Short period billing calculations

Whenever anything changes in the middle of a billing period, BT bills contain refunds and new charges for a period less than a month/quarter (depending on billing frequency). Does anyone know exactly what formulae BT use to work out the fraction of the full charge to use? My most recent bill had 9 such calculations, mostly for good reasons, and I couldn't find a completely consistent way of working out exactly what the charges were. I know the differences are only pence, and its not always in BT's favour, but still .....

Welcome to the forum. They refund payments made from the date of the price increase then apply a fresh charge at the new price for the refunded period. Part-month charges seem to be calculated at 1/30th of the monthly cost per day irrespective of the number of days in the month(s) involved.
It looks cumbersome but I've always found the calculations to be correct when I've felt the need to check.

How Interim Meter Reading before Device Replacement is adjusted in Periodic Billing after Replacement without sending Interim Bill Doc. to Customer

Dear All,
At my Project Consumption is calculated as per Status and Notes Taken,i,e if it is "OK" reading MR is taken Directly for Consumption Periodically and Billed, but according to Logic if Customer MR Status and Notes is DL and AB(Door Lock and Abnormal) we Estimate Consumption according to logic written.
Now i have a problem when ever OK Reading Billing is done before Replacement - consumption of Replacement (Consumption given when Old Device billing related removal) with OK Notes is getting adjusted after replacement, but when estimation billing by DL or AB or Disconnected status Consumption been billed before replacement and after this device is been replaced is not able to adjust Replacement "OK" Reading (Consumption given when Old Device billing related removal) in Next Periodic Billings. So what i found is adjustment is not happening because of Absence of "OK" MR Billing before Replacement and i asked them to make and Interim Billing so that the consumption should be adjusted before replacement and after replacement there should not be any issue. Now my User is ok with the above idea, but he want Interim Bill Consumption should not be sent to Customer and Interim Bill Consumption should be included in Periodic Billing and Invoice after Replacement is sent to Customer.
Please can any one give me some idea on above scenario.
Thanks & Regards,

Budget billing & periodic billing

Hello Experts ,
If a Budget billing plan of a customer is active , which is created during move-in and if it is for 3 months period ,
Should the periodic billing be done for the customer in the next month after move-in ?
If yes/No then why ?
Which criterias decide this ?
Thanks ,
Nachiket.

Hi,
As per SAP std documentation
(source----http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp60/helpdata/en/c6/4dc844eafc11d18a030000e829fbbd/content.htm)
Budget Billing:
An average amount is determined manually or via simulation that the customer pays for a period of 12 months. Actual billing is performed monthly and the results are printed on the bill. In addition, the difference between the amount of the actual consumption and the fixed average amount is calculated, updated monthly, and also printed on the bill. In the last month of the meter reading period, the actual amount and the accumulated difference are billed.
This will help you to clarify the doubts. On top this it is always important to send the monthly bill to the customer so that the customer can also keep track of the differences of the consumed/actual amount and contracted amount, also the updates on the BBP. Although the actual bill amount is not payable. The agreed amount will be paid by the customer and the residue amount will be adjusted afterwards. Payment Scheme also has concept of periodical review. So it depends.
For further documentation is on BBP please follow the below link:

Periodic billing or contract

Hi Friends,
we have contract where we give some equipment on lease to the customer and customer is using that for 28 days
Billing plan is PERIODIC BILLING
Now when we see billing plan for contract it shows settelment (01/01/2010) to (01/30/2010) now as customer is using that for say only for 28 days so we want (01/01/2010) to (01/28/2010).
How to make billing periods to 28 days, the system automatically adjusts the monthly rate by prorating the 28 days. We need a billing plan template that a) sets up a billing periods on a 28 day cycle and b) should prorate the monthly fixed rate
if we give condition value as 900 for month then it is calculating 900/30 = 30/ day
but now client wants it should calculate as 900/28 = 32.14
thanks
Vishal

Dear Vishal,
You can use Periodic Billing in this case.
In your Contract Definition (VOV8) there is a field for BIlling Plan. Enter a Billing Plan here.
To define the Billing Plan there go to IMG - SD - Billing - Billing Plan - Define Billing Plan Types - Maintain billing plan types for periodic billing.
Here there are fields for Horizon & Dates.
Difine Rules for Determining Dates (IMG - SD - Billing - Billing Plan - Define Rules For Determining Dates. Here there are fields for TIme Period & Time Unit, which is what you can set for BIlling 28 days in a month.
Hope this helps.. .
THanks,

Periodic Billing within SD using recurring charges

HI,
I work for a local authority that has lease agreements and service charges for properties in the area. At the moment these charges are not on SAP.
Is there any way that you can use recurring charges in the SD module to create these accounts? I think the issue would be the calculation of any adjustments should the lease cease or amended.
Can you calculate the adjutments manually and still use recurring charges or is the Real estate module a better fit for this?
Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks,
Elaine Gray

Hello Elaine
SAP- Real Estate would definitely be a better bet because it is a specialist module. But I have no idea of its functionality benefits vis a vis standard solution.
That said, you can meet the requirement with rental (MV) or service contract (WV) with Periodic billing plan. You can charge the monthly rental in advance or after the month is over using date rules and other billing plan features, Since a lease is essentially a contract with start date- End date, these contracts work well, you can also bill for partial months at the beginning or end and incorporate penalties for lease break etc with a Contract cancellation procedures or manually with Debit notes. Build a prototype keeping in mind Billing plans take some trial and error to arrive at the final solution.

I have numerous different apple products with the new lightening connector, all of which have broken or stopped working after just short periods of time, I have an iPhone 5C, and iPad mini and and iPod Touch 5th gen?

Hi, I have numerous different Apple products, an iphone 5c, iPad mini and iPod touch 5th gen.
I have had them all for only relatively short periods of time yet the lightning cable has stopped working on all of them?
On the touch, charging has stopped completely?
Is this a manufacturing issue with the new charging system?

Hi, yes I'm using the original apple cables.
This definitely isn't user error nor confined just to me, the devices are used by different people in the home.
On a quick sample around the office (survey of 7 people let me add) 4 of them said the cables had broken on them and had to be replaced.
Having also searched through the forums it appears this is a fairly widespread issue.
It's defo not user error!

How to club the downpayment and periodic billing scenario in Sales Order

Hi experts,
Could you please let me know how to club the downpayment and periodic billing scenario in Sales Order.
Requirement is : If you have 10 lacs total amount and out of that 50% should be the downpayment and rest of the amount should be distributed among three equated instalments for 2 months each (periodic billing). This should work with one line item in sales order. Pls provide relevant inputs how to work out this scenario.
Your help would be appreciable.
regards....Diwakaran

Hi Yang,
Workflow is the best approach for any issue related to business objects.
Since you want call FM BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE, it will change SO. It means everytime any SO is changed there will an event being triggered.
object type: BUS2032
event: Changed
simple solution:
1. Please create object type (SWO1) and its super type should be BUS2032.
2. Add your own method and attach your custom FM which actually updates the qty & PR)
3. Create Task (PFTC_INS)
in basic data:
- provide object type which you have created
- provide method which you have added
goto triggering events tab
- Choose Object Category as BOR object type
- provide object type (better give BUS2032)
- provide event as CHANGED
Please have look into very nice video blog which helps you to create your workflow.

Down payment request for contract with periodic billing

Hi Friends,
Could anyone help me in understanding the configuration settings for down payment / advance payment senario for a CONTRACT which has Order related billing (I have done for Order with milestone billing plan).
The contract has order related *periodic billing plan* where settlement period is suppose quaterly billing and actual invoice is happening on 1st date of the quarter. But i want to create a down payment request say 10 days before the billing date[(actual invoice(F2) date] of every quater as an advance payment/ down payment.
FYI...
For order i am using standard billing rule 1 in milestone billing plan for final invoice but for downpaymnet billing dates (added additional settlement periods then actual invoice settlement period like 3 adv pay ment og 20%, 30% 50% & one actual invoice period for whole amount 100% as D4 doc only) i am manually changing the billing rule as 4 to create a down payment req.
But in contract as its has periodic billing plan no billing rule changing option (no additional settlement period can be added, only settlement period for actual invoice is getting proposed) so i can't have two different rule for a settlement period. no settlement period can be added separately for adv paymnet/down payment.
Kindly respond ASAP.

Manish

Hi, Many thanks for your response.
But the down payment functionality for a SO with milestone billing i have already implemented.
The question was for CONTRACT Side (say rental / service contract). The contract has periodic billing (monthly / Q'ly).
Kindly let me know if you/anyone has any idea for config settings for a contract with the senario mentioned in previous thread post.
Thnx & Rgds

Multiple invoices created in periodic billing

Hii All,
We are facing a problem in periodic billing. When i remove the billing block for 1 period in a sales order and try to raise the biling for the same, the system raises the billing doc for all the periods.
e.g. I have 4 billing blocks in a year. I remove the billing block for the first period and go to VF01 to raise the bill. The system shows 4 lines corresponding to 4 periods. I select only first line & save it. But the system raises the billing document for all the 4 periods.
Actually the system should show the line item (in VF01) for the period for which the billing block is removed and the document should be raised for that line item only.
Regards,
Vijay

Try thru VF04.

Periodic billing value is not dividing as per the months.

Hi,
While mapping periodic billing plan-my requirement is net value 10,000 should split into as per the end date months. But if we see the net value in billing plan is multiplying with the months as per the year i.e.130,000/- is coming which is wrong.
But it should come as 10,000/12= PER MONTH VALUE .(NET VALUE IN CONDITIONS/MONTHS).
Can you guide me to meet the requirement.

Hi Suman,
My sales order value is 10,000/- which I would like to charge my customer for the coming 13 months service.
I have maintained the same in my condition tab (Second screen shot).
But if I see my billing plan the net value is coming as 1,30,000/-. Means it is multiplying instead of dividing.
My requirement is 10,000/13 =
But currently coming as 10,000*13=.
Hope you got my problem.

Billing Plan - GL Account Problem. (Periodic Billing Plan)

Hi Every body,
I created rental agreement throguh contact and aslo I have configured the periodic billing plan. when i am saving the document,system through an error i.e., GL account not maintained.
can you please tell me, how to maintain this GL account and where i need to maintain.
thanks in advance .
Regards,
Srinivas.

Is this the incomplete log you are getting?
Normaly system should never ask for the GL account while creating a contract......
Anyways system is trying to create a billing doc in the background, try to create block the billing (you have the option available in billing plan) and save the transaction.
I think in the configuration you have the option where, when ever you create a billing plan the system should block the plan untill release it manualy or by milestone........

Downpayment in Periodic billing.

Are downpayments possible in periodic billing as well ? When I try to bill periodic billing with down payments, system says, SC (service contracts) WVN can not be billied with FAZ?

Hi,
Are you asking about whole process of periodic billing or you just want to know where we put billing block and where we remove it.
I am considering you know how to set up periodic billing.
Now go to OVBJ and select your date category which is used for period billing
Over here you can set billing block for the periodic billing.
In OVBI you can find out your periodic billing plan and date category assigned to it.
For removing the billing block you have to go to VA02 and enter your document number.
Now go to Goto u2013 Header Data u2013 Billing plan.
Over here you have to remove your billing block one by one when your task is completed.
Then try to carry out billing document for that.
Hope so this will solve your query
Regards
Raj.
