T & M_Resource Billing

[Former Member]

Dear All,

I came up with the requirement to have PS to track the profitability of employees. We are into consultancy and we provide resources to the clients and charge them on monthly basis. Now we are planning to implement SAP PS to track the profitability of individual consultant.

I was thinking to have individual WBS to represent individual employee, then post all the expenses and Salary on this WBS and similarly all the revenue on this WBS, so that we can get the report of all the expenses and revenue of individual consultant.

Mean while i saw few threads about Resource Related Billing(RRB). Can anybody suggest how to proceed and which is the right way.

Regds,

Channa

Hi Chanabasappa,

You can achieve it using either of the ways.If SD is implemented then RRB will give your more flexibility in this scenario,you can simply bill your customer on resource consumption (you can have predefined pricing procedure and condition types etc. with it) .

If SD is not there,then you can simply create one WBS ,create activity/activities as you want and allocate persons/consultants using 'Person assignment' in NWA. You simply post actual consumption of man hours either by manually confirming activities or using CATS. Once you start receiving actual cost ,you start settling it to WIP G/L (then from here to Accrual G/L,it depends on FI reconciliation).

(You observe these labor charges using G/L (Dir Lab - Projects). Now, monthly based on actual labor consumption of labor cost, you can raise customer invoice from FI side and later you can evaluate your project revenues.

Hope it helps.

Thanks.

Hi Chana,

That you can get in PLM230 (between page 120-175) . Check if it gives you good information in RRB.

In addition to above, the same scenario can be achieved using 'Customer Service' module (if implemented,sub module in PM ). You can simply create a tender -> Project->Man Hours allocation on jobs ->you define the rates of consumption->then you bill the customer as per the services performed.

Thanks
