Hi,
For creating the budget billing plan via EA61, please try choosing the budget billing procedure as 1 or 2 in CA.
You might be getting the message in EA61 as:
This is not possible, because the value in the BB procedure (budget billing procedure) field in contract account XXXXXX no longer represents a budget billing procedure (1 or 2). It is therefore not possible to create a budget billing plan. You can only create a payment plan (procedure 3) using Simulate Payment Schedule.
Please check if the corresponding budget billing procedure is configured correctly in SPRO.

Creation of Budget Billing Plan for Countries with Tax Jurisdiction

Hello Experts,
When I create a budget billing plan for a company code with country Canada/USA and jursidiction TAXCAJ/TAXUSJ using transaction EA61, I get the message "Taxes with jurisdiction code not permitted with down payments"(Message no. >0194). The long text for this message says "Delete your entry in the field for jurisdiction code" Is any one aware where from this jurisdiction code should be deleted.
Is it possible to create budget billing plan for countries with jurisdiction code at all ?
Thanks in advance
Venkat

Hello Roopali,
What I learnt in the process of exploring the functionality is that Payment PLan (BBP or AMB) is the budget billing method for countries with Tax Jurisdiction. Statistical, Partial & Payment Scheme only works when jurisdiction is not defined for tax procedure. Payment scheme is the recommend procedure for Eurpopean market
Thanks for your clarification

IS-U DataSource for Budget Billing Plan (table EABP) available?

Dear all,
We're looking for a Datasource to extract data from table EABP, containing masterdata of Budget Billing Plan.
Anybody any idea if this datasource is available?
Kind regards, Harjan

Dennis,
Thanks for your answer.
We decided to create a generic datasource with deltamechanism on creation date and change date. We created a DS with Function Module for this.
However, when a Budget Billing Plan is deleted in IS-U it's deleted from table EABP.
Thus this deletion never flows into BI, leaving the deleted BBP in BI.
Any idea how to solve this?
Kind regards, Harjan

Calculation of Budget Billing Plan (Amounts)

Hi,
I have a case where I need to find out on what basis the new budget billing plan is calculated.
I want to verify on basis of what consumption the calculation is taking place. Suppose the monthly BB Amounts are calculated on basis of a certain consumption, say 300m3 but it should ideally be 400m3. How can I verify this?
The BB Plan got created while invoicing but where (event, FM, Sub Routine, exit) exactly is the BB Amount calculation taking place?
Thanks in advance,
Suresh Reddy

Hi Suresh,
During billing, system extrapolates demand up to the next scheduled meter reading date and billing is simulated for the budget billing period. This is how consumption gets calculated. So, you need to look out for next scheduled meter reading date and calculate expected meter reading using extrapolation procedure configured in system to know consumption considered.
Hope this helps.

Avinash

Amount field for Budget Bill accounts

Hello Experts,
I am using EABP to find out if a CA is on Budget Billing (BB) or not. Now I also want to find the amounts for the same CA.
I could not see any amount field in EABP or ERCH tables.
Is there a table or an FM to get the amount field.
Thanks

Hi Ricky
DFKKMOP has the installment amount. It only has 1 row per plan, unless there have been changes to the installment amount.

Budget billing & periodic billing

Hello Experts ,
If a Budget billing plan of a customer is active , which is created during move-in and if it is for 3 months period ,
Should the periodic billing be done for the customer in the next month after move-in ?
If yes/No then why ?
Which criterias decide this ?
Thanks ,
Nachiket.

Hi,
As per SAP std documentation
(source----http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60/helpdata/en/c6/4dc844eafc11d18a030000e829fbbd/content.htm)
Budget Billing:
An average amount is determined manually or via simulation that the customer pays for a period of 12 months. Actual billing is performed monthly and the results are printed on the bill. In addition, the difference between the amount of the actual consumption and the fixed average amount is calculated, updated monthly, and also printed on the bill. In the last month of the meter reading period, the actual amount and the accumulated difference are billed.
This will help you to clarify the doubts. On top this it is always important to send the monthly bill to the customer so that the customer can also keep track of the differences of the consumed/actual amount and contracted amount, also the updates on the BBP. Although the actual bill amount is not payable. The agreed amount will be paid by the customer and the residue amount will be adjusted afterwards. Payment Scheme also has concept of periodical review. So it depends.
For further documentation is on BBP please follow the below link:

Regarding prepayment method 'X' and 'L'present in budget billing plan

Hi Experts,
The prepayment column in budget billing plan is 'X' and 'L' for a particular business partner.
I checked the same column for other business partner also but it was blank.
Can you please tell me why this field was not blank and what does 'X' and 'L' mean ?
Thanks a lot.
Ajit Krishna

hi Ajit,
The indicator shows if Budget Billing Plan Item Is Advance Payment.
X :Normal advance payment
L :Last due date of advance payment
F:Last due date. Not yet transferred
You can check in BBP header if advance payment is activated.
Thanks,
Nachiket

Budget Billing

hi sap gurus,
As I am new to Budget Billing, Can anyone please help me out with this topic.
I need to know what is Budget Billing and procedure to do this...
Thanks in advance..
Nagesh

Hello,
You need to maintain BB procedure '4' in Contract account..I'd assume that your CA has active contract(s).
Set up PS using EA61PS.
Create BB request items using EA65PS.
Create MRU<EL31/EL32> Create Billing doc <EASIBI>Create Invoice document<EA10>.
You can make a payment using FP05 <FPY1 wud allow you to make payments till 30 days further from current date>
All your items wud be created with clearing restriction 'R'
This is only tip of iceberg @ PS!!
Hope this helps

Budget Billing and migrated amounts that are accumulated/restricted.

Hi All
We are 5 months into our SAP implementation and are starting to find issues with budget billing accounts (BBP) that had accumulated differences (open items with restriction 3) at the time of migration.
Example account was migrated with active BBP and account balance of $672.23 made up of $147.87CR (open) and $810.10 restricted. The account has since finalled and the plan has been de-activated but the $810.10 is still restricted and is causing issues with Dunning Notices.
Is there a way of removing the restriction to make the whole account balance of $1089.12 be fully due?
Thanks
Astrid

Hi Yuvi
EK96 is not my favorite transaction as it causes math errors with our Invoice Printing, but given this account is finalled it seems a reasonable solution.
I had to temporarily change the BB Proc on the account from 0 to 3, to enable EK96, change the amount, and then change the BB Proc back to 0 again.
All the $$ is now unrestricted.
Thanks.

Budget billing E61D

Just went live a weeke ago. Error when using E61d to delete budget billing document. "Forward balance amount has not been settled". The solution to force the deletion is to change the plan start date but this is grayed out. The budget billing plan can only be deleted if we remove the existing invoice documents first.

You cannot delete a budget billing plan unless all the invoices that were generated for the plan are reversed. Use EA13 or right click on the invoice related FICA entry in FPL9 to reverse the invoices. Once they are reversed, if you display the budget bill plan, it should show no print documents against any of the budget periods as well as, there should be no accumulator (carry forward balance). Only then you can delete the plan.

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

MIGRATION: Budget Billing Plans via Emigall

Hello there!
We are trying to migrate Budget Billing Plans via Emigall, and we don't really know how to do it... We have been checking all BBP_* Emigall Objects and, as far as we know, BBP_MULT object is the one we have to use...
But we don't know if it is posible to migrate an opened BBP (meaning 'in process'). For example:
bbp_number1. DUE_DATE=25.11.2009, invoiced, payment date=05.11.2009, clearing_doc=XXXXXXXXXXX1, ...
bbp_number2. DUE_DATE=26.12.2009, invoiced, payment date=05.12.2009, clearing_doc=XXXXXXXXXXX2, ...
bbp_number3. DUE_DATE=26.01.2010, invoiced, payment date=05.01.2010, clearing_doc=XXXXXXXXXXX3, ...
bbp_number4. DUE_DATE=25.02.2010, invoiced, payment date=05.02.2010, clearing_doc=XXXXXXXXXXX4, ...
bbp_number5. DUE_DATE=25.03.2010, invoiced, payment date=05.03.2010, clearing_doc=XXXXXXXXXXX5, ...
-> MIGRATION <-
bbp_number6. DUE_DATE=08.06.2010,not invoiced
bbp_number7. DUE_DATE=08.06.2010,not invoiced
ETC.
There are a couple of important premises I want you to consider:
-As this is a Company A to Company B migration, some data extractions can not be performed: Neither Bill Documents, nor Invoices will be migrated. All this data will be stored as PDF documents.
-Only consumption data will be stored in the standard database.
Will I be able to migrate this Budget Billing Plan without previously doing a regularization process (final bill, year-end bill) in the legacy system?
Do I need to migrate billing and/or invoicing documents before migrating BBPs? (this would be impossible for me)
What Emigall Object do I have to use?
Every response will be welcome! Thanks in advance, best regards!

Hi, and thank you very much for your answer.
I understand what you mean but then, how do you do the final bill (regularization process)? At the end you know the amount the client has payed you, but you don´t know how much he payed on the legacy system, right?
We are migrating them with the object BBP_MULT (and we try to migrate the whole plan, with 12 quotes), but we cannot migrate the "old" quotes, already payed in the legacy system. They appeared as "not payed", even if we inform the payment date, and the field "Clearing reason". Could you help us? Is it better to migrate them with the object you are using (BBP_EXT) instead of ours?
Thank you!

Budget billing again

Hello,
i'm course of implementing a budget billing plan for a gas company. Because i'm a beginner in SAP, even i have a lot of knowledge in other technologies, i can't figure it out how can i do it.
My SAP version is 4.6. I read that after SAP 4.7, Budget Billing is a FI-CA job. But now, this is my job (Billing and Invoicing). So, i'm here not for disturbing or spaming but for asking some pro's about: "Budget Billing, how did they do it".
After some time i've been doing some FI configurations and Billing stuff, but no specifications are telling what happends after actually make the plan.
Did the customer receives every month a fix bill?
Or he receives every month a bill with all the plan lines.
How i actually see the plan in the account.
Do you now more? If not, pls, somebody tell me to stop asking.

In simple terms, a budget bill plan is a billing arrangement in which a customer will be charged a fixed amount in every billing cycle. Every plan is valid for one year and at the end of the year, they will settle and a new plan is automatically created.
Now the dollars side of it. Say the plan preiodic amount is $50 and the customer's usage charges for that billing period are $70, then the $20 will sit in a staging area called cumulative difference (or accumulator). Let us say the customer had usage charges of $30 in the next billing period, so now the accumulator will 20-20 = 0 and this adjustment goes on until settlement time. Note that the accumulator amount will always have a clearing restriction till the settlement.
When the plan is getting billed for the last period, the customer will receive a settlement bill for the usage amount of that month, plus the credit or debit in the accumulator. Of course, there will be other things added or subtracted when the bill is generated such as taxes/customer charges/non-utility FICA charges/credits etc.
