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
Regards
Raj.

Please help.

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??

Hi all . how to configure periodic billing and mile stone billing ..

hi gurus
could someone please tell me the process of defining periodic billing and milestone billing for a customer or group of customers and how do we show the deficit in the accounts .. how to do the config for the periodic and milestone billing ..
thankyou very much in advance

Hi,
Billing Plan for Milestone Billing
Milestone billing means distributing the total amount to be billed over multiple billing
dates in the billing plan.
As each milestone is successfully reached, the customer is billed either a percentage of
the entire project cost or simply a pre-defined amount.
During sales order processing, the system determines from the item category whether a
billing plan is required and, if so, which type of plan
The type of billing plan that is determined at this point is set up in Customizing and
cannot be changed in the sales document.
Billing plans for periodic billing and milestone billing plans for project-related milestone
billing have different overview screens so that you can enter data relevant to your
processing.
For example, for milestone billing, you must be able to enter data to identify the
individual milestones.
IMG configuration requires :-
1. Maintain billing plan types for milestone billing in OVBO.
2. Define date description in SM30 - V_TVTB.
3. Maintain Date Category for Billing Plan Type IN OVBJ.
4. Allocate date category in SM30 - V_TFPLA_TY.
5. Maintain date proposal for Billing Plan Type in OVBM.
6. Assign Billing Plan Type to Sales Documents Type in OVBP.
7. Assign Billing Plan Type to Item Categories in OVBR.
8. Define rules for determining the date in OVBS.
Milestone billing is typically used for billing projects, such as plant engineering and
construction projects. Such projects often include a series of milestones that mark the
completion of different stages of the work. In the SAP R/3 System, milestones are defined
in a network along with planned and actual dates for the completion of work. The milestones
are also assigned to the billing dates in the billing plan.
Each milestone-related billing date is blocked for processing until the Project System
confirms that the milestone is completed.
Delivery-relevant order items for which a milestone billing plan applies are billed on the
basis of the requested delivery quantity and not on the total of the confirmed quantities.
The connection between the project and the sales document item is made in the individual
schedule lines of the item. Each schedule item can be assigned to a network in a project.
To display the project-related data for a schedule line, proceed as follows:
In one of the overview screens of the sales document, select
1. Item -> Schedule lines.
2. Mark the schedule line and select Procurement details.
The following figure shows an example of milestone billing where only the Contract have
been billed :
Order Item Turbine    100,000
Billing Plan
Billing date Description    % Value Billing Block   Milestone   Billing Status
01-10-94     Contract      10 10,000      -             x           x
01-03-95     Assembly      30 30,000      x             x
01-04-95     Maintenance   30 30,000      x             x
01-05-95     Acceptance    30 30,000      x             x
01-06-95     Final invoice ..    ..        x
Network/Activities
Milestone    Estimate      Actual
Assembly     01-03-95      01-03-95
Maintenance 01-04-95
Acceptance   01-05-95
For each billing date in a milestone billing plan, you can specify whether the billing
date is:
1. fixed
2. always updated with the actual date of the milestone
3. updated with the actual date of the milestone, if the date is earlier than the
    planned billing date for the date

Milestone billing is possible eventhough billing status is blocked.

Hi,
The scenario is like: I create a sales order for a configurable material which requires to create sales order BOM. Now when I save the sales order, delivery block status and billing block status are shown as 'blocked'. Its obvious as I haven't yet created sales order BOM and run the costing for the same.
But still I am able to do the milestone billing after removing billing block from the billing plan.
Is it the standard SAP functionality or defect in the system?

Hi
it is standard SAP functionality, based on the sales document type it will happen.
cheers

Billing block "Calculation missing" in sales order

When I save sales order today, i find that billing block - 01 Calculation missing is trigger. I have not found this block before. What is the root cause of this?

Hi,
Someone has change the configuration to have the billing block automatically in your sales document type. You can check it in the transaction VOV8.
Go in to your sales document type and see the field "Billing Block" under section "Billing". The value should be now "01". That's the reason why you get this billing block automatically in the sales order. If you don't want it to appear, please remove this entry to Blank and then try with a new sales order.
Best regards,
Anupa

Billing block at ship to level

Hi, is it possible to have a ship-to blocked for billing, others ship-to's related to its shold-to should go to billing without blocking.
I went to XD05, place the block, but the system is ignoring it. I can create the order, the delivery and the invoice without any problem.
Billing block reason is properly setup.
A billing block at sold-to level works fine.
Regards.
Carlos

Dear Carlos,
As per the standard the billing will be done for the bill to party not to the ship to party, so if you put billing block to the bill to party you can block the billing activity to that bill to party.
If you put billing block to the ship to party system will not stop the billing activity for that ship to party,system will continue to bill to the bill to party.
You mentioned that if I put block for sold to party system will not allow to bill ,because here the sold to party and bill to party might be the same.
Sold to party can function as Ship to party ,Bill to party and also Payer but Ship to party function as only ship to party.
I hope it will clear for you

Murali.

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
Edited by: WISH on Mar 10, 2010 8:24 AM

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,

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

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?

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.

Udaynath
