RRB (Resource Related Billing) Documentation

[Former Member]

Hi guys,

I have a new project coming up and it requires a detailed level of Resource Related Billing knowledge. Any documents you could send/link me on this subject would be greatly appreciated.

<b>Points awarded for helpful documentation as always.</b>

Many Thanks,

Hi Philip

I have worked extensively on RRB , just to give you an overview. There are two processes i.e. T&M (Time and Material) and FPP (Fixed Price Project). In case of T&M , employee is treated as material and efforts put in by him as time to bill.

Where as in FPP, there are fixed price contracts based on milestones that need to be released for billing.

Let me know if the above is of interest to you. You could reward points, if yes.

We could perhaps have subsequent interactions going forward.

Thanks for the quick replies, apologies for taking a while to get back. Yes I have access to OSS Notes I'll read over the documentation thanks.

Your overview was very helpful also Kalpesh, subsequent interactions going forward would be of great use to me as the project goes forward. As you obviously have extensive knowledge in this area it would be of great help to me thank you. Shall we use this thread as the forum for these interactions or by email? As I would obviously like to reward you points for any help in the future.

I've awarded points as promised.

Many Thanks,

Thanks for rewarding points. Greetings to forum.

I would prefer using this forum for the pieces of information regarding RBB that we exchange. This would eventually help other forum colleagues to gain knowledge.

However, information which i feel needs mail interaction, we shall go ahead.

Pls. suggest.

Kalpesh,

Great, I'll use the forum for the basis of questions raised.

I've been passed a requirement to set-up the following scenario.

- Create a PO

- Assign PO to WBS Element

- Attach WBS Element to Sales Order

- Bill the cost of the PO.

Could you advise me on how this scenario can be set-up using RRB please?

Many Thanks,

Hi

Hope the following material will be helpful.

To activate the billing plan function, maintain the materials, for which

you wish to process down payments, with item category group 0005

(milestone billing). This gives the item type TAO via item type

determination. The item type TAO calls up the billing plan function.

You need to implement the following activities in the billing plan for

down payments:

Maintaining the deadline type: This determines the billing rule

(percentage or value down payment) for the down payment request.

The system assigns billing type FAZ (payment request) defined in the

standard system with billing category P. (For the billing type FAZ there

is the cancellation billing document type FAS in the standard system).

Maintaining deadline proposal: Use the down payments that are due for

the proposed deadlines.

Maintaining a Pricing Procedure with the Condition Type AZWR:

In the standard system the condition type AZWR is delivered for the down

payment value already provided but which has not yet been calculated.

You must include this condition type in the relevant pricing procedure

before output tax.

Enter condition 2 (item with pricing) and the calculation formula 48

(down payment clearing value must not be bigger than the item value) for

the condition type AZWR.

Before the condition AZWR you can create a subtotal with the base value

calculation formula 2 (net value). If the condition AZWR is changed

manually, you can get information on the original system proposal from

the subtotal.

Maintain the printing indicator.

The pricing procedure can not be marked as a transaction-specific

pricing procedure (field Spec.proc.)

The condition type AZWR has the calculation type B (fixed amount) and

the condition category E (down payment request / clearing).

No statistical or inactive conditions are set in a down payment item. If

you require these conditions, use the user exit USEREXIT_PRICING_COPY in

include RV61AFZA.

Maintaing the Billing Document

In the standard system there is the billing type FAZ (down payment

request) and for cancelling the billing type FAS.

Controlling the down payment is done using the billing category P of the

billing type. A billing type becomes a down payment request when the

billing category P is assigned.

You have to maintain blocking reason 02 (complete confirmation missing)

for the billing documents and assign it to billing type FAZ.

Copying control:

Copying requirement 20 must be entered in copying control at item level

for the down payment request. In the standard system the order type TA

for copying control is set up according to the billing type FAZ for the

item category TAO.

Copying requirement 23 must be entered in copying control at item level

for down payment clearing. In the standard system the order type TA for

copying control is set up according to the billing type F2 for the item

category TAO.

Financial Accounting settings:

A prerequisite for down payment processing is that the account is

assigned to the underlying sales document. To do this, change the field

status settings in Customizing as follows:

Set reconciliation accounts (transaction OBXR)

For the 'received down payments' and 'down payment requests' from the

G/L accounts you have selected, you should assign the field status

definition G031.

Maintain accounting configuration (transaction OBXB)

For the down payments (posting key ANZ in the standard system) and the

output tax clearing (posting key MVA in the standard system), you must

maintain the posting key.

You must also carry out a G/L account number assignment for the tax

account.

Maintain the posting key (transaction OB41)

For posting key 19 set the sales order as an optional field !!!

Maintain the field status definition (transaction OB14)

For field status variant 0001, field status group G031, set the sales

order as an optional field !!!

Assign the company code to the field status variants (transaction OBC5)

Hi,

The best documentation on the DIP Profile is contained in OSS Note 301117. It is a pdf file that explains how the DIP Profile works and answers your questions. Do you have access to SAP Notes?
