Hi,
This is because of two issues.
1.Check the Billing value in the sales order.
Goto VA03
Enter the order number.
Goto Item details-->Billing Plan.
Check the field "Billing Plan" and "%" for the first item.
The same will be flowed into billing if all the copycontrols are correctly maintained.
2.Goto VTFA T.Code.
Select your valid combination.
Click on Item.Select your Item category.Details.
Maintian "Copying requirements" as "023".
Pricing type as "D".
Pricing Exchange rate type as "A".
Price source as "Blank(Order)".
Save.

Remove from Billing Plan after Pricing Condition change

Hi all,
I am trying to implement code to deduct from the last date of a billing plan once a pricing condition type is used. Currently, when you enter the pricing condition it spreads the deduction amount across all of the dates in a billing plan.
If we use VOFM, where would I define this? I've created code in the Pricing Requirements but table FPLT is not available to me and I don't know how to only remove from the last date instead of all.
Thanks in advance!

Hello,
If you have necessary authorization to change the Pricing Date in Invoice, please go ahead.
Change the Pricing date in Invoice, go to Conditions tab & update the Pricing. System will fetch Condition Records as on that date.
Hope this helps,
Thanks,

BAPI for billing plan and billing order

Hi Sap Guru, i need your help on bellow questions :
Are there any BAPIs or MF standard used to read billing plan from the business partner (header and lines) ? Are there any that permit to create, simulate, modifify or cancel a billing plan ?
Are there any BAPIs or MF standard used to obtain payment from a Busines Partner or Contract Account ? Are there any that allow to obtain views on the accounting records (header, extension, set of payments, discharges...)
Thanks in advance for all reply.

Check the BOR object PAYSCHEME . You would find all the methods there

Billing plan and billing status

Hello Friends,
I would like to clarify if my understanding is correct before I configure a billing plan:
1. Billing status is not seen in billing doc but in preceding doc like a DO.
2. For a Billing Plan, there can be 1 billing plan at item level for a set of settlement dates.
If the plan is defined at header level, only 1 billing plan is for all items.
3. Contract is a sales doc type and contract data is only at header level.
Is this considered an Order-related billing when invoice is printed at each billing date?
Is the contract considered as the reference doc for the billing doc sent to customer? I believe so. please confirm.
4. There is no such thing as master billing plan that item level billing plans need to be linked to.
5. date category : this is at billing date level and cannot be changed?
regards
Pascal

Hello,
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.
Thanks,
venkataswamy.y
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

the article was great it explained about billng milestone very well

Billing Plan and Promotions for Service Agreements

Hello Friends,
We have a requirement here, that we want to sell a 1 Yr Service Agreement (Price of $1200) on a promotion who ever buys this service agreement will not be billed till three months (for evaluation purpose) and say if they like it and want to continue with this agreement then on the begining of the Fourth month they will be billed for the remaining portion of the service agreement ( i.e. $900). in a way that means they will get a 25% discount on this service agreement and remember the bill will be only one time i.e. in the fourth month for an amount of $900 and also this promotion should last only till the end of this year.
Any thoughts on how we can configure for this, your help
will be greatly appreciated
Thanks

You will require two service contract document types. The first (say contract type SC) which uses milestone billing and the other (say ZC) which uses periodic billing.
The second one should be generated as a follow up action of the first at the end of the first year.
Ensure that the milestone billing allows you to bill 25% in the first installment. You can ofcourse block this one. The second one should allow you to bill 75%. This will not be blocked.
If the customer does not terminate the contract during the first quarter you bill the customer for the second billing item.
Once this contract has ended you can create another contract which will use the periodic billing which is simple quarterly billing which is what I think u require.
Next, the item category is an area you might have to think on. You may be able to create the same contract type if u can create the same material with a different item category so that in the same document type u can create first an item with milestone billing and the second with periodic.
Most probably this will meet your requirement. Please vet this with the FI/CO guys to check how it reflects their G/L accounts.
Let me know if u need any more tips.
thanx

CRM 2007 Pricing based on settlement period of billing plan

Hi,
I need the ability to have disocunts on a service contract based on the settlement period of the billing plan.
A contract list price is 12 GBP per month.
If the customer want to bill monthly no doscount will be applied.
If the customer wants to bill quarterly a discount of 1 GBP will be applied.
If the customer wants to bill annually a discount of 2 GBP will be applied.
If the cusomter wants to pay upfront a discount of 5 GBP will be applied.
For this purpose I enhanced the field catalog for pricing with this new field.
A condition table using this field was created.
Badi CRM_COND_COM_BADI was used to pass the field from the billing plan to pricing. I used FM CRM_BILLPLAN_READ_OB in if_ex_crm_cond_com_badi~item_communication_structure.
When the contract is created the Badi is called and the period specific price is found.
When I change billing plan the badi is only called for the BRI (Billing Request Item) but not for the contract item for which the price is mantained.
Does someone has an idea how to establish this???
Thanks in advance.
Points guaranteed.
Regards
Dirk

Hi Stas Shapiro,
Your question is related to u201CCustomer servicesu201D module in SAP, you can post such issues in a forum called u201CEnterprise Asset Management (EAM)u201D in sap.sdn forum,
Whether you have Service contract or in Warranty you need to have special condition types like ZZDC, PPAG etc. for pricing procedures PABR01/02 (Header or item pricing procedures.)
Similarly a different pricing type for Warranty need to be configured.
I suggest you to go through the following sap.help.link to get complete solution to your thread
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/en/e6/4a903f9e0311d189b70000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
For time related billing you need to use service orders with resource related billing, even for this you need to explore the above link.
all the best.

Header Billing Plan Net Value is blank- Any solution?

Dear Gurus,
I have a Periodic Billing plan and have entered the pricing values on at item level. The item billing plan is ok, but I can not see the net value on the header billing plan, is blank
Does anyone know what the issue can be?
Thanks
Iñigo

Hi,
If you get the values correctly at the item level, I think that is correct. You have not enabled the billing plan at the header level. The header BP will be the total of all item BP, only if BP is enabled at header level also. Otherwise the data will be blank in the header BP screen.
Please enable BP at header level and then check how it works.

Sales Order Status with Billing Plan

Dear SAP SD Gurus,
I have an order with 2 billing plans and both of them have been invoiced.
The status of my order still considered "being processed" eventhough both invoiced have been created and posted to FI.
I'm using item category "TAO".
Any clue will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Soo

Dear All,
I have fixed the problem. The schedule line for TAO should be non-delivery relevant.
I have changed to not-relevant for delivery and it is working now.
Thanks a lot for all the clues.

Billing Plan - GL Account Problem. (Periodic Billing Plan)

Hi Every body,
I created rental agreement throguh contact and aslo I have configured the periodic billing plan. when i am saving the document,system through an error i.e., GL account not maintained.
can you please tell me, how to maintain this GL account and where i need to maintain.
thanks in advance .
Regards,
Srinivas.

Is this the incomplete log you are getting?
Normaly system should never ask for the GL account while creating a contract......
Anyways system is trying to create a billing doc in the background, try to create block the billing (you have the option available in billing plan) and save the transaction.
I think in the configuration you have the option where, when ever you create a billing plan the system should block the plan untill release it manualy or by milestone........

Billing plan in Contract.

Hi Gurus,
I wanna set the billing plan at item level in contracts. I have done the necessary settings and now billing plan is showing at item level. But, its happening that when I try to put values in billing plan for the contracts which are already exist in the system its showing following error:
Item 000010 can not be invoiced according to
billing plan
For these contracts, subsequent documents have been created ( sales order ). Is that reason its not letting me add the values in billing plan?
Will you please guide me why this error is occuring?

The reason is in your question. Since there are sales orders which have been created based on the earlier settings, you cannot change the billing plan now. You need to give it before you create the documents at the time of customisation, IF YOU STILL WANT TO proceed, you have two options:
1. Delete the earlier docs created.
2. Create a new contract which is a copy of this contract and define your billing plan and create your sales docs.

From Billing plan invoice raised automatically

Hi,
We create a sales order, copy a billing plan from project plan financial milestones,
then as soon as we confirm an activity of financial milestone in project plan automatically invoice get raised in the system and shows in the vf04 finance.
But now in some cases we have created a billing plan. and billing date has been given for all milestones. as soon as todays date reaches automatically all milestone from billing plan triggers the invoice. even without confirming the activity.
Pls suggest.
Point will be rewarded.
Thanks

Hi Vinayak,
One way to avoid this is to set up billing blocks for individual billing plan dates.
In the change sales order screen goto the billing plan tab page and for each billing plan date set up a billing block under the column heading for billing block. You can do this manually as well set up an automatic block for all billing plan date.

Thanks,

as far as I know there is NO such standard report.
you would try to build sap query based on VBAK/VBAP using VBFA checking LIKP/LIPS and VBRK/VBRP...
but you may request abaper for more professional report with MKPF/MSEG and BKPF/BSEG

Billing Plan Start Date not copied to Sales order from Service Contract

Hi
We are developing a process of Creation of Service Contract and then a order confirmation.
Now based on the Order Confirmation will bill based on the Bill Plan.
The Bill plan start date in contract header is not flowing to Sales Order header while creating with reference.
Then navigating to Header Billing plan and if we input the date the billing plan dates are displayed.
We checked the copy control settings and seems like the date is not copied.Is this a standard behaviour.
If so then do we have any work arounds to achieve the same. Because the contract start date can change before confirmation.
So business wants a sales order confirmation to be created after contract creation and bill periodically as per the Sales order instead of contract.

Hi,
Appreciate ur quick response. But instead of FKDAT i need the FPLA-BEDAT to be flowed to Billing Plan.Right now iam entering the following date manually at header.Instead if it copies from Contract header then manual entry could be neglected.
Is it possible with the same routine to code with the above mentioned FPLA-BEDAT.
