Hi friends,

Can we do RRB for External Activities like rented resources, Equipment. I checked the same for internal activities and it is working fine.

Yes you can. You DIP profile allows you to configure the source for your recharged costs. Using this you can collect all costs allocated to your WBS Element.

Yes u can do it, just go through this .....

The DIP profile defines and controls resource-related quotation and billing for Sales Order and Sales documents. It may be maintained in either the CS or SD.

The DIP profile allows flexible determination and translation of actual labor, material, and other costs into sales materials for appropriate pricing and billing, where as Milestones are used in a project to designate significant events or start/completion of a project phase. Milestone usage is defined to trigger billing on the attached sales documents.

DIPu2019S have a dual purpose.

u2022 For Cost Planning in Easy Cost Planning.

u2022 For Billing in Revenues & Earning.

DIP profile is used for resource related billing; this is configured from transaction ODP1 and ODP2. Once this is configured you need to add the DIP profile in the project profile.

The concept is really resource related billing.

i.e. you bill based on the usage of time and materials and provide necessary mark ups

To do this you need to configure what is known as DIP (Dynamics Items Processor) profile

DIP profile collects cost and converts them to the relevant service material in sales order for billing.

E.g. you use activity type 5 hrs and you want to invoice for 5 hrs

u2022 cost is based on activity type rate set in KP26 say 70 per hour

u2022 Create service material Labour

u2022 Set pricing condition for Labour as 100 per hour (or you can add condition in sales order to get markup

u2022 Once you confirm 5 hrs on your project this can be captured via DIP profile settings to create a billing document of 5 hrs based on 100 per hour

cost = 5 x 70

Rev = 5 x 100

also you need to set up partner function for project definition

Customer Project with Direct Sales.

You can create a Project, perform Easy Cost Planning against WBS & make PS automatically execute the procurement/reservation of various items that make up the sales, then create sales document (quote/sales order). This is achieved using DIP Profile.

Service Materials on the Sales Order.

Material that are not physical, just a description of what you are selling).

You might then simply bill the customer based on a marked-up value of your Planned Costs

(O-R-B) order related billing.

Alternatively you can be bill the customer based on the resources you have used (R-R-B) resource related billing. Again DIP profile is used here to achieve this via t-code DP91.

DIP Profiles are used to gather the relevant actual costs from WBS element & Network Activities.

Pricing of project through DIP

In t.code ODP1 did you:

1. set the usage type of your DIP profile to "1 Billing and results analysis"

2. Specify the proper source "0001 Actual costs - Line items"

3. Make sure that you have posted a transaction against the WBS Element in you sales document that conforms to all the characteristics that you selected in the DIP profile. For example if you chose one characteristic "Cost Element", you need to have a posting against the WBS element that contains the specifications you included for "Cost Element" in the "Selection Criteria" part of the DIP.

I think step 3 may be the problem. You have to have a posting that conforms to the selection criteria in the DIP or else no expense items will be picked up.
