Config to Turn Off Indicator for Billing Plan in Header

Hi,
anyone knows whether there is a config that is able to turn off (or default as blank) for the indicator for "billing plan in header" that is found in the item's billing plan? This is the indicator that cause the item billing plan dates to copy from header's billing plan.
I am trying to write a program that create sales order with billing plan using BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2. As this BAPI does not allow me to change the item billing plan dates, I am looking at using the stardard program SDFPLA02 after the BAPI is called. However, for the program to work, I need this "Billing Plan in Header" un-tick,
Or, is BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDAT2 able to un-tick this indicator?

Remove the assignment.
Hope this helps.

New category for SNP planning

Hi Experts,
I would like to bring 'maintenance orders' as a new requirement category for SNP planning. These orders are to be considered as demand element (using a new LC order keyfigure). Customized Order type in order category 30 are available for these maintenance orders, which is required to be mapped in to a new requirement ATP category in APO. Please guide me with right procedure.
Thanks and regards,
Raghav

Hi Raghav,
Good to know that you achieved what you wanted to.
But for our benefit, can you share in more detail, how did you manage to do it?
you stated that you created a new order category ''Order Reservation Withdrawable'', which lets say is ZZ. and you must have added this category to the category group which is assigned to your dependent demand key figure.
But can you share how did you ensure that the order reservations for maintenance orders that you created in R/3 managed to flow to this order category and not to some other category?
Appreciate if you could explain in a bit more detail.

Which Trans. table contain Indicator for billing plan in header

Hi All,
I wnat to find out how SAP table storage the following field:
In Sales Document Item with billing plan, the reference to the header billing plan 'check box' in the 'Billing plan' screen.
-> Indicator for billing plan in header (RV60F-KFREL)
Any, Idea?
Thanks,
Neil

Sorry Neil,
that was nonsense: I confused billing plan with installment plan: In telecom, media, utilities and other businesses with many (small) customers, you can use module contract accounting (in connection with SAP business partner). If people can't pay their bill, the company can agree on paying by installments. For this, contract accounting module uses the installment plan. This will split up the debt into slices due i.e. every month. Table fkk_instpln_head is used for this.

Allow partial quantity billing for billing plans - VOFM - SAP Note 726039

Hi Gurus,
I got one task, telling that copy that routine 23 into customized ex: 902 in VOFM. Then change the copying requirement for the corresponding item category in the copying control (Transaction VTFA).
reruirement is that the customer is paying cash in advance. Goods are partially delivered.
ex:
Order 10001206 creates a downpayment request for 10EA. A delivery is created for 2EA.
First clearing invoice 70700001 is created with billing quantity A in the copy control: A Order quantity less invoiced quantity. Hence the whole order quantity is considered for billing.
For the second clearing invoice 70700003 (the first was cancelled) billing quantity B is used in the coy control: B Delivery quantity less invoiced quantity. Hence 2EA are considered as billing quantity. For an item that has zero delivery quantity an invoice with zero billing quantity will be created ( the behavior we see).
Billing type : ZBAC
SalesDoc Type : ZSC
Item Category : zsak, zszs, zsao etc.
They are telling the Solution like this.
the quantity to be billed is calculated from delivery quantity minus the already billed quantity during the billing of a billing plan date
Pls help me, I never used VOFM for enchancement.
As an abaper what we have to do for this task,
Thanks in advance.
Kiran.

Detailed operation for billing plan

Hello Gurus,
I have created billing plan, but I don't know where to use these billing plan. please show me the scenario where I can use biling plan and show me the detailed operation?
thanks very much!

HI zhang
If you assign billing plan to sales doc type at header level a billing tab will come and If you assign a billing plan to item category a billing tab will come at item level
Periodic billing plan
These billing plans are using for agreements.The best example is scheduling agreements where you can use the periodic billing plan
Milestone Billing plan
These are used to set to the customers. The best example for this is when we configure downpayments in SAP. In down payments customer pays the amount in advance either 50%or 100% then we will deliver.(depends on the business requirement).
In Down payments , the material has to be assigned item category group005 and when you create sales order item category will be TAO which will have billing plan assigned
Now you can created dates and fix amounts as per the billing plan. and you can assign a billing block also. if you want

Management of Trial Period for Billing Plan !!

Hello SAP folks,
I have a real time business requirement where we essentially have Rental Contract which are being created from Sales Order and there is a billing plan defined for this Rental Contract. With new introduction of some Marketting strategy of Marketting group of my Client they have come with introduction of trial period for 30,60 and 90 days for the Contract !!
Now When we talk about the Trial period for 30 days, there are two important triggering point which are mapped from Sales Order to Contract i.e. No of Payment and Term of Contract. For 30days of Trial period, the number of payment is 11 if the term of contract is 12 month, 60 days the number of payment is 10 and term of contract is same as 12 month.
Now my question is how can i map this sort requirement in SAP with respect to Billing Plan i.e How to set the system such the billing should be happening based on No of payment ???
Any pointers on this requirement shall be really appreciated !!!

Sarthak

Generating data source for a planning area

Hi all,
I have a problem when generating a datasource for a planning area as it gives the following logs.
Activate table /1APO/EXT_STRUXXXXX
Tabble 1APO/EXT_STRUXXXXX was activated with warnings
and the data source is not being activated.
I have also created an entry in the table /SAPAPO/TSAREAEX and tried to activate the datasource for the planning area ,it is saying the datasource already exists.
Can anyone give me a straight solution for this.
thnks in advance.

Hi Satish,
After you generate the datasource, go to transaction /n/sapapo/sdp_extr and try doing a check on this datasource. If you still get those warning/error messages, try the Repair datasource option and see if it fixes the issue. In RSA1, replicate this datasource and then try activating it there and see if it works. Don't create an entry in the table /SAPAPO/TSAREAEX, as this is not a standard recommended way of doing it. Good luck

Data source for a planning area

Hi Experts,
I have created a data source 9AZDP_APAP for my planning area ZDP_APAP. When I'm creating this data source, SAP itself prefixing my datasource name with '9A'.
I'm wondering is this ( Starting the data sorce name with '9A') with in our system only or with every system.
If it is with every system then is there anyway I can override this.
The reason why I'm asking this question is my data source is giving error " M version is different from A version' in RSA1, when I'm trying to activate my datsource I'm getting authorization error. When I contacted my security people on this they are telling I'm not following the naming standards. They are telling that the data source name should start with Z.
All the inputs on this will be highly appreciated.
Regards,
Brahma Reddy

Hi,
Generating a data source on a planning area in APO is really very helpful function we have. this will help us to save a lot lot time to generate cube/rules/source.
Definately, when system generates the data source it will follow its own logic "9A" which we can not change.
I guess you create a DataSource manually if required, where you can follow your own logic, but that is not really consistent as system generates. becuase when it generates, it will check for time char and all based on storage bucket profile and generates.
Hope my information will help you in understanding the importance of auto generation of data source

BAPI for billing plan and billing order

Hi Sap Guru, i need your help on bellow questions :
Are there any BAPIs or MF standard used to read billing plan from the business partner (header and lines) ? Are there any that permit to create, simulate, modifify or cancel a billing plan ?
Are there any BAPIs or MF standard used to obtain payment from a Busines Partner or Contract Account ? Are there any that allow to obtain views on the accounting records (header, extension, set of payments, discharges...)
Thanks in advance for all reply.

Check the BOR object PAYSCHEME . You would find all the methods there

Check material master data attributes for COPA planning?

Hi
Our users use COPA for sales forecast. Apparantly they don't know their data, because they often manage to plan sales on materials that are no longer "active", defined by "plant specific material status" in the MRP view of the material master.
They would like the system to issue a warning or forbid planning on a material if it has a certain status.
I don't know any way to do this other than getting someone to code a validation that runs whenever planned data is saved. Is there an easier way?

Actually, we are only using ke11 for planning input, so your suggestion won't work for us:-(
However, reading it and trying to write why it wouldn't work inspired me to come up with a possible solution myself using simple derivation:-)
Rule 1:
Table lookup:Source field MARC-MMSTA, target field USERTEMP1
Condition: PLIKZ=1
Rule 2:
Derivation rule: Source field USERTEMP1, target field USERTEMP2
Condition: PLIKZ=1
Attribute: "Issue error message if no value found"
Rule values: Only entries for the valid status (we only have vlaues 1-4, so I just made mapping 1-1, 2-2, 3-3 and left out 4, which should not be planned)
This solution doesn't require that the field is added to the CO-PA structure which is a nice bonus:-)
The request was for a warning, but maybe an error will be acceptable as well.

How to suppress "no valid rows of data" warning for composite Planning Form

I had an issue with using a 2-grid composite webform. I want to show Substitution Variables along with my primary grid. My secondary grid was created using Substitution Variables for rows, columns, and page dimensions. I am hiding all of the segments but not suppressing missing for rows or columns.
The problem is that I get the message "There are no valid rows of data for this data form" on the composite form due to my secondary grid (the Substitution Variable grid). Any tricks on how to suppress that? I even tried to add some data to an intersection, but, even with data, hiding the segments seems to bring on the warning message.
Thanks.

That can be caused if suppress on columns is on. We usually ignore the column part
Even after all suppression is turned off and still getting the error, then yes it is could be because there is not data for that intersection.

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
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
Reward points if helpful.

Billing plan and billing status

Hello Friends,
I would like to clarify if my understanding is correct before I configure a billing plan:
1. Billing status is not seen in billing doc but in preceding doc like a DO.
2. For a Billing Plan, there can be 1 billing plan at item level for a set of settlement dates.
If the plan is defined at header level, only 1 billing plan is for all items.
3. Contract is a sales doc type and contract data is only at header level.
Is this considered an Order-related billing when invoice is printed at each billing date?
Is the contract considered as the reference doc for the billing doc sent to customer? I believe so. please confirm.
4. There is no such thing as master billing plan that item level billing plans need to be linked to.
5. date category : this is at billing date level and cannot be changed?
regards
Pascal
