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.
regards,
bill.

  • Difference  between  Receiver  Tracing factors and weighting factor

    Hi
    I   have read  sap help, but   the  difference between  receiver tracing factor and  receiver weighting factor is still not  clear.
    Can u provide an example to  understand it.
    Thanks
    kamala

    Hi Kamala
    As far as I know, the weigh fac is meant to determine the decimal places...and Sender values tab is meant for determining the % to be allocated...
    In the tab "Weigh factor", you would see a field FACTOR PER, which has the following entries
    0000001 No decimal places  
    0000010 One decimal place  
    0000100 Two decimal places
    0001000 Three decimal places
    0010000 Four decimal places
    0100000 Five decimal places
    1000000 Six decimal places 
    By default it is 0000100 which means 2 decimals..F1 help on this field shows that
    You enter 123456 as the weighting factor. Depending on the factor, this number is interpreted as:
    Factor      Decimal places   Weighting factor
    1                 0              123456
    10                 1              12345.6
    100               2              1234.56
    Hope this helps

    Hi,
       My material have 2 unit of measure Base unit is KG & issue unit is Lt. i m maintained in material master giving conversion factor But my problem is that when material goes in QM department as per range clearance factor the conversion factor varies little bit & difference comes in stock so how should i control this.

  • Conversion factor and batch management

    Dear gurus,
              1) I want to mention conversion factor in material master but when I enter it with decimal i.e. 1 meter = 1.55 tone
    system is not permited the decimal
    what I can I do for it.
               2) I want to mention my material in batches system is accepted the batch tick in work scheduling for raw and finish material
    When I am going to creat my material with semifinish It is not permited me to tick for batch manegment
    Thanks!

    Hi
    your poits:
    1. in conversion it will not accpt decimals , it is std feature.
    in stead you have to like this:
    100 mtrs= 155tone
    2.Std system will allow batch management for semi finished materials ( HALB).

  • Conversion factor on condition recorder

    Hi All,
    I have surcharge on billing document, this surcharge is fixed value by box, the UOM on billing is PC(Pieces).
    I configure a condition type for surcharge, and maintain the condition recorder by box, maintain the conversion factor, but the conversion factor does not work in billing, the surcharge is caculated by PC, not by Box.
    For example, I create the condition recorder
    Material        Amount      Unit   per    UOM
    M-001          1.00           USD    1       BOX
    Conversion factor:
    1 Box <=> 2 PC
    I have 3 pc in billing document.
    But the surcharge is 1.5 USD, not 2 USD.
    Why does the conversion factors not work?
    How can I get the surcharge by box?

    If the value is getting converted into 2 $ instead of 1.5$ then it may be due to rounding off rule. In billing or when the value is posted to GL account, according to New gl account rule it will automatically round off the value.
    and same way check you condition type for the condition rounding off is tick or blank.

  • How to manage variable conversion factor in UOM to order unit

    Hi,
    We have a material whose base unit is PC unit price is 8 Euro / PC
    Order unit is Box now we do not have a standard conversion factor.
    Means sometimes vendor send 8 pc/ Box ,10 pc /Box and 12 pc /Box
    so when we create Material master and enter order unit as Box in purchasing view system ask for conversion rate
    if we do not enter any the value in PC field its taking 1 Box =1 PC as default.
    Example: Now while creating PO say we order for 10 box.(at this point we do not know exact conversion rate)
    and in the conditions we maintain price against PC .system calculate.
    Now when we receive the material then we actually know how much QTy we receive in SKU (PC) but that field is blur (no input) in 101 mvt type.
    One more thing In MIGO we can enter the Qty in PO Price Unit say we enter 80 PC
    system only creates stock value posting (80 * 8 =640 Euro ) but the stock qty in MMBE is still 10 piece ( from 1:1 conversion with box)
    Please suggest how we can handle this variable conversion rate.
    So that we can enter correct Qty in the time of GR ( MIGO ).
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Thanks for the valuable  Input.
    For our material base unit is PC order unit is Box.
    Say we main a conversion factor 10 PC =1 Box ( a default value) in MM01
    And we order 10 Box. but when we receive we found that vendor send 12 pc per Box so total 120 pc
    [ Po price unit is in PC in condition details]
    Now in MIGO we cannot modify that Qty ( from 100 to 120 in PC)
    SO you are suggesting here we receive 12 box in MIGO. so that actual qty in PC is correct..
    Thanks again

  • How to view Conversion factor in info records conditions

    The Buyer define a conversion factor for a box.  1 box = 500 pce.
    When I was trying to see the conversion factor of the pricing in the info records conditions (Menu in  conditions Extras->Conversion Factors, it shows inactive...
    I ask to the basis team to check my rol for authorizations and that not depend of autorizations.
    They also use an ID with SAP_ALL authorizations and they get the same inactive (grayed out) item in the menu when I tried to look at a pricing condition.
    Do you know in Configuration where I can modify it in order to can display the conversion factors?

    Hi
    In the Purchase info record General data screen, at the bottom of the page ,there is Purcahse order unit of measure under that heading you have the Conversion factors.
    If you specify the order unit you will be able to maintain the conversions there
    Thanks & Regards

  • Conversion factor plant or any other organizational unit wise

    Dear Experts,
    Is it posible to maintain the conversion factor between base unit and alter nate unit plant or any other organizational unit wise?
    Please suggest.
    Rgds

    Dear
    what you haver to do is:
    Go to MM02...
    If say you Base UOM is EA and you want to maintain Carton as Alternate UOM...
    then give EA in Base UOM ...Now click on additional data-Click on Unit of Measure Tab---Here you maintain your conversion factor for EA and Carton...
    If at all you are at client level, then also no issues as there are maintained at Masters level.
    These data are maintained at Client level.

  • Conversion factor error in sales order - Unit of measure

    Hi All,
    I have uploaded a sales item in to sales order with alternate UoM. The base unit of measure for that material is TO but i have uploaded with a alternate UoM KG. After that i have created project deliveries, invoices and accounted those invoices in last financial year and now i found that the conversion factor which is taken by the system was wrong.
    Instead of taking 1000 KG = 1 TO, system has taken 1KG = 1000 TO
    I have checked the material master there there is no alternate UoM has maintained.
    So now my concern is that
    1. how i can correct this conversion factor with out disturbing my old transactions.
    2. From where system is considered this conversion factor.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Bhadrarao.

    Check your conversion factors in your Unit of Measure configuration.  Transaction CUNI. Look at the unit of measures for Mass.

  • Conversion factor problem for density - PP-PI

    Hi Gurus!
    Now  i am in pp implementation for  process industry.
    (Lubricants manufacturing Industry)
    1. On production of Semi Finished product each batch will be given a conversion factor where Raw materials will be consumed in KG and on MIGO (GR) output of Semi finished will be captured in Liters. In BOM for SKU (STOCK KEEPING UNIT) wise production it will be maintained in Liters.
    Now my area of concern are:-
    1. Conversion factor to be used at what stage & whether it is to be made flexible for each Process Order:   
       In proposed PP module it is being principally decided to undertake production of final FG in two stages. 
       First the production will be for product and in second stage it will be for the SKUs. The consumption of RAW materials will continue to be booked in KG. After the Blending is over when we do the GR for the Semi finished product the unit of measure should be in Liters ( that will depend on the Density after Blending)only.
       In Blending( Mixing of Base oil & Additive) operation the quality person will check the density (Kg/L)
    After applying the density he arrives semifinished quantity as detailed below:
    For Example  : semifinish  UOM  -
    Liter
                Raw mat1  qty   850Kg
                Raw mat2   qty  150kg
                        Total   =   1000kg
    Density of semifinish Material at 29.5deg C = 0..8957
    semifinish quantity  is  1000/0.8957 = 1116.45  Liter ( This is actual output)
    we need At the time of confirmation(COR6) the system will consume the raw material as 1000Kg and will give Semifinished qty as 1116.45  Liter
    How to map in SAP?
    Regards
    Ramrao

    Hi,
    You can handle this scenario by the use of Batch specific unit of measure.
    For Your Halb code use two unit of measure,
    - one which will be your Base Unit of measure - KG
    - Second will be your Production unit - Ltr,
    [ Batch Specific Unit of Measure|http://help.sap.com/bestpractices/BBLibrary/Documentation/Q24_BB_ConfigGuide_EN_US.doc]
    Now Do production / Confirmation and GR in KG.
    Insert MIC for Density where QA person do the test for Denstity.Use this MIC as a Link MIC so that value of MIC transfer to the Batch data of that Batch no. of that Halb code.
    With help of settings made in Batch specific unit of measure and dependency u will find stock in liters also.

  • Conversion factor from LNG to NG

    Hi,
    I have a scenario, the LNG comes through the marine to the terminal and then get converted to Natural Gas and finally delivered to customer through pipeline.
    This is a TSW scenario.
    The issue here is i dont know the conversion factor to convert LNG to NG.
    If somebody coul let me know.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    The volume of the LNG is 1/600 that of the gas in its vapor state.
