Relation between Payment term and Billing Plan

Hi All,
I have gone through series of thread on Milestone billing and the Billing plan concept is understood but still I have a confusion regarding the relation between Payment Term that we maintain in OBB8 and the Billing plan that we maintain. practically both seems same.
For ex. Milestone Linked plan where 30% payment to be received on the completion of X work and 70% on the completion of Z work. what should be the payment term for this kind of milestone billing?
Please suggest.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
First there is one major difference between payment terms and billing plan.
Payment terms will come into effect once billing is done, based on the conditions of payment terms system decides whether a certain line item is  not due or overdue.
Billing plan on the other hand decides when to bill the first installment and when to bill second installment and final payment etc.
For example:
for a order with billing plan has total value of INR 1000
date                         Mile stone             percentage        Amount
21.10.2011             Advance               10%                       100
31.10.2011             installation              30 %                     300
15.11.2011             Handing over         40  %                    400 
30.11.2011             Final invoice           20%                      200
System will create 4 invoices according to billing plan.
Once the bill is created according to payment terms FBL5n will show the status as not due/ overdue
Hope this helps.

Sharan

  • Relation between Tax Invoice and Billing Document

    Hi,
    Could you please let me know the following;
    1.  How to find a Billing Document from a Tax Invoice number, i,e the table linkage. I have found out a way by passing the XBLNR (tax invoice) field in BKPF table and getting the BELNR (Accounting Document). Now, we can pass BELNR into BSEG and get the VBELN (Billing Document). Is the above the correct method ?
    2. If the previous method mentioned is correct, then for Service related Invoices where there are no Sales Document or Delivery is created, we are unable to link the Tax Invoice to a Billing Document (the field VBELN in BSEG is empty).
    Could you please help in this regards.
    Thanks & Regards,

    hi
    Payment terms are generally used in domestic procurement cycle.
    It generally related to payment due to vendor like Advance, Immediate on delivery, 30 days, 60 days, 90 days and above. Based on this the cost /discount of material

    i) Payment Terms : Advance, DA , DP and LC
    ii) Delivery Terms : There are 12 different terms,general used terms are CIF, CFR and FOB.
    1) The shipping terms Seller and Buyer.
    2) CIF, CFR and FOB are in used for Foreign Trade by Air/Sea / Multimodel Transport.
    3) from port of loading to destination port.
    4) EXWORKS in domestic trade
    6) insurance will take care of various clauses of sea and air and most important element/doc in foreign trade.
    Note : Here Freight means : sea or Air or rail/road.
    In all cases All clearing, custom duties, freight from port to factory are paid by the buyer.
    5) CIF : Cost of goods, Insurance & Freight (sea or air ) - Seller will bear CIF till destination port.
    6) CFR/C&F : Cost (C) and(R) Freight(F) without insurance coverage. Buyer will take insurance on receipt of a fax invoice from seller before the shipment.

    Dear Friends,
    In the billing document where to put payment terms and text column, so that it would appear in the accounting document generated. In the accounting document  payment terms column and text column is to be captured in the GL line item level.
    Is there any possibility.
    Thanks

    When you create a customer master there you can enter the payment terms, and also at the time of sale order creation which will be passed on to the accounting document.  But i am not sure if the payment text to be populated in the GL text.  It seems user exit.  Search for user exit related to billing document.  There is a possibility for the same but i dont remember correct user exit

  • Down Payments with out Billing plans is possible ?

    Hi experts,
    1. Is it possible Receiving down payments with out Billing plans?
    Scenario is customer pays 50% payment firist and remaining amount pays before PGI. so how shall i map? Currently am receiving advance amount by using F-29 t.code.
    2. If customer cancels his Sales Order how shalli pay advance amount return.
    Thanks In advance
    Rajendra

    HI rajendra,
         it is not possible to use downpayments without billing plan.either u have use milestone or periodic billing depending on business requirement.
    if u r recieving advance from customer directly thru FI route ,system would generate accounting doc (parking doc ) as a reference which goes to particular G/l account.
      use that doc number as reference and map it to downpayment condition record thru SD route in vk11,so that when ever u create a sales order system generates downpayment document with ref to this cond record.
    if customer cancels order ,condition record for advance recived still exists which can be used to next transaction as advance.
    but crucial part is once u have done PGI and billing for the advance recieved ,u will have to mark this conditionrecord as deletion or expired.sothat system will not use this or duplicate into other transactions.
    this is feesible and achievable.
    reward if helps !!!!!!

  • Query to check BP Payment terms and Document Payment terms

    Hi All,
    Can any one help me to create an approval query to check the BP payment terms and Document Payment terms are same or not?
    Normally we change our BP payment terms regularly as per the agreements between Customer and us.
    but when we copy any previous document into invoice it calculate the Due date as per previous payment terms. so we need an query to check wether the BP payment terms and document Payment terms are same or not? if it is different they it should ask for authorization from manager or else the document should be saved.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Prachi.

    Hi
    I will test this and will let you know if it works or not?
    Thank you very much.

  • Relation between server's and runtime Data Model?

    I am working on a project utilizing the MVC architecture.
    After some doubts, I decided to create one DataModel class for each table of the server's normalized database and create the necessary relations at runtime and not in SQL prior to download.
    The database is only a few MB and I need the flexibility.
    I would appreciate some links to theoretical material regarding the relation between the runtime and the server's DB data model.

  • HT2731 "valid payment method and billing address"  not succeed

    Thanks

    Do you get any error messages when you fill in your card's details ? And you are trying to add a credit card, not a debit card (there have been a number of posts recently from people whose debit cards are being declined, and they are no longer listed on this page as being a valid payment method), and the card is registered to exactly the same name and address as you have on your iTunes account ?

  • Relations between portal terms "application", "service", "component"?

    Hello everybody.
    Who can explain differences and relations between portal terms "application", "service", "component", "iview"?
    Thanks for attention.

    as i can understand
    application it is set of services and components
    portal components are programms, which generate and produce content
    they are part of applications
    they show user-specific content
    components are represented by iviews, where this content is available
    service only provide different possibilities,and user have no direct use them
    objects are things whith the help of which we can build content
    they are systems, themes, desktops, rule collections, and content objects (iViews, pages, layouts, worksets, and roles)
    is is a clear view or where i was wrong?
    more interesting for me is realtions iview vs component, iview vs application

  • What's the difference/relation between a topic and a page?

    Hello all,
    I'm not sure about the relation between a new page and a topic: it seems that a topic can be composed of pages, but when I look at the topic's HTML, there's no new section (DIV) for the added page.
    Also, am not sure about the relation between the book and the topics/pages.
    Would be grateful if somebody could either point to reference material or provide a few clarifying words on this.
    Many thanks, Donna

    Hello again
    Okay, I'm interpreting that as meaning it really didn't make much better sense to you. I'll take another stab at it.
    When we create content in RoboHelp, we create what most of the world would know as HTML Pages. These are simple files that contain HTML code. And on the World Wide Web, they would be generically called Web Pages.
    But remember, RoboHelp is a Help Authoring application. Not a Web building tool. So while the tool (RoboHelp) actually creates different HTML Pages, in Help Authoring speak, we just call them Topics. Because we are typically describing something helpful. So this Topic is about clearing a paper jam from a printer while this other Topic is about How to Fill Out an Expense Report.
    So generically speaking, each of our HTML Pages in our project is known as a different Topic. Sometimes we mix the terms can call them Topic Pages. So they are sort of synonomous in that respect. HTML Page = Topic
    Now, part of building any respectable help system is the fact that you are able to create a Table of Contents (TOC). Each node (or entry) that is part of your TOC structure likely points to a different Topic in your project. But when we edit the TOC, we generically say we are creating a Page. (This is typically because the TOC most often uses icons that look like Open or Closed Books, with Pages inside each Book that individually point to Topics.)
    Hopefully that makes better sense... Rick
