Hi
I have a situation where a service item is bundled with a deliverable item. The order is as follows
Line Item Mat Qty Higher Level Item
10 Item No.1 (Physical Item) 1
20 Item No.2 (Service Item) 1 10
For the deliverable item 10 , Revenue is recognized immediately. For the Service item no.20 , revenue needs to be recognized over a period of 1 Year (It is a 1 year service contract).
The whole order is created via BAPI from an external 3rd party order capture system.
In order to do revenue recognition properly for service items , SAP I believe has 2 options
1. Based on Billing plan dates
2. Based on contract start dates
Since order with both the line items need to produce 1 invoice, I cannot use billing plan . The only other option is to use contract start and end dates. I have enabled contract data at the sales order level. So when I enter the contract start and end dates manually at the line item level and set the item category to recognize revenue based on contract start and end dates based on time-based revenue recognition it is working fine.
But I need a way to automate the population of contract start and end dates at the line item level. My ABAP guy is not able to find a user exit that can change the XVEDA or any VEDA structure in any of the user exits.
I guess the SAP SD gurus out there would have definitely dealt with a situation of product bundling (Service and non-service items in the same sales order with one billing document , but seperate revenue recognition for service and non-service items)
Please help.
Thnx
Siva
