Predefined Rate contract and Billing

MM Gurus,
Can we create any predefined rate contract. My client have yearly based rate contract with vendor. In this rate contract they have segricated the amount for each activity. for example - change of motor -100 rs, change of pump 200.
Whenever the service contractor done the job they have raises the bill for the activity. Then bill should be verified with the job and it should be accounted.
kindly suggect me how i can capture this activities in plant maintenance also.
Thanks and regards

Hi,
Satish you can create service PO based on PR generated out of PM order
Use item category D and account assignment category K in service PO and maintain these services as either service masters or text items in PO
You can enter service entry sheet based on activity completed (services rendered) by service provider the rate will be as per PO
Thanks

Different amount in Contract and Billing document.

Hi All,
We have a issue here, need suggestion.
We have a contract which has a billing plan. We have maintained monthly plans with a fixed amount.
Say we have $ 1000 in the contract, but the billing has been created with $ 900.
So you see the amounts are different in contract and billing document.
We have checked there are no recent pricing changes or any such changes that will have such effect. The invoice is created in May.
There were pricing changes in March but they had been corrected in March itself.
Let me know if anybody has faced such issue and where may be the issue.
Regards,
SB

You would have to cross-check the Pricing at Item level in Contract & Invoice. Hope , it would help you to check the Base Price or some other Prices / Discounts.

Rate Contract and Discount

Dear All,
Value and Qty contract is working fine now.
We have another two types of Contract :
1. Rate Contract -
         Rate of Material is fixed upto Certain period. Qty and Value is not fiexed. I have search, in one forum it is mentioned that you can use item
         category "M" for Rate contract. But during PR I cannot enter "M" as material is known. I am getting error
         "Item categories in agreement and requisition incompatible
2. Discount Contract : For a certain period vendor will provide discount on some materials.
Thanks and Regards,
Nirav

I have defined Item category "M" in pr document type.
After that i got "Field selection PT4B not defined" error.
So I have add PT4B in screen layout.
Now I am getting "Item category M is only supported for contracts".
Might be possible I am doing some mistake.
Thanks and Regards,
Nirav

Contract and billing question.

I'm leaving to Basic Combat Training in mid September and I'm getting a phone beforehand so I can keep contact with people when they start allowing phone time, and so I can keep contact through Advanced Individual Training. I don't have a job so I've been saving money for awhile now.
I'm getting an iPhone 5, so up front payment to start a contract is $199.99. The bill will be $110 monthly with the plan I've chosen. Now, I have enough money for the up front payment and the first bill, so I'm wondering, if I start my contract at the start of September 2013, when will my first and second bill be due?
I'll start getting paychecks around the end of September/start of October and since I have enough money for the upfront payment, and the first bill, would the first bill be due at the end of September, and the next at the end of October? If this was the case, I'd be fine because my bank account would have my BCT pay already going into it so by the time the 2nd bill arrived I would already have more than enough money in my account from training to pay for it thereon out. However if the billing cycle is different (or if I have to pay the upfront cost + the first bill at the same time upon opening the account) then I'd need to put the billing on someone elses card then pay them back after my training.
Thanks, answers will help a ton.

Canceled service before end of contract and billing cycle. Being charged an extra month!

Hi. I have been a loyal Verizon wireless customer for a long while, but have had such a bad experience in the past year (where I have paid bills as high as $700.00) that I decided to cancel my services and move to another network. My billing cycle runs from 14th of the month to 14th of next month, typically. I have autopay set up to pay my bills and it deducts money for the following month on or around 6th of that month.
I ported out my verizon number to a service on 4th of this month and since my verizon account got immediately closed, I called up verizon to find out about the ETF and final bill. I was surprised to find that I had to not only pay ETF but also pay the bills for the next month (which I am not using as I canceled before the Feb 14th!). Is this common practice? I feel so cheated. I feel its a sneaky move to squeeze that extra amount of money from me!

There were many options to choose from when my contracts ended every two years, and I stuck with VZW. The CSR whom I spoke with mentioned its a Verizon policy. She did not talk about billing error and mentioned to avoid paying this extra months bills I must have canceled my service before the bill was generated for the following month! I find that conniving.
But thank you for your response.
I'm sure you stuck with Verizon because they were giving the best service for a reasonable price. That's not loyalty. That's just being a smart consumer. Being loyal would be sticking with Verizon when other carriers where offering equal or superior service for less money. And in that case that may be being loyal but it's also kind of stupid.
As far as your bill my new bill is generated about 4-5 days after the end of my billing period. So if your billing period ended on the 14th the new bill would be generated on the 18th. Verizon bills in advance so your bill that got generated on the 18th of January would be from January 15th to February 14th. Which would be due around Feb 6th. So you were billed correctly.

Predefined service contract

Gurus,
Can we create any predefined rate contract. My client have yearly based rate contract with vendor. In this rate contract they have segricated the amount for each activity. for example - change of motor -100 rs, change of pump 200.
Whenever the service contractor done the job they have raises the bill for the activity.
Through external services can we map this process?
Activity wise i need to assign in service specification page (order screen) . Is it possible to capture the cost from contract activity wise?
for example if assigned the line item 010 work as "change the motor" it should be directly added to contractor account after accpetance of service entry.
kindly suggect me how i can capture this activities.
Thanks and regards
G.Sathish

Hi
You can map the process by using the external services,by following ways
create frame work order (PO) and specify the service with cost , specify the PO and select the service while create order
or
create model service specification and while creating the order select from the same

How to configure release procedure for rate contracts release

Dear all,
How to configure release procedure for rate contract following are the requirements
they are two release codes c1 & c2 <=100000,>=100000
                if c1 is not there c2 has to be approved
     Change in the value of the rate contract contract
     Change in the validity of the rate contract
     Addition of deletion of line items
While using a non u2013 released rate contract in the PO an error message should shoot out.
Also the logic should be changed while using the rate contract in the PO.
The usage of the rate contract should be till the validity of the rate contract. i.e. the measurement should be end date of the rate contract and the PO creation date and not the delivery date of the PO. &
It should be possible to refer existing valid rate contracts in purchase orders.
Regards,
bhaskar

Hi,
In SAP rate contract is known as value contract denoted with wk. The release procedure for rate contract is same as that of other contracts and scheduling agreements. The tables for contracts will vary with SA (Scheduling agreement) .You may try and maintain condition records based on the customer combination and maintian the validity date of condition records as per your requirement.For contract and PO will have the same header/item table as EKKO/EKPO, and the release
class in standard is the same FRG_EKKO, you can use the same for contract.
To distinguish if it's a contract or PO, EKKO-BSART can be used.
For contract EKKO-BSART will be MK or WK, while PO will have NB/UB etc..
You can restrict the document type to set up the release strategy for only contract.
Of cause, you can also create your own release class Z* for contract copying standard
one FRG_EKKO via CL01/Class type 032, and then assign the class Z* to customizing:
OLME:
-> contract
->Release Procedure for Contracts
->Define Release Procedure for Contracts
->Release Groups
If you have already created the PO release class.
Assign a new chracteristic of Document Category -BSTYP
Please check below link for detailed release procedure. I hope this wil help you out .Thanking you.

Rate Contract Rejection

Dear Friends,
We have a requirement for rejecting the rate contract just like in PO/PR. Kindly suggest some way out for this.
Regards
Amit

Dear Ashok,
We are using Rate contracts. We have release strategy in both Rate contracts and Purchase orders. But in purchase order the approver has an option of rejecting the purchase order if there is any problem in it. After that the PO creator can cancel the rejection, make necessary changes after which it again goes into release strategy.
But in case of rate contract approver do not have any option of rejecting it as in purchase order. So we have a requirement for the same.

Service Contract and Repair procedure

Hi,
I am struggling with a Service mgmt issue.
There is a service contract in which we maintain the terms and conditions of service (bill plan) and also give the rates for service.
Now when i run a repair at plant scenario wherein i bring back the defective matr. for repairs, the service notification is connecting to that contract and takes the contract number.
What is fail to understand is that how do the contract terms and conditions affect the repair process.
The process i am following is as follows:
1)Created a contract for the C/s and material to give service for one year and the customer paid one time for that through billing the Contract type WV.
2) For the repairs, i did the following
Service notification - repair Order - return delivery of defective matr to service center - Service order creation - carrying the repair (added a spare part also) and technically completed the order - Delivery of repaired matr to customer - Resource related billing request creation (DP90) - Billing the repair order - Settlimg the Service order - Settling the Repair order.
In all this process, i do not find any link between the Contract and repair cycle. Ideally since the customer has paid for the service one time, we should only charge for whatever spare parts are used.
Hope I have been able to explain it. looking forward to any help on this issue
Thanks
Arijeet

HI Arijeet,
conditions and the price agreements for the service material and materials will be picked from the service contract into the repair order.

Ravi.

Service prod in service contract and service order thro RRB!

Hi,
I have service contract with service product say Rep_service with 1 Hr rate as 100 USD in place for a particular equipment with serial number.
I have received a complaint now I am raising a service order SM01 service order with contract
I have maintained the same equipment number in the Service order as in service contract
and selected the service contract too.
i have operations and material consumption for service order.
When I run DP90 RRB the material determined is Service (different service product) based on my DIP profile, (should I maintain the same service product in DIP profile as in service contract or any other service prod can be maintained). What happens to this billing document generated from DP90?
And my service order settles to service contract.
I think when service contract is in place then to generate billing I will use only service contract as reference.
Please suggest me how to go about it.
Kindly if possible give me some link to documents.
Regards,
N.Nagaraju

Hi Nagaraju,
First of all, you can bill Service Contract and Service Order differently. This is because you may wish to charge contract fees irrespective of whether service occurs or not.
Secondly, while maintaining DIP profile, you can use different material from the one used in contract. Just make sure that it gives explanation as to what service was performed so that customer will understand the invoice.
DP90 will generate Debit memo request. You will need to create billing document against this using VF01.
When you settle the service order (KO88), it will be settled against service contract.
Please let me know if you need any further information.
Regards,
Aaditya.

Signed a 1-year contract and then AT&T raised price

I was going to cancel my service in December last year, but when I called to cancel, AT&T offered U200 for a certain rate for 12 months in exchange for me signing a contract for one-year. So I agreed to keep AT&T U-Verse for 1 year and pay that set price. Subsequent to our agreement, AT&T raised the bill by ~$4 in February (yes, the notification was in the December bill but that bill was generated after I entered into the one-year contract). I had an online chat with customer care and I was told that it is AT&T's policy to apply the rate increase even to customers who are under a contract. I sent a private message this past weekend but I have yet to hear back. It is absurd that AT&T thinks this is okay: 1) If I cancel the service before December this year, I have to pay a penalty.2) Yet AT&T can raise the rate at any time without my consent.3) If I don't like the rate increase, I can cancel the service but I still have to pay the penalty. Is anyone else having this same issue (i.e., those who have to pay a penalty if they were to cancel within the contract period, similar to how cell phone contracts work)? Please share your experience here. Thanks.

Switch from one rate to another rate during same billing period...

Hi,
I am working on one of the ISU billing account where there are two rates to the device rental. one of the rate is for the outlined contract(Agreement ) between customer while other rate is the common rental rate.
I am maintaining the common rental rate at device level (Price class). and the Agreement rental rate in the installation fact's reference operand.
Problem is if the agreement is completed during the billing period the system should prorate both the rates for the billing period. Please suggest neccessary rate steps for such type of situation.
Thanks in advance,

Kindly refer to the link below:
