planned revenue in project

[Former Member]

hi gurus

Revenues can be planned in projects using the following methods:

1 Manual planning in billing elements in the project structure: Can follow

the same procedure as in hierarchical cost planning or can be entered by

revenue element.

2 Sales orders (all SD documents assigned): Sales order items are assigned

to WBS elements. You can specify in Customizing a combination of sales

document category (quotation, order, and so on), sales document type,

controlling area, system status, and if the billing data (for example, in a

billing plan) from a sales order should update the revenue plan for an

assigned WBS element. The dates and planned revenues originate either

from the billing plan for sales order items or, if there is no billing plan, from

the net value and apportionment data for the item. The revenue element

originates from G/L account determination in SD.

3. Billing plan in project billing elements: The revenue element is defined

in Customizing.

question 1-

If i am not wrong, 1st one would be through cj42, (planning profile)

in second case account assignment of wbs in Sale order, and through SD billing plan/ net value and apportionment data for the item, planned revenue will originate.(sd billing plan)

third case-in cj20n, manually through billing plan we do revenue planning.(billing plan)

let me know whether my understanding is correct or not

question 2-let me know/give some inputs regarding DIP profile in respect to revenue planning.  how it is used, the senarios, relavants other settings in sap ps and sd.

thanking you

Hi,

First Question: Yes

Second question: DIP profile is being used for RRB (Resource related billing). Search the forum you will find plenty of threads which will answer your queries.

In CJ20N we define the billing milestone which were assigned to billing WBS element. these billing milestones are copied to Sales Order line item to create billing plan. some time you may set up billing palnt at header level also. mostly prefer to have at line item level in sales order.

So we are not doing any billing plan CJ20N rather either user CJ42 for revenue plan.

Hope above explanation make sense and let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
