Theorotical help on Resource related billing..!!

hello gurus,
I had an interview last week and one of the major questions was about resource related billing..
can someone please explain theorotically of wat exactly is this resource related billing and how is it actually used in the business process and how the pricing is done in a sales order.. i did tried checking out some material, but couldnt satisfy myself with the meager and under-rated information..
thanks in advance..

Hi
The price for customer-specific services are not always defined in a contract as fixed prices, nor can they always be determined using standard pricing. This is the case if, for example, no empirical values exist for specific services, and therefore the services cannot be calculated adequately before conclusion of a contract. Typical examples of this are:
Make-to-order production
External plant maintenance in the service company
Specific services such as consulting
You carry out resource-related billing for these orders. In the billing document, single material, internal activities, and costs are assigned to the customer afterwards. The basis for creating a billing document is the billing request.

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 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.

Intercompany Resource Related Billing RRICB

Hi Gurus,
i have a question regarding Intercompany Resource Related Billing (RRICB)
Following scenario:
Customer orders a service (e.g. programming) - Company A creates a sales order - part of the programming should be done by Company B in another country (with a different company code). So Company A creates an order for Company B - Company B creates a sales order (customer is Company A).
All efforts should be caputred by CATS - e.g. Company A captures 15 H of programming via CATS to the sales order (real Customer) and Company B captures 5 H of programming via CATS for their sales order (customer Compnay A).
Sales order from Company B is linked with Sales order from Company A. And when charging the customer effort of Company A and Company B are summed up.
Hope this is not tooo confusing.
Can this scenario be done within the RRICB??
When reading through the SAP Help Pages they always describe the scenario with WBS-Element. Is this WBS-Element mandatory or is my prefered scemario also possible.
Many thanks in advance for your replies.

Hi santosh,
many thanks for your reply.
Unfortunatelly I can not test it right away on a system. I am working on possible process for a university project.
If our process is accepted we can begin to realize it in SAP.
So I have to trust in your answer

Resource related billing -reg

hi
My bunsiness process is like
1.Quotation Creation,
2.Sales Order creation with ref to Quotation,
3. Resource related billing( A Debit memo request is creating with ref to Sales Order)
4.Debit Memo creation with ref to debit memeo request.
In above process customer's final billing happening from Debit memo request, From Sales ORder billing is not generating, So always that slaes order will be in open status na?
In Resorse related billling is Sales Order is mandotory?
Can you plz guide me
regards
Rajendra

Hi Rajendra,
I am not able to understand why you want to create debit memo request first then debit memo.
Why are you not creating billing document with reference to sales order only??????
As per your scenario solution is as follows
Your first query is regarding status of sales order.
Go to VTAA and select your combination of debit memo request and sales order.
Go to the item level and select your item category and click on detail.
Now in that put Pos/neg. quantity as + and save it.
Now it will show complete status after you make debit memo request with respect to order.
Second query is about mandatory reference.
Go to VOV8 and select your resource related billing document or debit memo request.
In that you will find reference mandatory which you can maintain or can remove it.
Hope so this will help you to solve your query.
Regards
Raj.

Sales Order Status for 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

Hi Aribis
IN IMG, in Sales and Distribution->Sales->Sales Document->Sales Document Item-> Item category, check the item configuration - one of the first fields should be completion rule, check tht it has the right completion rule, e.g. completed after full quantity has been referenced.
hope this helps

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
