Periodic Billing: Invoicing with VF01 vs VF04
Hello,
I have created a basic billing plan for a rental contract. The contract is for 12 months (01.01.-31.12.2011)
Billing date is at month end. Billing plan type is 02 = periodic and does NOT have a billing block assigned to it.
Now I would like to create an invoice with VF01 for the month of January i.e. I go into VF01 and put in billing date 31.01.2011 but the system gives me all 12 items.
When I use VF04 and also enter billing date to 31.01.2011 it gives me only the first invoice for January (which is correct).
Why is the functionality in VF01 different to VF04? Why does VF01 not pull in the first item only (even though I enter billing date 31.01.2011)?
What am I doing wrong here?
Thanks in advance.
Hello,
the field 'Billing date' in first screen of VF01 is the Default billing date, it is not a selection criteria.
To select by billing date in VF01 select menu Settings > Selection date.
Best regards,
Ivano.

Self billing invoice with input tax code
Hello experts,
we are currently trying to implement a billing procedure with credit memos within the module SD. In this set-up the recipient of a service (company using the SAP) creates a credit memo for the renderer of a service (a debitor in SAP) showing the amount the recipient of the service/product has to pay. The credit memo will also show VAT (we currently only try to implement a process for transaction within Germany, no cross-border transactions yet). For the recipient of the service (= issuer of the credit memo) the credit memo is similar to an incoming invoice (self billing invoice). Hence, the shown VAT on this credit memo - if all other requirements are met - can be treated as deductible input tax.
In order to automatically process the credit memo correctly as incoming invoice it has to be linked to a tax code (Steuerkennzeichen) with tax type "V" (=input tax) (Vorsteuerkennzeichen). To achieve that we have created a new condition record (Konditionssatz) that performs that task.
So currently we create a credit memo request (Gutschriftsanforderung) which is linked to an input tax code (Vorsteuerkennzeichen) via mentioned condition record. We then create the billing document. During creating the billing document an accounting document should also be created. But that is where our approach does not work properly. The system creates a billing document (credit memo) but does not create the corresponding accounting document. We receive the error message:
Document .... saved (no accounting document generated)
Message no. VF050
When trying to release the document to FI via Transaction VF02 we receive the following, more detailed error message:
Only output tax is allowed for account 480000 1000, VZ is not allowed
Message no. FS215
This problem has to be somehow linked to the usage of an input tax code. If we perform the same procedure with an output tax code (Ausgangsteuerkennzeichen) we will not receive the error message and an accounting document is created.
It seems that the account determination is responsible for the described problem: Although an input tax code is assigned, the account key (as shown in the overview to the applied conditions on the items within the credit memo request (Item - Condition - Detail)) does not change from "MWS" to "VST" and therefore an output tax account (Account Number 480000) is determined for the tax amount. And for that output tax account the usage of an input tax code is not allowed.
Has anyone an idea how to solve the described problem or how to implement the billing procedure another way?
We are aware that there is such a functionality within the module MM called "Evaluated Receipt Settlement (ERS)" but this is not suitable for our purposes since we want to implement this within SD and without the need to create an order first which seems to be necessary for ERS.
Thanks for your help,
BerndHi
Please check in FS00, of that G/L account in control data tab what is the Tax Category that has been maintained.Check wheather input tax/output tax has been maintaind or not
In FS00 in the control tab check the box Posting without tax allowed

Post billing invoice with different profit center for specific cond. type
Hi Expert,
I have requirement where for each item in the sales order, when the user create the billing document, the accounting document generated need to use one specific profit center on specific condition type.
For example, my order profit center in the account assignment is PC1 (derived from material) and it has 2 condition type, Z1 and Z2.
Currently for this condition type will be posted to 2 different GL account. (Configured in account determination)
Going forward, the plan is to use same GL account for Z1 and Z2 but specific for Z2 should use different profit center (not taken from account assignment profit center).
Is this possible and if it is may I know the best way to achieve it?
Thank you before.Hi
First of all check with the Controlling team wheather profit center can be assigned to the Z2 condition type only.If it is not possible then you assign a new subroutine to Z2 condition type with the help of ABAP team

Single Invoice with reference to 2 Sales Order
Hi,
How can i make a single billing invoice no (vf01) with reference to 2 sales order?
billing plan has been maintained from each sales order,we dont have any pgi process.
so process is sales order->billing plan-> invoice
my user want to generate single invoice with reference to 2 sales order - same customer no.For processing billing due list (VF04) - The system combines documents with the same customer number, proposal billing type and sales organization, and attempts to include them all in the same billing document. If the preconditions are met, then a single invoice is created for the deliveries and/or orders.
To do a collective billing. Collective Billing Documents
The selected documents in the billing due list are billed. The system tries to combine them as much as possible. Processing of the selected documents is carried out in the background. After processing of the documents, you return to the billing due list. The sysytem will indicate whether or not a document has been billed successfully.
If successful, then Save
You can also carry out a simulation of billing. In this case, select Simulate. The system simulates the collective billing / online function described above.
-After the collective run you can display a log for the collective run. This displays possible errors during billing.
-You can also branch to the resulting billing documents, in order to carry out a split analysis.
-The billing documents of a collective run can also be canceled.
Re: VF04
Hope it assist you.
Thanks & Regards

Down payment request for contract with periodic billing
Hi Friends,
Could anyone help me in understanding the configuration settings for down payment / advance payment senario for a CONTRACT which has Order related billing (I have done for Order with milestone billing plan).
The contract has order related *periodic billing plan* where settlement period is suppose quaterly billing and actual invoice is happening on 1st date of the quarter. But i want to create a down payment request say 10 days before the billing date[(actual invoice(F2) date] of every quater as an advance payment/ down payment.
FYI...
For order i am using standard billing rule 1 in milestone billing plan for final invoice but for downpaymnet billing dates (added additional settlement periods then actual invoice settlement period like 3 adv pay ment og 20%, 30% 50% & one actual invoice period for whole amount 100% as D4 doc only) i am manually changing the billing rule as 4 to create a down payment req.
But in contract as its has periodic billing plan no billing rule changing option (no additional settlement period can be added, only settlement period for actual invoice is getting proposed) so i can't have two different rule for a settlement period. no settlement period can be added separately for adv paymnet/down payment.
Kindly respond ASAP.
Rgds
ManishHi, Many thanks for your response.
But the down payment functionality for a SO with milestone billing i have already implemented.
The question was for CONTRACT Side (say rental / service contract). The contract has periodic billing (monthly / Q'ly).
Kindly let me know if you/anyone has any idea for config settings for a contract with the senario mentioned in previous thread post.
Thnx & Rgds

Multiple invoices created in periodic billing
Hii All,
We are facing a problem in periodic billing. When i remove the billing block for 1 period in a sales order and try to raise the biling for the same, the system raises the billing doc for all the periods.
e.g. I have 4 billing blocks in a year. I remove the billing block for the first period and go to VF01 to raise the bill. The system shows 4 lines corresponding to 4 periods. I select only first line & save it. But the system raises the billing document for all the 4 periods.
Actually the system should show the line item (in VF01) for the period for which the billing block is removed and the document should be raised for that line item only.
Regards,
VijayTry thru VF04.

Billing Plan with 2 invoices:1st:Down Pymt Type,2nd related to deliv.
Hello Gurus,
My customer has this need:
Customer must pay a percentage before sending the goods (Down Payment Type)
Then, when it is paid, the following invoice should be based on the real delivered quantity:
When they pick the goods, if a part of the ordered goods are missing (breaked...), the invoice should just be based on the ral quantity.
By ex:
Ordered: 100 - Account Invoice: 50%
Picking:
- if total: F2 invoice: 50%
- if Only 60/100 - F2 invoice: 60-50= 10%
Is it possible?
Best regards,
SébastienHi,
It is very much possible,
In periodic billing, you have something called the Date categories. You have to enable various date categories, atleast 2, with 1 having an invoice of downpayment type and another with actual invoice type.
Now when you create sales order, in the billing plan, maintain two date categories, teh first one being teh one for downpayment type and the second date category being the one with the actual invoice type.
Once this is done, and the downpayment is made, you can remove the billing block from SO, create invoice for the first billing plan. In this case, it will create a downpayment request. Here the revenue wont be recognised , only downpayment will be posted.
Once delivery is made, create the invoice using the second billing plan. In this case, it will create the actual invoice. This will be posted in AR.
Now you can reconcile between downpayment and AR in FICO. -
Data Migration of Contracts with periodic billing and revenue recognition
Hello Experts,
I am trying to develop a legacy data migration plan for Contracts with periodic billing plan and revenue recognition.
Example of the scenario is given below:
Customer signed a contract for one year starting 01/01/2009.
Customer is billed quartely, billed in advance.
SAP going live on 04/01/2009
Customer is billed for 3 months and also for initial set up fees.
Revenue recognition is done monthly.
We have to migrate this contract to SAP.
Billing document posting may be necessay as it affects revenue recognition which spans across the total contract period.
Any ideas how to do this?
Thanks A Lot
Anil
Edited by: Anil Jose on Sep 17, 2008 9:38 PMHi Anil
How did you manage this? We also had the same problem in one of our contracts and what we did was that we copied the contracts from the legacy with the full value. That is suppose SAP went live on 1st April, 2009 and the contract was created on 1st January 2009 for a value of suppose 100 USD, with the first billing being done on 1st Jan for 33.33 USD for 4 months. We first created the contract with a validity from 1st Jan 2009 in the new system. We billed it with a billing type that we created that did not actually create new accounting entries as the accounting entries had already been created in the legacy system. In the new system then we recognised the revenue till the go live, so that the actual value remaining of the contract reduced. Then we started the billing plan of the contract from 1st of April 2009 for the remaining amount. So next invoice was created on 1st april for 33.33 USD. Can you share your solution.

Rental Contract with Periodic Billing Plan
Hello,
I need to have a rental contract created, But the payment is one shot.
For example, if the customer rents a cylinder for a contract period of 1 year, he pays the contract payment for 1 year in one single shot. So, i need to have the periodic billing plan tweaked to take the payment and have just one billing doc and invoice created with 1 whole payment.
Can this be done?
Also, i want the revenue recognition to be activated to have this whole 1 year's payment split and posted on a monthly basis to finance.
Can someone help me with this?
Also, how can this be changed , reverted in case of contract cancellation in the middle or addition of material on the same existing contract. Please let know.Hi..On top of this i have 2 requirements... 1. One year contracts with one shot payment 2. 3year contracts with 1 shot payment. Can they be done as a single transaction, as in the rental contract profile we define the time period.Or they can be only done as 2 different transactions with 2 separate contract profiles?

You may check the table VBRK, give the date of creation of invoice in ERDAT field and execute, it will give all the Invoice created on that date.
you may also check with ref. to the invoive no. in table VBRP for the Delivery no. in the field VGBEL.
If require you may create an ABAP Querry for these two tables VBRK and VBRP.
Hope it will help
