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........

Hi,
Actually in my issue, I have created a Sales Order, Then Delivery and billing document and released the
billing doc to Accounting. Again, I created a Sales Order with same material and customer etc.
This time i created new delivery and billing document. Then, I am trying to release this new billing
document. Then also it is giving me the error ' Already released to accounting'.
This is entirely new billing document na, why in this case it is giving the error?
Thanks,

Data Migration of Contracts with periodic billing and revenue recognition

Hello Experts,
I am trying to develop a legacy data migration plan for Contracts with periodic billing plan and revenue recognition.
Example of the scenario is given below:
Customer signed a contract for one year starting 01/01/2009.
Customer is billed quartely, billed in advance.
SAP going live on 04/01/2009
Customer is billed for 3 months and also for initial set up fees.
Revenue recognition is done monthly.
We have to migrate this contract to SAP.
Billing document posting may be necessay as it affects revenue recognition which spans across the total contract period.
Any ideas how to do this?
Thanks A Lot
Anil

Hi Anil
How did you manage this? We also had the same problem in one of our contracts and what we did was that we copied the contracts from the legacy with the full value. That is suppose SAP went live on 1st April, 2009 and the contract was created on 1st January 2009 for a value of suppose 100 USD, with the first billing being done on 1st Jan for 33.33 USD for 4 months. We first created the contract with a validity from 1st Jan 2009 in the new system. We billed it with a billing type that we created that did not actually create new accounting entries as the accounting entries had already been created in the legacy system. In the new system then we recognised the revenue till the go live, so that the actual value remaining of the contract reduced. Then we started the billing plan of the contract from 1st of April 2009 for the remaining amount. So next invoice was created on 1st april for 33.33 USD. Can you share your solution.

Hi Nagendra Prasad,
Please find good stuff on Billing Plans Below:
1. Resource Related Billing
Configuration at Broad level will be as under:
1. Configuration of Project System to create Projects. (PS)
2. Sales Order Type as Main Order (SD)
3. Configuration for Hours maintainance (PS)
4. Sales Order Type for Dependend Order (SD). This order should be having control as automatic. It will be taken automatically in Billing Request through DIP Profile.
5. DIP Profile (PS / SD)
6. Billing Type (SD)
7. VKOA setting for G/L account Determination (SD / FI)
2. Milestone Billing
This can be configured using Milestone Billing.
1. Create New Sales Order Type, say ZOR (Copy of OR) through T.Code: VOV8
Maintain Delivery Type as LF & Billing Type As 'F1' - Order Related / 'F2' Delivery Related.
IMG > Sales and Distribution > Sales > Sales Documents > Sales Document Header > Define Sales Documents Types
2. Assign New Sales Document Type to Sales Area, For Eg:
1000 (S.Org) / 10 (D.Channel) / 10 (Division) / ZOR (S.O Type)
IMG > Sales and Distribution > Sales > Sales Documents > Sales Document Header > Assign Sales Area to Sales Document Type
3. Create New Item Category, say ZTAN - Copy of TAN (For delivery Related) / ZTAD - Copy of TAD (For Order realted) / ZTAS - copy of TAS (For Third Party)
Maintain as under (others remaining same)
Billing Relevance: I
Billing Plan Type: 01
IMG > Sales and Distribution > Sales > Sales Documents > Sales Document Item > Define Item Category
4. Assign Item Category, for ex (assuming Usage & higher level item category as blank):
Sales Document Type | Item Category Group | Default Item Category
ZOR | NORM | ZTAN
ZOR | DEIN | ZTAD
ZOR | BANS | ZTAS
IMG > Sales and Distribution > Sales > Sales Documents > Sales Document Item > Assign Item Category
Note: In the above Billing Type '01' plays the main controller for milestone billing. In Sales order, at item level, we require to maintain the billing plan.
Follow the Sales cycle as normal sales cycle for particular Scenarios
3. Periodic Billing
This can be configured using Periodic Billing.
1. Create New Sales Order Type, say ZOR (Copy of OR) through T.Code: VOV8
Maintain Delivery Type as LF & Billing Type As 'F1' - Order Related / 'F2' Delivery Related.

Error releasing a billing document to accounting - Billing Plan error

Hello,
I recently encountered a problem with releasing a billing document to accounting. When I click the release to accounting button in VF02 I would get this message "Billing plan 0000057337 does not exist - Program error".
Here are my findings thus far, that particular number appears to have been drived from the number RPLNR, which really isnt encoded in other billing docs. Also the problem seems to arise from the calling of the function module BILLING_SCHEDULE_READ where the rplnr from VBRP(i think).
A similar problem occurs a few months ago and the person who handeled this just advised to cancel the billing doc and re-create a new one.
However, I was wondering if any of you knows the reason why this problem could have occured so it will not happen again.
Hope to hear from all of you soon. Take care and good day.

Hi Ched ,
You can store a billing plan at item level in the sales document during order processing.All the relevant settings are available under the path given below :
Under SPRO / S&D/Billing / Billing Plan .
I had a cursory look , the billing plan is what dictates the invoicing but its not compulsory. It is attached to the Order type & the sales order takes the Billing plan if there is any in the order type. Looks like there was some changes were effected in these settings between the period of the creation of the Sales order & release of the billing document. Have a look....
Do assign points if you feel this info was useful....

Pro forma invoice problems if billing plan is used

Hello experts,
i have a problem again with the billing plan.
To problem now is the pro- forma for following case:
A billing plan is used for the items in the sales order. only at the end when the delivery gets prepared at the end, the pro forma invoice will be created.
The billing relevance for the item category is 'I' - with the billing plan type (a partial billing with % used).
For the proforma the entire value should appear on the Pro forma finally when the manufactured modul passes the customs.
I am struggling with the correct copy control settings.
The already billed values do not appear on the PRO Forma - for the 'real bills' it is ok.While creating the pro forma the related message appears in the log.
Which settings in copy control for the copy control (sales order --> billing type (pro forma) do I need to use if I need to have the entire sales order item value on the pro forma bill.
all helpfull answers are highly appreciated.
Thanks a lot in advance
Kurt

Hi Kurt,
If you are using a billing plan say periodic billing plan; then i dont think you will have a delivery created against it. From the order / contract; it would be a billing document.
If you are planning to use any of the billing plans; then invoices are bound to split based on invoicing dates and the settings of billing plan.
If you are planning to pull all the parts for the purpose of customs then probably you can plant to develop a new output type that would print the details from the billing document (instead of Proforma from delivery). This new output type will be used for "N" number of billing documents against a sales order / contract in order to capture all the part numbers in it. So if you have 3 parts in the order and 6 invoices, then the new output would get triggered 6 times and you will end up with 6 prints.
Making changes to incorpoate billing plan related copy control settings would turn your development / configuration more complex.
I hope i understood your question correctly.
Hope this helps;
Regards,
Syed Nasir

Switched to shared plan-bill on old account sent to collection agency without notice!

On 9/16/12, my husband and I visited a Verizon store to upgrade our phones and enroll in a 2-year renewal contract, as we have done for years. While speaking with an in-store representative, we were encouraged to combine our plans into a family shared plan. We took the necessary steps to do this and my husband moved his account to combine with mine. From this point onward, we paid one bill together. We assumed my husband’s account was correctly closed and never heard anything else about it from Verizon. We were therefore unpleasantly surprised to receive a letter from a collection company demanding that he pay a $135.63 charge from his old account that we previously knew nothing about.
I have been a loyal customer since 2003 and have never missed or even been late on a payment throughout this time. To find out that there is a delinquent account sent to a collection agency which will affect my family’s credit is very disconcerting. Further, to read stories from former Verizon customers saying that they too had received letters from collection agencies regarding unpaid bills that Verizon never alerted them about leaves me wondering whether the procedures for closing an account are being properly conducted. In our case, the situation is even more frustrating since we are not former customers that Verizon had trouble contacting regarding outstanding charges. We are current customers who would have been happy to make a payment had we been aware of it in writing. A simple search would have shown that my husband’s phone number is still valid and is now part of my account in our shared plan. We would have expected to have either received a bill addressed to him regarding a final bill that was owed on his old account (he used auto-pay while that account was active) or to have had the final charge moved to my current account, since I am now the primary account holder with both of our phone numbers under one plan. It would seem surprising to send a bill to a collection agency when dealing with someone who is a current customer.
There is no issue with making a payment directly to Verizon as long as our credit is not affected. We have written a letter to Verizon but have not received any response from them in a month and a half. Has anyone else successfully dealt with a similar issue?
Thank you.

He didn't receive a hard copy because he had paperless billing set up (as well as auto pay). We checked his email for any billing statements sent and there were none after the account was closed. As SydneyK mentioned, since he only had paperless billing, after the account was closed there was no way to access it online and see that there was an outstanding balance. In fact, the Verizon representative stated that his account would be "moved over" to mine, which to me implied that everything, including a balance, would be "moved" to the shared plan. We finally figured out what the outstanding balance was for - for the new phone he upgraded to when we went to the store to upgrade our phones and switch to the family plan. They had charged his account for the phone, rather than my account/the shared account. Ugh.

Periodic Billing Plan in Contract

Hi
I am trying to configure periodic billing plan in service contract scenario but when I assign it to Sales Doc. and item category, and create contract, the value in contract overview screen ( Net Document Value) does not match with Net header value . when I remove Billing plan then they match.Billing is to be done quarterly in this scenario.Please guide.

Hi,
for Contract end rule 10
In T.Code: OVBZ
maintain baseline date as 01= Todays date
time period as 1
time unit as 4= year.
Alternately maintain Contract Validity period as 1 year and check. It looks the contract end and validity are not uniform.
Hope this will help.

Rental Contract with Periodic Billing Plan

Hello,
I need to have a rental contract created, But the payment is one shot.
For example, if the customer rents a cylinder for a contract period of 1 year, he pays the contract payment for 1 year in one single shot. So, i need to have the periodic billing plan tweaked to take the payment and have just one billing doc and invoice created with 1 whole payment.
Can this be done?
Also, i want the revenue recognition to be activated to have this whole 1 year's payment split and posted on a monthly basis to finance.
Can someone help me with this?
Also, how can this be changed , reverted in case of contract cancellation in the middle or addition of material on the same existing contract. Please let know.

Hi..On top of this i have 2 requirements... 1. One year contracts with one shot payment 2. 3year contracts with 1 shot payment. Can they be done as a single transaction, as in the rental contract profile we define the time period.Or they can be only done as 2 different transactions with 2 separate contract profiles?

Bought a tablet on device installment plan, can no longer bill equipment to account

I recently purchased an iPad mini and bought it on the device installment plan. Then found out that I can no longer bill equipment purchases to my account. I have a spotless payment history. I was planning on buying the iPhone 5 this week and billing it to the account so I could pay for it in January on the December bill (which would be due Jan 17 as my billing cycle closes on the 22nd). I billed an OtterBox (which I got for my iPhone 5, which I am keeping) and I billed an upgraded MiFi device (which I cancelled the online order and VZW put in a ticket to FedEx to have the shipment intercepted and returned to VZW). According to the tracking, VZW received the shipment on Nov 23rd) but VZW says that it has not been scanned in yet as of Nov 27th. I am trying to dispute the charge but have been told that it would be credited when it is scanned in. I don't know what barcode is scanned but FedEX assigned a new tracking number to return the shipment and VZW says that is unusual so I am hoping that they are not relying on the tracking barcode.
I am wondering if the device installment plan disqualifies a customer for billing equipment purchases to the account.

Iowacowboy, thanks for posting. An account cannot exceed $1000 combined bill to account and Device Installment Plan balance. (Bill to account maximum is $400 per account, per month for consumer lines). I hope this helps.^SP

Regarding Periodic Billing Plan in Rental Contract

Hi all,
Scenario.:
My client having a scenario, rental contract for the period of one year and billed periodically every month.Rent is fixed based on no of hours.(e.g. 200 Rs per hour)
But the total rent to billed for the month is changed every month because no of machine working hours are changing every month.How do i capture this scenario?By using periodic billing plan we can bill same amount of rent every month during contract validity period.Here we can't change no of hours every month.
Please give some idea.
Regards,
Kartheek.

Dear Kookie,
Initially i created rental contract with the service unit as no of hours and in the quantity field i have entered the total number of hours for the month.By this way i can able to only bill for the same quantity every month.But this is not working incase of machine hours changes every month.So am not able map this.
Please suggest the way to confirm the actual machine no of hours and billing the same periodically.
Thanks & Regards,
Kartheek.
