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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Jignesh
Any one any ideas???

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

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.

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.

Hi Avinash,
thanks for reply, these are the actual readings.
and the simulation bill period is : 13.04.2011 to 12.06.2011
actual bill period is also same.

Bugget billing plan-billing doc creation

Hi experts,
For a resential customer that is monthy charged for 50$(BBP) a billing doc. is created with different billing lines.
The tarrif contains differents components: Fixed amount, distirbution cost, transaport cost, energy cost, rental cost, etc..
I see in the billing lines that the 50$ is split between those differents components.
How SAP billing engine breaks this amount into differents small amounts corresponding to those components ?
Can anyone explain how I can debug this when creating the BBP with t-code EA61, in order to follow the creation process ?
Thank in advance,
Tierno

Hi,
Here is the Documentation on BBP amount, it may be somewhat helpful too.
The basis for amounts is extrapolation - billing simulation. Try setting breakpoint in Function Module ISU_BUDGET_BILLING_EXTRAPOLATE - it returns the simulated billing document per contract. That should give an initial breakdown of amounts, which then gets distributed over open due dates and rounded. Look into ISU_BBP_EABPS_CREATE - it turns the billing document lines into "internal BBP positions". The entry point to the whole BBP Create, Change, Display Logic is ISU_O_BUDBILPLAN_OPEN.
Have fun and good luck - the logic is much more complex and *err, how shall I put it..?* convoluted than simple sounding 1) simulate bill, 2) split the result and 3) round it
cheers,
Janis

Vf04 simulation mode

Hello ,
We use Vf04 for SD billing process.
There is simulation mode in this program. It process lots of documents but the report screen isn't useful.
We aren't be able to take simulation data for example material number, quantity and value to any excel document.
How can I do this?
And do know any billing simulation report , function or program?
regards i

My Friend,
VF04 do have a simulation mode but it will simulate the exact situation when you execute it in fore/back-ground.. it will show the same results as if they {billing documents} are created.. ok.. now, how can you take the data from billing documents in excel??? is it possible ??? no way..
If you want to save the whole VF04 list in excel, yes then it is possible.. go to list>save>file and you will get 4-5 options... excel is one of them.. I guess this is what you are asking for.. right ?
Do let me know.
