Milestone Billing Scenario

Hi All,
There is a scenario in which i need some guide how to procide.
scenario:-
there is a downpaymnet order in which the we will divide the totals sales value into 4 to 5 ways like as follows it is related to partial delivery scenario.
10% on first downpaymnet
30% on first goods delivery
40% on second goods delivery &
20% on third goods delivery
So the total sales value is divided according to the partial delivery, can any one help me on the configuration of this scenario.
Regards,
Subhrangshu

You can have milestone billing plan either at Header or Item level of the desired sales doc type.
Have look on following SPRO path for configuration related to Milestone - Billing Plan
SPRO - Sales and Distribution - Billing - Billing Plan
Refer following link on Milestone Billing Configuration for understanding/reference:

  • Standard Report for Down Payment Requests of Milestone Billing

    Hi Experts,
    Is there any Standard SAP Report for Downpayment Requests of Milestone Billing. Where I can view all the downpayment requests for the customers in Milestone Billing Scenario.
    I have searched but I'm getting report for Vendors downpayment requests in transaction code FBL1N.
    Kindly help to get me this report.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Regards,
    Avinash

    Hello,
    you can use transaction VF04 to get the list of the downpayment requests to be made, and VF05N for the list of downpayment requests already made (using the proper SD invoice document as selection criteria): this is from an SD point of view.
    From an FI point of view transaction FBL5N could help you. Also F-29, as already mentioned, since it provides the list of downpayments to be cleared for a customer.

  • 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

  • Down Payment processing for Sales orders using Milestone Billing Plan

    Hi,
    The business scenario is as follows.
    The delivery for the sales orders are to be created only after the pre payment( a percentage of the total sales order value) is made by the customer.
    Hence the sales orders while creation are blocked for delivery creation using credit block by means of a userexit.
    The credit manager checks the blocked sales orders using VKM1 transaction and verify if there are any payments made by the customer to cover this pre payment to be made.
    If it is enough to cover then he releases the sales order manually for delivery creation.This is a complex process since there are too many sales orders and the payments made by the customer may not match the amount to be paid(it can be greater or lesser).The customer just pays a huge amount which is to be distributed among the sales orders for pre payments.
    Later, when the invoice is created, the customer account is cleared manually using F-32 transaction for the oldest open invoices.
    Here again there is a huge manual effort involved since he need to distribute the amount against the invoices using oldest open item principle.
    As a solution we are planning to implement "Down Payment processing for Sales orders using Milestone Billing Plan".
    Is this the right solution?
    Can you please give the steps in detail to implement this functionality for above scenario?
    We are using SAP 4.7 version without Project Systems.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Milestone Billing Plan issue

    Hi all,
    I have a scenario of project sales. The billing will be order based - 50% after order confirmation, 40% after delivery & 10% after installation & testing.
    I am using milestone billing plan for my project sales. I am not using the project system. I have created the billing plan in the following way:
    1. Define billing plan types. I have copied from standard billing plan 01 & saved as Z type.
    2. Define date descriptions. I have created 3 different date descriptions - a) Order confirmed, b) Delivery done, c) Installation & testing done.
    3. Define & assign date categories. I created 3 different entries. First for the down payment at the time of order confirmation........i used the date description as down payment. The billing rule selected was "Down payment in milestone billing on percentage basis". The fixed date selected was "Fixed date, date not copied from milestone". The billing block selected was "calculation missing". The billing type selected was "FAZ".
    For the second part (40% after delivery) I used the date description as delivery done. The billing rule selected was "Milestone billing on a percentage basis". The fixed date selected was "Fixed date, date not copied from milestone". The billing block selected was "calculation missing". The billing type selected was "FV".
    For the third part (10% after installation) I used the date description as installation done. The billing rule selected was "Closing invoice in milestone billing". The fixed date selected was "Fixed date, date not copied from milestone". The billing block selected was "calculation missing". The billing type selected was "FV".
    4. Maintain date proposals. I maintain 3 different dates with an interval of 5 days. For first step i selected the date description as "order confirmation"......billing % as 50%........selected the block......billing relevance as down payment on % basis.........payment term..........billing type as FAZ.
    For second step i sselected the date description as "delivery done".......billing % as 40%........selected the block........billing relevance as "Milestone billing on a percentage basis".......payment term........billing type as FV.
    For third step i selected the date description as "installation done"......billing % as 10%.......selected the block..........billing relevance as "Closing invoice in milestone billing".......payment term......billing type as FV.
    5. Assign billing plan types to sales document types....I assigned the billing plan to the sales doucment for project sales.
    6. Assign billing plan types to item categories.....I assigned the billing plan to the item category of the project item....with billing relevance as "I-Order-relevant billing - billing plan".....billing plan as the milestone billing plan.
    Copy controls: I maintained the copy control settings in VTFA.......sales order to billing document type FAZ & FV as well. In the transaction code VOV8 for the sales order document type I maintained the order related billing type as FV.
    Now I created a project sales order.......the system displayed the billing plan tab......the milestones were shown but the data regarding the billing percentage.......payment terms.........billing relevance.....was not shown. I entered all the details......with the document types as
    FAZ
    FV
    FV.
    I removed the block from the first milestone......down payment.
    Now i created an invoice in VF01......selected the order number for reference......the system created 2 invoices.......1 for the down payment request & the other contract invoice. The down payment request had the correct amount but the contract invoice did not display any value.......
    How should i correct the settings so the system will only create the relevant invoice......
    With best regards,
    Niyaz.

    Hi,
    You have done a good job.
    Enter different dates in sales order for each Milestone and assign billing block save the sales order.
    Goto change sales order, remove the block for one billing date.
    In billing screen, enter sales order no. don't press enter
    Click on Selection date (Shift+F7) enter the date range and press enter. you will get only first billing that is 50%.
    Actually we are using PS, milestones and billing dates will be copied from there.

  • Milestone Billing based on Percentage & Quantity

    Hi,
    Can you please guide how to map the following scenario
    I have Business Scenario in Milestone Billing.
    The Milestone terms are assigned in CJ20N and the same is copies to
    sales order. The Milestone terms defined in the Project are
    50% Advance Payment
    40% Agaisnt Supply (Treating this also as advance)
    10% At the time of Installation.(Treat this also as advance)
    50% Revenue Realisation
    50% Revenue Realisation
    Order quantity is 100RMT
    Order Value 10000
    The definition of the each milestone is as follows -
    Advance Payment: This Milestone raised at the time of booking of sales
    order for Advance Payment. Unless advance is receivd orders are not
    execute in the business. It means 50% of 10000 = 5000
    40% Agaisnt Supply : This Milestone is raised based on supply of
    material to the customer. It means as of Milestone Billing Date if
    material dispatched is 20MT then the Milestone Billing Booked in the
    system is 10000*40% *20/100= 800 (treat this also as advance payment
    and client called it as Running Bill) and the same way book the billing
    in the system upto completion of 100RMT.
    At the time of Installation: This Milestone is raised when the
    Installation process is starts. It mean example, if finish the
    Installation of 10RMT, then the Milestone Billing is raised as per
    below formula - 1000010%10/100 =100 (Treat this also as Advance
    Payment and call it as Running Bill).
    Actual revenue is booked in the system, once receive the completion
    certificate from the client.
    As of now in the system, only accept the value base or percentage base
    milestones in the system. This type of above scenario how to map in
    the system, can please propose a solution.
    Kindly help me
    Regards
    Goutham

    hi Goutham,
    you need to configure your item categories for revenue recognition based on milestones. Thus, what happens then is you are separating revenues and billing. You can continue billing your customer for whatever milestones you have 50/40/10%, and the revenue can be recognized on the completion of the final milestone.
    For customizing revenue recognition type on item category level go to
    Sales and Distribution -> Basic Functions -> Account assignment / Costing ->
      Revenue Recognition, Or via transaction: OVEP.
    Set Revenue recoginition as Category ‘A’ timebased revenue recognition
    and Accrual period start as B -proposal based on billing plan start date
    in a milestone billing plan, the billing date of the first milestone is then taken as accrual start date.
    You can work on the latest version of the Revenue Recognition Best Practices Guide. The link can be found in note 779365.
    Thanks

  • Milestone billing is possible eventhough billing status is blocked.

    Hi,
    The scenario is like: I create a sales order for a configurable material which requires to create sales order BOM. Now when I save the sales order, delivery block status and billing block status are shown as 'blocked'. Its obvious as I haven't yet created sales order BOM and run the costing for the same.
    But still I am able to do the milestone billing after removing billing block from the billing plan.
    Is it the standard SAP functionality or defect in the system?

    Hi
    it is standard SAP functionality, based on the sales document type it will happen.
    cheers

  • Milestone Billing Structure

    Dear PS Experts,
    We have real estate projects (Customer projects), and one typical structure is we have a housing complex project of 100 villas. (We are in process of implementing PS but all other SAP modules like FI/CO, MM, SD, PM, PP, QM etc are existing.)
    Now after construction or during construction phase itself, these villas need to be sold through SD sales where following selling scenarios exists.
    1. Each villa separately sold to individual customer. 1 S/O per Villa.
    2. One S/O with multiple villas (Each villa is line item in S/O)
    Here while I structure the project, I considered, two structures as follows,
    1. 100 Villa project with project definition ABC/20014/PJ01. One main WBS with 100 WBS under that. Each of this WBS represent one villa and S/O will be assigned with this WBS.
    2. 100 Villa project with project definition ABC/20014/PJ01. One main WBS with 4-5 WBS under that (1. Engineering & design 2. Land preperation 3. Construction etc..) and each villa is represented as a network & S/O will be assigned to main WBS and each S/O item will be assigned to these corresponding network of 100.
    I would like to hear from you the best possible solutions.
    Please share your ideas.
    Regards,
    VINOD.V

    Hi Vinod,
    I would suggest you to go with one sales order and One Project for each villa
    because sales order is specific to one customer ( one sold to and one ship to)
    in the Project you can structure one WBS at Header as Billing element and assign below to it subsequent WBS such as (land acquisition, Engineering, design, construction and miscellaneously) and this individual WBS will in turn have networks and activities based on the phase.
    Finally post the actual cost to Each of the WBS and settle to Main WBS
    Assign this main WBS to each sales order at line item level to populate actual cost to sales order line using DP91
    if you have Milestone billing , you can configure Sales order line item with Billing plan and get 20% as down payment from customer, before you release Project and bill respectively
    hope this is useful
    thanks

    hi vinz,
    in your milestone billing are you using the same billing doc type for the initial 50% and the remaining terms or you are using different billing types. if you using the same billing type can you use a different billing type for the initial 50% and do an order related billing for the same and check
    please let me know if it works
