Define dateline category during maintenance of billing plan type

Hi, I am in the midst of setting up the SD configuration in my current system from scratch and this is the error message that I have encountered,  "Define dateline category during maintenance of billing plan type". Basically, what I have done is to create a contract using tcode 'VA41'. This error happened on the second screen after inserting contract type, sales org, distribution channel and division. any guru out there, pls advise. Thanks!!!
Regards
Andy

Hi!! Andy,
Dateline category controls data such as the billing block and the billing rule at the billing date level of the billing plan.
We assign a date category to billing plan in t.code OVBJ. check the assignment, make them if neccessary.
Hope this will solve your problem.
Regards,
PATHIK
Dear Andy,
Please check & maintain the enteries in t.code OVKK.
Do give your feedback.

PATHIK

  • Billing plan type

    hi
    i am trying to process a billing plant with mile stone billing where a customer pays a down payment 0009 and then pays the rest of the amount  after delivery 0008.
    the customer puts a down payment of 10% or 100
    when i try to process it with 0008 closing invoice it brings in the complete amount of $1000 instead of $900
    how am i supposed to handle such requests? am i doing the right thing?

    Hi
    If you want to have down payment of 10% and the rest 90% in the final invoice then there is no need to process down payment request using the billing type FAZ. You can directly process the down payment with the billing type F2 instead of FAZ.
    If you want to use down payment request process seperately then we need to clear the down payment in the final invoice by reducing the 10% from the final value and adjusting it against the already posted down payment in the FI since the down payment request will posted with special GL indicator in FI.
    So you can either choose to have down payment process (10% + 100%) or a simple process of having down payment and final invoice (10% + 90%).

  • 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

  • Regarding billing plans

    Hi friends... please ssuggest me the configuration steps of periodic billing and mile stone billing... please send me if possible the configuation steps to my mail id  [email protected]

    Hi Durga Prasad,
    Periodic Billing
    Periodic billing means billing a total amount for each individual billing date in the plan. For example, if you are creating a rental contract, the system can propose a schedule of monthly rental payments, according to the length and conditions of the contract.
    Milestone Billing
    Milestone billing means distributing the total amount to be billed over multiple billing dates in the billing plan. For example, you can use a billing plan for billing a make-to-order item that is assigned to a project in the SAP Project System. When you enter the project-related make-to-order item in the sales order (or assembly order), the system proposes a billing plan based on milestones defined for networks in the project. As each milestone is successfully reached, the customer is billed either a percentage of the entire project cost or simply a pre-defined amount.
    1) Periodic Billing
    Periodic billing can be used, for example, in rental contracts. The billing dates in a periodic billing plan can be determined from the following sources:
    => Control data in the billing plan
    => Header data in the rental contract
    => Manually entered dates
    The following dates are important for billing date determination:
    => Start and end dates
    => Period (monthly, quarterly, annually)
    => Horizon
    Start and end dates
    Start and end dates define the duration of the billing plan and, whenever possible, are copied from the start and end dates of the corresponding rental contract. Depending on the configuration of your system, these dates may be indirectly determined by the system. For example, the contract start date may be determined automatically as soon as the installation date is entered.
    Period (monthly, quarterly, annually)
    The periodicity of the billing dates determines the frequency with which the billing dates are created in the billing plan and, in addition, whether a billing date is processed for billing on the first or last day of the month.
    Horizon
    In case no end date is entered, or the end date lies so far in the future that not all billing dates can established, then a rule for determining the horizon can be entered. The horizon for periodic billing determines the last date of the billing plan.
    The horizon is always determined by a rule that uses the current date as a baseline. If the current date is updated during processing, the system automatically extends the horizon and the schedule of billing dates into the future.
    2) Milestone Billing
    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.
    For each billing date in a milestone billing plan, you can specify whether the billing date is:
    => fixed
    => always updated with the actual date of the milestone
    => updated with the actual date of the milestone, if the date is earlier than the planned billing date for the date
    => updated with the actual date of the milestone, if the date is earlier than the planned billing date for the date
    As of Release 3.0C it is also possible to assign milestones to the dates of the billing plan during milestone billing if no network plan has been opened.
    In order to do this you must assign the milestone manually in billing plan maintenance. For you to be able to make this assignment, the Fixed date field of the proposed date category of the billing plan type must not be blank. The additional fixed value (as of Release 3.0C) of Fixed date ‘ ‘ means that you cannot assign it to a milestone. Milestone assignment is possible for all other values. You make these settings in the Implementation Guide.
    For configuration please find the below path:

    For each billing date in a milestone billing plan, you can specify whether the billing

    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
    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.

  • Milestone Billing Plan issue

    Hi all,
    I have a scenario of project sales. The billing will be order based - 50% after order confirmation, 40% after delivery & 10% after installation & testing.
    I am using milestone billing plan for my project sales. I am not using the project system. I have created the billing plan in the following way:
    1. Define billing plan types. I have copied from standard billing plan 01 & saved as Z type.
    2. Define date descriptions. I have created 3 different date descriptions - a) Order confirmed, b) Delivery done, c) Installation & testing done.
    3. Define & assign date categories. I created 3 different entries. First for the down payment at the time of order confirmation........i used the date description as down payment. The billing rule selected was "Down payment in milestone billing on percentage basis". The fixed date selected was "Fixed date, date not copied from milestone". The billing block selected was "calculation missing". The billing type selected was "FAZ".
    For the second part (40% after delivery) I used the date description as delivery done. The billing rule selected was "Milestone billing on a percentage basis". The fixed date selected was "Fixed date, date not copied from milestone". The billing block selected was "calculation missing". The billing type selected was "FV".
    For the third part (10% after installation) I used the date description as installation done. The billing rule selected was "Closing invoice in milestone billing". The fixed date selected was "Fixed date, date not copied from milestone". The billing block selected was "calculation missing". The billing type selected was "FV".
    4. Maintain date proposals. I maintain 3 different dates with an interval of 5 days. For first step i selected the date description as "order confirmation"......billing % as 50%........selected the block......billing relevance as down payment on % basis.........payment term..........billing type as FAZ.
    For second step i sselected the date description as "delivery done".......billing % as 40%........selected the block........billing relevance as "Milestone billing on a percentage basis".......payment term........billing type as FV.
    For third step i selected the date description as "installation done"......billing % as 10%.......selected the block..........billing relevance as "Closing invoice in milestone billing".......payment term......billing type as FV.
    5. Assign billing plan types to sales document types....I assigned the billing plan to the sales doucment for project sales.
    6. Assign billing plan types to item categories.....I assigned the billing plan to the item category of the project item....with billing relevance as "I-Order-relevant billing - billing plan".....billing plan as the milestone billing plan.
    Copy controls: I maintained the copy control settings in VTFA.......sales order to billing document type FAZ & FV as well. In the transaction code VOV8 for the sales order document type I maintained the order related billing type as FV.
    Now I created a project sales order.......the system displayed the billing plan tab......the milestones were shown but the data regarding the billing percentage.......payment terms.........billing relevance.....was not shown. I entered all the details......with the document types as
    FAZ
    FV
    FV.
    I removed the block from the first milestone......down payment.
    Now i created an invoice in VF01......selected the order number for reference......the system created 2 invoices.......1 for the down payment request & the other contract invoice. The down payment request had the correct amount but the contract invoice did not display any value.......
    How should i correct the settings so the system will only create the relevant invoice......
    With best regards,
    Niyaz.

    Hi,
    You have done a good job.
    Enter different dates in sales order for each Milestone and assign billing block save the sales order.
    Goto change sales order, remove the block for one billing date.
    In billing screen, enter sales order no. don't press enter
    Click on Selection date (Shift+F7) enter the date range and press enter. you will get only first billing that is 50%.
    Actually we are using PS, milestones and billing dates will be copied from there.
    Regards,
    Chandra

  • How to link sales order and billing plan?

    Hi,
    Based on a sales order how can I know the billing plan? I tried to search for some posts, but could not find one with one exact answer regarding this.
    Thanks,
    Best regards

    Hi,
    In "OVBP" T.code,you can find the billing plan assigned to a sales order.
    The path is:
    SPRO>Sales and Distribution>Billing>Billing Plan>Assign the billing plan type to the sales order.
    In two ways we can assign this billing plan to order.
    One is the above mentioned one.
    Another one is to assign the billing plan type to the item category using the T.Code "OVBR".
    Regards,
    Krishna.
