Integration between PS and SD - Construction Cost Going Up

[Former Member]

Dear Gurus,

Im in a project in the construction industry. They want to use milestone billing which is triggered by PS

Here are my issues:

1. How do we maintain the Estimated construction cost at the PS side and not at SD side (I see that we can only maintain the milestone percentages at CJ01) ?

2. How do we integrate the estimated construction cost which is maintained at the PS side so that this cost will always flow down to the SD Sales Order, eg: if construction cost goes up, the new amount will be automatically reflected at the SD Sales Order.

3. If a few milestones have already been billed, at the SD Sales Order the line items at the billing plan tab corresponding to the billed milestones will be greyed out. If the construction cost goes up, How can the subsequent milestones which will be billed in the future be able to cater for the undercharge amounts for the previous milestones ?

Thank you

Hi,

It can be achieved by Resource related billing. Instead of milestones, you can do the following steps:

1. Create an activity for estimation cost - T-code KL01

2. Assign a cost centre to the activity - KP26

3. Create a SD material in the same name - MM01 (Service type). Extend it to relevant sales org and plants.

4. Map the material to the activity - OKI1

5. Define a DIP profile

6. Create a work centre for the plant - CNR1 (If not done before)

7. Include the activity in the network - CN22

8. Confirm the amount - CN25

9. Raise sales document and invoice - DP90
