Billing Service Contracts per order instead of a billing plan

Is it possible, with standard config, to disconnect the billing plan from a service contract and bill the service order itself with a fixed labor charge.
Where the fixed labor charge amount comes from the contract.
In other words, we want to bill service contract orders by billing a fixed labor charge on the orders instead of billing the fixed amount on a billing plan.
We need to bill like this to make sure the service is complete prior to billing the contract. Since the billing plan is independant of the service order being complete, we found that we were billing the billing plan when the service order never completed. So we're looking for a way to sell a service contract that schedules service orders, but bills the labor as a fixed "contracted" amount on the service order.

Hi Paul,
I hope in service contract you have material which has the billing plan.
Don't enter this material in service contract.Create the other material which helps to create the service order (i.e service order only created with reference to this material.)In service order you create the material for fixed price.
I hope you know how to control the billing plan.
Thanks,

Changing Billing Schedule Level for OM originated Service Contracts

Hi,
When we create a Service Contract from Order Management, the Billing Schedule Level is always set to Top Level and only one Billing Stream gets created.
Can we get the Billing Schedule Level changed to other Levels viz., Equal Amount or Covered Level using any setups.
Has anyone did any customization/extension to be able to change the Billing Schedule Level.
The basic requirement is to have multiple billing streams for the contract, created from Order Management.
Gurus, any ideas/suggestions to get this accomodated.

Sid,
I don't think you are on the right track (in my opinion). You are right that we can only create service contract from the order management (service or Extended Warranty Lines).
If I understood correctly, you sell electronic subscriptions (like my internet service I have at home) and you are looking for way to take it from the order management so that you can bill it from Contracts and not from OM. As this is electronic service, looks like you do not have fulfill any tangible product (like magazines) from contracts. Hence you do not care about the schedule for the contract shipments. Is that correct?
As this is not something Oracle offers (I did not find anyway), you may want to consider extending OM workflow or a batch program to create a subscription contract once the order line is fulfilled (not the program where we create service contract). This way you have flexibility to create the contract the way you want it.
But you can always create a service contract covering a subscription item as covered product. Like I have internet service as subscription but they cover me for any incidental visits of technicians for this subscription charging me some amount every month.

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.

Sales order from Service Contract?

Dear SD Guru,
Can I created Sales Order from Service Contract? I would like to create a sales order from service contract (MV) and I need to generate billing from the sales order. MV-> OR-> F2. No Resource Related Billing involved.
Thanks,

Hi,
I think this can be achieved, if you do copy control from order to order in VTAA.

How to link Sales Order with Service Contract and then with Install Base?

Hi Friends,
1) I would like to know the integeration process from sales order to Service Contract and then with Install Base.
2) I couldn't see anything enabled in Service Tab in Order Lines, its grayed out. Is there any set up/profile option to get it enabled?
3) How can we create AR invoice from Service Contract?
Please let me know if anyone has idea on this.
Thanks in Adavance,
Vara

Dear Sid,
Thanks for your promt response.
Let me explain you what I did.
1) I have booked a Bill Only sales order which has one order line, mentioned it as Service Item and provided the same details in Service Tab in Order lines. Now Line status is "Fulfilled"
2) Then Submitted Workflow Back Ground Process for OM Order Lines and it has created an AR Invoice and closed the line
3) And then submitted "Service Contracts Order Capture Integration Program" from SErvice Contracts Responsibility and it completed normal.
4) Now I went in to Launch Contracts Window and queried with the sales order but couldn't see any contract created
5) Then I went in to Reprocess Order Window and found this order shows an error message as "Referenced Product not present in the Installed Base", then I tried to reprocessed it, but the same error message again.
Here I have few doubts:
1) Are the AR invoice and Service Contract Billing Invoices same?
2) In above scenario AR Invoice has been created, I would like to do the billing from SErvice Contracts and need to create an Invoice in AR? how can I do that?
because as you explained in one of my questions earlier, A Single Invoice can be created for the whole duration of the contract. I want to do that and trying for the same.
3) Regarding the above error message, how can I resolve it and create the service contract against that Order?
Thank you so much for your helpful answers.

Service Contracts Billing Schedule Creation Error

Hi,
I have a requirement of creating service contracts from back-end for which I am using the oks_contracts_pub.create_contract_header, create_service_line, and create_bill_schedule. I am creating my contracts with active status and renewal type of EVN (Header level), FUL(Line Level). My contract is of type subscription. The contract header and line are creating fine but the Bill schedule API is throwing an UNEXPECTED ERROR. The billing schedules need to be created based on accounting rule which can be quarterly or monthly. I have included the bill schedule code (hard coded values) for review. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Also the version I am working on is R12

Followup service contract to sales order

Hi experts,
Can I create a Sales Order from Service contract, If Yes can I get products in Sales Order.Actully I am getting the products in sales order product Tab,but I am not getting that information in General tab.
I want to get the data in general tab.
Is it mandatory to match the Org details in Service contrcat with sales contract when we are creating the followup activity because we know that there is no service orgunit in sales order.
please send your solution to this mail id: nelakurtir @techmahindra.com
thnaks
Madhu

First you need to get the order header right before assigning products: Since you are copying from a service scenario transaction into a sales scenario tx you need to be aware that service and sales transactions refer to different views of the organisation model. It is not possible to reuse the service org determined in a sales order; instead you have to re-determine the organisation details (in the copying control). This way you would get the correct organisation details for sales. The same applies on item level; after doing these settings the copying should look better.

Service Contract to Sales Order?

Dear SAP Guru,
Can I create Sales Order from Service Contract and bill the order without going thru Resource Related Billing? MV -> OR -> F2?
Or, straight from MV to FV?
What is the correct process flow?
Thanks,
Soo

Yes. you can very well refer a service contract to a sales order and bill the same. But, see that your sales order items are relevant for billing (in case you have service products as contract items).
Resource related billing should be used when you are billing your customer w.r.t a service order.
There isn't a fixed process flow. Have this thumb rule:
1. When you have fixed price for type of repair you have agreed in contract, then there is no use of doing resource related billing, if the same kind of repair is being performed.
2. In case your customer pays you on time & material basis, go through the RRB route to bill.
Hi Ananth,
Thanks for your reply.
For my scenario, it is based on time & material for a rental material. The sales order is created based on the number of days used by the customer for a rental material and billing is generated.
So, if RRB is used, that will mean a DIP profile has to be set up.
Question:
If RRB is used, what will be the process flow? From CS module, a service order is created from the sales contract and in the DIP profile, there is a default order type which is "LV" and DMR will be generated and eventually, a debit memo is created.
What about sales order? Any DMR being generated? Or what is the flow?
Thanks,
Soo

Service Contract Billing

Hi,
I am trying to bill a service contract with periodic billing plan. but when it is executing it is showing all the dates based on the period(monthly). But after saving it, its showing me only last date. I am not getting whats wrong?? I want to bill only for a particular period not for all. plz guide me .
Thanks
Ipsit

Hi ,
As per my Knowledge you need to configure your fiscal year in your system then after creation your billing it will calculate into period.
For example : if you set up your project November month then onwards after completion of project it will calculate period to the back . if your project has completed in june your peariod would 08 .
if you give me brief i can help you out more.
if helpful REWARD points
Thank you .

Service prod in service contract and service order thro RRB!

Hi,
I have service contract with service product say Rep_service with 1 Hr rate as 100 USD in place for a particular equipment with serial number.
I have received a complaint now I am raising a service order SM01 service order with contract
I have maintained the same equipment number in the Service order as in service contract
and selected the service contract too.
i have operations and material consumption for service order.
When I run DP90 RRB the material determined is Service (different service product) based on my DIP profile, (should I maintain the same service product in DIP profile as in service contract or any other service prod can be maintained). What happens to this billing document generated from DP90?
And my service order settles to service contract.
I think when service contract is in place then to generate billing I will use only service contract as reference.
Please suggest me how to go about it.
Kindly if possible give me some link to documents.
Regards,
N.Nagaraju

Hi Nagaraju,
First of all, you can bill Service Contract and Service Order differently. This is because you may wish to charge contract fees irrespective of whether service occurs or not.
Secondly, while maintaining DIP profile, you can use different material from the one used in contract. Just make sure that it gives explanation as to what service was performed so that customer will understand the invoice.
DP90 will generate Debit memo request. You will need to create billing document against this using VF01.
When you settle the service order (KO88), it will be settled against service contract.
Please let me know if you need any further information.
Regards,
Aaditya.

Hiya...
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

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

Resuls Analysis for Service Contracts - Revenue in Excess of Billing.

Dear Experts,
We are running RA for Service Contracts.
COntract period is 01/11/2010 to 30/10/2011.   Montlhy Value is 1000, Yearly value 12000
1) The Billing Plan is Quarterly Billing (deferred).If we Run RA in KKA3. Planned revenue showing is 12000 / 4 quarters = 3000 .
                             If we Run RA in KKA3 , the planned revenue shown is 3000 instead of 12000.
2)                          We have incurred some cost for the month of November 2010.   If we RUN RA on KKA3 for the month of november 2010 , we should get 1000 as Actual Revenue and 2000 Should be shown in Revenue in Excess of Billing(REB). But it is not showing as Revenue in Excess of Billing.
Please help.
Regards,
Shareeq
