the system to transfer the maintained field VBAP-SERNR from the document DEFAULT ORDER (Program: SAPMV45A / Table control: TCTRL_U_ERF_AUFTRAG) to the succeeding document BILLING REQUEST (Program: SAPMV45A / Table control: TCTRL_U_ERF_GUTLAST). But the table control of the billing request does not provide this field. The Screen Sequence grp. for the order is AU and for the billing request it is GA.
Does anyone has got an idea how to hit this target?
Many Thanks in advance

Hi,
In the approver step there is ABAP class has been maintained (CL_PT_REQ_WF_ATTRIBS) and the methods used is DUMMY.
Inside the class there is another method (APPROVE)..The code of the method which is standard is like that:
DATA: request TYPE REF TO if_pt_req_request,
        event   TYPE tim_req_xfer_event VALUE cl_pt_req_const=>c_reqtrans_approve.
CALL METHOD cl_pt_req_badi=>get_request
    EXPORTING
      im_req_id = me->req_id
    IMPORTING
      ex_request = request.
CALL METHOD cl_pt_req_badi=>initiate_state_transition
    EXPORTING
      im_request    = request
      im_event      = event
*    IM_RET_VALUE = 0
    IMPORTING
      ex_new_status = me->status.
I think the status is coming from the code.There is another method like SET_WF_ATTRIBS where the code for status retrieval is :
status = im_attribs-version-status.

Using the Billing Request Editor in Web Dynpro

Billing Request Editor has a number of functions that defer some of the DP91 functionality (postpone/reject) to Web Dynpro user interface. For example, WIP (Reject, Postpone) and Accrue.
On the WIP (reject and postpone) portion of the functionality it seems to go back to DIP and update AD01DLI for all items that were not billed.
However for the portion entered on the Accrual screen it does not seem to go back to DIP and update AD01DLI. Only the DMR is updated. Why?
If an accrual amount is billed to the customer for a missing/late timesheet using BRE and the timesheet is later entered/recovered would there be no requirement to go back to DIP and reject the recovered time sheet as already billed in the accrual or have the ability to reverse the accrual and enter the timesheet. It seems to presume that the user will keep this sort of reconciliation off line. Any comment? or am I missing a setting in configuration that brings the accrual back to AD01DLI for subsequent processing?
Thanks,
Alex Farber

Vitaliano,
You make a very good point. And it is probably the way that we will go. However, my task is to evaluate Web Dynpro and Visual Composer for our needs. Especially since the graphing capabilities in Web App Designer are limited for our needs. We will, at some point, have a need to combine warehoused information in BI with real-time data in R/3. I'm anticipating that this is where Web Dynpro will be useful for us. Therefore, my questions as stated regarding Web Dynpro. I just find it strange that none of the SAP documentation elaborates on the topics that I am concerned with, even though tantalizing capability summaries are dangled throughout.
Thank you.

Billing Request in Value Contract Document Type

Dear Friends
In Value Contract Document Type WK1 in [VOV8] Billing Request is IRC:- Debit Memo Request for Contract
What is the use of it how i will see it is effect in standard business process
Regards
Arun

The billing request is your call off sales document for the value contract e.g. USD 2,000 contract for which initially only USD 500 is billed, thus the debit memo request. The process applies to a situtaion where there is/are partial or staggered releases of contracted goods or services.

Billing request for Service order

Hi,
Is it necessary to have a revenue in service order to create a billing request (DP90) ??
Or
Actual costs in service order is sufficient to create a billing request ??
Thanks

Resource Related billing means billing request will be created based on the cost incurred to do Service order. DP90 will bring the actual cost from service order.
Pricing procedure should be defined accordingly to bring actual cost.

Related resource billing. Separeted billing requests for each service order

!!!!!! Dear Experts, help me!!!!
The question's urgent!
I need to bill collectively for my service orders, which means I need to combine several service orders into one single billing request (debit memo request) during RRB.
I configured DIP profile, but DP95 creates individual billing requests separately for each service order.
Thanks in advance.

Hi !
I hope you need to check it in copy control . Because there are some standard things which need to match for combine the invoice. like:-
1:- Billing date,
2:- Bill to party
3:- payment terms,
4:- Bill to party master data ( i.e agree to combine the invoice) etc.
And aslo the copy control from the Order to Billing document in header does it allow you to combine or not.
Hope it will help you.
let me know if anything required.
Thanks

Billing Request Editor - "Customizing missing for Characteristics"

Our Production system is getting the following error when users are trying to access the Billing Request Editor;
This same error doesn't exist in our lower landscapes and I've validated that the Characteristics for Billing Request Editor are in sync with one another. Is there more configuration that I am missing? Any assistance is appreciated.

We ended up removing the table entries and recreating them from another lower landscape environment. That seemed to work for now.
