Purhcase Orders for Renting - Invoice plan

Hello,
I would like to know if anyone of you has had experience with the folowing business situation:
Renting of equipment or vehicules:
A company has a contract with a particular vendor for renting equipments and /or vehicules.
If a particular Plant needs to rent a vehicule for lets say 2 years, the purchasing department creates a Purchase Order with 2 years term on the basis of which, the supplier invoices monthly a pre-established amount.
To complicate a bit further, the monthly invoice from the vendor in a lot of cases is for the total amount of vehicule renting in all plants of the company.
Also we want to use Contract -management in SAP for the renting of vehicules in which the monthly invoice is consuming the amount agreed in the contract.
How can one map this business case in SAP without using the funcionality of an Invoicing Plan (our client does not want to generate the invoice automaticaly)
Note: We do not use the Goods/service Receipt funcionality of MM in this proyect.
I looked at partial invoicing but then the total amount due at a certain date is shown in the MIRO transaction and not the monthly amount due to be invoiced.
Can anyone help me. Give me some clues how I can resolve this Case in SAP.
Thanks,
Aart

Hi,
The periodic invoicing plan is the best one which would suffice your need. But as you have mentioned that you dont want to have the automated invoice generation, you can go for Blanket / Framework orders (FO doc type). Here you would need to give the limit value and the validity period for the agreement with the vendor. you would not require the GR or Sevice entries to be done. You can create manual invoice verification- IR. The only drawback is that you cannot get the monthly fixed amounts defaulted in the Invoice verification, manully the monthly amount has to be entered- everytime you create the invoice.
Also the PO and invoice verification in MM will always be plant based. So if you want to do this processing in a consolidated way (if consolidated invoice will be received) then you can also look out for options in FI module. I hope Lease accounting can provide you some option here. check with your FI consultant.

Hi,
   As of my knowledge, there is no option to make the push button "Invoicing Plan" mandatory in standard.
   If the user click on the invoicing plan button, the remaining fields will appear. These fields can be made mandatory, through transaction variant for ME21N using SHD0 transaction. But if the user forget to click on "Invoicing plan" button, the transaction variant will fail.
   If you want to make the invoicing plan button mandatory, you may to go for development. There is no configuration option as of my knowledge.

How to cummulate sales orders for creating one planned order.

Hello friends,
My scenario is make to stock. I use sales orders for creating plan only. I want to cummulate all sales orders of one finish material and create one planned order for that material when i run mrp. How can i do this?
Thanks

Kiran,
What is the planning strategy you are using?
Does all the sales order requirment same? If it is same then it is possible. Please explain more in details. If not you need to look at using some perodic lotsize procedure to combine requirments. Like "Daily", Weekly" "Month" etc..

Issues in Sales Order for Customs invoice.

Hi Experts,
Have created a S/O 'A' is for a part at no charge, with value on Sales Order = 0.00
Woth refernce to this SO we created the delivery 'B' and then the customs invoice 'C' through VF01 with billing type ZF8.
The Customs Invoice brings in a value of some X $.
My question is how this happens and where it comes from. Using this same process (happened in Invoice), I need to attribute the same value to all Sales Orders and Deliveries. Please help.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Please check for what is the pricing procedure picked up at sales order level and what is the pricing procedure at Invoicing level.
There might be the probability that system is redetermining the pricing procedure.
Also at copy control level delivery-Invoice VTFL check for from where you are pulling the price, it should be from sales order.
Hope this information will help you.
Thanks.................Rishi

Purchase Order with Invoice Plan

Hi,
I need to understand working with Invoicing plans for a Purchase Order. Especially the service PO for the rents and other related services.
How the PO is linked to the Invoice Plan and how the process happens in SAP?
Thanks in advance!

Creating an Invoicing Plan
The following procedure describes how to create an invoicing plan with the pre-Enjoy ordering transactions (ME21, ME22, ME23).
The procedure described is also applicable u2013 with certain restrictions u2013 to the Enjoy purchase order (ME21N, ME22N, ME23N).
If you are using the Enjoy purchase order, you will find:
·         The Invoicing Plan button and the indicators for GR-based invoice verification (GR-Based IV), service-based invoice verification (Srv.-Based IV), evaluated receipt settlement (ERS), and invoice receipt (Inv. Receipt) among the item details on the Invoice tab page.
·         The account assignment among the item details on the Account Assignment tab page
·         The Goods Receipt and GR Non-Valuatedindicators among the item details on the Delivery tab page
Prerequisites
Vendor Master Record
Before you can use the invoicing plan with automatic settlement, the Evaluated Receipt Settlement Delivery indicator must be set on the Purchasing Data screen in the vendor master record.
(If you wish to enter invoicing dates manually, this is not necessary.)
Purchase Order
●     We recommend using a framework order (that is a purchase order with a validity period and a reason for rejection). The invoicing plan can adopt the validity period specified in the PO header.
●     PO items for which you wish to use an invoicing plan must have account assignment irrespective of whether a material with a master record, a material described by a short text, or an external service is involved.
●     The GR/IR control facility must be set up in such a way that no goods receipt (or, in the case of services, no service entry) is expected - only an incoming invoice. If you wish to have automatic settlement, you must also set the Evaluated Receipt Settlement indicator.
If you nevertheless wish to allow service entry sheets for the item (e.g. for information purposes only), you must set the GR Non-Val. indicator.
Customizing
Under Purchase Order à Invoicing Plan in Customizing for Purchasing, you can maintain data such as the desired invoicing plan types, date categories, and date descriptions.
Procedure
       1.      Create a purchase order with account assignment (framework order).
Click to access the item overview (or the overview of service lines if you chose item category D for services).
       2.      Enter the desired material or service, the quantity, and the price.
       3.      Select the desired item and click Account Assignments to access the account assignment screen. Enter the account assignment for this item.
       4.      Click to access the item detail screen. Check that the GR/IR control indicators are set correctly on the item detail screen.
○     The GR and GR-Based Invoice Verification or Service-Based Invoice Verification indicators must not be set.
○     IR must be set.
○     You must set ERS if you wish to have Evaluated Receipt Settlement.
○     If you wish to have service entry sheets purely for information, for example, allow non-valuated goods receipt (i.e. select the GR Non-Val and GR indicators).
       5.      Choose Item ® Invoicing Plan. A window appears, in which the invoicing plan types predefined in Customizing are suggested. Choose the desired invoicing plan type and click Continue.
You can use the following invoicing plan types:
○     Periodic Invoicing Plan
■      You use the periodic invoicing plan if the total value of the PO item is to be invoiced in each period.
■      The system creates the invoicing dates automatically on the basis of the settings in Customizing.
■      The invoicing date and the amount to be invoiced are shown for each settlement period (e.g. month). In the case of the periodic invoicing plan, the amount represents the total value of the PO item.
■      You can change the suggested dates and block individual dates for automatic invoicing if necessary.
■      You can enter the start and end dates for the invoicing plan.
■      With the Dates from and Dates to fields, you can determine that an invoicing plan does not contain invoicing dates extending over the entire validity period of the purchase order but only for a certain period within that validity period. (E.g. within a validity period from 1.1. to 12.31, only dates within the period 1.1. to 06.30.)
■      With the Horizon field, you control how far into the future dates can be created. If you enter a date rule that adds six months to the current date here, invoicing dates will be created for just half a year in advance in each case.
The system automatically creates new dates if you change the invoicing plan or when you invoke the transaction for Updating Periodic Invoicing Plans. See Generating Further Invoicing Plan Dates
■      The In Advance indicator allows you to specify whether the invoice is to be created with regard to a prior or subsequent period. (E.g. at the beginning of February, either in advance for the month of February or in arrears for the month of January).
■      In addition, fields with information on the existing invoicing plan are displayed (e.g. the calendar upon which the date determination process is based).
○     Partial Invoicing Plan
■      You use the partial invoicing plan if the total value of the PO item is to be invoiced in several partial amounts.
■      You get an empty date overview in which you can manually enter the desired dates.
■      If you work with a reference invoicing plan, the system automatically generates dates in accordance with the reference plan.
You have the following options:
●      You create a reference invoicing plan in Customizing for the invoicing plan type.
●      You enter an existing invoicing plan as reference plan directly in the invoicing plan for the PO item.
■      You can flag a date in field B (Billing/Invoicing Rule) as follows:
●      As a down payment (percentage or value)
●      As an invoicing date (percentage or value)
●      As a final invoice
       6.      Click to return to the item overview.
       7.      Click to save the purchase order item with the invoicing plan.
You can then start the automatic invoice creation process during invoice verification.
For more information, refer to the section Settlement of Amounts Due Under Invoicing Plans.
Once assigned to an item, the invoicing plan type (e.g. partial invoicing plan) cannot be changed. If you wish to assign a different invoicing plan type, you must delete the item and create a new one.
Generating Further Invoicing Plan Dates
If you have assigned a periodic invoicing plan to a PO item but have not initially defined invoicing dates covering the entire validity period of the purchase order, you can generate further dates in due course.
You have created a PO item with a periodic invoicing plan for a certain planned procurement. The purchase order is valid from 1.1. to 12.31. When creating the invoicing plan, you specified one invoicing date per month for the first half of the year. You have not yet planned any dates for the second half of the year because you do not wish information from the invoicing plan to be passed on to purchase order commitments at this stage, for example.
By mid-June, it is clear that the PO is to proceed as envisaged, and you therefore wish to schedule invoicing dates for the remainder of its validity period.
Procedure
To schedule further invoicing dates, proceed as follows:
Choose Purchase order ® Follow-on functions ® Period. invoicing plan
Specify the purchase orders for which invoicing dates are to be generated in the invoicing plan and perform the function.
A log can be created if desired.
Result
The system adds further dates on the basis of information such as the validity period or horizon from Customizing, the purchase order, and the invoicing plan.

indranil

PO Number and Line Item Number for Invoice Plan Number

Hi Experts,
Can somebody please guide me how to fetch the PO Number and respective PO Line Item Number for an Invoice Plan (FPLNR).
In FPLA Table, PO number is available but line item number is not available. If a PO is having multiple line items, different line items will have different Invoice Plan numbers.
Thanks in Advance.
Radha Krishna Madineedi

Hi Ramesh,
I have got the answer after posting this thread. We can get the PO Number and the Line Item from EKPO Table itself by passing the FPLNR.
Anyway, thanks for your reply.

Invoice Planning

hai ,
At present we are in new implementation ,my client have a godown (on rental) and they are paying the rent on 5th of every month .so we plan for periodical invoice planning .
So i gone through the SAP Help .but i didnt able to understand the control datas like
u2022 Horizon,
u2022 Dialog purchase order
u2022 Maintain the date category
kindly explain the partial invoice planning customization settings in breif.it will be more useful for our ongoing project.
thank you
with regards
Peter .

Hi Peter,
Refer the following points :
Following are necessary customizings and preconditions for using the Invoicing Plan functionality in SAP -
1) You must maintain the settings in Customizing for purchasing (for example, invoicing plan type, date categories, date descriptions, and date sequence proposals). The related path is IMG ---> Material Management ---> Purchasing ---> Purchase Order ---> Invoicing Plan ......
2) The Purchasing document with FO Document Type (Framework Order) must be used. This document type requires that a validity period be entered in the PO header. This specification is adopted in the invoicing plan, provided that this has been predefined in Customizing for the relevant invoicing plan type.
3) The purchase order item must have an account assignment.
4) The Logistics Invoice Verification must be used.
5) The vendor must have agreed to use the automatic invoice creation facility (since we will use automatic settlement to create the invoice). In this case, the 'AutoEvalGRSetmtDel.' indicator must be flagged in the vendor master record.
Furthermore, once Purchase Order is created with order type FO, ensure that the indicators for GR/IR control have been set correctly on the item detail screen. The Goods Receipt indicator may only be set in combination with the Goods Receipt Non-Valuated indicator. The Invoice indicator must be set. For the automatic creation of invoices, the ERS (Evaluated Receipt Settlement) indicator must be also set. A further prerequisite for automatic settlement is that a tax code must be entered in the purchase order.

Partial Invoice Planning

Hai
Now we are in a Blue Print stage.we have a requirement for Partial Invoice Planning. so kindly Explain the Partial Invoice Planning customization settings in breif.it will be more useful for our ongoing project.
Regards
peter

Hi
These are the configuration settings required.
SPRO-> IMG-> Materials Management-> Purchasing-> Purchase Order-> Invoicing Plan-> Invoicing Plan Types-> Maintain Partial Invoicing Plan Types
In this step, you define partial invoicing plan types by specifying the relevant control data for each desired instance.
For each partial invoicing plan type, you can store a reference plan (for the definition of the reference plan, see the step "Maintain date proposal for partial invoicing plans").
In PO processing with this invoicing plan type, the dates are taken from this reference plan, revised on the basis of the current rules, and inserted into the invoicing plan.
Activities
1. To create an invoicing plan type, you must enter an alphanumeric key of max. two characters in length, plus a descriptive text.
2. Maintain the relevant control data on the detail screen for the invoicing plan type.
You can carry out the config bbelow these steps based on your sytem requiremnts.
Please go through the link for more details on the procvcess
