UNBILLED RECIEVABLE ACCOUNT- SERVICE CONTRACT WITH REVENUE RECOGNITION

Hi SAP Gurus,
I want to draw your kind attention towards my problem:
I have created  service contract with one year contract and created an invoice for the whole year in advance.
Now in-between i cancelled  a contract (after three months) and want to recognised a revenue for the contract period , so i'm creating a revenue recognition for the three months one by one using  transaction code-VF44,
first month revenue recogniton is working fine as first month amount is going from deffered account to revenue account
But for second month instead of deffered account ,system is using unbilled recievable account  ,which is wrong .
Can anybody tell me why the system is picking unbilled receivable account instead of deffered account in case of second month revenue recogniton.
This may help us:
"When i was cancelling a contract ,at that time i was entering a billing plan end date in billing plan tab at an item level.
and just after entering end date ,system was creating two lines instead of one in billing plan tab and i think because of that extra line system is picking unbilled receivables in second revenue recognition."
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Thank you for your reply.
I am doing a contract billing for overall period that is for 12 months (contract is of 12 months).
Just after 3 months i have realized that somehow we have to cancel the contract and we canceled that in 3rd month.
I had created the created a contract with periodic billing plan and for canceling that contract i'm putting contract end date in BILLING PLAN TAB as 31/03/2011 (Let say contract is from 01/01/2011 to 31/12/2011).
Can you/anybody please tell me whether is this the correct way of canceling the contract with periodic billing plan?
As per your analysis:
"It seems you have done the billing document for one period and you are doing the RR document for multiple periods and hence the revenue is going to unbilled receivable account for the period for which billing document has not been done"
As i have billed the customer for 12 months but contract was only for 3 months so i'll create RR for only 3 months and for rest of the period (i.e. 9 months) i'll create credit memo and send it to customer.
"Please use a billing type where you will specify only start date and end date of the contract and not the billing plan in contract"
How can we use billing type for contract start and end date .
I think as soon as i'm changing the dates in billing plan tab system is proposing another line item with different  billing dates and that is not getting covered under deferred account that is still unbilled amount .
Waiting for your valuable inputs.
In case of any clarification kindly revert to me.
Thanks,
Ujjawal

  • Enter a true account assignment object with revenues

    Hi there,
    At my current client site we implemented COPA - Costing Based. I mapped a few revenue accounts  to COPA. Now when I try to make a posting in to COPA using FB70 . The system issues a error Message "Enter a true account assignment object with revenues" . I know  the Prof Segment is the account assignment object  its looking for and the system is not deriving it  from the information I entered in the FB70 document. Am I missing somethig here? Did anyone out there face similar issue??
    You inputs are highly appreciated!

  • Enter a true account assignment object with revenues while reversing FB08

    Hi All
    When I am reversing the document through FB08 I am getting the warning messege "Enter a true account assignment object with revenues"
    Message no. KI166
    Diagnosis
    You made an account assignment for 31211100, a revenue element, in controlling area 1000 to a cost center or profit center.
    System Response
    Cost centers and profit centers can carry revenues in the SAP system as statistics only. To ensure reconciliation between FI and CO for revenue element 31211100, a CO account assignment object must record the revenues as a real value. This object type is used for updating to the reconciliation ledger.
    In principle, it is possible for the SAP system to automatically derive this CO account assignment object, the reconciliation object. However, all postings made in CO for costing-based Profitability Analysis are logged in the reconciliation ledger under "reconciliation object". In this manner, the reconciliation ledger identifies the exact values flowing into the operating profit. If you post reconciliation objects during revenue postings to cost centers or profit centers, you must do so while keeping the interpretation of the reconciliation ledger reports in mind. The sums of revenue postings to profitability segments, cost centers, and profit centers cannot be broken down further.
    Procedure
    To avoid posting to reconciliation objects, make account assignments to a real CO account assignment object.
    If you want to post to reconciliation objects, you can change this message to a warning or a note for future users, or deactivate the message entirely. Use the Implementation Guide under "Controlling: General" and choose Change message control. Enter area KI and message number 166. If you do not enter an individual user here, the change is valid for all users.
    It is not allowing me to reverse the document already posted.
    Please guide
    Thanks in Advance

    Hi,
    Do you have this cost element maintained in OKB9 with a reference to an internal order or profitability segment? If yes, please look at the note 373823.

  • Service Contracts  with billing plan not updating debit memo request in ECC

    For service contracts with billing plan, we cancel the line items and set the user status at header to "cancelled" and also set the cancellation date (under Cancellation Tab) at the header as well as item level which delete all items in the “DMR” in ECC (which are not yet billed). When we do this, it works perfect for most of the time and in some cases DMR items are not updated in ECC and it is billing. When I checked in CRM, the billing plan items are updated based on the cancellation date.
    Experts appreciate your help on this issue.
    Thanks,
    George.

    I dont understand when I am giving PC as CO Object assignment which is I think true assignment for revenue collecting over. Still system showing this warning message. I know this can be supressed by just pressing ENTER and I can save. By posting  in this way document even , I am not able to draw any report based on PC, neither KE5Z or F.01. All says No data found.
    What configuration piece I am missing ? Can any expert guide ?
    Regards,
    Revati Joshi.

    Just go to OKB9 and check the Cost Element, whether any default cost center or Profitability segment have been been assigned or
    not.
    If not, check if the Cost element is Revenue related, assign Profitability analisys. If not, check with settings of PCA.
    You shoukd never assign PC to a cost element ntil unless it is a Revenue element.
    Hope it helps
    Thanks

  • Service contract with multiple validity period

    Hi,
    I am having a requirement where i need to create service contracts with multiple validities.
    some contracts may have 1 year validity, some six months.
    I already have a transaction type for contract which is having 1 year validity period assigned in its date profile.
    can i use the same transaction to create contracts for 6 months???
    Regards,
    PePe

    Hi,
      Yes you can use the same transaction type for the other validity period. What you can do is when you create a service contract, it will automatically pick up the 1 year duration since you have defined that way. But you can write some enhancement in ORDER_SAVE Badi.
    First you create a Z table and maintain the different durations (say based on your item) in a Z table.
    For example,
    item    duration(months)
    100       6
    200       12
    300       18
    400       24
    So at the time of saving the contract, your Badi implementation will be triggered and there you can pick up relevant duration (say 6 months) based on the item entered in your contract. And once you get the duration, you can change the Contract End date accordingly and then it will be saved. This way you can get the Contract duration as per your requirement.
    Hope it HELPS...

  • IPhone Service Contract with AT&T

    I bought my iPhone on August , 2008 and broke it from dropping on concrete pave last year.
    I had to go to AT&T retail store in my town to get a replacement phone.
    Since i was still with 2 year service contract with AT&T, i had to pay full price for an 16G iPhone for replacement, which was like, i believe 600 dollars.
    When i called AT&T to see of my upgrade option to new iPhone 3GS today and they told me that i was not eligible until September of 2010 since i renewed the 2 year service contract on the day o purchaed new iPhone with full price for replacement last year.
    He understand what doesn't make sense. But he kept saying it is because it is iPhone.
    Is it True?
    or am i missing something?
    what's the point of buying a new iPhone in Full Price?
    Full Price means no obligation of 2 year contract?

    did you miss what i say about the replacement iPhone last year?
    it was full priced, which means i had NO OBLIGATION of 2 year service contract.
    what if you bring your extra iPhone that you get from your friend after he/she upgrade his/her iPhone 3G to 3GS and activate to replace your damaged 3G iPhone?
    I know they want $300 difference between full price and discounted price of iPhone 3G when i first purchased it. they scoup out from me every month for 2 years. but it is all for the first phone.
    Let's imagine.
    the first phone is gone, it is not there and i don't even have a phone. but still i have to pay for monthly service charged for 2 years.
    i understand.
    I agree to pay 60 dollars of monthly service charges to AT&T for 24 month even though i don't even have a phone because i owe 300 dollars from them to get my phone in discounted price.
    I bought a new iPhone in full price, which i am not obligated to pay discounted price for another 24 months because i did not have any discount from AT&T at all. But i had to pay few dollars to AT&T for activation service.
    Am i still missing something?

  • Service Contract with Multiple Prices

    Dear Experts,
                                We are using a periodic billing plan for our  service contracts and have an issue regarding pricing. The billing docs are created directly from the contracts using the billing plan. The contracts are multi-year contracts where billing to the customer is done, say @ price1 for year 1, @ price2 for year 2, and so on.. Even though we have maintained price condition PPSV for each of the years,we are still getting only one price(the current price) in the billing plan in the contract. Is it possible to get a billing plan in the service contract to appear as follows:
    Year 1 - Price 1
    Year 2 - Price 2
    Year 3 - Price 3
        We are  aware that the system will pick up the correct billing price/amount in the billing doc based on the validity of the pricing condition(PPSV) and using suitable copy controls between contract-->billing doc, but is there a way to get the billing plan appear with multiple billing prices/amounts for each year of the contract?
    We would appreciate your inputs.
    Many thanks.

  • Issue While Terminating a Service Contract with future date

    Hi CRM Gurus,
    We are in Oracle EBusiness Suite version R12 (12.1.3) and implementing service contracts for a client.
    Please help us with the following issue that we are facing while terminating  a service contract line with future date (end of the month).
    Example :
    A Contract 123 with 10 months of duration (Start Date:01-JUL-2013 and End Date: 30-APR-2014) has a service line 1.0 with unit price as $50 for a period of 10 months .The billing schedule is set for 10 months with each month for $50.
    The create main billing is run for the month of Jul 2013 and Aug 2013 and is sent to AR.Now we want to terminate the contract line with 30-Sep-2013 as termination date without any credit back to the customer so that we want to charge for month of Sep as well for $50.
    When we give 30-Sep-2013 as termination date and terminate the line, the billing schedule refreshes with $50 for Jul1-Jul 31 and $50 for Aug1-Aug31 and $48.39 for Sep1-Sep 29 instead of  30-Sep which is the termination date that we see on the line.
    The requirement is that we want to have the  billing for $50 even for the month of Sep,but the system only calculates for $48.39(which is 1 day minus) for the month of Sep. When we give Oct 1 as termination date ,then we get the schedule dates and amounts correctly i.e. 01-Sep to 30-Sep for $50.
    How do we achieve to bill for $50 when we put 30-Sep-2013 as termination date ? I see that the regular termination process does not consider timestamp while providing the termination date.
    Is this a bug or is there a patch for this or is there a workaround for this other than providing 01-Oct as termination date ?Please help.
    Regards,
    Sandeep Gorla

    Update the Ar Interface Table with  value 50$ for that record, before the Invoice gets created.

  • Multiple service contract with single binding

    Hi
    I am new to WCF and would like to use two or more service contract using same end point binding such as netTCPBinding.
    I have done some research but no luck any advice

    Hi,
    For this scenario, Endpoints identify a WCF Service. An EndPoint is a combination
    of Address, Contract and Binding. Mathematically an EndPoint can be defined as below:
    A+B+C=E
    If the same service is hosted      on multiple addresses with the same Binding and the same Contract
    If the same service with a      different Contract on the same Address and for the same Binding
    If the same service with a      different Bindings on the same Address and for the same Contract.
    We can say that as a service designer you may consider to create multiple EndPoints in the following scenarios.
    Service wants to expose more      than one type of binding.
    Service wants to expose more      than one contract on the same binding.
    Service wants to expose same      binding and contract on different addresses.
