Hi,
During the milestone process, system will not consider the quantity and it consider either the percentage basis or fixed value basis by refering the net value of the document. This is standard SAP behaviour.
As your requirement to bill the customer both on percentage and quantity basis then
Try this
At the time of creation of billing doc through VF01, selection the selection list and try to change the quantity from 2 to 1 then check, if this is not working then
you need fulfill this through ABAP development.
1. Develop a screen and in this the coloumn as -
Sales Order Number (Non editable)
Line item(Non editable)
Quantity(Non editable)
Net Value of item (Non editable)
Mileston Percentage(Non editable)
Billing Value (Net Value * Percentage)
Quantity to Bill (Editable - user enters the quantity to bill)
Net Billing Value (Billing value * Quanity)
In down keep button as SAVE, the movement user click save then you need to run BDC for VF01 background to create billing for quanity to bill.

Billing plan: milestone billing problem.

I have the following scenerio:
Billing plan:
(Net value: 1000 euros)
- Milestone nº1 20% (percentage of value to be invoice). That is: -->200 euros
- Milestone nº2 30% --> 300 euros
- Milestone nº3 50% -->500 euros
I create first invoice for milestone 1 (that is: 200 euros).
Then, this sales order is modified, so net value is now 1100 euros.
If I don't do anything, the system changes my billing plan:
- Milestone nº2 30% --> 330 euros
- Milestone nº3 50% -->550 euros
but I have 20 euros left that has not been invoiced. I know I could change manually the billing rule and choose billing rule 3 "Closing invoice in milestone billing", but i would like the system to do it automatically. In explanation, the system should propose:
- Milestone nº2 --> 330 euros + 20 euros
-_Milestone nº3_--> 550 euros.
Is it possible? How should I proceed?

Hello Luis,
it is not possible to assign automatically the difference in the second billing plan line.
But you can make the system automatcially assigns to the last one.
Please set the last milestone billing plan line as closing invoice:
- Date description 0008
- Billing rule 3
Best regards,
Ivano.

Problem with milestone billing.

Hello Experts,
I need your precious help on milestone billing.
When we create the contract system automatically determine Billing plan in sales order
When I check the order and I found that at header level system does not show Billing value but at item level system shows Billing value while creation of sales order and this is creating the problem we have other Billing Plan type but we don't face such issues.
User wants system should show billing value at item level and header level as well automatically.
When this issue came I provide the temporary solution and ask user to set the check box Header Billing Plan check box at item level and once we set this check box than system shows the net value at header level as well shown in below screen shots.
Once I set the check box Header Billing Plan exist at item level in Billing plan tab then system shows the Billing value/ net value in at Header level as well. as below.
I have provided temporary solution but I don't have permanent solution user does not wants to set check box Header Billing Plan every time manually.
User wants, check box Header Billing Plan should be set by default so user no need to do any manual interruption in SO.
Kindly provide me your valuable inputs.
Thanks.

Hello Experts,

Please help me out.

Error while creating Credit Memo Request for Milestone billing invoice

Hi All,
I have a scenario where i have Milestone billing(% based) at header level in Contracts. I create Invoice for that and then try to create Credit Memo Request with reference to the Invoice.
Problem comes when we try to change the qty in the credit memo request. we are able to change the qty but the value is not changing. It remains the same constant value of that milestone.
In my copy control from Invoice to Credit memo request for the item category i have maintained the pricing type as "C" because i want to copy and manual conditions.
So kindly let me know which config setting should be done so that whenever i change the qty the value should also be changed.
Please Note : This is happening only when my billing plan is at header level. For Billing plan at Item level its working fine.....
Thanks.....

Hiiii.....
Can anyone please advise on the below issue of mine.....
Thanks alot for the help.......in advance

Milestone Billing - Block getting removed before full confirmation.

Hi friends,
i am facing a problem in Milestone billing.
I have attached a milestone to an activity.The milestone is considered in Sales order.
When the activity will be fully confirmed the BLOCK will get removed from the Sales Order & down payment can be made.
But the fact is when I am confirming the activity partially , the actual date is getting picked up in the milestone and the BLOCK is getting removed from the Sales Order.
If I remove the automatic tab from the confirmation in SPRO, then during confirming of the activity a pop-up is coming ' want to consider the actual date" . If I select NO then the actual date is not coming in the milestone. This case is OK. But the end-user wants it to be automatic.
How to prevent the actual date from getting picked up in the milestone till the activity is fully confirmed?
I have defined the Usage & considered "2" in S/F (Milestone at the end of the activity).
Thanks a lot.
Regards ,
Abhra Bose

Hi there,
I'm not sure if it solves the problem, but I have one remark. If you set the S/F value to 2 in SPRO it is only informative meaning. please see extract from SAP documentation:
+Milestone at the start or finish of an activity
This key determines whether the milestone should have the start date ot the finish date of an activity.
Dependencies
Please note that this key is not used in the extended milestone functions from Release 3.0. The key just helps you to edit milestones correctly, which were created before Release 3.0.+
What you need to do, is setting the offset directly in standard milestone in CN12 in block 'Offset to activity'.

Quantity Issue- Milestone Billing

i am doing milestone billing, where the scenario is , i hav to bill the amount in 3 stages.
30-30-40.
Here i am using the billing type F1
earlier when i was creating a invoice for the first time by default the system was taking total vaule of the invoice where it should take only 30% of the amount and 30% of the quantity
Total Qty =100       Billing Amount 50,000
As per break up it is
qty                 Amount                 invoice
30                  15000                      F1
30                 15000                           F1
40                  20000                      F1
Now the billing should happen in the same way where if i invoice the customer for the first time the ststem should take the quantity as 30 and the amount as 15000.
As told i change the the copy control setting for pricing type for sales-billing , so now the system is picking up 15000 as the value for the first billing .
BUT THE QUANTITY WHICH THE SYSTEM IS PICKING IS 100, where it should pick up- only 30.
plz guide me for the solution

Hi Rishi
Your requirement can be fulfilled through Down payment configuration
Check the down payment configuration , it will help you and it will solve your problem
item category group - 0005
item category - TAO
for this TAO item category a billing plan 01 (milestone billing plan -01) will be assigned and its billing relevance should be I which is order related billing .
billing doc type - FAZ
cancellation billing doc type - FAS
maintain a condition type AZWR which is down payment settlement , it has requirement as 2 and calc type as 48 acct key as ERL
Now when you enter a material in line item 10 and go to item data , you can see the billing plan tab.
now go to billing plan tab and enter the start date and enter the dates on which billing has to be done and then in billing request enter 0009 which is for down payment.once u press enter automatically it all the dates get blocked and billing request by default you get as 1 , that you change it to 4 or 5 . 4 is for down payment at value basis and 5 is for down payment at percentage basis. and beside that there will be a billing type .assign billing doc type as FAZ. to all dates
check the copying requirements are there at VTFA as 20 and for item category TAO copying requirements 23 is maintained or not
now do the cycle    OR - LF - FAZ (billing doc type)
NOTE : Make this configuration in the billing plan
Total Qty =100 Billing Net Amount 50,000
qty Amount invoice
30 15000     FAZ
30 15000     FAZ
40 20000       F1
Hope this will solve your problem

Milestone Billing for partial quantities

Hi,
My client is having Milestone billing schedule where in they bill their customers as per the billing schedule maintianed in the billing plan tab in sales order.
Billing plan is activated at Item level as the various items in a sales order can have different schedules.
But the issue is that they bill their customer on pro-rata basis which means the the billing document created for different milestones in the billing plan for each item can happen for partial quantities of the item under consideration.
Standard SAP Functionality doesnot allow this. In Copy Control, I tried out using the Invoice Split in Data Transfer Routine in Copy Control which doesnot give me the desired fucntionality.Copy Requirements Formula used is 023 (Item ord.ref. w/o AZ) as i need to create invoices for each milestones at item level which is working fine. But just that i cannot do milestone billing (for individial milestones at Item Level) for rpartial quantities. It can only happen for the entire order quantity.
In short the condition BIlling Quantity = Order Quantity - Invoiced Quantity is not working. Always Billing Quantity = Order quantity.
Delivery Related billing will not serve their purpose either...
Can any one throw some light on the above issue? Can I achieve the desired rersult using some custom routines?
Regards,
Nithin

Hi Navaneetha,
Thanks for your reply.
I do completely agree with you and informed the same to the client.
I have activated Billing plan at item level and each item is been assigned with different WBS Element and everything is working Fine except the fact that partial billing is not possible for the quantities.
Let me explain the business implications of the same.
My client might have a billing schedule with 4 milestones for an Item A of 100 Quantities in a Sales order
Milestone 1 : Upon the confirmation of Order Acceptance , they bill the customer for 10 %
Milestone 2 : Upon the completion of designing part, they bill the customer for another 20 %
Milestone 3 : Upon the dispatch of materials to the customer. they bill the customer for another 60 %
Milestone 4 : Upon the submission of the documents and completion the legal aspects, the final invoice for the 10 % which completes 100 % Milestone billing
Now here in the third milestone when the items are dispatched, they also need to create the excise invoice. here what they do is that they bill the customer for 60% of the net item value as explained above, but the taxes would be calculated for 100% net item value( VAT/CST & Excise Duties).and based on this commercial invoice, the excise document is created. I managed to map that. No problems
But their concern is with third milestone. Milestone 1, 2 & 4 will happen for the full 100 quantities. But for third milestone, let us say that they dispatched 90 quantities of the item and for some reasons they could not dispatch 10 nos of items. They are entitled to bill their customers for the 90 nos of the Item and the rest 10 Nos they will bill it as a different invoice. Now SAP Doesn't allow this.
One solution is to ask them to prepare Proforma/Commercial Invoice against the delivery Document and Excise Invoice against the invoice so created. But then it further complicates the process and already billing against billing plan is so complicated that they are complaining that their life was so easy before the implementation of SAP
They want some solution for this problem of theirs as when they mean one quantity of Item A, they mean some thing around 10-50 Crore Rupees.
There is one note released by SAP but that is restricted to versions below 4. 7 and become obsolete for higher versions.
Can any body help me out with this? How about possibility of a custom Routine in Copy Control or Data Transfer?
The problem is that the moment i activate an item category with billing plan, it deactivate the copy control setting for partial order billing.
Thanks & Regards,
Nithin Mohanan

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.

Calculate commission in Sales Order during milestone billing

Hi,
During milestone billing of a customer project, my client wants to track commission for engineers doing work on a project
but i'm not sure how to go about it. This is my scenario:
I have a fixed-price project of $200
The work is allocated to different engineers like so:
Engineer A is allocated 20% of the work on the project.... $200
Engineer B is allocated 30% of the work on the project .... $300
Engineer C is allocated 50% of the work on the project .... $500
The milestone billing is like so:
Bill the customer 25% during Phase 1 of the project (before any actual work is done)....$250
Bill the customer 50% during Phase 2 of the project ....$500
Bill the customer 25% during Phase 3 (final phase) of the project ...$250
During the lifetime of the project, the customer may get billed BEFORE any work has been done.
Or vice versa, the engineer may have done the work but my client hasn't billed the customer for that work.
However , if the engineer has done work for a particular month, my client needs to give him credit for the work that he has done (i.e. give him commission and pay him for it) EVEN if my client hasn't billed the customer for that work.
ex:
Month                               Bill customer                                             Allocated work (to Engineers)
June                                 $250 (Phase 1)                                        Engineer A does 20% of work....$200
July                                  $500 (Phase 2)                                        Engineer B does 30% of work....$300
August                              no billing                                                  Engineer C does 50% of work ......$500
September                       $250 (Phase 3)                                       no work to be done (project already finished)
total                                  $1000                                                       $1000
The problem is that i can only calculate the commission for an engineer during billing. BUT what happens when i haven't
billed the customer yet? I still want to give Engineer C credit for the work that he has done in August so that I can pay
him for his August work.
Thanks for your help in advance.

Dear Friend,
This can be done by configuring billing plan in SAP SD.

Milestone Billing, Billing date value exceeds Net Value

Hi all,
I have a issue related to Milestone Billing. Here billing dates are entered manually. Say for eg for Rs.1000, 4 billing dates will be entered for 25% based on completion of a project.
Now the problem here is , The net value will be 1000 [contract amount] but system is allowing to enter more than Rs.1000 in milestone billing dates. means i can enter more than 100%. how to restrict this. Do we need to use any user exit.? I have tried all standard ways.
Thanks & Regards
Praveen

Dear Praveen,
You can put a logic to compare the Total Value and also the individual milestone amount and trigger a error message while saving the sales order.
This seems the only way.
However lets wait for the experts to comment on this requirement.
Thanks & Regards,
Hegal K Charles

My phone is telling me there is a billing problem with a precious purchase and won't let me download or update anything even though the apps in trying to download are free and updates are free. And I only have one card so I can't update my payment info

My phone is telling me that I have a billing problem with a precious purchase but I only have one card so I can't update my payment information so I can't update anything or download anything. What should I do?

Are you aware of any problem with a previous purchase ? If not then you should contact iTunes Support and see if they can tell you what it is (until it's sorted you won't be able to download anything from the store) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
If you go into the payment details section on your account then does it say anything about your card being declined or not accepter or if the security code needs re-entering ?

I tried downloading a free app and it asked for my billing information and when i entered it, it says that there was a billing problem with a previoud purchase and i have to update it. I keep updating it and it wont let me verify it and i cant get apps

I tried downloading a free app and it asked for my billing information and when I entered it, it said that there was a billing problem with a previous purchase and I have to update it. I keep updating it and it wont let me verify it and I cant get any apps even if they are free, and I just Deleted some apps to make room for my new upate!

The message says: "The payment method has been denied, try another method"
I'm living in the same country and city since I was born, so I don't think the location is the problem.
And yes, I paid with the card a meal in Burguer King today. And nothing more.

When going to update it says there is a billing problem with the previous purchase, I went in to fix it but it won't let me download it. How do I fix this problem?

When going to update it says there is a billing problem with the previous purchase when I go to update it still won't let me download and all the info is correct. How do I fix this?

You have to email iTunes Store Support about this issue now. You can get started here. Change the country in the upper right if necessary.

I just recently purchased 3 songs from itunes not knowing that I had no money on my debit card (visa) left. My iphone wont let me update my apps and says that there was a billing problem with my last purchase. I dont know what I am supposed to do!

I just recently purchased 3 songs from itunes not knowing that I had no money on my debit card (visa) left. My iphone wont let me update my apps and says that there was a billing problem with my last purchase. I dont know what I am supposed to do! I dont understand why it worked in the first place when it wasn't supposed to!

There seems to be a billing problem with the iTS. I've been trying to make purchases today (Dec 9th) too and it reports either the iTS can not process payments or it says my card was declined. I even changed the payment method to Paypal (which is never declined) and still no go.
I don't think it is "you" but a problem at Apple. Some popular new apps were released recently like Logic Pro and perhaps they're getting bombarded as they did when Lion was released.
Wait a few hours and then try again.
