Collective billing wrt billing plan

Hi Expert,
we have one scenario in which we make a single sales order for particular item . for which we have a billing plan as our MIS requirement we need to have billing plan so that we get a revenue for each month, how much we have collection from this customer , but our customer required only single invoice . so when i tried to make it by collective invoice it gives error that splitting happened due to different header data.
our requirement is whether billing plan have different dates for particular order . but we should make it into single invoice..
Please tell us what kind of changes we can make into copy control so that we can make it into single invoice.
With Regards.
MILIND

HI ,
I have found out that if the billing plan is attached to sales document then we need to maintain value 10 (billing plan single invoice) at item level in copy control. This will make a single invoice irrespective of all the billing plan date.. but still I am getting error while creating a invoice. it gets split due to different dates at header level.
my question is ...do we need to maintain billing plan copy controll also for this ? ... where exactly.

Enable billing plan to purchase requisition made in PS

Good afternoon, Mr.
I'm generating purchase requisitions through the Project, and I'm running into a problem:
When generating the purchase requisition SAP is not taking into account the invoicing plan registered with the material component, thereby to generate an appointment request in the amount of the request for the date of need, instead of generating commitments over the time as registered in the billing plan.
How do I activate the billing plan in purchase requisitions generated in the ER, could have programmed the commitment over time.
Att,
André Santos

Hi,
I think you are creating an invoice plan against the activities in a Project, When PR is created against a project system generates commitments, but this invoice will not get copied to PR, as PR is not a legal document, but when we convert this PR to PO we can copy the invoice plan into PO and can have control on this invoice plan as per milestones set in it.
In your post you mentioned billing plan, billing plan will be relavant for SD billing and it will not have any impact on commitments wrt project.
Thank

Billing planes

Friends,
How Billing planes (Milestone) can be used in the down payment processing?
Here we are collecting 30% payment during sales order creation & 70% during shipment.
Thanks

Hi Friend,
Mile stone billing is part of PROJECT SYSTEMS MODULE integrated with SD.
Milestone billing is practiced by Infrastructure companies and Power Ind,and construction industry(projects).
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

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

Collective Billing Document for Resource-Related & Order-Related Items.

Gurus,
Due to the nature of our service related business our contracts are made up of fixed price (periodic) billing, hourly & cost+ mark-up (resource related) billing invoiced on monthly cycles.
Our clients expect to see 1 invoice each month covering this combination.
Production of billing documents is follows:
A single sales order created with line items classified as either periodic or resource related.
For the periodic items a billing plan is maintained in the sales order.
For resource related items a debit/credit memo request is created using t.code DP91
Running t.code VF04 with the Sales Order, Debit/Credit memo request number and billing dates returns 2 lines.
Bililng date is entered in the default data tab to overcome invoice splits.
When running collective billing - individual billing documents are created.
What config or SAP notes are availble to make combining into a single billing document possible.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You have sales order item and resource related debit/credit memo
If you want to combine this then you have to set up proper copy control setting from SALES DOCUMENT to BILLING DOCUMENT
T-CODE VTFA
check at item level Data VBRK/VBAP, Maintain proper routine

Periodic Billing
Some customers may require invoices to be processed periodically, so that all deliveries due for billing by a certain time are put into one collective invoice.
Prerequisites
To fulfill this requirement, a billing schedule must be defined for the customer:
A factory calendar which contains special rules instead of working days must be created. These special rules refer to the days on which billing should be carried out. If, for example, an invoice is to be issued every last working day of the month, then this day must be entered as "valid from" day and "valid to" day. This day must be the only day defined as a working day in the calendar for each month.
The ID-number of the factory calendar must be specified on the billing screen of the payer's customer master record in the Billing schedule field.
Activities
When a sales document is created, the system copies the invoice date from the factory calendar and enters it into the relevant document as follows:
On the next billing date determined by the factory calendar, the system selects all sales orders and deliveries and puts them in a billing due list. They can now be billed.
As a result of the ID-number of the factory calendar defined in the customer master record, all sales orders or deliveries for that customer over a particular period have the same billing date, and they can be combined in one collective invoice.
The following figure shows how the system proceeds if a billing schedule has been defined for a customer.

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.
Regards,
KV

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....
Cheers

Collective billing for credit note requests

Hi ERP Gurus,
i'm trying to bill in a single credit note (billing document) many credit note requests generated through a rebate partial settlement.
I'm using the billing due list functionality (tcode VF04) with collective billing execution mode.
I got a dubt while seeing the billing document created because as many rows as the sum of the items of the two sales documents were created even if there were some common items.
I would like to have a summation if one item (i.e. a material) is present in more than one sales document but i wanna also be sure that the rebate agreement will be correctly taking in consideration the billing document created.
Anybody can support me on that?
Any suggestion is well accepted
Thanks and regards
C*

Hi Carmine,
If you could use any of the user exits to do it may be it will help you to solve you problem better, use a userexit while creating a billing document with more than one reference and then try to check and summate the materials in the user exit.
try this and let me know if this works...
even I did the same in my pro and it worked..
thanks & regards

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

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.
Regards
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.
