Installment Plans

Hi All,
Actually I am working on FICA: Installment plans. There are 3 standard datasources for the Installment plan.
0FC_IPL_HEAD_01--- Installment Plan Header Data for Business Warehouse
0FC_IPL_ITEM_01 --- Installment Plan Items for Business Warehouse
0FC_IPL_ORIG_01---- Installment Plan Original Items for Business Warehouse
The problem I am facing is I am not able to get any records in the header extractor (0FC_IPL_HEAD_01) and Original Items extractor (0FC_IPL_ORIG_01). But I am getting data in Items ( 0FC_IPL_ITEM_01 ) extractor. In the base header table of Installment plan I am able to find some records.
To pull the data to BW we have to scheduled a run in Tcode - FPIPBW. Where it is not giving any records in Header extractor.
If anybody have worked on FICA Installment Plans please guide me through this.
Regards
Karthik

Hi,
First execute init for the data source and then run tcode-FPIPBW.
Now you will find data in the corresponding tables.
Refer the below link which will be of some hlep.

How to migrate installment plan with open items

Hi all,
I am trying to figure out how to migrate an installment plan, when my legacy system does not tie my open items directly to my installment plans. And the amounts in my open items table may not add up to the exact amount of the installment plan.
So for a simple example, I have $10 left on an installment plan that was created 6 months ago.
Since the creation of the plan obviously more charges and payments have been posted to this account, clearing previously open items and creating new ones.
Presently, I have only 2 open items remaining, one for $6 and one for $7.
So I have "enough" open items ($13 worth) to post the $10 installment plan, but not an exact match.
The way I read the migration documentation on this, I thought I could use a OPUPZ field (Subitem for a Partial Clearing in Document) to signify that I want to partially clear that $7 charge. Apparently I misinterpreted that.
So my question is, is there a way to migrate this installment plan with this set of open items?
Or is my only option to alter the payment plan to the open items, and say that there is $13 remaining on the plan?
Thanks.

C N,
The principal Idea is to migrate either
- the original amounts, the installment plan and last the latest payments (you migrate payment history)
- or to migrate the still open amount as one or more open items and subsequently an installment based on that amount.
Kind regards,
Fritz

Transferring Open Items, Instalment Plans and Dunning Level

Hi all,
We are implementing SAP IS-U for a water suplly company and we have a process in which an Installation is transferred from a Business Partner to another. For this we are using the Move-in / Move-Out functionality (trx EC60).
So far, so good. The problem is that we also should transfer also the Open Items, Instalment Plans and Dunning level to the new Business Partner and new Contract Account.
The questions is: can we transfer these automatically?
We thought in different scenarios in case this is not possible, so I would appreciate if you can give us an opinion:
1 - Use FP40 transaction and transfer FICA elements manually
2 - Create a FOP process to perform step by step the process from CIC0. The only problem I have found is that there is not any object that allows me to transfer the open items. Does it exist? If not, this option is not valid
3 - Use the "Change CUstomer" Functionality. Did you have any experience using this funcionalidty? The main issue I have with this is that the system generates a dummy invoice, the Move in Date is in the future, and the Account must be closed.
Please any information will be very helpful. Thank you very much in advance!
Best Regards,
Lucas

Hi Lucas,
You can transfer the open items and the dunning level manually to the new BP and CA through transaction code FP40.
You need to maintain the following configuration settings in the posting area 1055-
Curr-Currency of the Cocd
Clearing Reason-Clearing reason used for transfer
Document Type-Document Type used for Transfer
Only all items- blank
Credit-X
Transfer DL-X
Moreover, you cannot transfer Instalment Plans through FP40, as instalment plan items are statistical in nature.
Hope it clarifies.....
Thanks,
Amlan

Installment Plan-- Payment Run

Hi Friends,
by executing the Payment run for an Installment plan, comes the following error message.
Amount 34,10- EUR for document 9123456789 could not be broken down
Message no. >5251
Diagnosis
The amount specified is the clearing amount that is allotted to a collective bill or an installment plan with document number 9123456789. This amount is to be split over the items belonging to the collective bill or the installment plan by the clearing variant assigned to clearing type 20R and clearing category of the contract account.
The clearing cannot be posted for one of the following reasons:
You have not used a correct clearing variant for this business transaction.
No clearing variant could be determined.
Procedure
Check the relevant table settings for clearing control.
You must be able to split the amount over the items belonging to the collective bill or installment plan using the clearing variant. Therefore, you usually have to permit a partial clearing of these items.
The clearing variant must not use rules for automatic write-off of tolerance variances.
It is the 6th Installment plan of him, till now with Payment run- correct amount was deducted in Direct Debit and this is not the last Installment plan.
In clearing type 20R-Distribute Payment to Installment Plan-Usage 3 was used with check box for Incoming Payments was set.
1. I have no idea what caused the error message that was stated above.
2. As stated in the config for 20R-There is no payment, why did the system execute this Clearing type.
3. As it is direct debit the amount which was direct debited 34,10 is equal to IP.

Hi Lakshmi,
You need to check your customizing here:
>Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable
>Basic Functions
> Open Item Management
>Clearing Control
>Clearing Variants
>Define Clearing Variants
   20S Collective Bill
>Define Clearing Types
R 20S Distribute payment to collective bill
"You cannot change the clearing types delivered by SAP."
>Define Specifications for Clearing Types
>Define Defaults for Collective Invoice/Installment Plan/Summarization
   20S Distribute payment to collective bill 20S
   "Special Features
    The clearing variant defined for these clearing types must
    guarantee that the clearing amount in question can be distributed
    in full to the related dependent single items. The variant may not
    use any rules for automatically writing off tolerance discrepancies.
    Otherwise, processing will be terminated. ..."
Please make sure above customizing is maintained.
I hope this helps.

How to pick up installment plan in alternate bill (invoice)

Hi,
For a certain rate category (product), we are moving from monthly billing cycle to fortnightly billing cycle.
Installment plans are already created for customers such that installment is due on 1st day of every month.
As per contract terms, we can not break down installments further and should be charged only once in a month.
E.g. installment due dates are 01.04.2011, 01.05.2011....
Earlier this was charged once in a month, as billing cycle was monthly.
Now when we move from monthly cycle to fortnightly cycle, installment is being picked up in each fortnight (though due date is not reached).
E.g.
For bill period 01.04.2011-15.04.2011, billing/invoicing is done on 15.04.2011, one installment is picked up corresponding to installment due date 01.04.2011. This is okay.
For bill period 16.04.2011-30.04.2011, billing/invoicing is done on 30.04.2011, again new installment is picked up (which is due on 01.05.2011).
Here we want to avoid installment being charged in second fortnight which is not yet due. This should be picked up in subsequent cycle.
Please advise how to handle this, is there any event etc. where we can make some changes?
Thanks,
Sachin Joshi
Edited by: joshisachinr on Apr 19, 2011 1:52 PM

Sachin:
Look at event R411 for solution to your issue. You can adjust line items pulled in for due date synchronization. You might also reconsider the restriction of the IP line items since the items are no longer requested on same cycle as billing.

bill.

Installment plan + invoicing

Hi All,
When an installment plan is created, it is blocked until next regular invoicing.
2 installment plans have been created say 80001 and 80002.
80001 due date is on 15.01.2010 and 80002 due date is on 15.01.2011.
When invocing was done on 31.01.2010. Both installment plans were unblocked and appeared on the invoice. This should not have happened, only installment 80001 with due date 15.01.2010 should have appeared.
Can you please suggest why this is happening?
Regards
Malini

Installment Plan Migration failing (Emigall)

Hi all,
I'm trying to migrate installment plan data using the INSTPLAN object. I can upload successfully as long as I'm only migrating ONE payment. The problem is when I try to migrate multiple payments. The way I read the docs, I should just be able to send multiple IPDATA rows with the payment amounts and due dates, under one IPKEY row.
I've pared my data back to just sending as follows:
IPKEY row with current dates
IPDATA row with due date 20090129, amount due 14
IPDATA row with due date 20090228, amount due 14.56
IPOPKY row with a Document id that relates to a single open item of 28.56.
I have verified in FPL9 that my open item is indeed that amount 28.56. But the error that I get is:
"Sum total Inst. Plan is not equal to the original receivables"
So this makes me suspicious that I've done something wrong in the IPDATA rows - maybe it's recognizing only one of them?
Can anyone shed some light on this subject for me?
Thanks,
C N

One more thing I can't figure out, is how to load an installment plan where there is not an EXACT match of open items to the installment plan amount, so I need to partially clear one open item.
I've played around with using 000 and 001 for OPUPZ as the documentation indicates, but still I cannot get that scenario uploaded
Anyone know how to do this?
Thanks

Installment plan v/s payment schema

Hello,
Instalment paln and payment schema(Budget Billling) both does the same functions.If i am right what are the differences.
which gives the higher flexibility?where, how , when we use????

The biggest difference in payment schemes such as budget billing and installment plans is not in the term, but in the purpose of use.
Budget billing is created upfront for a certain period, using an estimation of the consumption to come over that period. It's used to spread upcoming bills in time (for example, based on your previous year, you'll have to pay 600u20AC in six months time, therefor we'll make you a budget billing already charging you 100u20AC each month until you receive you invoice).
Budget billing is (always) deducted from your next invoice, after which a new bbp starts.
Installment plans are used to pay off debt, after they are already invoices. Installment plans are made from open items, which are combined and redistributed over a couple of months. So, it's for bills you should already have paid, but for which you didn't have the money at the time. For example: you have two unpaid invoices, one for 100u20AC and one for 250u20AC. You cannot paid them this month and ask you utility company for a plan. They create an installment plan for 350u20AC, spreading this amount over 7 months, so you'll have to pay 50u20AC each month.
Usually, there's no need to which between BBP and installment plans. They can be use indepentently and can co-exist for one customer. You can use invoiced BBP items in an installment plan (because once invoices they are just open items). You can also cancel an installment plan and retrieve the original open items.
Hope this helps!

Promise to pay v/s Installment plan

Dear Experts,
Can you tell me whats the main difference between a Promise to pay and an Installment plan.
Specifically I am working with FI-CA (contract accounts). Enh.pac.II.
Rgs,

RBK,
Check the following links:
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_02/helpdata/en/46/5ee6cc9e8127c4e10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_02/helpdata/en/f3/07723521faee41e10000009b38f889/frameset.htm
It seems that one of the differences is that you can assign a dunning procedure to the Installment plan, but not to the Promise to pay.
Both the Installment plan and the Promise to pay can update the creditworthiness of the business partner.
The promise to pay can have several payment dates as the Installment plan.
You can evaluate level of fulfillment of the Promises to pay.

Installment Plan monthly charges

Hi, I saw there is an option to spread the charges on all months. But the monthly charge remains the same.
Is there a way to calculate for variable monthly charges based on certain formula and add that amount to the expected monthly installment amount?
Follow up question if its possible, is it also possible to display the 2 amounts (monthly installment amount and monthly charge) as 2 separate items in the customer's invoice?
Thanks and kind regards.

Hi ,
First of all there is no formula based insatllment charges in FICA in standard SAP .
It is either a one time or frequency based as per the installment type configuration .
IF you want a formula based then you will have to go for event 3032 where in you can change the installment charges .
Secondly , as you are talking of segregation then , in installment plans the Sub transaction for charges are diffrent as that of installments .
0080 - Main 0010 - sub = Installments .
0080 - Main 0020 and 0030 = Installment charges .
Hope this suffices .
Regards ,
Dewang T
