Automate integration of CC&B rate billing factors

We are attempting to automate what is now a manual process of entering rate billing factor values (Main Menu-->Rates-->Billing Factor). I was hopeful Oracle provides some sort of RESTful Web API that I might use for this purpose. It seems the Java-based SDK may be the only way to accomplish this. Is this correct?
I will be setting up a development environment by replicating the setup in production and conducting a POC that demonstrates that this is possible. To be honest, being new to CC&B I can't say it is possible to achieve this through an API or the SDK. I do not want to resort to changing data on the backend outside of a defined interface (API/SDK).
Any guidance here is appreciated. Please advise if I'm posting in the wrong forum. Thanks in advance!

Did you find the document Oracle Utilities Customer Care and Billing - Meter Data Management Integration Implementation Guide?
I searched on eDelivery and Oracle Support, but cannot find the document.

Hi,
Can anybody tell me how can the pro rata billing in RE-FX can be done. What config setting we have to do for pro rata billing. and the invoice can be generated in RE-FX.
Is there is any link for configuring the billing.
Thanks,
Shailendra

Hi,
I have exactly the same requirement. Making the value 'M', does not adjust the price automatically.
Currently I have as below (dates in dd/mm/yyyy) in the billing plan schedule item level.
11/01/2010 to 31/01/2010 - $3100
01/02/2010 to 28/02/2010 - $3100
01/03/2010 to 31/03/2010 - $3100
01/04/2010 to 30/04/2010 - $3100
01/05/2010 to 31/05/2010 - $3100
01/06/2010 to 30/06/2010 - $3100
01/07/2010 to 22/07/2010 - $3100
What I would like is to have as below,
11/01/2010 to 31/01/2010 - $2100 "Adjusted for 21 days of the month
01/02/2010 to 28/02/2010 - $3100 + $520
01/03/2010 to 31/03/2010 - $3100 + $520
01/04/2010 to 30/04/2010 - $3100 + $520
01/05/2010 to 31/05/2010 - $3100 + $520
01/06/2010 to 30/06/2010 - $3100 + $520
01/07/2010 to 15/07/2010 - $1500 " Adjusted for 15 days
" Additional $520 is the amount distributed equally among all entries except first and last, so that the net amount that will be billed to customer remains same.
Please share some ideas on how I can achieve this - either through configuration or in coding.
Thanks

Automatic determination of Delivery type and Billing type in a sales order

Hi,
I want to know that in a sales order cycle, how does automatic assignment of delivery type and billing type takes place after we create a sales order?
For example,when I create an outbound delivery for a sales order of type normal (OR) then in that case how does the system knows that it has to create an outbound delivery of type LF.How does the system propses it automatically and same is the case of billing document.

Hi
In customising the sales document type (Tcode VOV8) -
specify the default Delivery type in the field DELIVERY TYPE in the 'Shipping' area of the sales document type customisation.
Similarly you can specify the billing type in the BILLING area for both Delivery related billing and Order related billing.
Thanks,
Ravi

Automatic creation of delivery ,pgi and billing as soon as ordrer is creat

Hai gurus,
Can we do automatic creation of delivery,pgi and billing as soon as order is saved.
Plz explain ?
Thanks in Advance
sameer

Hi sameer,
unless the standard program is modified you cannot do auto pgi. However batch jobs can help creating a delivery afer sales order. But incase WM is implemented then we can for the required delivery movment types create an automatic transfer order and confirmation. This brings us closer to some extent in the task. Then schedule again a job that does PGI.
can you please however explain the business need for auto pgi. It helps us to learn something as well.

Why can't we have simple pro rata billing?

I've been a BT Broadband customer for ten years, and I am sick of these sales packages with their prefabricated bandwidth allowances and telephone or TV options. It seems to me that the BT Broadband sales strategists have a philosophy more appropriate to selling fried chicken. It's comparable to "bargain basket, 3 pieces chicken plus chips; bumper basket, 5 pieces chicken plus chips and free drink, family basket, 7 pieces plus chips and relish pack." Hence the insultingly stupid photograph on the BT Broadband web page, of a young Internet TV consumer before a flickering screen, cramming chicken segments into his mouth from a paper basket while laughing idiotically. BT's standard telephone service was never like this. You never found that if you didn't make 2 or more calls a month, you would be charged a non-use fee of £2, as happens with one of BT's Broadband plus phone packages. Nor did you get emails saying you had exceeded your allowance and would be charged a flat-rate fine, but "we know it can be confusing keeping track of your bandwidth usage; why don' you switch to a larger, more expensive package?" I suggest a simple solution: sack all the sales strategists and sell services with simple pro rata billing. Charge customers for what they use, plus a flat rate rental, just like you do with the simple phone service. You keep track of individual usage anyway, so that you can nag people about exceeding their allowances. So why not just charge pro rata and get rid of the sales packages? Or are you totally wedded to tricking people into paying for more than they need?

Welcome to the forum, which is essentially a customer to customer affair and messages do not necessarily reach anyone in BT.
As a fellow customer I couldn't agree more, except to say that it's not just BT. But you have to realise that we're ungrateful wretches, refusing to give thanks for the bountiful gifts of competition that were promised when telecoms and other utilities were thrown to the wolves of big business. The fact is though that when you're sending pretty much the same signals down the same wires, the same current down the same cables, the same gas through the same tubes, you've got to do something to snare more customers than the next firm. What better way than conning Joe Public into believing that your ever-changing, unfathomable price structure, all wrapped up in shoddy customer service from minimally-trained staff with little understanding and even less commitment, is better than anyone else's? If I was a cynic I could bang of for hours.

Automatic integration of SU01 user in to PPOMA

Hello experts,
We want to implemet Automatic integration of SU01 users in to PPOMA:
I.e. when ever user id is created from SU01, these users should be auotomatically assigned to the Org along with some default attributes in PPOMA based on certain criteria like cost center, user group, user role, profile etc.
Is there a Badi / Bapi so that report can be scheduled and newly created SU01 user gets the appropriate attributes in PPOMA without using USERS_GEN
Thanks,

Irahed. it may be possible. but you must ensure that always department is same 5XXXXX and you can write a small program for this and run batch .
since you must decide always which department it was supposed to assign.
do you remember vendor sync happen via batch in this same method .
since it has fixed vendor org permanaently.

Billing Factor and Conversion Factor..

Hi All,
While understanding meter reading estimation, I found two factors that are being used - Billing Factor and Conversion Factor. Please could anyone let me know where these billing factor and conversion factors are stored. I understand that the Register factor is maintained at the register level. I would like to know where the billing factor and the conversion factor get stored and how are they set per business rules of the industry.
Thanks in advance,
Yuvi.

Yuvi:
I am confused by your statements. Estimation works for all utility service scenarios, like electric, gas, water, etc. The differences are in the billing rules, the measurement details, and some conversion information. You also define the period details for estimation - do you use the previous period or the same period previous year. The unbilled scenario you describe is executed the same for any service type. The readings are checked, the estimation rules are evaluated and then an estimated reading is determined. The conversion factor and billing factor could be independent of the estimation logic which determines the reading. But that reading, based upon the device details, could be multiplied to determine a billing quantity. It might also be converted from the unit of measure for the reading to the unit of measure for billing eg. ccf > mcf.
You should be able to find documentation on unbilled calculations, as well as estimation.

bill.

Exchange Rate Billing documents

Dear Friends,
In SAP billing process; I am facing the problem with the exchange rate. as the rates picked in the sales order as default exchange rates maintained for the day; if the sales order is MTO and goods will dispatched after 2 months and within these 2 month the exchange rate got floated by a large amount and during the billing with VF01 t-code; the exchange rate will be something else; and I canu2019t change it at that instance also.
The billing document will be posted to the accounting after getting the money from the customer and the exchange rate will become something else at this moment also; and make a large difference of amount at this instance. Is there is any provision in sap system so that I can change the exchange rate in the billing document and with this same exchange rate I can post the entries in accounting also. It will solve the problem as it will give me the billing amount in exact LC amount also.
Please provide the solution for the same.
Kraheja

Good Afternoon,
In the billing document there are 3 exchange rates, please review:
- VBRP-KURSK
Exchange Rate for the conversion Loc.currency <-> Doc.currency.
for Price Determination
The determination of this exchange rate depends on the setting
of TVCPFLP-PFKUR in customizing copy-control
- VBRK-KURRF.
Exchange Rate for the conversion Loc.currency <-> Doc.currency.
for FI postings
If there is a manual entry in the sales order field VBKD-KURRF
(Goto -> Header -> Accounting), then it is copied into VBRK-KURRF.
Otherwise VBRK-KURRF is determined during invoice creation.
It is supposed that manual entry has higher priority.
See the OSS note 36070.
- KOMV-KKURS
Exchange Rate for the conversion Cond.currency <-> Loc.currency
at price condition level.
It is always determined according to the Pricing date.
See the OSS notes 92613, 97487.
During VF01 the system determines the Exchange rate for FI posting
VBRK-KURRF from the currency tables according(OB08) to the billing date
only if the field Exchange rate for FI posting is empty in the
source sales document (VBKD-KURRF).
If the sales document has this field filled, manually or copied from
a reference invoice (by copy control routine), then it is copied
in the subsequent billing document. This is the standard working
of the system.
The exchange rate should be based on your configuration in copy control
(VTFA or VTFL) at the item category level. The choices you have are as
follows:
Pricing Exhange Rate Type (V_TVCPFLP-PFKUR)
A Copy from sales order
B Price exchange rate = Accouting rate
C Exchange rate determination according to billing date
D Exchange rate determination according to pricing date
E Exchange rate determination according to current date
F Exch.rate determination accord.to date of services rendered
I hope you find this information very helpful and hopefully it will solve your problem.

Based on the TOR and Strategy the MRP is executed.
2) In MTO Scenario, once production gets confirmed , the stock is confirmed on the Sales Order.
3) In MTS Scenario, the stock is produced and kept in stock against the PIR.

Automatic posting accounts for exchange rate difference.

Guys,
My clients wants to write a check in GBP pound sterling, and for that I set up house bank for GBP and did all the other configuration steps in FBZP.We successfully printed out the check thru F110.Now when we try to mark the check as "encashed" thru FCHR,The log says 1 check selected and marked as encashed but no posting docunments get generated as system shows an errored out session,I looked into SM35,the job log says" exchange rate difference accounts are incomplete for acount 161511 currency GBP".System takes me to OB09 which is account determination for Ol Exch.rate differences.Should I update a/c 161511 here? Please note account 161511 is not a foreign currrency account.Its main cash bank account(US$ account) which I set up in House bank FI12.So in OB09 I dont see that account 161511.Wht should I do ?System also takes me to OBA1-maintain FI configuration Automatic posting. DO I need to do something in here too ? Please advice.Thanks
Regards
Iqtidar

In OBA1 > Exchange Rate Dif.: Open Items/GL Acct
Check the example below.
Chart of Accounts     xxxx
G/L Account          < GBP A/C from which you are paying >
Ex Rate Realized

Valuation

Val.gain 1           P&L - Ex Gain A/c Unrealized <720202>
Bal.sheet adj.1     For. Currecy Reserve < 520501>
Translation (similar to valuation)

Bal.sheet adj.loss   520501
Gain                 720202
Bal.sheet adj.gain   520501
Is this what you were after? The logic behind different GL postings should be able to explained by a person with an accounting background. Do let me know if you have any specific questions.
