Item category fields: Pricing & billing relevancy..

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

In item category have fields called pricing & billing. why?

If item relevant for billing means system relevant for pricing as well.

If the item is relevant for pricing means we do billing for that item, then why fields are required,

Please light on this.

Thx

Hi there,

Relevant for billing is to decide if the item has a delivery related / order related billing. For eg services dobnot have a delivery. So you will define order related billing for TAD items.

Similarly for REN, CRN, billing quantity is not the order quantity but the quantity returned. So you will choose B order related billing status according to order quantity (quantity in RE order not OR order). Similarly G2N will have option C in billing.

Pricing is required if pricing is to be carried for the item or not. For eg TANN items are not relevant for pricing but billing relevance is A.

When a material is entered, system will call pricing & will check for the pricing relevance. Accordingly it will call the pricing procedure. For TANN items, sytem will not call pricing.

Hi Gantag,

Pricing field is there to carry out the pricing at the time of creation of sales order.

If you donu2019t check this field then there will be no pricing for that particular pricing category.

Billing relevance means that particular item category should shown up in billing document or not.

If also provides you information that item category should bill with reference to delivery or order document.

If you donu2019t provide this information then this item category wont be visible in billing document.

Now why we require both the things write.

In many manufacturing company the main product is made from different small products.

So at the time of creating order you want that price should carry for all the product so we give pricing relevance.

But when we are billing to customer we want only main product to be billed then we give billing relevance.

Hope so you will be able to understand and able to clear your doubt.

Hi

Billing Relevence means order related billing or delivery related billing and so on

Means whether the sales order is taken as a source doc for billing or delivery doc is taken as a source doc for billing and so on and accordingly copy controls are set

Billing relevence means pricing also is there

why separate fields

Both of them have different controls

Pricing means whether it is standard pricing(normal pricing),No pricing,or 100% discount like these entries are defined

Say TANN it is not relevent for billing but pricing is B that is 100% discount

It means when the sales order is created when an item is created free of charge the system determines the pricing for that item and makes it a 100% discount thro condition type R100

It means when these values are posted in FI you will know how much values you have given as discount

For free item also involves manufacturing cost or procurement cost which the client parts as a sales promotion so he need to know the values

When this item cat TANN comes for billing it is not billed because billing relevence is kept blank

Pricing here controls what is going to be the pricing in sales order not in billing doc
