DIP Profile & T&M Consulting
Dear Experts
My project is based on professional service & implementation for IT Company
I need to know the concept of DIP profile & how to configure the same.
My scenario is T&M (Manhours) consulting for IT company. I need to configure the same in SAP
Regards
Deepu Pillai
the concept is really resource related billing
i.e you bill based on the usage of time and materials and provide necessary mark ups
to do this you need to configure what is known as DIP (Dynamics Items Processor) profile
this profile collects cost and converts them to the relevant service material in sales order for billing
e.g. you use activity type 5 hrs and you want to invoice for 5 hrs
cost is based on activity type rate set in KP26 say 70 per hour
create service material Labour
set pricing condition for Labour as 100 per hour (or you can add condition in sales order to get mark up
once you confirm 5 hrs on your project this can be captured via DIPprofile settings to create a billing document of 5 hrs based on 100 per hour
cost = 5 x 70
Rev = 5 x 100
also you need to set up partner function for project defintion
I suggest you read SAP help as it is not possible to detail the configuration here as this will be based on your indicidual requirements

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.
RatnaHi 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.

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. -

DIP Profile assignment for item category
Hi Gurus,
I know at item category Level we can see "DIP Profile" . but i want to now whether any assignment any where in IMG?
Regards,
SeegalHello Seegal
You asked about assignment right? At least that's what I understood it as.
If you are asking about where to set up the profile itself, then here is the answer for that:
T Code: ODP1
Menu path: From SD: SPRO/IMG/Sales and Distribution/Sales/Sales Documents/Customer Service/Service Quotation/Resource-Related Billing/Profiles For Resource-Related Billing/Quotation Creation
Does that help you? -
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

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.
Regards
Arunachalam Sureshbabu.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.

Work center in material determination of DIP profile
Hello,
the source of our DIP-Profile is 0001 Acutal costs - line items.
We have the requirement to use the work center in material determination as criteria.
But in DP90 we get material determination error.
The issue is that in the failed combination no work center is available.
Why can´t the DIP find the workcenter we used in the service confirmation?
Thank you
Kind regards

Link Between DIP Profile and RA Key
Hi All,
As per Result Analysis calculation Method-15 "Revenue from Resource-Related Billing and Simulation of Dynamic Items", the "Cost of Sales" is calculated on the amount of actual cost incurred according to DIP Profile.
Can anybody tell me How the RA Key and DIP Profile are linked to each other? What is the configuration for this?
Thanks in advance.
Regds,
BijayHi Kedar,
I checked it and it's defined as optional.
The field "payment terms" is alreday displayed for all posting key.
The problem is that the "payment terms" that is defined in the customer master record is fulfilled per default in F-36 (bill of exchange payment) with posting key 14 and not with posting key 16.
Thanks in advance
