Periodic Billing Plan in Contract
Hi
I am trying to configure periodic billing plan in service contract scenario but when I assign it to Sales Doc. and item category, and create contract, the value in contract overview screen ( Net Document Value) does not match with Net header value . when I remove Billing plan then they match.Billing is to be done quarterly in this scenario.Please guide.
Hi,
for Contract end rule 10
In T.Code: OVBZ
maintain baseline date as 01= Todays date
time period as 1
time unit as 4= year.
Alternately maintain Contract Validity period as 1 year and check. It looks the contract end and validity are not uniform.
Hope this will help.

sharan

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?

Regarding Periodic Billing Plan in Rental Contract
Hi all,
Scenario.:
My client having a scenario, rental contract for the period of one year and billed periodically every month.Rent is fixed based on no of hours.(e.g. 200 Rs per hour)
But the total rent to billed for the month is changed every month because no of machine working hours are changing every month.How do i capture this scenario?By using periodic billing plan we can bill same amount of rent every month during contract validity period.Here we can't change no of hours every month.
Please give some idea.
Regards,
Kartheek.Dear Kookie,
Initially i created rental contract with the service unit as no of hours and in the quantity field i have entered the total number of hours for the month.By this way i can able to only bill for the same quantity every month.But this is not working incase of machine hours changes every month.So am not able map this.
Please suggest the way to confirm the actual machine no of hours and billing the same periodically.
Thanks & Regards,
Kartheek. -
Periodic Billing plan -Contracts
Hi mates
I am just creating Quantity contract and trying to activate periodic billing plan.When i select the line item and click the billing plan tab
iam getting following error
"ITEM 000010 CANNOT BE INVOICED ACCORDING TO THE BILLING PLAN"
Can anybody explain me in detail the configuration involved in this so that periodic billing plan works
Thanx in advanceDear Karthik,
For the Item Category TAO as per standard the item category group is 0005 which is for partial billing. So whenever you are doing the partial billing by using billing plans the item category group should be 0005 and item category TAO fir milestone and WYN for periodic.
KMN is for quanity contract item category..... also check the setting of billing relevance in VOV7.
Thanks,

Billing Plan - GL Account Problem. (Periodic Billing Plan)
Hi Every body,
I created rental agreement throguh contact and aslo I have configured the periodic billing plan. when i am saving the document,system through an error i.e., GL account not maintained.
can you please tell me, how to maintain this GL account and where i need to maintain.
thanks in advance .
Regards,
Srinivas.Is this the incomplete log you are getting?
Normaly system should never ask for the GL account while creating a contract......
Anyways system is trying to create a billing doc in the background, try to create block the billing (you have the option available in billing plan) and save the transaction.
I think in the configuration you have the option where, when ever you create a billing plan the system should block the plan untill release it manualy or by milestone........

Change quantity in periodic billing plan
Hello Gurus,
I have to map contract relevant billing with periodic billing plan. But here contract quantity and billing quantity can be differ. But as per the item category billing relevance "I - Order-relevant billing - billing plan" i can not change quantity while creating billing document.
Can any one suggest me what should i do to change the billing quantity in this case ?...
Any user exit or enhancement which can help me ?..what should be the logic ?..
Regards,
TarpanHello
For your requirement, you can place a Billing Request Order in b/w Contract & Billing Document.
Contract
->
Billing Request (Sales Order)
->
Invoice
This will provide you a fexibility of changing quantities before invoicing the same.

Periodic Billing for Rental Contracts
Hi Gurus,
Periodic Billing for Rental Contracts
I have a customer requirement where in i need to create a Rental Contract of type say MV.
Billing should be periodic in nature. Say today is the GI date 22/SEP/2008, they give 7 days of lead time up to 29/SEP/2008. From this date onwards the customer is to be billed. They do the invoicing on a quartely basis. From 29/SEP/2008 up to 28/DEC/2008, they need to create one single invoice. This single invoice will be generated sometime in January 2009. How will i configure the system to generate date specific invoices...?
In Periodic billing system will generate billing only on month ends say 30/SEP/2008, 31/OCT/2008 and so on...
This is a high priority issue...Please reply with a solution as soon as possible;
Thanks in advance;
Regards,
Syed NasirHi Syed,
This is not an easy option to do:
In our case, we have opted out of this scenario, but we have evaluated these two options:
1) You can do the monthly billing as present in the SAP, and then you can make one lumpsum invoice for the three invoices generated in a quarter. But the problem is that the revenue shows to be pending and can hurt the business targets.
2) If you have to create this process for only few customers. You can use any two special fields for the contract one field for date and a field for quaterly tagging. Then you have to just create a daily batch job which invoices the contract on the basis of contract type, date and tag. But if you have large number of contracts to process then this would not be recommendable solution.
Hope this helps,

Periodic billing plan / change amount
HI All. Can you explain me . is it possible to change amount in only one row in periodic billing plan and which settings i have to do?
hi,
the only possibility is to change either the price or the length of the period. The latter is easier to influence the price but I guess it is not what you need. If you change the condition, it will be relevant for all lines waiting for invoicing. So the best would be to invoice all lines with old price, create new line with new price, invoice it and continue with the other dates.
I hope this helps.

Shorter contract date, periodic billing plan reduced, not reflected in ECC
Hi,
We get quite a lot similar problems with service contracts with billing plan.
Because of new type of contracts (other material number) being sold to our customers, the old contract will change end date, let's say from 31.12.2012 to 31.05.2011. Next the line item will be put to completed.
The periodic monthly billing plan in CRM now only show billing dates as to 01.05.2011 which is correct.
However on the ECC side, the created contract still show the future lines of the billing plan with status open.
As a result they still appear in the billing due lists.
The problem does not seem to be situated in the middleware.
I changed the contract end date to 31.12.2013 (so even further in the future than in the initial status) and in ECC I see additional lines created for billing.
Now if I bring back the contract end date to 31.05.2011 the extra lines in ECC are gone (period 01.01.2013 - 31.12.2013), but all lines for period 01.06.2011 - 31.12.2012 stay in overall processing status "Open" because they are "Not invoiced".
Anyone came accross the same issue and knows how to solve it?

Extending periodic billing plan to more than a year?
Hello,
I am able to create a billing plan for a sales order for anything less than or equal to an year. The billing schedules are being created just fine.
However, I am unable to figure out how I can do the same things for any length of duration (more than 1 year). I believe the Horizon is what is restricting it to <= 1 year. There need to be some thing which needs to be done with Horizon.
Any help with sequence of step will be greatly appreciated.In OVBS I did define a new "Rule for Date Determination" as Z1:
Baseline date = 02 (Contract Start Date)
Time period = 18 (Months)
Time Unit = 3 (for months)
Last of the month = A
Now, when I come back to OVBI for Billing Plan Type = 02, I have the following setup:
In "Origin of General Data" section, I have:
Start Date = 11 (Contract Start Date)
End Date = 09 (Contract End Date)
Dates from = 11 (Contract Start Date)
Dates Until = 09 (Contract End Date)
Horizon = 52 (Horizon 1 Year)
The problem in the above scenario is that I am unable pick the Z1 int he pull down of the Horizon field. It does not show up the whole list of choices which is available in OVBS transaction.
I am assuming I should be just able to do F4 on Horizon and pick Z1 and then I will be set. But, the choice does not appear.
I am puzzled. Any input? -

Could anyone please suggest me how to setup this billing plan?
I am totally confused with those baseline date / Start Date / End Date /Horizon / Dates from / Dates until in the IMG.
Please kindly help me. Thanks a lot!!
Best regards,
ChrisHi Sai,
I though it is a standard setting in billing plan before as well.
But with the "start of the month" or "end of the month", it will lead to 13 billing period generated. But what I want is exactly 1 year, i.e. 12 month billing only.
As I listed before.
If the start date is 23/06/2009, the contract end date will be 22/06/2010, and base on this standard billing plan, it will generate 13 billings!!
01) 23/06/2009 - 30/06/2009: Billing Date: 30/06/2009 (End of the month)
02) 01/07/2009 - 31/07/2009: Billing Date: 31/07/2009 (End of the month)
03) 01/08/2009 - 31/08/2009: Billing Date: 31/08/2009 (End of the month)
04) 01/09/2009 - 30/09/2009: Billing Date: 30/09/2009 (End of the month)
05) 01/10/2009 - 31/10/2009: Billing Date: 31/10/2009 (End of the month)
06) 01/11/2009 - 30/11/2009: Billing Date: 30/11/2009 (End of the month)
07) 01/12/2009 - 31/12/2009: Billing Date: 31/12/2009 (End of the month)
08) 01/01/2009 - 31/1/2010: Billing Date: 31/01/2010 (End of the month)
09) 01/02/2010 - 28/2/2010: Billing Date: 28/02/2010 (End of the month)
10) 01/03/2010 - 31/3/2010: Billing Date: 31/03/2010 (End of the month)
11) 01/04/2010 - 30/4/2010: Billing Date: 30/04/2010 (End of the month)
12) 01/05/2010 - 31/5/2010: Billing Date: 31/05/2010 (End of the month)
13) 01/06/2010 - 30/6/2010: Billing Date: 30/06/2010 (End of the month) <----- I do not want this billing to be generated
Any advise?
Thanks.

Copy Billing plan from Contract to Sales Order
Dear Expert,
We created the Contract with Billing plan related to specific "WBS "Element". Then, tried to create the sales order with reference to that Contract. But billing plan details maintained in contract is not getting copied to sales order. can anybody give your experience to solve this issue.
Warm Regards,
NagHello Nag,
Did you check your copy control routines in transaction VTAA? You need to see if these fields are included in the routines maintained for copy control between your contract and sales order.
I hope this helps.
