VBOX and VBOF

[Former Member]

Hello,

I need below clarifications. Pls correct If Iam wrong.

1) When Billing documents are created and if  they have rebate condition types or not, do  all such  billing documents gets updated to VBOX table ?  If yes, I also need to know if billing documents without rebate condition types are also updated to S060 structure  for the billing amount !

2) Does VBOF T code takes list of  billing documents from VBOX table to update them with rebate condition types (in case of retroactive rebates ) ? If yes, how does the VBOF T code recognises which billing documents to take from VBOX table to update them with rebate conditions ?

regards

Hi Pamela

The VBOX table is always built when these criteria below are met. This is regardless if a rebate agreement or rebate condition exists at all.

Sales Organization (OVB1) Billing type (VOFA) Payer (VD02)

If all 3 of these settings are flagged as rebate relevant a VBOX entry is written when an invoice of this type is posted to accounting.

If you have activated the new rebate procedure in omo1, then SDBONT06 is relevant if you have

activate the new rebate procedure at the same time the invoice is posted to accounting the

stucture S136 is also updated with the billing document number and condition record number of the agreement "if one exists". So SDBONT06 uses VBOX and/or S136 to make sure all invoices within an agreement validity period are correctly updated in retrospect. Only after this is done could the agreement be settled, when the retroactive flag is removed form the agreemtn (KONP-KSPAE)

Hope this helps you further

Hello Brian,

thanks for the anwswer. One more issue.

1) When we run VBOF to account for billing documents created in past(re troactive rabtes ), then such invoices are updated in rebate agreement. My question is whether the acrruals for such past invoices also gets updated in rebate agreement. iam unable to create a test case right now.

2) There is a program RV15B002 & . what is to be used for ? i cannot udnerstand from help ?

3) Also  program RV15B003 is confusing  to uderstand. what is meant by change in sub totals in pricing procedures ?

Hi Pamela

1) Yes all invoices within the validity period of the agreement will be updated, if required. So if it is a document that was created before the agreement but is in the validity period it will be updated and you will see a second FI document for it in VF03 posted by SDBONT06.

2)  RV15B002 or transaction VOB3 - Comparison: Bill. Docs and Stats

This is the official documentation:

The report RV15B002 gives you the option of comparing statistics from the rebate

settlements with the values from the billing documents. These values can differ

if you start rebate processing later and want to take into account old billing

documents. The report also allows you to post a rebate correction agreement,

which corrects accruals.

This report is relevant for the old rebate procedure where S136 is NOT activated, it gave you the option to post accruals for invoices that were created before the agreement which in the old procedure could not be updated.

Using the new rebate procedure you do not need this report SDBONT06 does this for you.

3)  RV15B003 or transaction OVG1 - Redetermine subtotal
Sub totals are not held in any table but calculated dynamically according to the customsing of the pricing procedure steps etc. Whaen a billing document is saved the sub totals are saved into VBRP fields dynamically. In rebate processing the important sub total value is taken form the step with sub total '7' this value is passed into the VBRP-BONBA field. So if you had made changes to a productive pricing procedure (which you should never do, always make a copy and re-assign the new copy) if you run OVG1 it simulates a new pricing and the sub totals ' VBRP-BONBA ' will be recalculated according to the new configuration in the pricing proccedure.

I hope this helps you further

Kind regards
