Volume of Invoices in CRM Billing
Hi Guys
Do you have any idea about the volume of invoices which CRM can handle if we use CRM as billing?
In our current scenario we will be generating 1000Invoices per hour.So do you think ECC can handle this amount or CRM billing has the capability to handle or CRM billing should not choke with this amount of volume.
We are not using tax calculation in our system.
Regards
Manjinder
Hi Manjinder,
both CRM Billing and ECC Billing are definitely able to manage this volume.
For ECC Billing there are benchmarks available based on following transactions:
- Create an order with five line items. (VA01)
- Create a delivery for this order. (VL01N)
- Display the customer order. (VA03)
- Change the delivery (VL02N) and post goods issue.
- List 40 orders for one sold-to party. (VA05)
- Create an invoice. (VF01)
For details, see [http://www.sap.com/solutions/benchmark/sd.epx]

Creation of Proforma Invoices in CRM
Hi,
We are using billing plans whereby the billing requests are generated and hit the billing due list in CRM.
However the billing date may be 3 months from now and we need to create and give proforma invoices to receive certain payments in advance. Later on the actual invoice is created and handed to the customer.
Kindly advice as to how can I:
1. Create a proforma invoice for a billing due list item
2. And then create an actual invoice (that hits the ledgers) against the same billing due list item.
KINDLY NOTE THAT THE SCENARIO IS A SERVICE SCENARIO AND NOT A SALES A SCENARIO.
Thanks and Regards,
Dhaval Pandya
Edited by: mySAP core team mySAP core team on Aug 12, 2008 11:05 AMHello Dhaval,
maybe a proforma invoice is not the best approach to solve this business requirement.
How would the prepayments be booked?
How would you balance the prepayments against the "real" invoice?
CRM Billing provides the capability to split an invoice based on conditions (See IMG -> CRM -> Condition based Invoice Split). So you might have a specific condition representing the prepayment. The condition split would lead to two billing due list entries for one billing plan item. Each Billing Due List can be processed independently having fully Accounting integration.

ERP Delivery/Transfer Order u2013 CRM Billing
Hi everybody,
Iu2019m new to this forum and I hope that this is the right place to post my request.
Iu2019m currently developing a course in CRM and face a problem. We use an IDES client of the UCC and I try to accomplish a sales order in the CRM System, process the delivery/transportation in the ERP backend and after the delivery is completed, there should be a billing due list item created in the CRM System. The problem is, that there is no Billing Due Item created/transferred to the CRM System. Here is how the process works:
Transaction Code: CRMD_BUS2000115 bzw. CRMD_ORDER
1. Transaction Type is Sales --> Sales Process (Item Category ZSAL)
2. Type in the following data
a. Sold-to Party 300025 (01Megastore)
b. Product HT-1000
c. Quantity 1
3. Save the document.
4. Go to the ERP System and check whether the sales order was transferred (Transaction Code: VA02)
5. Create a Delivery Document (Transaction Code: VL01N). Shipping Point is 3800 (Denver) and date is
todayu2019s date + 1 week. Save the document.
6. Create the Transfer Order use the following settings:
a. Warehouse number 038
b. Plant 3800
c. Delivery the number of the delivery
d. Foreground/Backgrnd. System Guided
e. Adopt Pick Quantity 2 (Include pick, quantities in delivery and post Gl)
f. Press Enter and save.
After I create the Transfer Order the delivery should be completed and since the Item Category of the Sales Transaction Type is ZSAL and ZSAL is set to be Delivery-Related, there should be a Billing Due Item created in the CRM System. So far the theory!
Now thatu2019s where the problems begin:
1. There is no Billing Due Item created in the CRM System
2. I try to create a billing due in the ERP System here I get the Error message, that the u201Cgoods issue has
not been posted for deliveryu201D
3. I take a look at the delivery (vl02n). Here the deliveryu2019s status is still at u201Cbeing processedu201D
4. I try to u201Cpost good issueu201D manually.
5. I get the error message u201CSyntax Error in substitution u2018Reg_SUBu2019, step u2018001u2019u201D
The error message long text is:
Syntax error in substitution "REG_SUB", step "001"
Message no. GB032
Diagnosis
A syntax error was found in substitution REG_SUB during the ABAP code generation.
System Response
An ABAP code is not generated for this Boolean statement and the statement is evaluated as FALSE (in ABAP include GBTWMFIC).
Procedure
Correct substitution REG_SUB using substitution maintenance.
Hopefully anybody here can help me with this problem. Thanks in advance
TaymazHi Stephanie,
I just wanted to point out two things:
1. As Dinesh explained already, the first scenario is mostly used if the Logistics Execution (delivery, transportation) happens in ERP, and billing was already set up and used in ERP. But in principle you can also use CRM Billing in connection with Logisitics Execution in ERP. This means you create your sales order in CRM, your delivery and so on in ERP, and then you can bill the order or the delivery in CRM. The advantage of this is that you are able to bill e.g. sales order and service order items in one invoice.
2. In the second scenario you can upload orders to ERP (if you want to do Logistics Execution), but is is not necessary (if you don't do LE). And it is not necessary and not possible to upload billing documents to ERP. CRM transfers automatically or manually the billing document to ERP FI and creates and Accounting document. So it is fully integrated without replication and without using ERP Billing.
I hope this answers your questions.
If you are interested in an integration scenarion with CRM Order - ERP Logistics Execution and CRM Billing, please watch the following short video:

Proforma invoice in CRM.
Require the complete details on how to set up the pro-forma invoice functionality in CRM where CRM is integrated with R/3 and currently billing is happening from R/3.
Hello NAGARAJU VELLANKI,
I am trying to set up within CRM customizing 5.0 the proforma invoicing proces.
Therefore I have created a separate invoice type for the proforma invoice with entry "C proforma".
However it seems that this is not working even not when creating a separate item category for the pro forma invoice.
Do you have any idea how to set up pro forma invoicing within CRM and Billing in CRM.

Can CRM billing post amounts on FI "K" accounts?
Hi gurus,
i'd like to integrate CRM billing with R3 FI to manage promotional invoices related to Trade Promotion.
My concern is about the possibility from a CRM billing point of view to post amounts in the FI accounts of type "K".
Is it possible?
Regards
CHello C,
yes, it is possible (as of CRM2007) to post in FI AP.
Once role 'vendor' is maintained for payee/payer (see note 883162) posting is done in FI AP.

Config document on CRM Billing
Hello Experts,
I have to work on Service Module.
If anybody has config document on Billing,please provide
ThanksHi,
I can suggest u the customizing steps for CRM billing.
If u want to do customizing for CRM billing follow the following steps:-
u2022First of all make the item category for sales and services tht u r using as relevant for CRM billing.
u2022Goto Customer Relationship Management>Billing>Define Billing Types and define the billing type. In this step, you define billing types to specify the characteristics and properties of a billing document (an invoice, credit memo or debit memo, for example). The billing type attributes determine how the system behaves during the billing process
u2022Goto Customer Relationship Management>Billing>Define Billing Types --> Define Item Categories .In this step, you define the item categories for CRM Billing. The item category determines the properties and characteristics of billing due list items and billing items (normal service items, and credit/debit memo items, for example).The item category attributes determine how the system behaves during the Input Processing and Billing processes.
u2022Goto Customer Relationship Management>Billing>Define Billing Types > Define Item Categories> Item Category Determination--> Assign Item Categories. In this step, you assign a combination of the business transaction type (that is, process type of the source application) and the item category of the relevant CRM business transaction to an item category in CRM Billing.
u2022Also for integration with R3 goto Billing> Integration> Transfer of Billing Documents to Accounting> Transfer to Accounts Receivable Accounting (FI-AR)> Assign Document Types. In this activity you determine which accounting document types will be used to post billing documents in SAP ECC Accounts Receivable (FI-AR).
u2022Also u need to do the following settings--> Assign Billing Units to Service/Sales Organizations. In this activity you define which billing unit should be determined from the characteristics sales organization and service organization. This applies for service processes in CRM Online that are billed in CRM Billing, and posted as billing documents in SAP R/3 Financial Accounting (FI).
Also refer the help docs in SPRO.
I hope this will help u.

Mapping of CRM Billing Document to GTS within Service Parts Management
Hello,
We are currently implementing Service Parts Management with GTS.
We would like to map certain fields coming from CRM Billing to the GTS Customs Document.
Does anyone know which BADI/user exit can be used to complete this mapping.
We have seen that to be able to transfer billing documents to GTS we need to activate Service Parts Management.
Further, how can we get the values for these fields into the customs documents , once these are mapped.
Which BADI, structures, tables are used for this?
Does anyone have a sort of data structuring model for the different fields in the customs document , on header and item level.
How fields are triggered. This could be very useful to have this kind of documentation for doing enhancements etc...
Now we are struggling with structures.
Thanks in advance
Regrds
FrankFrank,
The key tables for the customs document are:
/SAPSLL/CUHD (header)
/SAPSLL/CUIT (item)
/SAPSLL/CORPAR (partners)
You can find additional tables in SE16 by search for table names that start with /SAPSLL/CU* or /SAPSLL/COR*
Unfortunately, I am not sure about the BAdi for document transfer from CRM but the available BAdi's should be listed in the IMG in CRM similar to ECC.

How to extract values from pricing procedure for conditions in CRM Billing?
I have a number of conditions in the pricing procedure in CRM Billing that I would like to extract to SAP BW. How can this be done?
Is there a standard extractor for CRM Billing similar to the SD Billing extractor "Extraction of SD Billing Conditions" (2LIS_13_VDKON)?
If there is no standard extractor, is there another way to extract the conditions and the related values?
I am using the standard CRM Billing Extractor 0BEA_CRMB already, so maybe an append could solve my problem. How can this be done? In what CRM-tables can I find the values from pricing procedure for conditions in CRM Billing?you may want to post that last question in a CRM forum... in ECC it would be table KONV

View CRM billing document from FB03 - Accounting document
I am working with a client who creates some orders in R3 and now some in CRM.
The orders are billed in their respective system.
The CRM billing is then transfered via BDOC's into R3 which create an accounting document.
However, in the environment tab, there is no original document.
Does anyone know if you can access via some form of document flow or function module call from R3 to go direct to the CRM billing document?Hi Mark
I noticed that your Forum has now been answered. Could you please share how you resolved the issue of displaying a CRM billing document from FB03 as an "original document".
Many thanks,
Verity

Limitation for volume of invoices to be paid via ACH
Hi All, Users wants to know if the payment program will error out if the volume of invoices to be paid to one vendor via ACH increases to 300 or more invoices. The user suspects that the ACH file may limit the # of invoices payable on one file. any inputs on what is the limitation of volume for the ACH file and any work around if there is any limitation.
Thanks in Advance
JayHi,
I think you can use the variant of the tab printout/data medium to restrict the number of the line in payment advice note.
Check in 'output control' the 'no.of items in payments summary' eq 10.
I don´t know if it´s require to config the FBZP -> Pmnt.methods in company code ->Pyt adv.ctrl -> restrited to XXX and Pymt adv. after... lines.

Tax invoice and sundary billing
Hi experts,
what is Tax invoice and sundry billing ,and how they are related???
thanks.Vijay,
The Contract Pricing Procedure should be maintained seperately.
The General Sales order or Factory sales Pricing Procedure will be maintained seperately
Order for services will have seperate Pricing procedure.
The service tax condition type will be the same and the pecentage a will be the same. If you are maintaining the same condition type then the change in % will remain constant for all procedures. But for your customer if you want to maintain seperately then it can differ.

Posting date from CRM Billing doc cancellation
hello,
I have an issue in the CRM billing documents transferred from CRM to ECC. When do a biling doc, the document and posting are taken from the document date in CRM billing document.
But when I do a cancellation of the billing document, the document date is taken from the document date in CRM, however the posting date is taken from the Value date in CRM. We have made some exits in CRM billing where the value date is determined as document date + 5 days.
I am not sure why the cancellation takes place on the value date. Can anyone here please explain and also tell how this can be made as billing document.
thanks in advance,
