Service Charge Settlement

Hy,
please can somebody explain me the process of service charge settlement?I don't understand how is using the settlement units and how the postings are made.
Thank you very much.

Hi,
I've added an excerpt of the online documentation of RE-FX which gives an overview over service charge settlement.
I know that are only basics but maybe it helps you to get a better understanding. If not please tell me where you need more detailed explanation.
Regards, Franz
Purpose
You use service charge settlement to distribute apportionable costs that arise during a particular settlement period to the tenants.
Process Flow
Below is a description of the processes involved in service charge settlement.
I.    Master Data for Settlement Unit, Rental Object, and Contract
       1.      Enter measurements in each participating usage object.
       2.      Assign the usage objects to a participation group for each business entity.
       3.      Create a settlement unit for each service charge key, and assign the rental objects participating in the settlement to this settlement unit using the participation group.
If costs for more than one settlement unit were jointly invoiced, you must create a master settlement unit.
       4.      The settlement participation is automatically generated for each contract. However you can define exceptions in each contract.
II.   Incoming Invoice Posting
Account assignment of service charges is made to the respective settlement units or master settlement units in the Financial Accounting (FI) component. The settlement amount is transferred automatically to the correct settlement period by means of the settlement reference date.
For postings with extended withholding tax, only advance payments posted as revenue are considered for the conditions relevant for service charges. The system does not support special general ledger processes with withholding tax. The standard withholding tax term is often used during service charge settlement. You can determine the term from the conditions only in the Transfer Posting Advance Payments Debit Balance settlement mode.
III. Execute Service Charge Settlement
Execute the service charge settlement run at the end of the settlement period:
·        Advance payments are transferred in a batch input session.
·        There are several steps involved in the settlement. You can save each step (except posting) and call it again.
·        The results of settlement can be posted directly to Financial Accounting.
For more information on performing service charge settlement, refer to Simulating and Executing Service Charge Settlement.
Result
Depending on how you set it up, the service charge settlement performs the following activities:
       1.      Calculation of total costs for the settlement period for each service charge key
       2.      Cost apportionment to the relevant contracts or rental objects
       3.      Posting of cost shares to tenant accounts
       4.      Determination of the advance payments (actual payments) made by the tenant for which credit transfer postings are made

Final settlement in Service Charge settlement

Hi Experts
My client wants their customers to pay their bills when they have recivecd their bills. How should thisa be represented in the SAP system . The flow types available in the system are those for advance payments and flat rates. Which flow type should i adopt for this scenario?

Hi,
You should acticate the service charge settlement functionality.
1. one posts the incoming invoices on settlement units
2. one runs the service charge settlement which distribute the costs to the rental units and invoices the tennat if he participates in the service charge settlement (which generates open items in FI)
3. one runs the invoice processing (which is based on the open items in FI

Service charge settlement to 2 Business Partners assigned to a contract

Please can someone explain how to settle service charge costs to 2Business partners'accounts. For example if we have a rental unit with a tenant and also a landlord of that rental unit and both are picking up costs for different service charge costs or the same service charge costs, how will these be apportioned to both of them.
I have tried assigning 2business partners to one service contract but after running the service charge settlement, the costs were only settled into one business partner's account.

Hi,
please check if the functionality Condition Split, available with Enhancement Package 2 in Business Function RE_GEN_CI_1, might meet your requirement. Further information is available in the release notes of the Business Function.
Hope that helps.

Service charge settlement - cannot settle Settlement Units.

Hello,
I am trying to run RESCSE (service charge settlement) for a BE. After I have run the job, the job finishes very fast (less than a minute) and shows the status as 'finished'. When I am looking at the Settlement Unit under the BE, I find that for that month (for which the settlement was run), the status shows the symbol of a lock. Nothing seems to have been settled.
When I went back to the job log to check the steps, I found that though the job has finished, it has one line which says "batch processing not possible". But when I had run RESCSE, I had run it ONLY for this BE and not as a batch. Also, it has a line that shows that a settlement id has been generated but next to it is written, successful steps: 0; incorrect steps: 1.
Can someone please guide me how to investigate this issue?
Regards,
Suvarghya Dutta

Hi ,
Reg this SCS you can settle it to Contract level only .You can not settle to pertaining to the object .
Check in the contract u have given the participation group as BE or not.

HI
see You have your tax procedure in OBYZ t-code
There you will have subtotal price+excise duty as subtotal in your tax procedure your excise will zero so remain only material price
subtotal 591 =material+service tax -statical
592=service tax 10% on 591
593 =service tax 2 % on 591
594 =service tax 1% on 591
after that subtotal 595 ==from 591 To 594 -stastical
596===vat on 595

If I take my Iphone 5c to the apple store to be fixed with the service charge of $269, if they can't fix it do they replace the phone? Or will I have to pay retail price for a new phone?

I have a water damaged iphone 5c. I was thinking about taking it to the Apple store and paying the 269 dollar service charge for them to attempt to fix it. My question is: If they can't fix it, will they replace my phone for that $269 dollars, or will I have to pay full retail price for a new phone?

They do not repair at all.
The replace.
The $269 is for a replacement.

Assiging wbs element as settlment receiver in service order settlement

Hi PM CS Experts.
We are using scenarios of creation of service order from sales order. So whatever cost we incurred for service order settling to sales order via settlement rule - settlment receiver is Sales order i.e. SDI. We are using settlement profie XX which have default object type for settling SDI. While releasing the service order the settlement rule created with settlement receiver is SDI.
Now for different business scenarios, we are settling service order cost to WBS. Now we want to create a settlemetn rule for WBS, settlement receiver will be WBS element, while saving the service order. What configuration, master data or processes we have to follow for this.
please reply on this.
regards
abhay

Sales Order line item have account assignment WBS element. From this sales order line, a service order will be created. So our idea is whatever cost booked to service order should be settled to wbs element instead of sales order.
also in location tab of service order, the wbs element from sales order is not inherrited in account assignment section. Why this we are not knowing. Have you have any idea for this.

abhay

How can I put Service charge to receive money from customer in Sales Return

My company will receive the Restocking fee from customer when customer want to return the goods.
I create a Sales Return Document for sales return but I can't put the service charge to charge my customer in the sales return document.
If there is any possibile way to create billing document for return and AR in one billing document.

I can't put the service charge to charge my customer in the sales return document.
Why not ?? If you dont want to show the service charge in return sale order but to show only in credit memo, this can be achieved. Assign routine 24 in your pricing procedure against this service charge condition type.

Hi,
1st consult with tax consultant for the above what you written.
Now I believe the amount 250 is just a service charge not service tax. Then keep this service charge as delivery charge(250) in MM pricing schema and take net price (750)which is material price to tax procedure to BASB condition type from which VAT will calculate.
Follow the process:
1. Create a condition type service charge (ZSRC) fixed in nature, keep condition category B (control data -1)and select accrual flag check box(control data -2)
2. Assign an account key & accrual key to condition type of service charge (ZSRC) in MM pricing schema, can have following:
Steps-Couu2014Condition type--Cond Descri--- -
From -
TO
10----0PB00 Gross Price--
20----0 R000Discount % on Gross---10--
30----0Subtotal1020-
40----0---ZSRCService Charge--
Keep Acc & Acl key
50----0TOTAL30---40--
#This is just example, U can place new condition type(ZSRC) properly in your schema.
3. Create a tax code for VAT
4. Create PO with material price 750 in PB00 which is net value of PO and enter service charge in ZSRC as 250, enter VAT tax code, so now VAT will calculate from 750 only.
5. Do GR, you will have inventory A/C, GR/IR Clr- A/C and another entry of service charge clr A/C
6. Do invoice in MIRO

Service Order Settlement - assigned to PSG

Hi,
I need a help regarding Service Order Settlement assigned to Profitability Segment.
Currently, in our system every item of SD Invoice posts revenues and COGS to profitability segment (PSG).
Main characteristic of PSG are: Customer, Product, Division, Profit Center.
We have implemented CS module using in Car maintenance service.
And now in CS module it is not possible to get PA document automatically after an invoice posting so we have to settle Service Order to PSG.
But Settlement rule for Service Order is not on item level (per every material-product separately).
We wants to have the same rules (per Product char.) for Service Order as we had so far in SD.
Is it possible to customize Settlement rule of Service Order on item level?
For instance according to an Invoice items from document flow:
Thanks,
Zoran

Advanced Pricing in Service Charges

Hi,
I'm trying to get the Advanced Pricing engine to work with charging lines in Service. Right no there's no implementation of the pricing engine in Service Charging and Service Contracts on debrief/charges level or on contracts coverage level.
Are there any APIs that can be used to be able to have qualifiers, modifiers and their contexts to calculate prices directly in charging?
TIA.
Regards,
Robert.

Changed bill after I paid it and added in a $70 service charge they had taken off!

I feel like Comcast is a complete ripoff now - and I have been a loyal customer for more than 15 years! I was totally bamboozled by Comcast after I paid my bill and then opened up my "new bill" and saw that my last month's e'bill has been changed after I paid it in full - all my services have been changed and now are being charged more - and a service charge of $70 for a phone problem which was totally their equipment problem and they had previously removed from the bill has now been added back in!! Now the new bill was added in - my "free HBO for 6 months for previous problems" - was removed and I'm now being billed for it - all of my services are being charged more - and my service - which was supposed to be $89. for two years - and I had agreed to - is now $161. - WHAT A RIP-OFF!!! Of course, I can't reach anyone by telephone now as the phone service has changed and I'll have to wait until tomorrow and try some other numbers. I have now switched back to Paper billing and may cut off the phone as this is a total crazy way to operate a business!!! I wish they would just be honest with me after helping me and thanking me for my business and telling me what my bill would be for two years and saying that my bill was paid in FULL!!!

Thanks - I did get a private message that they've taken off the service charge and taken off some of the other charges that had been put on after the fact on the last bill and on this month's bill but then when I log in to look at the bill - it is still more than it is supposed to be as it say it will one to 2 billing cycles for that to take effect.I can't even SEE my own bill ONLINE! I now have to put in a "pin" number to view it and I'm locked out of my own account as there is no place to enter the PIN number and I don't have a record of ever creating a PIN number when I created my account 15 years ago!! - So I wil be emailing that back to the person who emailed me as well as to the ecare@ comcast.com

Service Order settlement

Hi,
I need to set-up settlement of a service order. Can anyone tell how to go about it? To which elements does usually a service order settles? Primary/Secondary, is secondary the how does it get posted to G/L ?
Thanks,
Pankaj.

hi pankaj..
Settlement takes place through settlement rules you have created for the order.The costs are initially collected on the order. They are then transferred to the settlement receiver (Fixed asset ,Cost center ,WBS element,Order ,G/L ccount ,Material ,Asset under construction etc)specified in the settlement rule.
You can settle an order if:
1.It is released
2.It has the status Settlement rule created
3.Costs collected for it have not yet been settled
4.A business completion has not yet been performed for it
Creating a Settlement Rule Manually
Call up the order in change mode.
Choose Settlement rule.
The following cases can occur:
If a settlement rule already exists for the order, you reach the screen Maintain Settlement Rule: Overview directly.
Check the settlement rule.
To change it, go to detail data on the Maintain Settlement Rule: Distribution Rules screen, where you can make additional entries.
If a settlement rule does not yet exist for the order, you must first specify whether you want to maintain the settlement rule with or without the system proposal for the distribution rule. A screen appears where you can maintain the settlement rule.
Make all the necessary entries on this screen.
Return to the order and save it.
I think this will help you

International service charges?

i am in Israel for a few days and want to sure that my razr maxx phone is not running up charges in data or text. All I want is to connect to local wireless. how do i check to be sure?

Ann,
That is what I did initially, but it stopped me from using local wireless services.
I am currently using the resort wireless service, but I am concerned that when I leave the wireless range I might be incurring expensive phone service charges.
Is there a way to do something more that switching to airplane mode?
