DMR from DP91 ( Resource related Billing)

Dear Team,
We are creating a Debit Memo Request from DP91 for a resource related billing. The reference SD document for DP91 is a contract.
The Sales unit in this case is 'HR - Hours" . But when the Debit memo is created , pricing picks up another unit of measurement i.e. H- Hour. Hence my price conversion in condition screen looks like this :
"EK01" = 100 H.... 3600 HR = 3600 H.
(This specifically happens for EK01 condition type.)
Kindly help in resolving this issue. Also pls let me know in case any further info required.
Regards,
Kanwar

Hi,
I understand your process is like service processing with a service contract.
Here you raise a service order were you maintain your Unit at the bottom of header screen of service order (IW31), in "Oprtn Duration" along with time.
I hope you have maintained controll Key "sm02/sm03"
then try ref. to the service order >Serviice confirmation (IW41)> DP90> DMR > Billing (RRB).
It sould work out
here It has nothing to do with pricing.
I hope my solution is relevent to your context, if not pls revert back.
regards

How to determine prices in Resource Related Billing(RRB)

Dear Experts,
I am working for service related client.in this SD,PS,HR and CO are integrated.
from SD i have to create resource related billing.here while running DP91 how the system determines the resources related pricing.
My doubts are:
1.Whether prices are determined automatically or we will maintain manually?
2.If prices are automatically:how and where we maintain?
3.If prices are manually:how and when to maintain?
I heard that to determine prices automatically by system i have to create Z table.
Z table because,prices are differ from projects,and position of the employee.
Thanks for helping,
Ravikumar.R

Yes, price determination is automatic
If you have worked on DIP profile, there you might have come across term called Source.
Based on the source system determines the pricing data.
And SAP provide 9 different sources for different process like:
1.
Actual costs - Line items (most popular)
2.
Actual costs - Totals records
3.
Statistical indicators - Line items
4.
Statistical indicators - Totals record
5.
Funds - Line items
6.
Funds - Totals records
7.
Planned Statistical indicators - Totals records
8.
Planned costs - Totals records
9.
Easy Cost Planning (Generally used with PS Project)
Details of source each can be learnt from SAP Help.

Can anyone explain Resource Related Billing process?

I tried reading everywhere about Resource Related Billing. Trying to learn about this. Please help me in understand this.
What is the document flow for this?
Is it like - Service Order(or Sales Documetn) is created.......then Delivery.....Invoice........DMR.......and then .Debit Memo???
Is it bcoz we can't include all the costs incurred during the service in the Order, we need to created DMR for the DIP profile?
I saw online somewhere where they created Service ORder using text item. Once the service was provided, they removed the text item and added the two materials...one for service and and one for material used. Delivery was created. Later Invoice. Here in this case....there is no need for DMR.
Then why do we use Resource related billing? Why can't we just follow the above process?
Is it same for Service Contracts also? Service Contract.........Billing.......DMR........and then DM
Is Service management Module a better substitute for REsource related scenario?? Somewhere I read when Service Management Module is not there......we can go with this.
I am reading now SAP Consulting notes available for DIP profile. Very good one....but trying to understand the flow of this process.
Will definitely award point for good info.

hi,
The Price of a Customer-specific services are not determined by Standard Prices .
For example
Make to order production
Plant maintenace
Resource related Billing is used in the CUSTOMER SERVICE and PROJECT SYSTEMS
We use the RRB process to bill the customer for the Material consumed and the Costs incurred in the customer project.
The flow is
Create the Sales order in VA01 which has the DIP profile assigned
Now Using the Sales order create the BILLING REQUEST in DP91
now create the Billing document in VF01 using hte Billing request in DP91
VA01DP91VF01
this is the flow
Please check and revet.

Resource related billing and service quotation

Dear gurus,
can anyone explain the process of resource related billing and service quotation in step by step.
if possible mail me the screen shots also in this email-id
[email protected]

hi,
Maintaining Profiles for Sales Order and Billing Request
Use
The Dynamic Item Processor (DIP) profile defines and controls resource-related quotation and billing for service orders and sales documents. It may be maintained in either the Customer Service or the Sales and Distribution section of the IMG. The DIP profile allows flexible determination and translation of actual labor, material and other costs into sales materials for appropriate pricing and billing.
DIP profiles BC10 is used exclusively in the value chain for time and material project.
Integration
The DIP profile functionality is closely integrated with the controlling module for the processing of cost objects into sales materials.
Prerequisites
Relevant sales document types, condition records, sales materials have been created.
Procedure
Access the activity using one of the following navigation options:
IMG Menu Project System ® Revenues and Earnings ® Integration with SD documents ® Creating Quotations and Project Billing ® Maintain Profiles for Quotations and Billing
Transaction Code ODP12.
Activities:
In the configuration item Profiles for Sales Order, Billing, Results Analysis, choose profiles BC12.
The DIP profile can be used for processing resource-related billing and results analysis, as well as for generating resource-related quotations. To do so, sales document types must be defined for each usage. Access the Usage section of the profile and maintain the following entries:
DI Usage SD Ty BC12
1 Billing & Results Analysis Z2TC
all other fields leave blank
Access the characteristics section of each profile. The characteristics are the objects which the system will take into consideration when processing and displaying resource-related billing. For both billing and order usages, set the characteristics as follows (note that other settings are automatically defaulted in by the system):
Characteristic Charact
Relevant Material Determ NoSummarizat. Structuring Sequence
Z2TC
Accounting Indicator X
Activity Type X X X
Object number X
Period X
Transaction Currency X X
Unit of Measure X X
all other fields leave blank
The sources section determines what type of costs will be selected by the DIP profile for each usage. More detailed selection criteria are available, but not maintained in this setting. Access the sources section of each profile and maintain the following entries:
Line Source Percentage
1 0001 Actual Cost - Line 100
Access the material determination and criteria sections of the profile. Material determination defines the sales materials that costs will be converted into. The criteria defines cost element groups (cost elements are determined from the labor activity type or the component account assignment) that correspond to each material. For both billing and quotation usages, define material determination as follows:
Material/Service Material Determination:
Transfer Quantity/Costs Material Determination:
Conversion Quantity Criteria:
Activity Type
Z2TC
I00342 X (Transfer Cost & Qty) Checked
I00984 X Checked
all other fields leave blank
To confirm that all entries and settings in the DIP profiles are consistent, go to the configuration item check profile settings. Enter the DIP profile and execute. Green traffic lights should be displayed next to all items for both usages. Otherwise, determine the inconsistency and make the necessary correction.
Go through t.code DP90
1.U will get "resource related billing request initial screen.
2.U enter ur "Srevice order", then select "Expences" button.
3.u get " Billing request for resource related billing document" Here the columns for "Open amt" and "Amt. to billed" equal the transactions that have posted to the project and have not been billed. To continue, press the "Billing request " button. The system will ask you if you really want to do this -- say "yes"
Then u will get the overview screen.
Link service order to a quotation thru transaction DP90. The quotation will be created with reference to the service order. The business scenario is that you are creating a quotation for the job to be done. The line items in the quotation are based on resources and materials planned in service order.

RRB - Resource Related Billing

Hi,
Could some one throw light on this topic...I have absolutely no idea about it.
Thanks.

Hi ,
check the same in SPRO->SD->Sales--->Customer Services.
Profiles For Resource-Related Billing/Quotation Creation
This IMG activity enables you to create profiles (dynamic item processor profiles) for billing, creating quotations and analysingresults.
A profile must be assigned to the item in a sales document or service order before you can bill the item for a sales document or a service order, or create a quotation for it.
You can maintain default values for the profile:
In the Define item categories IMG activity, you can specify a proposed profile for the item in the sales document.
Profile levels
The profile contains the following levels:
Profile (header)
Usage
Characteristics
Sources
Selection criteria
Material determination
Material determination criteria
Profile (header)
In the profile header, you can save a description for the profile with a short text.
Usage
In this level, use the Usage field to enter where you want to use the profile. Maintain the following levels for each usage that you've mentioned.
The profile can be used in the following:
Billing and results analysis
Creating quotations
If the system reveals the costs or expenses, then you should use the Assign conditions to sales document types activity to store the required conditions for each sales document that you wish to create.
In the sales document type field, enter the relevant sales document type that you wish to create, for example, sales document type "QT" or the document type that you wish to use for quotations.
You can only specify the sales document type for credit memo requests if you are using the profile for billing.
You can use the warranty check indicator to control whether the system should run a warranty check during billing, for example.
Characteristics
The following characteristics are available:
Document number
Accounting indicator
Posting line
Form of billing
Commitment item
Cost center
Cost element
Activity type
Material
Unit of measure
Object type
Object number
Period
Product
Statistical key figure
Transaction currency
Version
Plant
Plant category
In the AD010003 user exit, you can define your own characteristics and enter their values.
You can control different functions for each characteristic in this level:
Relevant characteristic: Defines whether the characteristic should be read from the source
Material determination: Defines whether the characteristic should be available in the material determination criteria
No summarization: Defines how summarization should look before the sales document is generated
Structuring: Defines whether the characteristic should be included in the structure of the overview screen (for example, for billing)
Sequence: Here you enter the sequence of the structure you require for the characteristics that should be included in the structure.
Set ID: Enter a set that you want to use for the structuring.
Enter the type of explosion you require for the set in the overview screen in the Explode, Do not explode, Only single value, From level, To level undIndividual value fields.
Sources
Here you can specify the source from which the dynamic items should be taken.
The following sources are available:
0001 Actual costs for line items
0002 Actual costs for totals records
0003 Statistical key figures for line items
0004 Statistical key figures for totals records
0005 Funds for line items
0006 Funds for totals records
0021 Planned costs for totals records
You can use the AD010005 user exit to define your own sources.
In the overview table you can see which characteristics the system can determine from which sources.
You can also:
Save a proposed percentage rate
Use the Only basis for surcharges field to control whether the source should only be used as the basis for an overhead calculation
Specify a costing sheet and an overhead key for the overhead calculation
Selection criteria
In this level, you can use a set to specify criteria for those characteristics selected as "characteristics" in the level, which specify which data is read from the source. If, for example, you only want to use data with the activity types "Activ1" and "Activ2" for forming dynamic items, you must enter a set for the "Activity type" characteristic that contains both these activity types.
Material determination
This is where you enter the materials/services that should be assigned to the dynamic items.
The Use material from posting indicator controls whether the material should be assigned to the dynamic items from the source.
You can activate the Individual billing items indicator to switch summarization on or off before you generate the sales document, such as billing request.
Use the Use source quantity indicator to specify whether the quantity should be used from the sources selected in the "Source" level.
Material determination criteria
In this level you determine the criteria for the characteristic attribute. You determine which material or which service the system should assign to a dynamic item for a certain characteristic.
If, for example, you want to assign the material/service "Mat1" to dynamic items with activity type "Activ1" and material/service "Mat2" to dynamic items with activity type "Activ2", a set has to be assigned to the "activity type" characteristic in the criteria for "Mat1". This set must contain the activity type "Activ1" and the set for "Mat2" must contain the activity type "Activ2".
Further notes
Create set
Create cost element group
Create cost center group
Create activity type group
Create statistical key figure group

Hi,
Can anybody give me some config doc on RRB or send to [email protected]
Thanking you

HI REFER BELOW REWARD IF HELPS

Resource-Related Billing
Use
The prices for services performed for individual customers are not always stored as fixed prices in a contract or determined using the standard pricing procedure. For example, you may be performing work that is wholly new for you. Typical examples of this are
Make-to-order production
External maintenance in the service company
Specific services, such as consulting
Orders like these are billed on a resource-related basis. In the billing document, the customer is provided with information on, for example, individual materials, internal activities, and costs. The billing document is based on the billing request .
Implementation Considerations
The resource-related billing function that was available before Release 4.5A ( static processing) has been replaced by an extended resource-related billing function. A conversion program (report RDPFLOW00) is provided to enable you to convert from the old to the new billing functions.
Features
Pricing
The system uses a pricing procedure to determine the prices for the subsequent billing request, based on the quantity and material. You can edit the billing request in the following views:
Expenditure view
Sales price view
For more information, see Pricing .
Application
You can use resource-related billing for the following objects:
Items in an SD document with controlling objects (that is, costs and revenues are recorded in the SD document)
Items in an SD document referencing a WBS element from a customer project
Items in an SD document referencing a production order or internal order
Non-revenue-bearing service orders referencing an item of the sales document
Revenue-bearing service orders
This means you can use resource-related billing in the Customer Service (CS), Sales and Distribution (SD),and Project System (PS) application components when processing sales and service orders.
For more information on resource-related billing in the application components, see:
Billing Process (CS)
Billing Process (PS)

Error while creating Resource Related Billing

Hi, I've created service notification from IW51 and then service order for the same. I've created confirmation for the order from IW41. Now when I'm attempting to create resource related billing document in DP90 referring the service order, the system is showing "No expenditure items found".
I want to know the cause for this problem and the procedure to remove. the same.
Regards,
Pavi Ranjan

Enter the actual work in during IW41 - create confirmation. Then only the costing will get calculated accordingly.

Sales Order Line item status with Resource Related Billing

Hi
The Resource related billing is done based on the costs accumulated on account assigned WBS Element. The WBS Element system status is set 'Finally Billed'. The overall status of Sales Order line item is still 'open' and does show up in 'Open Order' reports.
SAP vide their note 439288 recommends running report SDVBUK00 to correct the sales Order item status. However this note is applicable only upto 4.6C. Our system in ECC 6.0. We tried running this report and did not get desired results. We checked the program and discovered that the corrections suggested as per above note, are not available.
Is there any new SAP note applicable for ECC 6.0 needs to be applied ? Or is there any other report needs to be run in case of ECC6.0?
Thanks in advance
with regards

Billing request? or Resource Related billing?

Hi,
Please read the real life SD - FICO scenario given below and if you think you have the solution, kindly state your suggestion. Would be much appreciated.
===================================================
Engineering Services Orders (Inter-company)
Process Steps (As-is)
1.Purchase Order is received in Co. A via EDI, from Co. B
2.Sales Order (services) is automatically generated in Co. A. It has item 10 as hours and item 20 as travel expenses in $ amount
Sales accounting creates settlement rule and internal order number and advises the engineers who will provide the services
3.Later on, engineers report actual hours for services rendered, by using CATS system This merely reports data in SAP system but does not make an FI posting
They use the order number advised to them in step 2 to create an internal order
4 Actual travel expenses are added by Payroll - as a direct posting to FI
5. Periodic CATS batch job is carried out by relevant IT person, to settle costs to an internal order (not to sales order). These costs are labor hours and travel expenses
6. FICO personnel then do transaction K08G to settle internal order --> sales order
7. (Manual Step) Sales Accounting then runs report KVBI to view and select data related to service orders The data is downloaded to an Excel worksheet and handed over to SD-Billing.
8. (Manual step) The cost data in dollar figures is converted to hours by SD-Billing, dividing cost data with rate / hour given in the sales order condition record
9. SD-Billing creates invoice. Since it is order-related invoice, it has open quantities coming in from the order. These are now manually over-written / replaced with the actual data from step 7 & 8. An invoice is thus, generated for each order individually.
Process (To-be)
To create an interim document (billing request?) to replace manual steps 7 and 8. This interim document needs to capture actual cost data form the system and also show the remaining / open quantities from the sales order
QUESTION: what is the best route to go?
Configure a Billing Request document (by modifying a standard Credit Memo Request / Debit Memo Request) or
Going via the route of resource-related billing?

Refer to the document: J48 - Project with Intercompany Billing
Link: http://help.sap.com/bp_blv1500/BL_India/index.htm
This is a very good document for guidance.

How to map Resource related billing through sap pm

Hi all,
I have a new requirement from one of my client.
one plant(says A) provides the maintenance workers to other plant(Says B).
Plant A charge on hourly basis to plant B. Workers fill time sheet daily.
Then how to map this scenario through sap pm.
i guess it should be done through work center. kindly share.

For scenarios where the plants share the same company code, then you execute and settle your work orders as per normal.
Typically this involves the sending (from work centre) and receiving (settlement) costs centres posting actual costs.
The cost centre managers can then determine how much to back-charge. This task is often performed by the Finance Team.
For scenarios where the plants do not share the same company code, then you have a few options:
Resource related billing (see link above)
Plant A creates a PR/PO against Plant B. Then plant B creates a Sales Order against Plant A. This can be automated. The PR/PO could be linked to the order directly, or via a contract, or not at all..

Hi,
In your RRB settings if you have specified the source as Actual Costs system will look for objects where the actual costs are posted. Hence, i feel system is behaving as designed. Lets wait for others to comment as well.
