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.

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.

Is it necessary to create a Billing Plan for the Service Contracts

Hi All,
Is it necessary to create a billing plan for the service contracts.
My requirement.
In CRM 7.0, we created a service contract. For the item in that service contract there is a Billing Plan tab.
In that tab we have the dates for Period, Billing Date etc.
Now our requirement is to get the Billing Date quarterly. For this we created date rules and date profiles and assigned these date profiles to header and item level transactions.
And we are able to see the date rules under the drop down of the billing date.
I copied the standard date rule BILL004 to ZBILL004.
But when we changed to our date rule it is not changing to quarterly date.
Can you please let me know what are the configurations to be done for this.
Is the billing plan has to be created for this kind of scenario.
Thanks in advance
Thanks and Regards,
Raghu

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.

Regarding billing plans

Hi friends... please ssuggest me the configuration steps of periodic billing and mile stone billing... please send me if possible the configuation steps to my mail id [email protected]

Hi Durga Prasad,
Periodic Billing
Periodic billing means billing a total amount for each individual billing date in the plan. For example, if you are creating a rental contract, the system can propose a schedule of monthly rental payments, according to the length and conditions of the contract.
Milestone Billing
Milestone billing means distributing the total amount to be billed over multiple billing dates in the billing plan. For example, you can use a billing plan for billing a make-to-order item that is assigned to a project in the SAP Project System. When you enter the project-related make-to-order item in the sales order (or assembly order), the system proposes a billing plan based on milestones defined for networks in the project. As each milestone is successfully reached, the customer is billed either a percentage of the entire project cost or simply a pre-defined amount.
1) Periodic Billing
Periodic billing can be used, for example, in rental contracts. The billing dates in a periodic billing plan can be determined from the following sources:
=> Control data in the billing plan
=> Header data in the rental contract
=> Manually entered dates
The following dates are important for billing date determination:
=> Start and end dates
=> Period (monthly, quarterly, annually)
=> Horizon
Start and end dates
Start and end dates define the duration of the billing plan and, whenever possible, are copied from the start and end dates of the corresponding rental contract. Depending on the configuration of your system, these dates may be indirectly determined by the system. For example, the contract start date may be determined automatically as soon as the installation date is entered.
Period (monthly, quarterly, annually)
The periodicity of the billing dates determines the frequency with which the billing dates are created in the billing plan and, in addition, whether a billing date is processed for billing on the first or last day of the month.
Horizon
In case no end date is entered, or the end date lies so far in the future that not all billing dates can established, then a rule for determining the horizon can be entered. The horizon for periodic billing determines the last date of the billing plan.
The horizon is always determined by a rule that uses the current date as a baseline. If the current date is updated during processing, the system automatically extends the horizon and the schedule of billing dates into the future.
2) Milestone Billing
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.
For each billing date in a milestone billing plan, you can specify whether the billing date is:
=> fixed
=> always updated with the actual date of the milestone
=> updated with the actual date of the milestone, if the date is earlier than the planned billing date for the date
=> updated with the actual date of the milestone, if the date is earlier than the planned billing date for the date
As of Release 3.0C it is also possible to assign milestones to the dates of the billing plan during milestone billing if no network plan has been opened.
In order to do this you must assign the milestone manually in billing plan maintenance. For you to be able to make this assignment, the Fixed date field of the proposed date category of the billing plan type must not be blank. The additional fixed value (as of Release 3.0C) of Fixed date means that you cannot assign it to a milestone. Milestone assignment is possible for all other values. You make these settings in the Implementation Guide.
For configuration please find the below path:
IMG --> Sales and Distribution --> Billing --> Billing Plans

Issue in PS Cash Management Planned payment coming from SD billing plan

Issue in PS Cash Management:
Coming from my sales order (SD billing plan), I get cash management lines item in PS ==> table COFP (Document Lines (project cash management)) with value type 62 (Planned Payments).
Then I invoice the WBS element with VF01. During invoicing, the system creates new line items in COFP with value type 54 (Invoices).
Issue
The problem is that planned payment (value type 62) is not reduced and whatever the invoice is, planned payment are the same.
From my understanding, new lines item should have been created with negative sign in order to reduce planned payment amount. Like invoices are reduce when payment is done.
Who can you confirm?
What are your feeling?
Thanks in advance

Helo,
Regular setting for PS cash management have been done such as:
- FM area creation
- Assignment Fiscal Year variant to FM area
- Activate PS cash management
Once the setting is correctly done, we can follow incoming & outcoming payment on project.
Table COFP is then impacted.

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.

Soo

Billing plan (Downpayment) for saved and open sales orders at header level?

Hi gurus,
I have configured billing plan in my SD environment at Item Level.
I want to change it to header level.
Questions:
1- When I make the changes to update the system to have billing plan at header level for future sales orders, is that possible for me to change all my saved orders and open orders with the new settings so that I can also have those saved and open orders with a billing plan at item level?
2- If that scenario is not possible, could we for example copy the data of a previously saved or open sales order into a new sales order with the new customizing (Billing plan at Header level?)
Thanks for your input
Kind regards
Chris

Hi
I am afraid you cannot do that converstion for the existing orders. BP at header level are enabled at teh document type level, while BP at item level is done at item category. So both are independent. Mostly it is advisabel to use BP at item level only.
If you are already using item level BP, and want to mvoe to header BP, then only future transactions can be executed with BP at header level. Existing item level BPlans will remain so in the system.

Billing plan as per delivery schedule

Hi,
Is it possible to have the billing plan dates as per the schedule lines of the items using the billing plan configuration(either via either periodic billing plan or milestone billing)
for e.g. for a line item - qty 10(value 1000), delivery schedule is as follows
10-Mar-2009 - qty to be delivered is 6
02-Apr-2009 - qty to be delivered is 4
( dates and qty would be decided as per the customer needs. No periodic differences between dates).
My expected billing plan should be as follows
10-Mar-2009 - value to be billed is 600
02-Mar-2009- value to be billed is 400
if yes, please let me know.
Thanks in Advance for your answers.
Regards,
Madhuri

Hello,
I believe the Condition Record for Rent would be based per Month. Now you cannot change this record to Daily because in that case system will bill only for 28 days in month of February.
Instead there is a way out, in the Condition Type maintenance - T-Code V/06, Under Changes which can be made, put a Tick mark in Qty Relation Check Box.
This will allow you to change the Calculation Type while creation of Sales Document. Thus for the month of January, you can change the Calculation Type to daily & leave it as it is (Monthly) for other months.
Hope this helps,
Thanks,

Excise Invoice- Based on Billing Plan

Dear All,
Here in my client's place, we have a requirement like,
For a project-XYZ we create one sales order with materials A,B & C.
For this sales order we maintain billing plan 50% = X1 Rupees ,
25% = X2 Rupees ,
and 25% = X3 Rupees.
When project is finished 50% we create billing with X1 amount with reference of sales order and then we create excise invoice based on this billing document (NO delivery) and send it with material.
And for second billing for X2 amount SAP is not allowing to create excise invoice and throws message like modvat utilization has been done already.
Kindly suggest how to proceed and how to create excise invoice for remaining two amounts.
Thanks & Regards

Hi ,
Thanks for your responce...
Is there any transaction code for removing the billing block automatically in the sales order and how can i indentify the date category as per billing plan..
Thank you very much..
Thanks in advance.

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....

Header Billing Plan - credit memo and debit memo

Folks,
I have the following scenario here.
I have a billing plan order (BP) - with header billing plan.
I have three lines in the billing plan
1) $5000 ...FAZ (Billing Request)
2) $10000...L2 (Debit Memo)
3) $3000...G2 (Credit Memo).
Once i go to VF04,
I have all three billing due. However, only billing type FAZ has the header conditions (PR00, AZWR, TAXES) populated and net value $5000. (Populated against AZWR)
Both L2 and G2 have no header conditions populated and the net value is 0.
The copy control is set up the same for all and all have same document pricing procedure (A).
Is it something basic I'm missing or is there anything else I have to do?
Or pls let me know the process for debit memo / credit memo with a billing plan.
Pls respond ASAP as we have the Proof of Concept scheduled sooner.
Helpful answers will be rewarded promptly!
Thank You,

Hello,
I think that basys of this process is not correct: the purpose of billing plan is to define different invoicing schedules, typically for businesses working with projects, and on top of that, billing plan is the only standard way to manage advance payment and automatically determine the settlement of the advance payments on final invoices.
For this, in my opinion it's not correct entering in the billing plan items with Credit Memo or Debit Memo request. You should have only andvance payment items and invoice items (document category = M).
In a common invoicing process, you can have the following steps:
- Down payment request (FAZ);
- Invoice (F1) reduced by the downpayment amount (if that is the case);
Then you can create a Credit Memo request, against the Invoice, if for some-reason you have to revert back something to the customer; or you can create a Debit Memo request if you have recharge the customer with reference to a document already invoiced. I think that invoice type G2 and D2 should not be "planned" steps in an invoicing process. On top of that, it's not advisable creating Credit Memo requests with reference to an invoice containing downpayment clearing item, as it would lead to incorrect postings into accounting.
Hope to be useful.
Best regards,
Andrea

Service Contracts with billing plan not updating debit memo request in ECC

For service contracts with billing plan, we cancel the line items and set the user status at header to "cancelled" and also set the cancellation date (under Cancellation Tab) at the header as well as item level which delete all items in the DMR in ECC (which are not yet billed). When we do this, it works perfect for most of the time and in some cases DMR items are not updated in ECC and it is billing. When I checked in CRM, the billing plan items are updated based on the cancellation date.
Experts appreciate your help on this issue.
Thanks,
George.
