Order related billing of services with very high volumes

Hi,
does anyone has experience with very large invoices? We already have large invoices in SD (up to 42.000 items) and this works fine. Due to business requirements this number will increase. We calculated the following volumes for the future:
max. # of invoice items per invoice:          250.000
total # of invoice items per month:        27.000.000
total # of invoices per month:                 40.000
We assume that we will run into problems with this volume, so it would be nice if anyone else has done this before so that we can share the experiences.
Best regards
Hans Schmill

Hi,
Just be careful with your Invoice number range
Rest hope for the best

Hi
You can make the control setting as to whether the invoice receipt quantity or the goods receipt quantity should be relevant for billing in the copy control for billing on the item level in the billing quantity field.
In Customizing, choose Sales and Distribution -> Billing -> Billing documents -> Maintain Copying Control for Billing Documents -> Copying Control: Delivery to Billing Document -> Item, then select an item category.
Thanks & Regards

Normal Sales Order Cycle for Order Related Billing:-
Step 1: Sales Document Type
IMG > Sales and Distribution > Sales > Sales Documents >
Sales Document Header:
1. Sales Document Type:The sales document types represent the different business transactions, such as Inquiry, Quotation, Sales Order, etc. To create new sales order type, always copy as with reference to similar sales order. If possible use standard sales order.
2. Define Number Ranges For Sales Documents: Maintain number range with discussion with core team.
3. Assign Sales Area To Sales Document Types:
A. Combine sales organizations / Combine distribution channels / Combine divisions: Ensure to maintain these, else Sales Order creation will give error.
B. Assign sales order types permitted for sales areas: Assign only required Sales Order Types to required Sales Area. This will minimize selection of Sales Order Type as per sales area.
Sales Document Item:
1. Define Item Categories: If possible use Standard Item Category. Incase if required to create new, copy as from standard & maintain New.
Check Billing relevance for Item Category being used
2. Assign Item Categories: If possible, use standard. Formula for deriving item category: Sales Document Type + Item Category Group + Usage + Higher Level Item Category = Item Category
For Order-Related-Billing, use Item Category TAD & Item Category Group in Material Master as LEIS.
Schedule Line:
1. Define Schedule Line Categories: If possible use Standard Schedule Lines. Incase if required to create new, copy as from standard & maintain New.
2. Assign Schedule Line Categories: If possible, use standard. Formula for deriving Schedule Line: Item Category + MRP Type / No MRP Type.
Step 2:
IMG > Sales and Distribution > Billing >
1. Define Billing Types: If possible use Standard Billing Type. Incase if required to create new, copy as from standard & maintain New.
2. Define Number Range For Billing Documents: Ensure to maintain number range.
3. Maintain Copying Control For Billing Documents: Maintain relevant copy controls such as Sales Order to Billing, Deliver to Billing, etc.
Note: Ensure that Copy Control settings are done

Regards
BK GAIKWAD

Sir,
We have make the supplementary Invoice (Debit Note) as per below process
1) Create sales order_VA01
2) Create billing document_VF01_with reference to sales order
3) Create Excise Invoice With J1IS (Other Movement) It is manually job & due to heavy work load (create 200 invoice per day) it is not possible to do manually.
Hence we want to create excise Invoice with J1IIN instead of J1IS, any alternative solution for that?

I am receiving bills from my carrier with very high data usage. I read books from apple store. Do ibooks use gb once purchased?

I am receiving bills from my carrier with very high data usage. I read books from apple store. Do ibooks use gb once purchased?

To reduce data usage, you should put iPad on Aeroplane Mode to stop all background activities when not using iPad.

Order related Billing with Billing Plan

Hi Gurus,
I have a scenario in which I have to create an Order Related Billing Document.
I have the following settings for Item category in VOV7:
SD Item Cat: ZFCI
Billing Relevance:I
Special Stock:W
Billing Plan:ZP
When I save the Sales Order, I expect this sales document number to be present in Billing Due List (VF04).
Could you please help me in resolving this scenario.
Regards,
Oritra

Hi Laura,
Thanks a lot for your reply. Seems like there is some issue in calculating the Net Value in Billing Plan tab. When I see Condition tab, I am able to see the value (Attached Screenshot of Condition TAB).
Could you please guide me, what needs to be done so that "Net Value" gets populated in "Billing Plan" tab.
regards,

One Billing Document with Delivery- and Order-Related billing items

We wish to include both delivery-related and order-related billing items in a single billing document. Is that possible using configuraiton? We have seen some forums indicate it is not possible without ABAP.
Thanks SAP gurus!

Bradley,
I still think this is possible.
Delivery related billing or order related billing is decided by the configuration of billing relevance in the Item category. So if those things are properly configured, it should be possible to include delivery related items and order related items together in one invoice document.
When you do that, you have to ensure that the item categories are relevant for either delivery related billing or order related billing.
Then in copy control, only order related I.Cs shoudl be configured in VTFA and only delivery related I.Cs should be configured in VTFL. There should not be any mix up in this configuration. If there is any mix up, then it may cause problems.
If these two configurations are done, it is possible. You may also note that in VF01, it asks only for documents, not specifically deliveries or orders. So it is possible in standard SAP itself. Please configure it and try it.

Order-related billing and Dlv-related Billing in single Invoice

Say in a single order or order type say OR there can be two materials with different item categories say TAN and ZTAN.
TAN with billing relevance as A( delivery related billing) and ZTAN with billing relevance as B (order related billing )
If that happens the billing will be split
In VOV8 we mention for OR the order related billing as F1 and delivery related billing as F2 in the billing tab
Now in billing TAN will pick F2 as it is delivery related billing
and
ZTAN will pick F1 as it is order related billing.
Now my question:
In VOV8, i maintained OR order type for Order-realted Billing as F2 and Delivery-related Billing as F2 as well.
Then will there still be an billing split ? There will be two F2 invoices TAN will pick one F2 invoice and ZTAN will pick another F2 invoice...?
And i want to know whether this an right way of doing things?? IF not, what is the right way of doing things?
Thank you very much.

Hello,
Yes that is the right way.
You can create Single Invoice for Order Related Items & Delivery Related Items.
E.g. You are Selling Air Conditioner & also installing the same at Customer Location. Now you will Invoice the Customer for Air Conditioner & Installation in the same Billing Correct? Now Air Conditioner is Delivery Related Billing & Installation is Order Related Billing.
It is in such scenario Order Releted & Delivery Related Items can be Invoiced in same Billing Document.
While create Invoice enter the Delivery Number & the Sales Order Number, select both the LIne Items & Execute... You will see the system will pick items from both Order & Delivery.
Hope this helps,
Thanks,

Resource related billing and service quotation

Dear gurus,
can anyone explain the process of resource related billing and service quotation in step by step.
if possible mail me the screen shots also in this email-id
[email protected]

hi,
Maintaining Profiles for Sales Order and Billing Request
Use
The Dynamic Item Processor (DIP) profile defines and controls resource-related quotation and billing for service orders and sales documents. It may be maintained in either the Customer Service or the Sales and Distribution section of the IMG. The DIP profile allows flexible determination and translation of actual labor, material and other costs into sales materials for appropriate pricing and billing.
DIP profiles BC10 is used exclusively in the value chain for time and material project.
Integration
The DIP profile functionality is closely integrated with the controlling module for the processing of cost objects into sales materials.
Prerequisites
Relevant sales document types, condition records, sales materials have been created.
Procedure
Access the activity using one of the following navigation options:
IMG Menu Project System ® Revenues and Earnings ® Integration with SD documents ® Creating Quotations and Project Billing ® Maintain Profiles for Quotations and Billing
Transaction Code ODP12.
Activities:
In the configuration item Profiles for Sales Order, Billing, Results Analysis, choose profiles BC12.
The DIP profile can be used for processing resource-related billing and results analysis, as well as for generating resource-related quotations. To do so, sales document types must be defined for each usage. Access the Usage section of the profile and maintain the following entries:
DI Usage SD Ty BC12
1 Billing & Results Analysis Z2TC
all other fields leave blank
Access the characteristics section of each profile. The characteristics are the objects which the system will take into consideration when processing and displaying resource-related billing. For both billing and order usages, set the characteristics as follows (note that other settings are automatically defaulted in by the system):
Characteristic Charact
Relevant Material Determ NoSummarizat. Structuring Sequence
Z2TC
Accounting Indicator X
Activity Type X X X
Object number X
Period X
Transaction Currency X X
Unit of Measure X X
all other fields leave blank
The sources section determines what type of costs will be selected by the DIP profile for each usage. More detailed selection criteria are available, but not maintained in this setting. Access the sources section of each profile and maintain the following entries:
Line Source Percentage
1 0001 Actual Cost - Line 100
Access the material determination and criteria sections of the profile. Material determination defines the sales materials that costs will be converted into. The criteria defines cost element groups (cost elements are determined from the labor activity type or the component account assignment) that correspond to each material. For both billing and quotation usages, define material determination as follows:
Material/Service Material Determination:
Transfer Quantity/Costs Material Determination:
Conversion Quantity Criteria:
Activity Type
Z2TC
I00342 X (Transfer Cost & Qty) Checked
I00984 X Checked
all other fields leave blank
To confirm that all entries and settings in the DIP profiles are consistent, go to the configuration item check profile settings. Enter the DIP profile and execute. Green traffic lights should be displayed next to all items for both usages. Otherwise, determine the inconsistency and make the necessary correction.
Go through t.code DP90
1.U will get "resource related billing request initial screen.
2.U enter ur "Srevice order", then select "Expences" button.
3.u get " Billing request for resource related billing document" Here the columns for "Open amt" and "Amt. to billed" equal the transactions that have posted to the project and have not been billed. To continue, press the "Billing request " button. The system will ask you if you really want to do this -- say "yes"
Then u will get the overview screen.
Link service order to a quotation thru transaction DP90. The quotation will be created with reference to the service order. The business scenario is that you are creating a quotation for the job to be done. The line items in the quotation are based on resources and materials planned in service order.

Order related billing for manufacturing

Can anybody explain to me the effects of order-related billing in manufacturing? What if deliveries is not the same as sales order. Or should i just make another order type for this?
Thanks in advance!

Dear Joker,
-->Why you want to go for sales order related billing with out delivery reference !!
-->Are you not creating any delivery after sales order !!
-->Delivery is entirely different from sales order.
-->As per the satnsard service related activities will be billed with reference to the sales order because here there will not be any physical movement of goods.
-->When ever there is physical movements of the goods you need to create delivery.
-->When ever there is delivery you better to create billing document with reference to the delivery.
I hope this will help you,
Regards,
Murali.

Please help me to resolve this issue, your suggestions will be highly appreciated.

2) during copy control VTFA, see whether ur item category is proposed and if it is there, check the billing qty field.
3) also check ur copying requirements
Please check and let me know,

Order related billing reference sales document line items

Hello Experts,
Is it possible to create an order related billing document to invoice by line items of the sales document? If yes, how can I do this?
Here is the scenario. I am using the service contract order type in which each line item represent a milestone (copied from the billing plan) for a project on which a network is assigned. I need to create invoices for the due milestones and their dates. Currently my invoice is picking the milestone with the latest date which is not what I want.
Please help.
Luqman

Hi Krishna,
I have done that but it is not working. I made all configs and assignments for the billing plan type, order type and item categories but the invoice is still billing for line items with billing block on.
Any idea on what I need to do again or what I may have missed?
Thanks

Order Related Billing for In-House Repair

Has anyone figured out how to get order-related billing to work in the In-House Repair order when used with ERP billing?
Your responses are greatly appreciated.

Hi Peter,
What I understand from your query is you want to do Billing in ECC of the in-house repair order. Kindly Confirm.
If yes, follow these steps:
In standard scenario external billing works with
u2022     Service contracts
u2022     Service orders
u2022     Service confirmations
Prerequisites
1.     Synchronization of Master Data
2.     Synchronization of Pricing Conditions
3.     Customizing of Controlling Objects in SAP ERP
4.     Customizing of service transactions in SAP CRM
5.     Customizing of sales orders in SAP ERP
6.     Mapping of transaction data between SAP CRM and SAP ERP
Customizing
In order to perform external billing of the service order materials, following configurations are to be done:
1.     Create a Service order Transaction
2.     Create an Item category - Putting Billing reference External Billing
3.     Maintain Item Category Determination
4.     Replicate the controlling relevant characteristics
5.     Create the ERP Order Type- Tcode VOV8- SD Doc Category should be L.
6.     Create the ERP Item category- Tcode VOV7 - Billing reference C
7.     Maintain Item category Determination (ERP)
8.     Maintain Mapping of transactions and item categories
Settings for Service Processing  Billing Integration  Map Transaction Types and Item Categories
When you set the status to complete, it triggers a debit memo request in ECC, with which ECC Billing can be performed.

Shalini Chauhan

Excluding order-related billing from credit check

We have service contracts with billing plan that is order related. We found that during the dynamic credit checks, the system will include the full amount of these contracts and therefore, every time we create a new ordersfor these customers, the orders are put on hold.
I believe that it is standard SAP to include the contracts full amount in credit checks, but does anybody know of a workaround? The main issue is we already have more than 1200 contracts in the system which are valid for another 4-5 years, so we are looking for a solution that will be 'retroactive'.
thank you.

Hello,
The value of the open invoices will be always taken in account during the
standard dynamic credit check in R/3. Althrough you can swith off the
dynamic credit check for the order-related billing- you need to develop
your routine, which will be put in the field no_check in the
transaction OVA8. Please review the note 895630.
The another posssibility could be to develop your own credit check
(user1 user2 or user3 in the transaction OVA8) for the CRM sales
orders.
Kind regards,
Zsuzsanna
