Data Migration of Contracts with periodic billing and revenue recognition

Hello Experts,
I am trying to develop a legacy data migration plan for Contracts with periodic billing plan and revenue recognition.
Example of the scenario is given below:
Customer signed a contract for one year starting 01/01/2009.
Customer is billed quartely, billed in advance.
SAP going live on 04/01/2009
Customer is billed for 3 months and also for initial set up fees.
Revenue recognition is done monthly.
We have to migrate this contract to SAP.
Billing document posting may be necessay as it affects revenue recognition which spans across the total contract period.
Any ideas how to do this?
Thanks A Lot
Anil

Hi Anil
How did you manage this? We also had the same problem in one of our contracts and what we did was that we copied the contracts from the legacy with the full value. That is suppose SAP went live on 1st April, 2009 and the contract was created on 1st January 2009 for a value of suppose 100 USD, with the first billing being done on 1st Jan for 33.33 USD for 4 months. We first created the contract with a validity from 1st Jan 2009 in the new system. We billed it with a billing type that we created that did not actually create new accounting entries as the accounting entries had already been created in the legacy system. In the new system then we recognised the revenue till the go live, so that the actual value remaining of the contract reduced. Then we started the billing plan of the contract from 1st of April 2009 for the remaining amount. So next invoice was created on 1st april for 33.33 USD. Can you share your solution.

GAAP Invoicing and Revenue Recognition EITF 00-21

Does anyone out there have any experience with GAAP invoice and revenue recognition rule EITF 00-21, dealing with Multiple Element Arrangements?
This is the scenario where a contract or sales orders includes support or service that is packaged with a product, therefore customer sees its price as $0; however, when is comes to revenue recognition, vendor needs to account for the revenue according to the typical price for the support or service and percentage of the total contract or sales order.
This would be something that is imlpemented in Advance Pricing, Order Management and AR.
Thanks!!

Sales Order Progress Billing and Revenue Recognition

I need some suggestions to take care of a progress billing and revenue recognition requirement. Billing and revenue recognition need to happen in parallel but on totally different schedules. Here's a sample scenario that I'd like to set up OM and AR without customization to do the following:
Sales Order $100000
Billing
Jan 06 $25000
Feb 06 $60000
Mar 06 $15000
Revenue Recognition
Jan 06 $20000
Feb 06 $30000
Mar 06 $40000
Apr 06 $10000

Hi
There is no standard functionality that support integration of Order Management and Oracle Projects Billing.
In Projects you can generate revenue based on progress. There is a form in Projects, where user may enter once a period the percentage of progress for the project.
You may want to setup the project with revenue distribution rule as event, and assign a progress based billing extension to the project.
You should develop your own code to generate projects invoices for items delivered from OM. A custom code could be loading events using API, an event for each shipment transaction in OM. Note, if you are going to generate invoices from projects, you should avoid interfacing the transactions from OM to AR, to prevent double accounting.

Revenue recognition job hangs and needs reboot of servers

We are on SAP BPC v7.0 SP6.1, using Microsoft Office 2007 and Internet Explorer 7. We have two environments - Production and QA. Production so far is running fine; QA is on a smaller environment.
I am an application user and load final production files into QA each month. For the past two months when trying to run the revenue recognition job for April 2010 and again for May 2010, the job just hangs where it would normally take about two minutes to complete. Both times it was the only job running at the time, as no one was using the QA environment. I had to terminate the job (which might leave the job running in the background) and have our Server team reboot our two servers (Application and SQL Server Analysis Services). Then the revenue recognition job completes.
Depending if I terminate and resubmit the revenue recognition job, I might get the following detail log message:
Execute formulasError
Failed to commit transaction
1 errors writing data
Send through SendGovenor failed
Last week, our DBA set the QA databases to Simple instead of Full recovery and shrank the transaction log files. I ran a test revenue recognition for July 2010 and the DBA tried to monitor the environment, but he could not see any job committing or any activity on the database. I ended up rebooting our servers to complete the test.
Has anyone experience similar problems and was able to resolve it. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Sorin Radulescu,
I load the initial billing file using the Import logic script and select the data file and transformation file. I click on the Merge data values option; click No to run default logic; and click No, do not check work status settings. Once the import completes, I run the revenue recognition logic for the accounts and periods I am working with.
I compared our Production transformation file, default logic script (which I am not running), and revenue recognition logic script to QA and they both match. My problem is when I run the exact same revenue recognition job in QA, the job just sits in running status but should finish in a couple of minutes. I would let it run for a couple of hours in QA, then terminate the job and have our two servers rebooted, then the same revenue recognition job runs to completion within a couple of minutes.
I am just wondering if there could be some other setting that does not let the job submission kick off the actual update to the database. To make sure the database was not hosed from the terminated revenue recognition job, I ran a different but smaller job and it completed. Then I would ask for the reboot and resubmit the revenue recognition job and it completes.
I will let our DBA know about monitoring the dllhost.exe for amount of memory used. But the last time he tried to check for any activity on the database he could not see anything, but I do not know if he was checking dllhost.exe or some other files.
Thanks for your response and suggestions. Since this is our QA environment (which I try to keep current with Production), I am trying to see if I can identify the cause and fix it, in case it carryover to our Production environment.
Regards,
Bucky

Has anyone switched to a time/service related revenue recognition method from the standrd billing method? we are looking at switching and I wanted to know of anyones experience and problems you came across during your change, did you create new item categories or just update the existing categories(this is what we are thinking of doing). How did you handle open Sales orders which are using the standard method etc...

Settlement of Project Cost and revenue to GL

I am trying to Settle the project Cost and Revenue to GL account. For the same I have defined settlement profile maintaining GL as optional receiver and then I have maintained Source structure for cost and revenue as to separate them at the time of defining settlement rule, defined Allocation structure where in receiver against source, I have assigned GL as by cost element receiver. After that I have maintained settlement rule for WBS element, but when I am running a settlement is done to either of the GL for cost or Revenue which ever is defined first in settlement rule. It is not creating any settlement for second line item of the settlement rule and system is not giving any error message as well.
Where as if I am trying individually only for cost or revenue , settlement is completed with all the values but with any accounting document generated, but if I see the entries to that GL, a settlement entry is created for that transaction.
Can anyone please help in solving this issue ASAP.
Thanks and Regards

Hi,
    If it is posting to the first line means....
Follow the steps below:
First try to create a project and post the actuals and revenues.
Go to cost element report pick up those cost elements both for costs and revenues.
Go to Soruce Structure in the config, define the structure with name for Ex: 'Z1' and define two assignments, one is Costs and other Revenue, by selecting the costs go to Source mention the cost element where the actual costs are posted on (Mention only that cost element no other cost elements), next select the Revenue assignment and click on Source and mention the only cost element where the revenue wsa posted (Mention only that revenue cost element no other cost elements) and save the transaction.
Come back to project builder, select the wbs and click on settlement rule, in the menu goto-->settlement parameters and check whether the source and settlement profiles are correct or not, incase source structure is not available mention the same.
come back to settlement Rule overview and fill the fields as mentioned below:
1st line:   Category: GL
              GL Account: GL Account Number
              Source Structure: COSTS
2nd Line: Category: GL
              GL Account: GL Account Number (Revenue Account)
              Source Structure: REVENUE.
Now Run the Settlement for the specific period costs posted, the costs will be posted seperately to the two different GL Accounts.
I think this will resolve your problem.

Revenue Recognition :- Type A : Time Based Revenue Recognition in Contract

Hello,
I am facing a peculiar problem while creating the contract relevant for Revenue Recognition Type A : Time Based Revenue Recognition in Contract.
The Item category setting I am using is as follows:-
1.     Rev. recognition : A : Time-related revenue recognition
2.     Acc. period start : B : Proposal based on billing plan start date
3.     Revenue Dist. : A : Total Val.: Linear and Correction Value Linearly Distributed
I have already done the necessary activation of Revenue Recognition.
Done the account determination for following :-
1.     Revenue account determination (VKOA)
2.     Deferred revenue (VKOA)
3.     Unbilled receivables (OVUR)
Still when I am trying to save the contract the document goes into Incompletion asking for "GL account for item 10"
Where as in account determination analysis the system has already showing the
1.     Revenue account
2.     Deferred revenue account
Kindly guide further.
Thanks & Regards,
Amrish Purohit

Hi
you can overcome this issue of G/l account missing while saving the document is by assigning the Account key of that condition type in
img-> sales and Disrtibution->account assignment /Costing->revenue account determination-->defina and assign account keys
here you have to assign the account keys you are using for that condition type in pricing procedure against the same conditiontype in the accurals field.
this will solve your problem

What is the purpose of Clearing and Revenue account in Asset Disposal : F-92?

Hi All,
Please clarify my doubt ;
In Asset Disposal - Sale to Customer : F-92 with customer
Suppose an asset with historical cost $1000 and accumulated depreciation of $100 is being sold to a customer at $1100, the posting entries will be as follows :
Dr     Customer Account (A/R)                    1,100
Dr     Accumulated Depreciation                    100
Cr     Fixed Asset - Acquisition Cost           1,000-
Cr     Gain/Loss of Fixed Asset Disposal       200-
Dr     Clearing Account for Asset Disposal   1,100
Cr     Revenue for Asset Disposal                1,100-
I completely understand the first four line items, but don't know the purpose or the 5th and 6th line items.
Please explain why we need a clearing and revenue account for asset disposal and what would be the impact of these accounts in asset accounting?
Thanks in advance !!!
Regards,
Vicki

Hi Vicki
This is just a technical account, which gets Dr and Cr in the same document
The purpose is just to tell you how much asset sale has happened during the year.. You can get this info by looking at the GL Account
Since Asset Module is a sub ledger, the asset needs to be retired. At the same time, the FI-GL also should show the needed info from accounting perspective
While the required GL entry is completed with the 1st 4 line items, the 5th and 6th are just the statistical ones

G/L Account and Revenue Account determination

Hi all,
What is the difference between G/L Account determination and Revenue Account determination?
How to configure them?
Regards,
Ajit

Hi,
The account keys ERL , ERS, DIFF which are related to revenue and sales deduction in your pricing procedure are defined in transaction VKOA. Here the account key, chart of accounts, your sales organization and G/L accnt combination are maintained.
Whereas all the tax codes G/L accounts get picked from transaction OB40 , So in your pricing procedure where ever you see tax account keys, make sure you go to OB40, input your tax code and then you will see all the G/L accounts against each respective account key. This is nothing but the calculation of tax on sales / purchases.
Alternatively you can check transaction FTXP based on chart of accounts and tax code which proposes automatic G/L accounts configured by FI consultants
Hope this will solve your query.
If it does, please dont forget to reward points for contribution.

Revenue recognition at the time of Delivery - COPA

Dear Gurus,
Our sales cycles are bit different than the standard sales process.
In one of the sales cycle the business does the Billing first and delivery later and the revenue recognition should happen at the time of delivery not billing.
How do I achieve the same in COPA data flow and is this a reason why I should activate account based copa?
Regards
Roy
Edited by: roy001 on Mar 27, 2011 8:03 PM

Hi
Thank you for you comments.
Our business scenario is car sale- The car dealer looks into portal(called dealer portal) and checks the availability of a car.
Once the dealer makes the car selection, he then places an purchase order to the car manufacturer.
Based on the order the car manufacturer asks for the full payment from the dealer. After receiving payments, the car manufacturer delivers the car.
Therefore the invoice is raised before delivery.
The problem that we have in the above scenario is the COPA value flow. How do I flow the values into copa?
Any input?
Many thanks.
Regards
Roy
