Progress Billing with Downpayment and Retention

Hi SAP Gurus,
I just wanted to check if you have encountered a scenario wherein the purchase is billed progressively and that downpayments and retention are recognized for the purchase. For example:
Total Contract Price: 9900000
1. Downpayment (30%)                                           - 2,970,000.00
2. First Progress Billing for 45% Accomplishment    - 2,673,000.00
    Value of Accomplishment           4,455,000.00
    Deductions
     10% Retention                       445,500.00
     30% Downpayment               1,336,500.00
     Subtotal                            1,782,000.00
3. Second Progress Billing for 83% Accomplishment - 2,257,200.00
    Value of Accomplishment           8,217,000.00
    Deductions
     10% Retention                    821,700.00
     30% Downpayment               2,465,100.00
     1st Progress                    2,673,000.00
     Subtotal                         5,959,800.00
And so on...
It is basically a scenario wherein the progress is based on the accomplishment and then the charges will be net of the downpayment and the retention. What I initially had in mind was to create the PO in 3 major segments, 1 PO item for the DP (30%), 1 PO item for the retention (10%) and the remaining 60% for the whole lot purchase.
Is there any other (better) way to go about this? I heard that there is a facility for downpayment and retention recognition via EHP4; however, I am not sure if it also accommodates mixing in progress billing.
Your responses will be most welcome.
Best regards,
DeLo

This problem "was because in the Accounting settings of "Reconciliation accounts (A/R, A/P)" [OB14], the sales order field was suppressed. After unhiding this field, it started working fine as this is the field whch forms the link between the Downpayment recieved in the Accounting to be affected as a subsequent line item in the Billing Document.

Milestone Billing with DownPayment Clearing

Hi folks,
I have a problem that the Downpayment made by the customer and posted through transaction F-29 is not being shown as the second line item (below the actual billing item). Actually as per the SAP documentation "those payments already made are taken into the billing document as items to be cleared. They are set as items, after the billing items to which they refer, in the billing document"....However in my case , this is not happening. The other alternative is clearing the downpayment against the billing item through FI using F-39, which though works fine, is still a round-about way, hence can somebody help me with my problem. I'm sure somebody from you experts may have come across this problem. Pls note that all the settings in SD and FI as explained in the documentation ahve been done and are working fine, except the above feature.

Final Billing with downpayment clearing

Hi Friends,
Total Bill Value:- Rs. 3000/-
Down payment :-Rs 300/-(FAZ) -10% of Total bill value
1st Billing:-         Rs 1200/-(F2)-40% of Total bill value
Final Billing:-         Rs 1800/-(F2)-60% of Total bill value
When i create final billing , what will happen to Down payment amount Rs.300/- which i am paying more
      30012001800= 3300
so how to clear amount 300?is this amount replicate in Final billing?
Regards,
Amol

Hi
This question is laready answered.
While processing the Final invoice , the down payment made are transferred as down payments to be cleared.
Within Financial Accounting, the down payments are deducted from the reconcialiation account and entered in the standard reconciliation account.
The down payments for clearing then appears as open items for the customer and reduces the receiviable total.

How to club the downpayment and periodic billing scenario in Sales Order

Hi experts,
Could you please let me know how to club the downpayment and periodic billing scenario in Sales Order.
Requirement is : If you have 10 lacs total amount and out of that 50% should be the downpayment and rest of the amount should be distributed among three equated instalments for 2 months each (periodic billing). This should work with one line item in sales order. Pls provide relevant inputs how to work out this scenario.
Your help would be appreciable.

Hi Yang,
Workflow is the best approach for any issue related to business objects.
Since you want call FM BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE, it will change SO. It means everytime any SO is changed there will an event being triggered.
object type: BUS2032
event: Changed
simple solution:
1. Please create object type (SWO1) and its super type should be BUS2032.
2. Add your own method and attach your custom FM which actually updates the qty & PR)
3. Create Task (PFTC_INS)
in basic data:
- provide object type which you have created
- provide method which you have added
goto triggering events tab
- Choose Object Category as BOR object type
- provide object type (better give BUS2032)
- provide event as CHANGED
Please have look into very nice video blog which helps you to create your workflow.

Progress Billing Invoices in OM with Project Reference ?

Hello Guys,
Can anyone help me on this Question,
Version - > 11i
Sales Company -> Different OU and LE.
Manufacturing Plant -> Different OU and LE.
Billing from OM to AR.
Their will be progress billing invoices generated from manufacturing plant aganist sales company,Manufacturing Plant will create project and attach it to Sales-orders,Work Orders and Purchase Orders.And track the cost against their project.They are plaining to capture(Material Cost,Labor Cost and Other Expenses) and invoice(OM to AR) it to sales company after shipment.
Example : Sales Order with 50000 Euro's
Jan - Invoice - 15000 Euro's
Feb - Invoice - 20000 Euro's
Mar - Invoice - 15000 Euro's
How to generate multiple invoices without actual shipment in OM for Progress Bill ?
If they meet any exception(Country Exempt from Progress Billing) then only single invoice generated ?Can we generate it automatically ?
Can we recongnise deferred revenue in OM or AR using COGS account ?
Can we capture labor,other expense in COGS account ? How we need to do this ?
Regards,
Satish

I had the same scenario at one of our client, oracle standard functionality doesnt support the requirement
in order to have the project visible at Order Mangement, project mfg to be enabled and provide project parameters for the specific Inventory organization against that project, it makes the project available for that warehouse in that OU
order type should be off ship only so that order doesnt process to AR
Ensure a Custom program to create shipment (sale order issue transaction reflected in Inventory :COGS) to process to projects
with work.work based rule for the project creates Invoice and interfaces to AR
Ensure that Invoice is done at Project Organization if your business requirement is have accounts dervied (Invoicing) at Project Org level

Sales Order Progress Billing and Revenue Recognition

I need some suggestions to take care of a progress billing and revenue recognition requirement. Billing and revenue recognition need to happen in parallel but on totally different schedules. Here's a sample scenario that I'd like to set up OM and AR without customization to do the following:
Sales Order $100000
Billing
Jan 06 $25000
Feb 06 $60000
Mar 06 $15000
Revenue Recognition
Jan 06 $20000
Feb 06 $30000
Mar 06 $40000
Apr 06 $10000

Hi
There is no standard functionality that support integration of Order Management and Oracle Projects Billing.
In Projects you can generate revenue based on progress. There is a form in Projects, where user may enter once a period the percentage of progress for the project.
You may want to setup the project with revenue distribution rule as event, and assign a progress based billing extension to the project.
You should develop your own code to generate projects invoices for items delivered from OM. A custom code could be loading events using API, an event for each shipment transaction in OM. Note, if you are going to generate invoices from projects, you should avoid interfacing the transactions from OM to AR, to prevent double accounting.

Difference between downpayment and Milestone billing

Dear Guru's
can anyone tell me what is the difference between downpayment and milestone billing. And also tell me anyother things are there in this process.
regards,
Reshmi

hi
Milestone billing is typically used for billing projects, such as plant engineering and construction projects. Such projects often include a series of milestones that mark the completion of different stages of the work. In the SAP R/3 System, milestones are defined in a network along with planned and actual dates for the completion of work. The milestones are also assigned to the billing dates in the billing plan. Each milestone-related billing date is blocked for processing until the Project System confirms that the milestone is completed.
Delivery-relevant order items for which a milestone billing plan applies are billed on the basis of the requested delivery quantity and not on the total of the confirmed quantities.

High bill with unusual calls and texts from non-functioning numbers?

We have a family share plan with 3 phones, one phone for my husband and two phones for our employees. Our usual phone bill runs around $150. Our last bill was over $600, the majority charges being on one of our employee's lines. This particular employee has been with us for over 10 years, and has always been extremely trustworthy and very frugal in his usage of his phone to make personal calls (very infrequent and always less than 5 minutes in duration, unless made during the free nights and weekends timeframe). Our latest bill showed over 1,000 texts to/from his phone, as well as over 3,000 peak calling minutes (both to/from his phone) alone. Many of the peak calls are lengthy in duration (30+ minutes, up to 120 minutes). I realize this post is long, so will divide it into headings so that it makes more sense:
Information on usage:
Our employee insists that he did not make these calls and texts (he does not even know how to text), and what is odd about the numbers that appear on the detail (both text and voice) is that they fit into one of two categories:
1. There are calls to two particular non-local area code numbers (and possibly bogus, as they have area codes 523 and 352(?)). When I call the two numbers, I get the following messages:
From my landline: When called from my landline, adding a "1" before the 10 digit number, I get the recording stating that "your number cannot be completed as dialed, please check the number and dial again"
From a cell number- When calling from my own VZW phone (on separate account from husband's), I get a VZW message that the number "has been changed, disconnected or is no longer in service"
2. They are local area code numbers, but when I call the number, I get a recording asking me to enter my pin number (in other words, they are numbers that cannot receive incoming calls, but according to our bill, have not only made calls to our employee's phone, but also received calls. I have done an online lookup on these numbers and they are all cell phones.
3. When I have tried to text the non-local numbers from my VZW phone, I get messages back stating that these are landline numbers and cannot be texted; when I text the local numbers, I have texted a generic message along the lines of "I can't reach you on the phone. Please call me as soon as you can" but I do not receive a call back.
We cannot speak directly with our employee right now (he is in Mexico to pick up his elderly grandmother), nor can we access our employee's phone to check the log, call history, etc. because he has the phone with him. Due to this, when we discovered the high usage, we immediately "suspended" the phone line so that no calls could be made or received. Subsequent to suspending the line, we have talked to his family a couple of times -- one time he happened to call them on another line, so we talked to him "indirectly" through a family member on another line with him. He was alarmed about the calls and insists he did not make them.
He does have children but they are forbidden (by him) from using the phone, and he states that he always keeps the phone in a case on his hip, thus no one else has access to the phone. To go even further, it seems that most all of the calls to these unusual numbers are made on weekdays, during school hours, so I feel sure the calls were not made by his kids.
Calls to Verizon: When we first called Verizon, they suggested we suspend the phone until we could speak to our employee. Subsequent to our indirect conversation with him mentioned above, we called them back and told them he stated that he did not make the calls nor send the texts, and that we believed the phone might have been compromised, cloned, hijacked or whatever. First, the customer svc rep looked at our account and suggested that we put an unlimited text on the phone for the current unbilled usage (there were a lot of texts, and we have no text plan on the employee's phone), and then remove that plan once we get to the bottom of this matter.
Due to our concern about fraudulent usage, the customer svc. rep called the fraud dept. while my husband was holding on the line. She came back on the line and told my husband that the fraud dept. said that "it cannot be fraud because if it was, there would be thousands of dollars in international long distance to countries like Pakistan and India." (WTH?) Also, she said that it couldn't be fraud "because texts were sent to and from the telephone number so we know it was your phone." (another WTH?)
She then went on to say that it looks like texts were sent to international numbers (???) recently (these same 523 and 352 area code numbers I referred to above). Number one, if these were international texts, it seems odd to me that these texts show up on our billed and unbilled activity as "domestic text" and there is no premium charge assessed to our account for international texts. Number two, if these numbers were international numbers, I imagine that we would be charged for outgoing international calls, which we were not. Further, I imagine that the numbers would be displayed on our bill in other than a ten digit format, but am not sure, as no one has ever made an international call or text on our phone.
Next steps:
Does anyone have advice for the next steps we should take and how we can get to someone in customer service who can actually help us with this problem, instead of what we experienced on our previous call? Can we demand that Verizon launch an investigation through its fraud department on the activity on this phone, or is this at the discretion of VZW to launch an investigation? I am unsure, since this was not given as an option by the customer service rep...
If we can get Verizon to launch an investigation, is payment of the portion of the bill with the unusual and disputed usage (namely, that which is over and above the usual usage) waived pending the investigation results, or will we have to pay the entire bill to both avoid having the phones turned off, as well as any detrimental effects to our credit? We've been hit hard by the economy, both personally (I am out of work right now) and business wise (my husband's business has been doing only about 25% of its usual business), and we don't have the extra $$ for the bill unless we take it out of our grocery budget.
If anyone has any insight, suggestions or otherwise, I sure would appreciate it. Sorry for the lengthy first post, but I thought it would be helpful to outline as much about the situation as I could in order that people could respond. Thanks in advance!

kbinga,
I know this is a confusing and frustrating situation for you. I would be happy to review the account in detail to see what is happening with the usage and charges to ensure it does not continue to be a problem for you. Please send me a direct message for further support assistance.
Thank you!

Cross-Company Stock Transfer with Delivery and Billing

Hello Fellow Experts and Friends,
I have a situation at a client in California. The client does Make-to-Order sales. The only materials kept in inventory are raw materials and NREs. This client has plants in several countries around the world but only two are on SAP. The current version is 4.6C.
The scenario goes like this. The plant in China (CC: 2020, Plnt: 0020) wants to order raw materials from the US plant (CC: 1010, Plnt: 0010). If the US plant does not have enough stock in inventory, an order needs to be placed with a local vendor. When all materials a re available to ship,we need to deliver to and invoice the China plant. Additionally, shipment notification needs to be sent to the plant in China.
IWould someone please be so kind as to helpme with a "Best Practice" process flow for Cross-Company STO with Delivery and Billing? I also need guidlines for customizing the process in the IMG. This process must include issuing a PO to a local vendor for ordering additional inventory. For the shipment notification, I was thinking of an EDI Advance Shipment Notice if the receiving plant uses EDI. I need a different option, If the receiving palnt does not use EDI.
I am open to your suggestions.
Thanks,
AJ

Arthur,
Once this is correctly set up it works very, very well. And the cross-company supply scenario is actually fairly simple, streamlined and automated. However, this is NOT such a simple process to set up.
True cross-company supply, all the way through, requires a LOT of configuration which ties in SD, MM, FI, and EDI. It uses "wrap-around" IDocs to do some of the cross-posting in other company codes. There is also the issue of Intercompany markups, as well as Intercompany eliminations.
There are LOTS of folks who do the painful process of the FULL Order to Cash in one company code, and the full Purchase to Pay in the other. But this is NOT the right solution and requires almost twice as much transaction processing.
Just for the Intercompany setup, start to finish, I've been working on a "cookbook" to set up all of the modules for almost 10 years now. I've done it several times, at several companies and it works very well once it is all in place. However, that cookbook document is about 100 pages long (config settings, IMG settings, master data requirements, EDI settings, etc.).
Also, in your scenario you are talking about multi-sourcing parts from other locations. All of the related MRP settings are a separate setup issue.
What you are asking is WAYYYYyyy beyond the scope of forum posting. So if your company or client could use some help, please feel free to contact me.

Customer adavnces and retention in Billing

Hello Friends,
Good Morning!
We have customer Advance and retention. These are manual condtion in Sale order(both are Statistical conditions). The clients requirement is flow the accounting documents as below:
Example: customer invoice 100000
               Advance     (A)   (10000)
               Retention   (Z)    (10000)
               Sales revenue     100000
The billing document should be like
Customer a/c       DR    80000
Cust spl GL A      DR    10000
Cust spl GL Z      DR    10000
sale revenue        CR 100000
Could any one let me know whether this configuration is possible or not.
Or how can we deal this issue.
Thanks!
SK

Yes SK,
it is possible. You have to create special GL for it thru OBXR. Then u can pass advance & retention spelciasl transactions...
After that, u can pass enteries as u want. Also u may have to clear these items thru f-32
