PS for Milestone Billing

Our company supply materials to construction company. The periodic billing is configured as of now. If a new project starts the material is dispatched in phases.
In order to distribute the cost over project, the Milestone billing feature would help.
But slightly confused regarding linkage of milestone biling with Prohject system module. Do each and every project is to be created in PS for using this functionality. Or have to configure only mile stone billing in SD.
Kindly help.
thanks

Error while creating Credit Memo Request for Milestone billing invoice

Hi All,
I have a scenario where i have Milestone billing(% based) at header level in Contracts. I create Invoice for that and then try to create Credit Memo Request with reference to the Invoice.
Problem comes when we try to change the qty in the credit memo request. we are able to change the qty but the value is not changing. It remains the same constant value of that milestone.
In my copy control from Invoice to Credit memo request for the item category i have maintained the pricing type as "C" because i want to copy and manual conditions.
So kindly let me know which config setting should be done so that whenever i change the qty the value should also be changed.
Please Note : This is happening only when my billing plan is at header level. For Billing plan at Item level its working fine.....
Thanks.....

Hiiii.....
Can anyone please advise on the below issue of mine.....
Thanks alot for the help.......in advance

WBS element field in SO for milestone billing

Hi,
I am using Milestone billing. When I am trying to create the Sales order the WBS element field is greyed out. Pleae advise.
Regards,
Santanu

Hi Shantanu,
I think you need to remove the assignment of the requirement type KE from your item category. I gues you are using TAO as the item category for Milestone.
You go to Sales and DistributionBasic FunctionsAvailability Check and Transfer of RequirementsTransfer of RequirementsDetermination Of Requirement Types Using Transaction.
Hope it helps.

WBS assigment for Milestone Billing

Hi,
I am assigning milestones to the activities in my project.
I need a particular WBS to be assigned to only one Sales Order. The system is allowing me to assign the same WBS to another Sales Order also. Therefore copies all the milestones to the new sales order and allows me to do the milestone billing for same WBS again. [Twice]
Is there any way to restrict the same WBS being assigned to several Sales Orders and avoid billing for the same WBS again and again.
Please suggest.
Thanks & Regards,
Kabir

U check with SD consultant as suggested by Mrinal.....It is also possible to restrict the assignment using user status...but this has to be done manually...once the user assign the WBS to sales order, he can select an user status manually which restricts the business transaction "Create Sales document"...this will not allow you to assign WBS to new sales order...but this is manual process.

Hello Saravanan,
Milestone billing means distributing the total amount to be billed over multiple billing
dates in the billing plan.
As each milestone is successfully reached, the customer is billed either a percentage of
the entire project cost or simply a pre-defined amount.
During sales order processing, the system determines from the item category whether a
billing plan is required and, if so, which type of plan
The type of billing plan that is determined at this point is set up in Customizing and
cannot be changed in the sales document.
Billing plans for periodic billing and milestone billing plans for project-related milestone
billing have different overview screens so that you can enter data relevant to your
processing.
For example, for milestone billing, you must be able to enter data to identify the
individual milestones.
IMG configuration requires :-
1. Maintain billing plan types for milestone billing in OVBO.
2. Define date description in SM30 - V_TVTB.
3. Maintain Date Category for Billing Plan Type IN OVBJ.
4. Allocate date category in SM30 - V_TFPLA_TY.
5. Maintain date proposal for Billing Plan Type in OVBM.
6. Assign Billing Plan Type to Sales Documents Type in OVBP.
7. Assign Billing Plan Type to Item Categories in OVBR.
8. Define rules for determining the date in OVBS.
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.
The connection between the project and the sales document item is made in the individual
schedule lines of the item. Each schedule item can be assigned to a network in a project.
To display the project-related data for a schedule line, proceed as follows:
In one of the overview screens of the sales document, select
1. Item -> Schedule lines.
2. Mark the schedule line and select Procurement details.
The following figure shows an example of milestone billing where only the Contract have
been billed :
Order Item Turbine    100,000
Billing Plan
Billing date Description    % Value Billing Block   Milestone   Billing Status
01-10-94     Contract      10 10,000      -             x           x
01-03-95     Assembly      30 30,000      x             x
01-04-95     Maintenance   30 30,000      x             x
01-05-95     Acceptance    30 30,000      x             x
01-06-95     Final invoice ..    ..        x
Network/Activities
Milestone    Estimate      Actual
Assembly     01-03-95      01-03-95
Maintenance 01-04-95
Acceptance   01-05-95
For each billing date in a milestone billing plan, you can specify whether the billing
date is:
1. fixed
2. always updated with the actual date of the milestone
3. updated with the actual date of the milestone, if the date is earlier than the
    planned billing date for the date

Milestone billing not splitting the invoice

Hi,
i specified Milestone Billing during a Sales Order but when i try to bill the customer using transaction VF01,
it bills the whole amount of the Sales Order even though i specified only 25% to be billed.
For example, i created a Sales Order with net amount $100, and specified in the Billing Plan for it
to invoice the customer 25% today. But when i do simulate the billing using transaction VF04, it
shows the invoiced amount as $100 instead of $25.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance.

Hi SHAMBHU SARKAR,
I got milestone billing to work by specifying billing type F2 under the 'Billing plan' tab in transaction VA02.
Also make sure that your 'Date Category' in the 'Billing plan' tab is set to 01 for milestone billing.
Otherwise, go to SPRO -> Sales and Distribution -> Billing -> Billing Plan ->.... to check that your settings are correct and that
you have assigned a Billing Plan to either your Sales Document Type or your Item Category depending
on whether you want to use milestone billing at header level or line item level.
Hope this helps.
Good luck!

SD Cycle in PS
i would like to add one more doubt.
My client want to copy milestone only when milestone POC is completed.
Like After Completion of 30% of work,Billing must be copied from it.
System does not allow you to exit untill u complete 100% billing in sales order.

You can create activities for each task and attach milestone on it. when you complete the task confirm the activity so system will automatically confirm milestone as well, which will remove the billing block.

Milestone billing, the system only allows pricing types D, G and K

Hi,
I would like to use pricing type as C Copy manual pricing elements and redetermine the others for Mile stone billing item catagory.(VTFA copy control setup)
While changing pricing type from G to C in copy control VTFA - ITEM LEVEL, i am getting this beow warning message.
Milestone billing, the system only allows pricing types D, G and K
Could you tell what is impact of this warning message?
Best Regards,
Chandramohan

Read OSS Note 102961 - New pricing type for milestone billing plans.
It looks it used to be error message, until version 4.5A.
This is just to make sure that the cost conditions are adjusted to the billing percentage rate. By keeping value K you can achieve this.

Standard Report for Down Payment Requests of Milestone Billing

Hi Experts,
Is there any Standard SAP Report for Downpayment Requests of Milestone Billing. Where I can view all the downpayment requests for the customers in Milestone Billing Scenario.
I have searched but I'm getting report for Vendors downpayment requests in transaction code FBL1N.
Kindly help to get me this report.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Avinash

Hello,
you can use transaction VF04 to get the list of the downpayment requests to be made, and VF05N for the list of downpayment requests already made (using the proper SD invoice document as selection criteria): this is from an SD point of view.
From an FI point of view transaction FBL5N could help you. Also F-29, as already mentioned, since it provides the list of downpayments to be cleared for a customer.
Best regards,
Andrea
