How to carry out Time and Material billing for Equipment

[Former Member]

I am not quite sure how to realize this. The client wants to bill customers based on the number of days/hours for which an equipment is used (i.e T&M Billing). For a personnel, to recognize the actual number of hours spent, the personnel time write and this time is then used as a basis for billing in DP90. How will the actual number of days/hours used by the equipment be entered into the system and then billed? Will it be by simply creating a sales order and invoice for the number of days spent for the equipment or is there a similar process like that for personnel?

We confirm on the WBS to record actual time for the equipment.

It is available in ETM, if ETM (DIMP) is not active for you then go for the work around..

create the Equipment as a work center and activity type and use it in a service order then link the service order with sales order and use DIP for billing.

Hi Esi,

You need to run sales scenrio with resource related billing- DIP. Based on number of hours, you will be able to bill the client.

Hi,

Not sure but you can refer the Production Resources & Tools section in SAP Help. I doubt whether you would be able to enter timesheet for the equipment but usage of PRT allows you to calculate the actual cost incurred as a result of utilising a certian equipment. You can then bill with reference to the actual cost incurred. Not sure how the process would be but it's possible i guess.
