Billing simulation error

Hello Experts,
While doing billing simulation (T.code EA00) ,I am getting error.
Error:- An internal error has occurred in form modify_iger_from_idevnum in function module isu_installation_struc_analyze. This is probably a programming error which you cannot resolve.
In installation there is change in device .The old device has meter reading(MR) with MR reason 22 and new device has MR reason 21 and MR took on different dates.
I couldn't see functional solution for this error.Is debugging is only option for this error?
Please help me out.
Thanks in advance.

Hello, a hint...this error is usualy cased by data base inconsistency in the table EASTL.
You may have to make manual changes here.......?
I hope this helps.

What are the possible reasons for bill simulation fail on one day or

one period? Thanks.
ie:
Bill sim process flag is X in table ZET_SM_BIL_DAILY on a particular day or a particular short period.

Hi,
There are many reason for faliur of bill simulation, can you please eloborate what error message you are getting.

Billing simulation

Hi all,
my company reviews the contracts with the customer in the mddle of the year. Once discount policy has been agreed, we change involved pricing conditions.
At that point, we need to analize all past billings and make a new billing or a credit note to our customers for the difference.
So it would be good to me to simulate the pricing of the past bilings.
I tried with SD_SALESORDER_CREATE in simulation mode. It works good but obviously it returns the order pricing, and I'm not sure at all that nothing will change in billing.
So I'm asking:
1) Is there a similar function module that simulates billing?
2) Is there any object I can use to simulate the invoice pricing, or to simulate how the billing pricing would be if I would apply the new pricing scheme?
Thanks in advance

Creating additional time slices while Budget Billing Simulation - EBIA0002

Hi All,
I am trying to implement a solution to create more timeslices in my billing document when doing the simulation for BB Plan.
My BB Plan spans over a year period and basically I want to divide the whole period into 4 parts creating 4 timeslices.
I was thinking to implement this in user exit EBIA0002 - FM EXIT_SAPLEA00_001
However not sure for which variant should I pass the new timeslices. Has anyone implemented this before??
Thanks and your help is much appreciated.
Regards
Jignesh
Any one any ideas???

CM38 considering orders of operative planning on the simulative scenario

Dear friends,
I'm trying to use the T-code CM38 to analise the capacity load of one LTP planning, but this transaction is taking into account some production orders of the operative planning.
I already checked in T-code MS32 to be sure that my planning scenario is not considering the "receipts", and all those options is not flagged.
I'm using the profile SAPPLAN01 or YBLTP01 to analise the capacity on CM38.
How can I see only the capacity load of simulation orders (my LTP scenario orders) in this transaction? Is it possible?
Thanks in advance,
Rodrigo

Dear Rodrigo,
In CM38,under detailed settings check whether this planning scenario is mentioned before entering into the capacity details.
Also refer this thread,

Check and revert

Intercompany Billing - the scenario

Hi Gurus,
What are the different situations and scenarios which lead to intercompany billing in real time...
1. does shortage of a particular product - which incidentally also exists in supplying plant of another company code; -- lead to this scenario?
or
2. can a complete absence of a particular product can lead to this scenario of getting a particular product from another company which is not produced by ordering company?
please explain to me as I want to understand the logic behind extending the material of the supplying company to the ordering company, to show as if the material also exists in ordering company code...
Thanks in Advance,
Nazim.

Dear Nazim,
Scenerios, for Inter-Company Billing:
is it like the company had a similar material and the material is out of stock
and
is it that intercompany....is done when the material wanted by the customer does not exist in our company at all?
Definitely, YES.
Company A is selling own goods, but also goods from other companies. These materials are stored in plants linked to other company codes.
So an order can contain both materials belonging to company A as materials belonging to company B, reside in one logical system in the same client.
Normal sales works fine, because after the invoice is created, the system also creates an Intercompany Invoice (IV).
Best Regards,
Amit
Note: When dealing with different company codes, one may find a need to transfer stock between two different company codes. In case the stock is transferred between different company codes, a transfer of value occurs and is an intercompany sale (customer belongs to one company, stock in the plant to another).
Intercompany Transactions between two different SAP systems
Setup Idocs (you might use XI or other middleware) to handle the communication to load the IC transactions to the other system and vice-versa.

Budget Bill plan Simulation.

Hi All,
I have to develop a program for Budget bill simulation (Tcode : EASIM & EA61EX). Here i need to simulate the BBP & find out the BBP amount.
The FM which i am using for EA61EX are:
ISU_O_BUDBILPLAN_EX_OPEN
ISU_BBP_CHANGEAMOUNT_METERREAD
ISU_BBP_EXTRAPOLATE.
But i am not getting the new BBp amount.
Has anybody worked on this before & could you provide the approach to go about it.
Helpful answers will be rewarded.
Thanks
Kapil

Closing as no solution/suggestions received for a long time.

Do the Simulated Billing & Invoicing docs also undergo the Outsorting?

Hi Experts,
I knew that there are 2 simulation types
1) Simulation (w/o Billing order it can be excecuted)
2) Billing Simulation (with Billing order)
While doing running above 2 simulations types, Do the Simulated Billing & Invocing docs also undergo the standart Outsorting process?Please confirm.
Also please provide the inputs or document about are Baseline configuration required for ISU Billing module.
Thanks

Simulation is a process for testing the functionality of the system, this help in finding the bug befor actual billing run.
This will perform all the functionality which actual bill does hence it wiil perform outsort.
Let me know if you need any more information.

Third Party Billing Plan Invoice problem

I have an issue in regards to using milestone billing with a third party order..
We currently use third party ordering to ship goods direct to our customers from our parent company in France. This process works well. I know have a scenario where our customer wishes to pay for goods in 2 installments . When they place their 3rd Party order they pay 50% of the total price up front then pay the remaining 50% plus an additional fee of 5% after 12 months. I have configured a new milestone billing plan for this scenario but I am unable to raise a billing document for the customer.
In the non billing plan scenario the document flow works as follows
Customer sales order raised - Automatic Purch Req - Purch order raised against parent company - Parent company ship to customer and bill us - vendor ivoice loaded against PO (MIRO) - Customer is billed via original sales order
The Billing plan scenario should work like this (but doesn't)
Customer sales order raised - Automatic Purch Req - Purch order raised against parent company - Customer Billed initial 50% - Parent company ship to customer and bill us - vendor ivoice loaded against PO (MIRO) - 12 months later Customer is billed via original sales order.
The issue I have is that the system cannot see an open billing quantity for the order even after the Vendor invoice has been loaded into the system against the purchase order.
Has anyone else had issues with this scenario and if so could they offer some advice on how to resolve
Many Thanks

Hi Mark,
This is expected in standard scenario.
In third party scenario, the billing relevance is either E or F in the item category.
If A, you can do invoice only for the quantity for which MIGO is done.
If F, you can do invoice only for teh quantity for which MIRO is done.
Your non-biling plan scenario is working fine, becos you are doing MIRO.
It is not workign in billing plan as you are not doing MIRO here.
So,
If you want to do partial billign in billign plan, you have to do MIRO for partial quantity and then do billing. In this case, only that part of teh invoice value will be used for creating the invoice.
However, I would suggest you to use someother item category for third party item with billing plan which doesnot have billign relevance as A or F, but has B or C. Then try doing billign as per billing plan. It will work.

Balance Forward Bills and Aging

Does anyone know if there is a way to stop AR from aging a transaction that has not yet been billed when using Balance Forward Billing?
Scenario
Customer purchases something on Nov 20. Order immediately flows from OM to AR, invoice transaction is created in AR, and revenue is recognized immediately. However, this customer is on a monthly billing cycle and will therefore not be billed using Balance Forward Billing until December 5th. The due date is bill date plus 15 days; therefore due date is Dec 20.
As far as I know, Oracle will age this invoice transaction as of Nov 20. It will of course show up in the "Current" bucket on the aging report until the due date (Dec 20), however it really shouldn't be aged at all considering the customer hasn't been billed.
Am I missing something here? Anyone know a way around this?
Thanks.

Hi Carl,
Thanks for your reply. Actually the thread you refering was almost similiar to my problem. In fact, mine problem was not able to bring down the Balance Forward amount in the grouping level.
Let me give you some example. I have 5 fields in my report which are:
Date - Field from database
User - Filed From database
Balance Forward (BF) - Calculation in formula (Previous date CF display as next date BF)
Current Amount (CA)- Field from database
Carry Forward (CF) - Calculation in formula (BF+CA=CF)
When drag out those fields from database into the CR without perform any group, it will shows something as below in the details section.
Date User BF CA CF
1/1   A      0 50 50
1/1   B      0 100 100
2/1   A      50 50 100
2/1   B      100 50 150
When i perform a group on date, it should shows in the design layout as below:
Date BF CA CF
1/1   0 150 150
2/1   150 100 250
On date 1/1, my BF will be 0 for the first day and CF will be 150 with the formula calculation as SUM(BF+CF). For date 2/1, i will required to carry down this 150 (previous date 1/1 CF) down to the date 2/1 BF and following by the next date 3/1.
I try to use the previous(group.fields) in the formula, but it will shows me "No any previous or next value to be retrieve". In fact, i could use the previous(table.fields) function and place on the details section.
Appreciated you could advise how to retrieve my SUM(CF) value and display on the next grouping date section in Crystal Report.
Thanks.

Simulation document number ranges

Hii,
In EASISI,if i do simulation w/o billing order at that time its pick up current number range wht i assign ,but with same tcode if I do simulation with billing order its pick up different number range,
pls hel p me on this from where its picking other number range for woth billing order in EASISI.
Edited by: Pranav Solanki on May 30, 2011 6:18 PM

Hi,
The number range selection does not depend on whether it is with a billing order or without a billing order. If you are doing a billing simulation, you always need a billing order. Only in case of budget billing creation / recalculation, SAP internally simulates the billing without a billing order.
If you are deailng with an unmetered customer, you do not need a meter reading. Only after creating MR order by tcode EL01, the billable billing order will be generated. In case of metered customer, you need a meter reading to make the billing order billable.
Now in SAP the simulation document number range for billing are maintained according to document category in the following path:
SPRO-> SAP Utilities ->Contract Billing ->Billing Execution ->Automatic Billing and Simulation-> Define Document Type Category for Simulation Documents
You assign the number range for simulated billing document in the following path:
SPRO-> SAP Utilities ->Contract Billing ->Billing Execution ->Automatic Billing and Simulation-> Define Document Types for Simulation Documents
And you assign the number range for the simulated document types in the following path:
SPRO-> SAP Utilities ->Contract Billing ->Billing Execution ->Automatic Billing and Simulation-> Define Number Ranges for Simulation Documents
Please check according to the document category which are used in your case. It might be the case that you are triggering two types of simulation billing (example: consumption and final billing) for two different customers and due to that that it is using two different number ranges.
Hope it helps.
Thanks.

Simulation and Actual difference

Dear Experts,
I am facing an error as follows:
while iam doing billing simulation i am
getting the correct previous MR date and MR reading.
(this will be printed in bill for customer understanding purpose)
but when i am doing my actaul bill
iam not getting the correct date and reading.
like follow:
in simulation: previvious Mr date : 10.4.2011 with reading 100 units
but in actul bill im getting like: previous MR date 11.04.2011 110 units.
but the actaul previous mr date is 10.4.2011 with 100units.
what iam getting in original bill is wrong.
this is only happens for onw customer.
any clue on this?
Thanks..
Cheers.

PGI Mandatory in Order Related Billing

Hello Guys,
Is PGI can be made mandatory in Order Releated Billing in Billing Plan Scenario.
If possible, please let me know the requisite customization settings.
Thank you for hte help.
Subhadra

Hi,
Goto the T.Code "VTFA".
Select your valid combination.
Double Click on "Item".
Select your item category.
Details.
Maintain the "copying requirements" as "004".
Save.
If you have some other setting like this which is not present in standard,we have to go for enhancements.
We have create a new routine/requyirement by using the T.Code "VOFM".
