Process Flow for the Business Scenario

Question

Hi,
The scenario is service industry ex. House keeping service.
We are using Project system module for the above service industry. The modules which are being implemented apart from PS are SD, MM, FICO and HR.
The Project duration is normally 1 year. The client requirements are as follows:
1) Quotation price should be based on the planned cost of the project (No Inquiry)
2) Create a Contract once Quotation is approved.
3) Month wise billing based on actuals of resource and materials consumed for the project.
As per my understanding, Resource related billing and Easy cost planning to be used. Pl let me know whether this is correct and let me also know how to handle the above scenario.
Rgds,

Answer 1

Hi,
You are correct that you need to do resource related billing for your requirement.
Basically, In your scenario, once you get a go ahead from PS, you will be able to create a contract.
You can use the standard contract document type and assign the WBS element created in PS to it either at header level or at item level depending on your requirement.
Create a DIP profile in PS.
Create a new item category and attach this DIP profile to your item category. Based on this the system will be able to identify that RRB needs to be performed on this material.
You can post the costs in PS or FI using various activity types. Once the costs are posted to the activity type, you can run RRB by using transaction DP90.
(This will bring on all the costs which are associated with this line item/WBS element.)
Then in DP90 you can create a billing request, this will create a debit memo, and then you can do a billing to this debit memo.
Thanks
