Changing Billing Schedule Level for Service Contracts created in OM

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.

How to create Subscription Schedule for a Contract created from Sales Order

Hi Gurus,
Need help in creating subscription contracts from Sales Orders.
We know that Service Contract is created from Sales Orders by adding covered item and service item as two lines in a Sales Order.
1. Does anyone know how to a create Subcription Contract by adding single item or BOM item(Model) to a Sales Order?
2. Can we have a BOM item created as Subcription item and reference this to the Service Item in the Sales Order, so that we get the Service Contract created with the BOM item as Covered line.
3. Whenever we create the Service Contracts from Sales Orders, the Billing Schedule Level is set to 'Top Level'. Can we get this changed to 'Equal Amount' by using any profile options.
Please advise as we are in a critial design phase and need to make a decision quickly.
Thanks,
Sid

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
schedule lines of the item. Each schedule item can be assigned to a network in a project.
To display the project-related data for a schedule line, proceed as follows:
In one of the overview screens of the sales document, select
1. Item -> Schedule lines.
2. Mark the schedule line and select Procurement details.
The following figure shows an example of milestone billing where only the Contract have
been billed :
Order Item Turbine    100,000
Billing Plan
Billing date Description    % Value Billing Block   Milestone   Billing Status
01-10-94     Contract      10 10,000      -             x           x
01-03-95     Assembly      30 30,000      x             x
01-04-95     Maintenance   30 30,000      x             x
01-05-95     Acceptance    30 30,000      x             x
01-06-95     Final invoice ..    ..        x
Network/Activities
Milestone    Estimate      Actual
Assembly     01-03-95      01-03-95
Maintenance 01-04-95
Acceptance   01-05-95
For each billing date in a milestone billing plan, you can specify whether the billing
date is:
1. fixed
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
Keep Sapping

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.

BOM IN CRM Only for Service Contract

Hello
We want have a BOM explosion working in CRM for service contracts
Here are the details :
We have replicated the materials from ECC to CRM. We are not maintaining any BOMu2019s in ECC.
The idea is that we maintain the BOM Structure in CRM only, as we donu2019t want to have the Items as a billable item in a position, only for information purposes (or later on for metering)
We have maintained the product category for the header product in CRM so we are able to maintain depended components
(Relationship type SCDEC S Dependent Components (DC) )
Not we are able to assign dependent component to the header material
Item category groups:
We understand that the standard item category groups that should be used are ERLA for the header product and LUMF for the Item product.
In order to support the same functionality for the given item category group , maintained at the product level in ECC we copied the same setting for the item category group from the standard to
our settings.
Standart
Tx type     Item Cat Group          item category     structure scope
TA             ERLA                TAQ           A single level Explosion of Structured Product
TA         LUMF                TAP                   A single level Explosion of Structured Product
So we have copied TAQ to ZTAQ and TAP to ZTAP.
ZS01 is a copy of SC (service contract)
Tx type     Item Cat Group          item category     structure scope
ZS01     ZLEI                       ZTAQ          A single level Explosion of Structured Product
ZS01     LEIS                       ZTAP          A single level Explosion of Structured Product
But when we use a header product in the service contract, we cannot see the BOM is exploding.
We have also created some products in CRM with exactly the same Item Category groups as the standard and when we create a standard order (TA) in CRM, the BOM is NOT exploding.
Questions:
Is it possible to have the BOM setup only in CRM, like we try to do it?
Is it possible to use our own item category groups in CRM more is the functionality only working with ERLA and LUMF?
Is it possible to use the BOM Explosion in Service contracts as well ?
What steps are we missing to get the BOM explosion in CRM ?
Thank you for your help

Thanks Nablan, I could do that for multiple header coming in file. But I have a question for you on BAdI ALM_ME_006_GOODSMVT. I have implemented this BAdI , and this BAdI is called by a function Module ALM_MEREP_006_CREATE. When I test this FM giving the Material , Orderid and Movement type entries, this BAdI is triggered when giving a breakpoint. I've given this code for changing the movement type to 961. Cause the stanadrd scenario does not maintain Movement type 961 in Mobile Asset Management. The Movement type 961 for unplanned Materials comes to SAP and changes to 261 as maiantained by TCOKO table. To bypass this & retain the movement type 961 in SAP I'm using this BAdI. Currently this is what I'm doing and am stuck in the method interface how do I call the method.
method IF_EX_ALM_ME_006_GOODSMVT~CREATE .
break-point.
*DATA : i_ce_goodsmovement TYPE REFERENCE
          ALM_ME_CUSTOMER_ENHANCEMENT.

DATA : ls_user_data TYPE ALM_ME_USER_DATA-USERID.
*DATA : goods_movement TYPE ALM_ME_MATERIAL_MOVEMENT.
CALL METHOD lr_badi_goods_movement->create
EXPORTING
       ce_goodsmovement = ce_goodsmovement
IMPORTING
       user_data        = ls_user_data
       custom_user_data = ls_ce_user_data
       goods_movement   = goods_movement
changing
       return           = return[].
CALL FUNCTION 'ALM_ME_COMMIT_OR_ROLLBACK'
       TABLES
            return = return.
endmethod.
Please help me to get the data in this method. How do I call this.

Automatic invoice generation for service contract

Hello,
I want to create the automatic invoicce generation for service contract based on the order.
whenever i raise service contract order system should create the invoice automatically.
could please let me know the settings?

Hi JP Reddy
You can schedule VF04/VF06 for your requirement, such that VF06 will run every 15/30 minutes and will generate billing document for your contracts automatically.
Else go for Z extension development which will assign as output type to your contract and once triggered it will create invoice.
try and revert

Manual Billing is missing for service period 06/19/2009 u2013 7/21/2009

HI
Can anybody help me to fix the below issue?
Issue: The Manual Billing is missing for service period 06/19/2009 u2013 7/21/2009 for contract 9018967003.
After completing the Billing and invoicing using EASIBI t-code and looking at the refreshed ES32, i found that Manula billing is missing for service period 06/19/2009 to 07/21/2009.
thx
DGR

Hi,
It seems you have processed normal billing and invoicing process.
If the individual invoicing process is successful, the invoicing document should get created and posted unless outsorted.
In your case, if the invoicing document is outsorted, you would be able to see the billing document. (in refreshed ES32 view as mentioned) .
For the billing document, you can check the invoicing document as well, when you display the billing document ... check the print document tab on the same.
If the invoicing document is visible and is not posted, it would be out sorted. Either check the EMMA tcode processing for the same as it seems, an EMMA case might have generated as you are unable to view the same in EA05.
Hope this helps!!

How can we change the valuation type for a material created.
Note : All open orders are closed for this material.3
Please guide

Hi,
You can change valuation class, or you can set valuation category for your material master. If valuation category is set you can extend your material master and in this way creating records for different valuation types.
Please try to set the desired changes in your mmr (MM02) > save > SAP will give you error message > push 'Display error' button and you will see what conditions must be eliminated to carry out the change.
- you are not allowed to have open transactional data
- no stock in the current and previous period (using proper posting date in MB1A + 201 you can reduce your stock level to 0, and after that you can set it back by MB1A + 202)
- in case of valuation category setting batch archiving may be necessary
