What is a Retroactive Billing and where is it used. Can you substantiate it with a practical example?
Hi,
Retroactive billing is a special billing function often used in scheduling agreement processing.
Features
With the retroactive billing function, you can:
Call up a list of documents affected by price changes
Trigger the system to create the necessary retroactive billing documents directly from the list
Create credit or debit memos directly
Procedure
In Billing choose Billing document Retro-billing.
Enter a payer, a sales organization, to and from dates, and pricing type B or C .
The system automatically proposes pricing type C . Besides these required entries, you can also enter a currency, sold-to party, or material to narrow your search.
Choose Enter.
The system creates a list, displaying documents and subtotals for each combination of currency, sold-to party and material.
If you are working with this function for the first time you must first set the billing types for credit and debit memos and the order reasons for these documents.
Choose Settings Change, enter your data, and choose Save. Although the system will propose these settings as default in future documents, you can change them at any time.
Select the document or documents that you want to bill retroactively and choose Retro-billing.
Only items with open quantities can be selected. If you cannot select an item, this means that it has already been processed.
To simulate the retroactive billing function, choose Simulate
Review any errors in a log
Simulate the retroactive billing process for any document

hai,
retroactive billing is used in scenarios where there is an accumulated discounts
and the billing is done retroactively i.e after wards with reference to the previous
accumulated discounts,
the scenario would be rebates where the discounts are accumulated and billing is done afterwards for that ,i.e if i run a scheme for may,june,july upon a certain quantity achievemnts ,the customer entitled for the discounts will be stored for every month and after the closing of the scheme i.e in july the accumulated discounts will be paid to him.
thank you
