Milestone Billing

Dear Experts,
I'm interested to know whether DIP profile is mandatory to bill customer projects through milestone billing & sales order?
I never experienced customer projects and in capital projects, customer billing was not there.
So if we can bill without DIP profile, how can we do?
Waiting for your valuable suggestions
Regards,
VINOD.V.

Hi Vinod,
Milestone billing and RRB are two different concepts and RRB need not do anything with MS billing.
In Milestone billing, following are the configurations which need to be done.
You should have a Billing Plan with Milestone billing in SD with relevant date categories, etc and this Billing plan should be assigned to the relevant item category
From PS, you will have basic PS configuration entries followed by Milestones, with the usages etc.
Also some transactional projects, WBS elements or networks with Milestones enabled in either WBS or in Network activities.
These milestones should be Billing relevant milestones (Sales Document Date check box ticked on)
Now the sales order items should have account assignment object as WBS element.
If these set ups are available, then it is possible to have MS billing. When activities are confirmed in Network, billing is activated for the relevant milestones.
Having said these, it is also possible to have a simplified version of Milestone billing without Project System, just by enabling a MS billing plan. But here all the billing plan records need to be manually managed with billing block etc....
This is only a basic tip to explore further. If we shoudl enable the complete MS billing with PS, you will also need help from a PS consultant.
You can do MS billing very well without DIP profile
Hope this helps

How to calculate milestone percentage for final milestone (billing rule 3)

Hi,
Client is using percentage based milestone billing. For final milestone, billing rule is set to "3 Closing invoice in milestone billing" and milestone percentage, field FPROZ, is empty without any value.
My aim is to calculate final milestone percentage, so it would be printed on invoice layout.
I have suggested below logic to developer:
"If RV60F-SFPRO field is not equal to 0,00 (zero), pass billing plan VBRP-FPLNR and item numbers VBRP-FPLTR into FPLT table to get FPLT-FPROZ"
But developer can't find RV60F-SFPRO value anyway...
Therefore, I have a problem - how to calculate final milestone percentage in this case?
Could anyone provide any other logic how to calculate it?

Percentage can't be added into final milestone in SO billing plan, field FPROZ is not editable....
Moreover, this milestone just have billing value in SO billing plan.
I am going to use this logic that hopefully would fix the issue:
If invoice billing type VBRP-FKART value is XXX and billing plan rule FAREG value is 1, or 3, or 4, or 5, then milestone percentage should be calculated by following formula: milestone billing value x 100 and then divided by order net value from VBAP-NETWR.
If invoice billing type XXX, but billing plan rule is different then, no milestone percentage is not printed. This logic is valid for header and item level billing.

Periodic billing and Milestone billing

Dear SD gurus,
Can anybody explain what is Periodic billing and Milestone billing?
If you have the configuration guide for the above, please send the same to my email id : [email protected]
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Milestone billing means distributing the total amount to be billed over multiple billing
dates in the billing plan.
As each milestone is successfully reached, the customer is billed either a percentage of
the entire project cost or simply a pre-defined amount.
During sales order processing, the system determines from the item category whether a
billing plan is required and, if so, which type of plan
The type of billing plan that is determined at this point is set up in Customizing and
cannot be changed in the sales document.
Billing plans for periodic billing and milestone billing plans for project-related milestone
billing have different overview screens so that you can enter data relevant to your
processing.
For example, for milestone billing, you must be able to enter data to identify the
individual milestones.
IMG configuration requires :-
1. Maintain billing plan types for milestone billing in OVBO.
2. Define date description in SM30 - V_TVTB.
3. Maintain Date Category for Billing Plan Type IN OVBJ.
4. Allocate date category in SM30 - V_TFPLA_TY.
5. Maintain date proposal for Billing Plan Type in OVBM.
6. Assign Billing Plan Type to Sales Documents Type in OVBP.
7. Assign Billing Plan Type to Item Categories in OVBR.
8. Define rules for determining the date in OVBS.
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.
The connection between the project and the sales document item is made in the individual
schedule lines of the item. Each schedule item can be assigned to a network in a project.
To display the project-related data for a schedule line, proceed as follows:
In one of the overview screens of the sales document, select
1. Item -> Schedule lines.
2. Mark the schedule line and select Procurement details.
The following figure shows an example of milestone billing where only the Contract have
been billed :
Order Item Turbine 100,000
Billing Plan
Billing date Description % Value Billing Block Milestone Billing Status
01-10-94 Contract 10 10,000 - x x
01-03-95 Assembly 30 30,000 x x
01-04-95 Maintenance 30 30,000 x x
01-05-95 Acceptance 30 30,000 x x
01-06-95 Final invoice .. .. x
Network/Activities
Milestone Estimate Actual
Assembly 01-03-95 01-03-95
Maintenance 01-04-95
Acceptance 01-05-95
For each billing date in a milestone billing plan, you can specify whether the billing
date is:
1. fixed
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
reward points if it helps

How to club the downpayment and periodic billing scenario in Sales Order

Hi experts,
Could you please let me know how to club the downpayment and periodic billing scenario in Sales Order.
Requirement is : If you have 10 lacs total amount and out of that 50% should be the downpayment and rest of the amount should be distributed among three equated instalments for 2 months each (periodic billing). This should work with one line item in sales order. Pls provide relevant inputs how to work out this scenario.
Your help would be appreciable.
regards....Diwakaran

Hi Yang,
Workflow is the best approach for any issue related to business objects.
Since you want call FM BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE, it will change SO. It means everytime any SO is changed there will an event being triggered.
object type: BUS2032
event: Changed
simple solution:
1. Please create object type (SWO1) and its super type should be BUS2032.
2. Add your own method and attach your custom FM which actually updates the qty & PR)
3. Create Task (PFTC_INS)
in basic data:
- provide object type which you have created
- provide method which you have added
goto triggering events tab
- Choose Object Category as BOR object type
- provide object type (better give BUS2032)
- provide event as CHANGED
Please have look into very nice video blog which helps you to create your workflow.

Diffe b/w periodic nad milestone billing? with examples

diffe b/w periodic nad milestone billing? with exaamples

Hi,
The best example for periodic billing is monthly rent.
Every month you will be giving a fixed amount for a period of time ( 4500/- per month for 2 years).
In the case of mile stone billing:
Example is a software project. The project will be devided into several stages 'milestones'.(preparation, development, testing, execution)
The project cost will be devided into these stages. When each milestome is reached, the amount will be billed.
Hope you are clear with the basic differences of these two.

System does not allow you to exit untill u complete 100% billing in sales order.
Kindly put some valuable inputs.

You can create activities for each task and attach milestone on it. when you complete the task confirm the activity so system will automatically confirm milestone as well, which will remove the billing block.

Scheduling agreement with Delivery and Periodic billing

Hi Gurus
Can anybody suggest the process if available, having scheduling agreement -
delivery --- and periodic billing.
Thanks
MM

Hi there,
Is is possible. Define a scheduling aggrement with mentioning the required delivery dates. This will convert as schedule lines.
When the item is due, delivery will be created.
Define a periodic billing type & assign it to your billing type. Define the validity period for your periodic billing.
Make sure you define the copy controls from delibery - invoice.

Milestone billing, the system only allows pricing types D, G and K

Hi,
I would like to use pricing type as C Copy manual pricing elements and redetermine the others for Mile stone billing item catagory.(VTFA copy control setup)
While changing pricing type from G to C in copy control VTFA - ITEM LEVEL, i am getting this beow warning message.
Milestone billing, the system only allows pricing types D, G and K
Could you tell what is impact of this warning message?
Best Regards,
Chandramohan

Read OSS Note 102961 - New pricing type for milestone billing plans.
It looks it used to be error message, until version 4.5A.
This is just to make sure that the cost conditions are adjusted to the billing percentage rate. By keeping value K you can achieve this.
