Hi,
You should acticate the service charge settlement functionality.
1. one posts the incoming invoices on settlement units
2. one runs the service charge settlement which distribute the costs to the rental units and invoices the tennat if he participates in the service charge settlement (which generates open items in FI)
3. one runs the invoice processing (which is based on the open items in FI

Service charge settlement to 2 Business Partners assigned to a contract

Please can someone explain how to settle service charge costs to 2Business partners'accounts. For example if we have a rental unit with a tenant and also a landlord of that rental unit and both are picking up costs for different service charge costs or the same service charge costs, how will these be apportioned to both of them.
I have tried assigning 2business partners to one service contract but after running the service charge settlement, the costs were only settled into one business partner's account.

Hi,
please check if the functionality Condition Split, available with Enhancement Package 2 in Business Function RE_GEN_CI_1, might meet your requirement. Further information is available in the release notes of the Business Function.
Hope that helps.

Service Charge Settlement

Hy,
please can somebody explain me the process of service charge settlement?I don't understand how is using the settlement units and how the postings are made.
Thank you very much.

Hi,
I've added an excerpt of the online documentation of RE-FX which gives an overview over service charge settlement.
I know that are only basics but maybe it helps you to get a better understanding. If not please tell me where you need more detailed explanation.
Regards, Franz
Purpose
You use service charge settlement to distribute apportionable costs that arise during a particular settlement period to the tenants.
Process Flow
Below is a description of the processes involved in service charge settlement.
I.    Master Data for Settlement Unit, Rental Object, and Contract
       1.      Enter measurements in each participating usage object.
       2.      Assign the usage objects to a participation group for each business entity.
       3.      Create a settlement unit for each service charge key, and assign the rental objects participating in the settlement to this settlement unit using the participation group.
If costs for more than one settlement unit were jointly invoiced, you must create a master settlement unit.
       4.      The settlement participation is automatically generated for each contract. However you can define exceptions in each contract.
II.   Incoming Invoice Posting
Account assignment of service charges is made to the respective settlement units or master settlement units in the Financial Accounting (FI) component. The settlement amount is transferred automatically to the correct settlement period by means of the settlement reference date.
For postings with extended withholding tax, only advance payments posted as revenue are considered for the conditions relevant for service charges. The system does not support special general ledger processes with withholding tax. The standard withholding tax term is often used during service charge settlement. You can determine the term from the conditions only in the Transfer Posting Advance Payments Debit Balance settlement mode.
III. Execute Service Charge Settlement
Execute the service charge settlement run at the end of the settlement period:
·        Advance payments are transferred in a batch input session.
·        There are several steps involved in the settlement. You can save each step (except posting) and call it again.
·        The results of settlement can be posted directly to Financial Accounting.
For more information on performing service charge settlement, refer to Simulating and Executing Service Charge Settlement.
Result
Depending on how you set it up, the service charge settlement performs the following activities:
       1.      Calculation of total costs for the settlement period for each service charge key
       2.      Cost apportionment to the relevant contracts or rental objects
       3.      Posting of cost shares to tenant accounts
       4.      Determination of the advance payments (actual payments) made by the tenant for which credit transfer postings are made

Service charge settlement - cannot settle Settlement Units.

Hello,
I am trying to run RESCSE (service charge settlement) for a BE. After I have run the job, the job finishes very fast (less than a minute) and shows the status as 'finished'. When I am looking at the Settlement Unit under the BE, I find that for that month (for which the settlement was run), the status shows the symbol of a lock. Nothing seems to have been settled.
When I went back to the job log to check the steps, I found that though the job has finished, it has one line which says "batch processing not possible". But when I had run RESCSE, I had run it ONLY for this BE and not as a batch. Also, it has a line that shows that a settlement id has been generated but next to it is written, successful steps: 0; incorrect steps: 1.
Can someone please guide me how to investigate this issue?
Regards,
Suvarghya Dutta

Hi ,
Reg this SCS you can settle it to Contract level only .You can not settle to pertaining to the object .
Check in the contract u have given the participation group as BE or not.

Assiging wbs element as settlment receiver in service order settlement

Hi PM CS Experts.
We are using scenarios of creation of service order from sales order. So whatever cost we incurred for service order settling to sales order via settlement rule - settlment receiver is Sales order i.e. SDI. We are using settlement profie XX which have default object type for settling SDI. While releasing the service order the settlement rule created with settlement receiver is SDI.
Now for different business scenarios, we are settling service order cost to WBS. Now we want to create a settlemetn rule for WBS, settlement receiver will be WBS element, while saving the service order. What configuration, master data or processes we have to follow for this.
please reply on this.
regards
abhay

Sales Order line item have account assignment WBS element. From this sales order line, a service order will be created. So our idea is whatever cost booked to service order should be settled to wbs element instead of sales order.
also in location tab of service order, the wbs element from sales order is not inherrited in account assignment section. Why this we are not knowing. Have you have any idea for this.

abhay

Settlement of freight charges in KO88 not settled

Dear Friends,
In KO88, In Settled values - Asset of value 10000 is displayed and freight charges 1000 is displayed.
The settlement run is completed with any errors.
I went to the GL Account - Asset under construction, here the freight charges 1000 are being displayed as open item.
Please suggest why freight charges are showing as open item. The user is saying the GL account should displayed zero balance.
Regards
Sridhar

Dear Friends,
When trying to execute the KO88, I am getting the following message.
Either the sender is already settled, or there is nothing to settle
Message no. KD213
Diagnosis
Possible causes:
The balance on the sender is zero.
There is nothing to settle for the settlement type selected.
Example: Periodic settlement
Distribution rule: Percentage rate 50%
Receiver cost center 1
Settlement type PER
Charge in the posting period: $200
Credit from earlier settlement: $100
The distribution rule always applies to the period value (here: $200). At the month end, 50% (here $100) was settled. This leaves nothing to be settled when the period close is repeated. The balance (here: $100) can only be settled using full settlement or an additional distribution rule.
Please suggest how to solve the error.
Regards
Sridhar

Service Order settlement to GL

Hi,
I want to settle the service order created for customer under warranty to a - Warranty Claim GL.
I have maintained the settlement rule in the service order for Gl and have given the - Warranty Claim Gl also.
Settlement in KO88 is also happening with full amount being settled to the GL (Material + labour).
My query is since the material consumption is already shown as an expense do we need to settle the material part also to the GL.
What is correct method to process service order under warranty?
Also where i can default the settlement Rule for the service order?

Hi,
What you said is correct because the Gl - Warranty Claim is only getting debit and credit for settlement.
How actually is the process for customer warranty done through service order.
The client wants to post cost incurred to service the machine to the GL - Warranty claim.
Since they cannot bill the customer.
what is the correct method of doing the service order under warranty.

Service Order Settlement - assigned to PSG

Hi,
I need a help regarding Service Order Settlement assigned to Profitability Segment.
Currently, in our system every item of SD Invoice posts revenues and COGS to profitability segment (PSG).
Main characteristic of PSG are: Customer, Product, Division, Profit Center.
We have implemented CS module using in Car maintenance service.
And now in CS module it is not possible to get PA document automatically after an invoice posting so we have to settle Service Order to PSG.
But Settlement rule for Service Order is not on item level (per every material-product separately).
We wants to have the same rules (per Product char.) for Service Order as we had so far in SD.
Is it possible to customize Settlement rule of Service Order on item level?
For instance according to an Invoice items from document flow:
Thanks,
Zoran

Hi,
The Negative Sign is due to Cost Element Category 21(Settlement Cost Element) for the Receiver PSG, is assigned for Cost element Group Revenue(Source) in CO allocation Structure.
Thus flowing to COPA in negative value when settlement happen from Internal order.
Can we change to Cost element category 11 ( By cost element - Check box) at Receiver PSG and removing the settlement cost element from Receiver.
Will it cause any problem in CO allocation structure.
We have datas in Settlement cost element for the fiscal year .
Thanks

Service Order settlement

Hi,
I need to set-up settlement of a service order. Can anyone tell how to go about it? To which elements does usually a service order settles? Primary/Secondary, is secondary the how does it get posted to G/L ?
Thanks,
Pankaj.

hi pankaj..
Settlement takes place through settlement rules you have created for the order.The costs are initially collected on the order. They are then transferred to the settlement receiver (Fixed asset ,Cost center ,WBS element,Order ,G/L ccount ,Material ,Asset under construction etc)specified in the settlement rule.
You can settle an order if:
1.It is released
2.It has the status Settlement rule created
3.Costs collected for it have not yet been settled
4.A business completion has not yet been performed for it
Creating a Settlement Rule Manually
Call up the order in change mode.
Choose Settlement rule.
The following cases can occur:
If a settlement rule already exists for the order, you reach the screen Maintain Settlement Rule: Overview directly.
Check the settlement rule.
To change it, go to detail data on the Maintain Settlement Rule: Distribution Rules screen, where you can make additional entries.
If a settlement rule does not yet exist for the order, you must first specify whether you want to maintain the settlement rule with or without the system proposal for the distribution rule. A screen appears where you can maintain the settlement rule.
Make all the necessary entries on this screen.
Return to the order and save it.
I think this will help you

Settlement - Customer service

HI Experts,
I need some clarification on settlement profile, i have few querries as below
1. DO we need to do settelement for every service order, if yes then to which element.
2. If it is only case to case basis then pls give me some example where only we need to settlement,
3. Do settlement also effect the Accounting, if yes how.
4. IF possible, some study material or link to understand settlement in Service Order.

Hello Bharat,

No, the billing/settlement relevance is configured on item level. See Transaction SPRO CRM -> Transactions -> Basic Settings -> Define Item Category (-> Sales: Attribute Billing Relevance)
> 2. If it is only case to case basis then pls give me some example where only we need to settlement,
You need it whenever you want to get money for a certain service from the customer who received it. A typical service scenario may require service confirmations (e.g. a technician confirms how much time was spent and which material has been used). In such a scenario you'ld configure the billing relevance on the item category of your service confirmation (not on the service order!)
> 3. Do settlement also effect the Accounting, if yes how.
Sure! Settlement results are consolidated into a billing document. The billing document transfers the accounting relevant information to the Accounting (FI-AP / FI-CA).
> 4. IF possible, some study material or link to understand settlement in Service Order.
You should find information within the Online Help (http://help.sap.com/ SAP Solutions -> Business Suite -> SAP CRM Release xyz -> Application Help -> Search for Service Billing)

Surprise $70 Service Charge on Bill

I areceived a $70 "service charge" on my bill that I was never told would be showing up. Initially, Comcast sent out a technician who fiddled around for 4 hours, fixed nothing, and then told me that my building management would need to install a new line and then everything would work again. After trying to get my building management to do this for a week, I finally learned that he had lied, management can't even do that, and I had to call Comcast and they sent another technician out who fixed the problem in 10 minutes. I was never, ever informed that I'd have to pay, and furthermore, I went even longer without cable and internet, spending energy trying to get my building management to do something that they can't do and isn't necessary. I'm really upset and do not want to pay.

Wondering why *ComcastCares* hasn't responded to this post with a direct message to my inbox. I'm still really upset about this charge and do not think I should be paying $70 for what happened - am I paying for the first technician that couldn't solve the problem and lied to me or the second technician who had to come out to easily solve the problem his coworker couldn't?

HI
see You have your tax procedure in OBYZ t-code
There you will have subtotal price+excise duty as subtotal in your tax procedure your excise will zero so remain only material price
subtotal 591 =material+service tax -statical
592=service tax 10% on 591
593 =service tax 2 % on 591
594 =service tax 1% on 591
after that subtotal 595 ==from 591 To 594 -stastical
596===vat on 595
