DIP profile structuring of characteristics

Hi all
I have costs in the project comming from Materials, Activity allocations, travel costs. Each of these costs have their Overhead costs which comes from the costing sheet inn the WBS.
How do I structure the DIP profile's characteristics, so that the each of the items in the DMR will include the item's (Costs plus it's overhead costs) ? I do not wish to show Overhead costs as a seperate line item.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Arvind

Hi Chidambaram
I am able to see Materials costs, Activity Type costs, Travel costs & also overhead costs for each of these in the DMR as seperate items.
Now what I wish to see is
- Material costs & its overhead costs totalled up
- Activity Type costs & its overhead costs totalled up
- Travel costs & its overhead costs totalled up
I do not wish to have overheads as a line item in the DMR.
How do i get this done?
regards
Arvind

Billing Based on DIP Profile - PS - SD Line Items Structure

Hi,
I have created a sales order with 1 line item which is linked with a WBS Element via account assignment.
Based on the line item and WBS structure & Activities. I am billing the customer by creating a debit memo from DP91.
The billing is POC basis and is done on monthly basis. Thus at the end of each month the customer is billed according to quantities confirmed in DP91. Ultimately the complete project is done and all billing is completed as well.
Now the problem is: sales order line item had 1 quantity, however debit memo created via DP91 had more than 1 quantities and we have created multiple debit memo request w.r.t. a sales order. now the project is completed, but the status of the sales order is stilll "open". what should be the structure of sales order line items so that order is also set as completed when all quantities in PS are billed.
waiting for any kind of supportive information.
thanks.

Hi Robert,
You have 2 questions
1. On DIP
DIP has nothing to do with WBS, though you use WBS as one of teh characteristics in DIP. As per your DIP, many sales orders are created and they are enabled with different material (material determination in DIP). In order to analyse this further, you have to analyse the DIP, which is linked to your item category in VOV7. If not in VOV7, you can see the DIP name in the item level in the sales order. Using this, you can go to PS and there you can see the characteristics, usage and materials configured for this profile. This will give you a lead to find out why multiple items are coming. As per DIP profile, having multiple materials while creating documents in DP91 is expected behaviour.
2. For sales order update, you have to invoice all your billing plans, if your order items are billing plans enabled, (may be MS billing as your system has PS also). If you check this, and invoice all the milestones, then the status will be updated automatically. Before updating the sales order status, you should also close all the WBS elements and the project, which are linked to the sales order (I am not sure about this point, but you can try it in the test system, be have the system of one project per salesorder, may not be the case for you)
If you have any specific questions, pls lemme know.

Adding 2 dependent characteristics in DIP profile

Hi All,
I need to add 2 dependent characteristics to the DIP profile. I have already added 1 using the BADI DIP_AD010003_DC . Any suggestions on how to add the 2nd characteristic also?

In DIP profile
To use RRB between company codes, you have to adjust the DIP profile. Make sure that Intercompany Line Items are selected as a source for dynamic items of the dynamic item processor.
1. The Characteristic relevant indicator is set for the cost element characteristic.
A dynamic item is created on the basis of sales price for each cost element (planned or actual costs)
2. The Material determination indicator is set for the Cost element characteristic.
The cost element is made available as a characteristic for material determination using sets. If this indicator is set, you can enter only a set for the characteristic in the Material determination table.
3. The No summarization indicator is not set for the cost element characteristic.
Several dynamic items with the same material number and cost element in the sales price basis lead to the item in the sales document.
4. The Structuring indicator is set for the cost element characteristic. The set name PS-ALL or OAS is preset with levels from 1 to 2.
Dynamic items are structured hierarchically using the cost element group.
Do all this setting in DIP profile.& use the DIP to perform thsi billing reqmt.
Assignment to the DIP profile is performed in the service order header or the sales order itmes.

DIP Profile inconsistency if i tick structure

Hi to all,
Iam using Resource Related billing for time and material contracts.
In the DIP Profile config, i have maintained the personel number range, Material No, Object number.currency
If i tick the Structure in the charecter Tab for personel number, it is showing DIP Profile inconsistency.
If i tick only, i can bale get the person name in the sales view while doing DP91 transaction.
In 4.7 its working fine and Iam wondering what would be the problem.

WBS IN DIP PROFILE-Reg

Hi,
This is an requirement.
In odp1,under characteristics we can find WBS ELEMENT.
My requirement is,In Project System,client wants to bill the customer based on WBS element(as we do with Activity type normally).
The issue is WBS is not a predefined one as like ACTIVITY TYPE.COST CENTER,COST ELEMENT etc.It will get generated whenever project is created.In that case how can I build the profile.
Pl share your views in which scenario we use the WBS element in DIP.

DIP profile setting

Hi, gud morning, eveybody.
I m working on construction project which requires me tointegrate DIP with PS. i have made the setting as explained in SAP-help and documents provided in BB46, but somehow, i have failed to understand if it is really meeting my requirement. basically i m trying to say, i m not getting the concept of DIP.
1) what do i need to do to make DIP work with planned total records ?
2)where does planned DIP pick up the cost or resorces from and where does it plug it in quotaion if im working with resource related quotation?
3) when i run 'check prifile setting under ' DIP status it says 'not ok' what does it mean how do i turn this arround?
does someone have any really useful document on DIP settings other than help file or can someone explain DIP with setting.
you could mail the doc on <b><REMOVED BY MODERATOR></b>.
Thankyou for reading my query.
gud day all..

Maintaining Profiles for Sales Order and Billing Request
Use
The Dynamic Item Processor (DIP) profile defines and controls resource-related quotation and billing for service orders and sales documents. It may be maintained in either the Customer Service or the Sales and Distribution section of the IMG. The DIP profile allows flexible determination and translation of actual labor, material and other costs into sales materials for appropriate pricing and billing.
DIP profiles BC10 is used exclusively in the value chain for time and material project.
Integration
The DIP profile functionality is closely integrated with the controlling module for the processing of cost objects into sales materials.
Prerequisites
Relevant sales document types, condition records, sales materials have been created.
Procedure
Access the activity using one of the following navigation options:
IMG Menu Project System ® Revenues and Earnings ® Integration with SD documents ® Creating Quotations and Project Billing ® Maintain Profiles for Quotations and Billing
Transaction Code ODP12.
Activities:      In the configuration item Profiles for Sales Order, Billing, Results Analysis, choose profiles BC12.
     The DIP profile can be used for processing resource-related billing and results analysis, as well as for generating resource-related quotations. To do so, sales document types must be defined for each usage. Access the Usage section of the profile and maintain the following entries:
DI Usage     SD Ty BC12
1 Billing & Results Analysis     Z2TC
all other fields leave blank
     Access the characteristics section of each profile. The characteristics are the objects which the system will take into consideration when processing and displaying resource-related billing. For both billing and order usages, set the characteristics as follows (note that other settings are automatically defaulted in by the system):
Characteristic     Charact
Relevant     Material Determ     NoSummarizat.     Structuring     Sequence
Z2TC
Accounting Indicator     X
Activity Type     X     X     X
Object number     X
Period     X
Transaction Currency     X          X
Unit of Measure     X            X
all other fields leave blank
     The sources section determines what type of costs will be selected by the DIP profile for each usage. More detailed selection criteria are available, but not maintained in this setting. Access the sources section of each profile and maintain the following entries:
Line     Source     Percentage
1     0001 Actual Cost - Line     100
     Access the material determination and criteria sections of the profile. Material determination defines the sales materials that costs will be converted into. The criteria defines cost element groups (cost elements are determined from the labor activity type or the component account assignment) that correspond to each material. For both billing and quotation usages, define material determination as follows:
Material/Service     Material Determination:
Transfer Quantity/Costs     Material Determination:
Conversion Quantity     Criteria:
Activity Type
Z2TC
I00342     X (Transfer Cost & Qty)     Checked
I00984     X     Checked
all other fields leave blank
     To confirm that all entries and settings in the DIP profiles are consistent, go to the configuration item check profile settings. Enter the DIP profile and execute. Green traffic lights should be displayed next to all items for both usages. Otherwise, determine the inconsistency and make the necessary correction.

DIP profile, simple question, no solution?

Hi all,
I have to create a quotation from a service order, and it looks like simple because I have 2 or 3 internal operations everytime and they have to be reported in quotation (DP80).
Work Center for operations is the same, activity type the same... but I have to report exactly the same NUMBER of entry in quotation.
Example:
CS Order:
Operation 10: Internal work center A: TEXT01, activity A, duration 1 hr. cost = 10
Operation 10: Internal work center A: TEXT02, activity A, duration 2 hr. cost = 20
Result in DP80 is:
Item 1: Service material AAA price 30
Requirement is:
Item 1: Service material AAA price 10
Item 2: Service material AAA price 20
Is it possible?
Thanks.

Hi Frederico,
yes this is possible. In the settings of the DIP profile you can go to: Characteristics, after selecting the Usage: Quotation creation and sales pricing. In the characteristics list you mark the Activity Type in the field: NoSummarization. If you choose F1 in this checkbox you get this explanation:
No summarization
Controls the second summarization level for dynamic items, meaning from dynamic items to items of the billing request. The indicator defines whether the characteristic is taken into consideration during summarization of the items.
Use
If you do not set the indicator, the system summarizes into an item all dynamic items in the billing request for which the same material was found during quotation or billing creation. This also applies even if, for example, the assigned activity type is different for both materials (see Case 1).
If, for example, you do set this indicator (for example, for the activity type) the system does not summarize into an item the dynamic items for which the same material was found during quotation or billing creation if the activity types are different (see Case 2).
Examples
Case 1:
The indicator No summarization is not set for the activity type.
Dynamic item Activity type Material found
12 h Activity 1 Mat 1
5 h Activity 2 Mat 2
1 h Activity 3 Mat 2
When creating a billing request, the system creates the following items:
Item Material Qty/Unit
10 Mat 1 12 h
20 Mat 2 6 h
Because the indicator is not set for the activity type, the material "Mat 2" is summarized in the item of the billing request.
Case 2:
The indicator No summarization is set for the activity type.
The system does not perform summarization in the item of the billing request, but instead lists the items separately by activity type.
Item Actvy type Material Qty/Unit
10 Activity 1 Mat 1 12 h
20 Activity 2 Mat 2 5 h
30 Activity 3 Mat 2 1 h
Best regards

Hierarchy of SD-items when using DIP profile

Hi guys,
I hope somebody can help, because I didn't find any information to this problem.
I would like to do effort related billing with the DIP profile based on a contract item to which travel costs were posted to.
My idea was to create one main item in the debit memo request for each FI/CO document no. (that means for each trip/person) The structure below should be build up by partial sets of cost elements (that means costs of rental for a car, hotel costs,...) .
So, now I am able to build up this structure in DP91 area "costs", but in area "price" there is only one main item (service product) with several sub items .
In the credit memo request the items will be copied also with only one main item and several sub items.
Do somebody know the "hidden" checkbox to create nore than one main items in th subsequent document? Or is it only possible to create more than one main items by using a userexit?
Thanks for your help.
BR,
Jaqueline

DIP Profile settings

Dear Experts
If anybody knows step by step config of DIP Profile, please share?
Regards
Deepu Pillai

hi
DIP profile can be used for two purposes...
1.Sales pricing.
2.Billing
a)Usage would be for the above two and for each usage you can mention the sales document types.
b)you can mention the souce determination like Easy cost planning for sales prcingfor the usage
c)characteristics inputs for souce determination like cost elemnt , activity types, personnel number etc.
d)for each of these inputs you can mention the groups also
e)Material determination -- these are the dynamic items -- states how the inputs have to appear on the billing document.you can map an input to one single dynamic item -- by marking the indicator "individual"
in addition you find selection creatia for selction of inputs and units of conversion

DIP Profile sources - please help.

This is in regards to the structures / tables related to sources - maintained in table AD01SRCTAB. What is the function of the table/structure assigned to the source? How should they be used?
For reference, sources are assigned to DIP profiles in transaction ODP1.

BUMP!

Installed Base Status Profile Structure

Hi Gurus,
I have a doubt respect a status profile structure.
I create an Installed Base Z, after that I assigned an User Profile Status. I've intented to find the field structure into the general data view in CRM UI, but is imposible,basically in the view this structure is hidden or not exists. The structure name is RIBIB and I need to recover its information in order to show the information about status profile.
Your help will be rewareded. thanks so much!

Hi,
You could use the IBase function modules that all start CRM_IBASE_* to create the IBase and use the ORDER_SAVE BADI as a trigger.

Assigning DIP profile in Sales order

Hi all,
Here I had a strange issue. I want to assign DIP profile in my Sales order to create DP91. The box for assigning DIP profile ( Control of Resource-related Billing and Creation of Quotations) under SalesB tab of item data is disappearing in specific case.
Sometimes it is appearing and some other times it is not. I am not able to catch the difference. Can anyone please suggest me on this.
Ratna

Hi Prakash,
Thank you for your answer. My item cat is TAO and schedule line is CD. By default I am not using any requirement type (leaving the field as blank) as my case is service related. In that case I am not getting the above said box. But when I attach KE or any other requirement type manually in sales order under procurement tab, then that box is coming where I can attach my DIP. But why should I give requirement type as I am using material type as DIEN (service)? Where is the linke between requirement type and that box? This is just my analysis. May be I am going in wrong way (but my foundings are correct).
Can you suggest me please.
Ratna

Hi
I think u r say about types of Billing Actual Costs viz:
1. Periodic Billing
2. Flat Rate Billing
4. resource-related billing
        4.a.   Static Resource-Related Billing
        4.b    Flexible Resource-Related Billing
if i am on right track, plz explain the difference between then and what are the std cond. type and prcg prod in SAP
In present client remt. senc. there are both material and service in project system
so plz specify suitable cond. type and pricing prod.and while custmz what should be considered
