Billing based on actual quality

Dear Gurus,
In our client company, they deal in different ore. If i want to ask a question only on sales side, then if their customer wants an ore with some qualities as captured in the variant configurator, like:
Character 1 = 65%
Character 2 = 2%
Character 3 = 12%
The price for this combination is (say) 100$/ton
But since this is ore, chances are that always that is not what comes out of the mine. So when it comes to doing delivey the quality changes to something like:
Character 1 = 62%
Character 2 = 1.67%
Character 3 = 14%
The price for this combination could be (say) 92$/ton
This information is only known at the time of delivery and this information has to be captured only at the delivery level and cannot be captured back in sales order, since for each sales order, there can be multiple deliveries, each delivery with different quality. But as per rule, customer has to be billed as per the Quality he receives. That is:
Sales Order SO1234 - Quantity 100 tons - Quality Combo1
          Delivery DEL567 - Quantity 15 tons - Quality Combo2
          Delivery DEL568 - Quantity 20 tons - Quality Combo3
          Delivery DEL569 - Quantity 18 tons - Quality Combo4    and so on . . . .
One small deviation is sometimes when the Quality analysis is not received on time, billing has to done on the quality as available in the sales order and the difference, if any, will be adjusted through Credit / Debit notes.
If someone can throw some light on this and give me a dynamic solution possibilities, that would be just great. Would appreciate all you help.
Best regards

Dear Yajee,
Please correct me if i am wrong.
1)The variant configuration has been done.
2) The pricing is based on variants (characteristics).
3) In delivery, the characteristics may differ from the orginal sales order.
Now , system should pick the price based on the characteristic values in delivery.
This requirement can be handled by using a Alternative condition base value in pricing assigned against the condition type for pricing.
The logic for the same will be
During VF01, system should fetch the record of the characteristics used for delivery and use the same values to
fetch the pricing records updated in the price tables.
Try this out with the help of ABAPer and revert back.
Thanks & Regards,
Hegal

when saving a file in [.jpg] format, i am asked to choose a quality from 1 to 100. what changes in the file created based on the quality parameter chosen?. i would like to know what changes, so in the future i can set my camera to a setting that will give me the highest quality to begin with,allowing me to make crops and still preserve the quality.
thank you

It's the level of compression. Lower number, more aggressive compression, more visual artifacts.
Aside from that you should never use jpeg as a working format. The compression is destructive and cumulative, and the file deteriorates every time you resave it.
Use TIFF or PSD, and if you need jpeg save out a copy as a single final step.

Hi
You can make the control setting as to whether the invoice receipt quantity or the goods receipt quantity should be relevant for billing in the copy control for billing on the item level in the billing quantity field.
In Customizing, choose Sales and Distribution -> Billing -> Billing documents -> Maintain Copying Control for Billing Documents -> Copying Control: Delivery to Billing Document -> Item, then select an item category.

Billing based on Position Payer (re-posted again)

Hello,
Let me explain my doubt.
Our customer, the way of working, after creating sales order with documents flow, is modify de Payer at position level and later create again the Proforma billing, and the final billing.
This crash with the standard way of billing, for example:
Sales order A
Header payer: n1
10 Position payer: n1
20 Position payer: n3
30 Position payer: n1
Sales order B
Header payer: n2
10 Position payer: n2
20 Position payer: n3
30 Position payer: n2
Final billing by standard:
Billing number 1: against payer n1 (OK)
Billing number 2: against payer n2 (OK)
The problem is against payer n3, system generate 2 differents billing documents instead of one per the same payer.
Is it posible on VTFA- Billing based upon Order, item level 'Data VBRK/VBRP' , create a routine with a ZUKRI in order to billing by positions payers??
Another solution, on VOPA,delete PY for header billing partner procedure and add PY to position billing partner procedure?
I would be pleased if you can help us?
I have created this 9XX rutine and now system is splitting by WE instead of RG:
DATA: BEGIN OF ZUK,
MODUL(3) VALUE '902',
VBELN LIKE VBPA-VBELN,
POSNR LIKE VBPA-POSNR,
PARVW LIKE VBPA-PARVW,
END OF ZUK.
ZUK-VBELN = VBPA-VBELN.
ZUK-POSNR = VBPA-POSNR.
ZUK-PARVW = VBPA-PARVW.
VBRK-ZUKRI = ZUK.
Any idea
Thanks in advance

Standard capability to delay billing based on POD receipt

Hello,
Is anyone know is an SAP standard capability to delay billing based on POD receipt?
Thanks

Bill, this is standard SAP. You will have to do 2 things to activate this SAP POD functionality:
- activate POD relevancy in the ship-to customer master (sales view, shipping tab)
- activate POD relevancy for the delivery item categories in customizing.
The Standard routine of copying requirements 003 - header/dl related in VOFM-> Copying Requirements -> Billing is the one that does not allow creation of invoice if POD confirmation is not received.

Delaying billing based on POD receipt

Hi
Is anyone aware of the SAP best practice for enabling a delay in billing after POD receipt. This would be an international direct shipping scenario.
Thanks
Proof of delivery (POD) is an instrument involved in business processes in which an invoice is issued only after the customer has confirmed the delivery's arrival. In addition to the proof of delivery itself, you can also record the POD date, POD time, the actual quantity that arrived and the reason for possible differences in quantities. This is especially important for deliveries where the delivery quantity varies because of the nature of the goods or for which the exact delivery quantity is unknown from the start. You are now in a position to issue an accurate invoice based on the customer's confirmation of goods received. You no longer need to create credit memos. The reasons for deviation that occur most frequently in "real world" scenarios such as stock shrinkage, theft, certain characteristics of goods (volatility, for example), and transportation damage are recorded and analyzed in the system. This analysis is especially valuable when you are negotiating with forwarding agents, vendors, or customers, since all deviations can be reflected.

Milestone Billing based on Percentage & Quantity

Hi,
Can you please guide how to map the following scenario
I have Business Scenario in Milestone Billing.
The Milestone terms are assigned in CJ20N and the same is copies to
sales order. The Milestone terms defined in the Project are
50% Advance Payment
40% Agaisnt Supply (Treating this also as advance)
10% At the time of Installation.(Treat this also as advance)
50% Revenue Realisation
50% Revenue Realisation
Order quantity is 100RMT
Order Value 10000
The definition of the each milestone is as follows -
Advance Payment: This Milestone raised at the time of booking of sales
order for Advance Payment. Unless advance is receivd orders are not
execute in the business. It means 50% of 10000 = 5000
40% Agaisnt Supply : This Milestone is raised based on supply of
material to the customer. It means as of Milestone Billing Date if
material dispatched is 20MT then the Milestone Billing Booked in the
system is 10000*40% *20/100= 800 (treat this also as advance payment
and client called it as Running Bill) and the same way book the billing
in the system upto completion of 100RMT.
At the time of Installation: This Milestone is raised when the
Installation process is starts. It mean example, if finish the
Installation of 10RMT, then the Milestone Billing is raised as per
below formula - 1000010%10/100 =100 (Treat this also as Advance
Payment and call it as Running Bill).
Actual revenue is booked in the system, once receive the completion
certificate from the client.
As of now in the system, only accept the value base or percentage base
milestones in the system. This type of above scenario how to map in
the system, can please propose a solution.
Kindly help me
Regards
Goutham

hi Goutham,
you need to configure your item categories for revenue recognition based on milestones. Thus, what happens then is you are separating revenues and billing. You can continue billing your customer for whatever milestones you have 50/40/10%, and the revenue can be recognized on the completion of the final milestone.
For customizing revenue recognition type on item category level go to
Sales and Distribution -> Basic Functions -> Account assignment / Costing ->
Revenue Recognition, Or via transaction: OVEP.
Set Revenue recoginition as Category A timebased revenue recognition
and Accrual period start as B -proposal based on billing plan start date
in a milestone billing plan, the billing date of the first milestone is then taken as accrual start date.
You can work on the latest version of the Revenue Recognition Best Practices Guide. The link can be found in note 779365.
Thanks

Purchase price variance based on Receiving QUALITY

Problem Statement:
The client have a requirement that when he places an Order to the vendor for a certain commodity, he agrees to a certain level of Quality Parameters and an agreed Rate based on these parameters.
Example:
$100/Kgs on a condition that the physical inspection Quality Parameters are met 100%.
$90/Kgs on a condition that the physical inspection Quality Parameters are met between 90% to 99%.
$80/Kgs on a condition that the physical inspection Quality Parameters are met between 70% to 89%.
When the Receiving is done against the PO, it was found that the Quality was not upto the standard and the result is only 90%. The Client has to pay for the received Quantity at the rate of $ 90/Kgs.
Q1. How this scenario can be handled in Oracle Purchasing, Inventory, Payables (without Quality module)?
Q2. What would be the Inventory Cost of the item $ 100 or $ 90?
Q3. What would be the Financial implications?
Edited by: user1116442 on 07-May-2011 06:37

Q1. How this scenario can be handled in Oracle Purchasing, Inventory, Payables (without Quality module)?
I don't think there is any seeded way to handle this. You may have to modify the PO price manually or generate credit/debit memos after the receipt.
Q2. What would be the Inventory Cost of the item $ 100 or $ 90?
If you use std. costing, your cost will remain constant. Any variations will generate PPV
If you use avg. costing, the receipts will keep updating the cost.
Q3. What would be the Financial implications?
The financial implications depend on your costing method. If you have std. costing, you will generate lot of PPV. And your inventory valuation will be done based on the std. cost.
If you use avg. costing, then you will be able to get inventory valuation at a cost which is weighted avg cost.
Hope this helps,
Sandeep Gandhi

Conditions are not getting calculated based on actual Base Quantity

Hi Frineds,
I have configure a new order type ZRE1 for credit return. While creating this credit return with the reference of actual Billing document, system is picking all conditions as mentained in actual Invoice. But while changing quantity in ZRE1, system is not updating conditions according to new Quantity entered and remaining with values as menioned in actual invoice.
Even after carrring out new pricning, some conditions like discount is not chaning condition base value, although we don't want to update the conditions with carry out new pricing, as it will change all conditions value.
Is there any customisation settings remaining in configuring new Order type. Pls help me to sort out this issue.
Thanks and Regards
Krishan Raheja

Hi Krishan,
Does your doc type ZRE1 have a Pricing Proc indicator assigned to it in VOV8?
And if yes, have you assigned a new PP to the combination of the relevant Sales Area+ Customer Pric Proc+ Doc Pric Proc?
And, what is meant by credit return--you mean returns for partial quantity?
Please check the above points and let us know more to help you...
Regards,
Raghu.

Billing Based on DIP Profile - PS - SD Line Items Structure

Hi,
I have created a sales order with 1 line item which is linked with a WBS Element via account assignment.
Based on the line item and WBS structure & Activities. I am billing the customer by creating a debit memo from DP91.
The billing is POC basis and is done on monthly basis. Thus at the end of each month the customer is billed according to quantities confirmed in DP91. Ultimately the complete project is done and all billing is completed as well.
Now the problem is: sales order line item had 1 quantity, however debit memo created via DP91 had more than 1 quantities and we have created multiple debit memo request w.r.t. a sales order. now the project is completed, but the status of the sales order is stilll "open". what should be the structure of sales order line items so that order is also set as completed when all quantities in PS are billed.
waiting for any kind of supportive information.
thanks.

Hi Robert,
You have 2 questions
1. On DIP
DIP has nothing to do with WBS, though you use WBS as one of teh characteristics in DIP. As per your DIP, many sales orders are created and they are enabled with different material (material determination in DIP). In order to analyse this further, you have to analyse the DIP, which is linked to your item category in VOV7. If not in VOV7, you can see the DIP name in the item level in the sales order. Using this, you can go to PS and there you can see the characteristics, usage and materials configured for this profile. This will give you a lead to find out why multiple items are coming. As per DIP profile, having multiple materials while creating documents in DP91 is expected behaviour.
2. For sales order update, you have to invoice all your billing plans, if your order items are billing plans enabled, (may be MS billing as your system has PS also). If you check this, and invoice all the milestones, then the status will be updated automatically. Before updating the sales order status, you should also close all the WBS elements and the project, which are linked to the sales order (I am not sure about this point, but you can try it in the test system, be have the system of one project per salesorder, may not be the case for you)
If you have any specific questions, pls lemme know.

Billing based on % of the project done

Hi all!
Let's see if you guys can help me out with some ideas here:
I need the billing as follows:
Every sales order comes from a project and generates a purchase order which account assignment category is "Project" (the same project that trigered the sales order).
This project can take 2, 3...months, but they want to bill every month.
So how can i have a billing process based on the percentage done of this project. For example: i create a bill for the 20 % of my sales order the first month, one for the 40 % the next month and so on.
Regards!

GM Resource Related Billing based on Cash

Hi Folks,
I'm relatively new to SAP and my users have asked for a modification to the billing process for NIH and NSF grants(letter of credit). Right now they are drawing down based on expenditures, but would like to change so it's based on cash disbursement.
I was thinking that we could setup a new Grants billing rule to look at Value Type 57, 95 and a couple of other custom value types to accomplish this. Every time I test by processing cash payment cycle, and running gm_rrb_ind it gives the error ''No expenditure items found'. I've tried a couple of changes (changed value type 57 to real posting on the grant) to see if they would help, but doesn't seem to make a difference.
Any tips you could provide would be much appreciated.
Brian

You can create activities for each task and attach milestone on it. when you complete the task confirm the activity so system will automatically confirm milestone as well, which will remove the billing block.

System wont know automatically, your project engineer should confirm the activity based on the completion of tasks.
