Automatic Billing Block removal in Periodic Billing

Hi guys:
Is there a way to have the billing block removed (not manually) when we use periodic billing? We do not want to manually remove the block each month in order to do invoicing.
Thanks for the input

Aaon,
You seem to be using a standard business scenario. In case you have done the customization for Periodic Billing, and set up a billing plan type 02 (periodic), then you must have also set up the 'Next Bill date' routine there. Here, you specify the day of the month (or the date) on which you want your periodic bill to be generated.
Once these settings are in place, there is no need to put your orders on billing block. They will not bill until the date in the plan.
Is this not working in your case?

How can I remove the Billing Block in Billing plan for a single sales order? (header level)
What I need to remove/change to empty is the field FPLT-FAKSP (from Billing Plan tab) and not the FAKSK from table VBAK (in Billing Document tab).
Following example is only to remove the VBAK-FAKSK, but what i need is to remove the FPLT-FAKSP.
Please help.
Thanks

Hi,
I don't want to use this is the sales order user-exit. What I really want is to have another different program running in background for example and removing this Billing Block (FPLT-FAKSP).
My code is only working for the billing block in Billing Document Tab and not for the one in Billing Plan.
Thanks a lot

Anyone knows already a solution for this??

Billing Block removal not updated in the sales order change log

Hi Gurus,
A specific Billing Block is automatically assigned to the sales document header (VBAK-FAKSK) when the net value of the sales order is negative. This is an order related billing.
Sometimes the Billing block is getting released automatically and the Negative Invoice is getting created in the Background job run for creating the invoices. When we check the sales order, the Billing block is not existing and the removal of the billing block is not recorded in the Change Log of the sales order.In the CDHDR table also there are no details about the release of the billing block.
This is happening only occassionally. When I tried to replicate the issue, the system is not allowing me to create the invoice as long as the billing block is there in the sales order and if I remove the block, it is recorded in the sales order change log.
My doubt is.,
1. How the billing block is getting released automatically?
2. Even if the block is released, why it is not recorded in the Change Log of the sales order?
Looking forward your for suggestions and solutions.
Thanks,
Ravi

Hi
Did u check in sales doc. details screen.There u can block for billing.

srini 1379

HI,
The billing block can be removed by authorised personnel only. Firstly check if you are authorised to remove the billing block. Please try the trasactions vkm1, vkm3, vkm4. Also you can check the billing block in the va02 by entering the document and release it.
Hope it is useful.
thanks

Sales Order Billing Block Removal after Milestone POC 100% Only

Dear Experts,
My client requirement is like following.
1.Total Milestone number is 10
2.Each Milestone carries weightage of 10% Invoice billing.
I want to bill the milestone which is 100% completed only.
In SAP Standard Function what I am getting is , When I feed Actual Date in Milestone then Billing Block is removed in Sales Order Billing Plan.
Is it possible to remove Billing Block if Milestone POC is 100% also.
Kindly suggest if there is any User exit ocustomer exit available for that.
Regards

I want to bill the milestone which is 100% completed only
This is a standard feature. Once you reach the milestone enter the actual dates and the billing block gets removed allowing you to do the billing.
Whatever you are getting in the standard system is perfectly fine. That is how the standard system works.
Is it possible to remove Billing Block if Milestone POC is 100% also
Could you please explain this statement? Are you asking, whether its possible to remove the billing block without entering the actual dates even though the milestone has been reached?

Billing block in periodic billing

Hii all,
Need a solution for the following project scenario.
We have a scenario where periodic billing is involved through project.
In the sales order we assign the WBS element in account assignment. After assigning the WBS element, billing is blocked.
If we confirm the activity in project then the billing block in the sales order should be removed. But it is not removed. The same scenario works fine if the billing type is milestone billing.
Please suggest.

Hi,
Are you asking about whole process of periodic billing or you just want to know where we put billing block and where we remove it.
I am considering you know how to set up periodic billing.
Now go to OVBJ and select your date category which is used for period billing
Over here you can set billing block for the periodic billing.
In OVBI you can find out your periodic billing plan and date category assigned to it.
For removing the billing block you have to go to VA02 and enter your document number.
Now go to Goto u2013 Header Data u2013 Billing plan.
Over here you have to remove your billing block one by one when your task is completed.
Then try to carry out billing document for that.
Hope so this will solve your query

Billing block should not be removed manually.

Hello Experts,
My requirement is
If an particular billing block is set,
The Sales order change is not allowed in T-code VA02.
The billing block removal using the T-code V.23 is not allowed.
Point no. 1 was able to archive using the user exit MV45AFZZ, routine USEREXIT_READ_DOCUMENT. I gave an error message using the FM   POPUP_TO_DISPLAY_TEXT and I used LEAVE TO TRANSACTION statement to navigate to VA03.
Point no. 2 I don't have idea how to archive the same. pointers on the same could be really helpfull.
Kind regards,
Sri.

Hi Sri,
As there's (or at least I can't see) any BADI/Enhancement for V.23, my best suggestion would be to create an implicit enhancement in program RVAUFSPE form BELEG_AENDERN_BTCI and do the check there. Something like this, at the beginning of the subroutine:
DATA ls_vbak TYPE vbak.
     CALL FUNCTION 'SD_SALES_DOCUMENT_READ'
     EXPORTING
       DOCUMENT_NUMBER = XM_VMVAD-VBELN
     IMPORTING
       EVBAK = ls_vbak.
     IF ls_vbak-FAKSK = 'yourbilling block'.
       EXIT.   "and/or some message
     ENDIF.
You might need some adjustments, but that's the idea.

Multiple invoices created in periodic billing

Hii All,
We are facing a problem in periodic billing. When i remove the billing block for 1 period in a sales order and try to raise the biling for the same, the system raises the billing doc for all the periods.
e.g. I have 4 billing blocks in a year. I remove the billing block for the first period and go to VF01 to raise the bill. The system shows 4 lines corresponding to 4 periods. I select only first line & save it. But the system raises the billing document for all the 4 periods.
Actually the system should show the line item (in VF01) for the period for which the billing block is removed and the document should be raised for that line item only.
Regards,
Vijay

Try thru VF04.

After giving billing block in sales order still able to bill the document.

Hi gurus,
I created one milestone billing and assigned to item category and sales document type.
in billing plan i had given billing block and also 2 proposed dates.
now when i am creating sales document system is coping all the information from billing plan.
it has billing block also
but when i am creating billing document with referance to sales order its not blocking.
in copy control i made the same setting as we had in credit memo request to credit memo.
on credit memo request it is working properly but in my order its not working
so can any body will help where i was getting wrong.
regards
Raj.

Hi,
I think system will not allow you to do billing.
Can you check billing block field in sales order Header / Item. Billing plan tab for your billing dates.
If billing block is there to billing dates, then you can't do billing.
Otherwise, do not maintain default billing dates in billing plan type OVBM. Try to maintain billing dates in sales order manually.
In sales order creation, go to billing plan tab enter billing date and %, system automatically defaults the billing block and billing type and billing amounts.
I hope you are using milestone billing percentage base.

Chandra

Periodic billing or contract

Hi Friends,
we have contract where we give some equipment on lease to the customer and customer is using that for 28 days
Billing plan is PERIODIC BILLING
Now when we see billing plan for contract it shows settelment (01/01/2010) to (01/30/2010) now as customer is using that for say only for 28 days so we want (01/01/2010) to (01/28/2010).
How to make billing periods to 28 days, the system automatically adjusts the monthly rate by prorating the 28 days. We need a billing plan template that a) sets up a billing periods on a 28 day cycle and b) should prorate the monthly fixed rate
if we give condition value as 900 for month then it is calculating 900/30 = 30/ day
but now client wants it should calculate as 900/28 = 32.14
thanks
Vishal

Dear Vishal,
You can use Periodic Billing in this case.
In your Contract Definition (VOV8) there is a field for BIlling Plan. Enter a Billing Plan here.
To define the Billing Plan there go to IMG - SD - Billing - Billing Plan - Define Billing Plan Types - Maintain billing plan types for periodic billing.
Here there are fields for Horizon & Dates.
Difine Rules for Determining Dates (IMG - SD - Billing - Billing Plan - Define Rules For Determining Dates. Here there are fields for TIme Period & Time Unit, which is what you can set for BIlling 28 days in a month.
Hope this helps.. .
THanks,

Setting up multiple billing blocks for a CMR - Credit Memo Request

I am trying to set a billing block for a credit memo request. The item category in VOV7 configuration only allows you to set one. I need to be able to set any of them and for it to block. If we do not use one; the system allows the credit memo to get created. If we choose the one that we configured in VOV7 it allows us to only use that one. The client needs to be able to select any billing block from the drop down when creating a credit memo request in VA01 instead of just one specific one. Is this possible? If so, where would I do this?

Surprising! when a billing block is applied in the sales document, then the system will NOT allow to create the billing document(in your case credit memo). Can you check in t.code OVV3, the billing blocks are assigned to billing types? After assigning, create a new document and test. The path is SPRO->Sales and distribution -> billing->billing documents ->define blocking reasons for billing->assign blocking reasons to billing types.

Billing block in sales orders

10.09.2008
Hi friends,
My Sales Orders have items with billing plan and normal items i.e items without billing plan.
When i put a billing block for items with billing plan then these items rightly dont appear in report vf04, but if a billing block is placed for items without billing plan then these line continue to appear in vf04. Why is the billing block not working in this case. Please suggest at the earliest.
Regards,
Udaynath

Thanks Sowmya for your reply. While executing vf04, i do select the option, but the materials without billing plan continue to appear in the list.
