hi,

Posting that is made automatically by the system for certain transactions.

Automatic postings are typically made for:

Output and input tax

Exchange rate differences

Cash discount paid and received

Each automatic posting is represented by a separate line item.

Billing Plan for Milestone Billing

Milestone billing means distributing the total amount to be billed over multiple billing

dates in the billing plan.

As each milestone is successfully reached, the customer is billed either a percentage of

the entire project cost or simply a pre-defined amount.

During sales order processing, the system determines from the item category whether a

billing plan is required and, if so, which type of plan

The type of billing plan that is determined at this point is set up in Customizing and

cannot be changed in the sales document.

Billing plans for periodic billing and milestone billing plans for project-related milestone

billing have different overview screens so that you can enter data relevant to your

processing.

For example, for milestone billing, you must be able to enter data to identify the

individual milestones.

IMG configuration requires :-

1. Maintain billing plan types for milestone billing in OVBO.

2. Define date description in SM30 - V_TVTB.

3. Maintain Date Category for Billing Plan Type IN OVBJ.

4. Allocate date category in SM30 - V_TFPLA_TY.

5. Maintain date proposal for Billing Plan Type in OVBM.

6. Assign Billing Plan Type to Sales Documents Type in OVBP.

7. Assign Billing Plan Type to Item Categories in OVBR.

8. Define rules for determining the date in OVBS.

Milestone billing is typically used for billing projects, such as plant engineering and

construction projects. Such projects often include a series of milestones that mark the

completion of different stages of the work. In the SAP R/3 System, milestones are defined

in a network along with planned and actual dates for the completion of work. The milestones

are also assigned to the billing dates in the billing plan.

Each milestone-related billing date is blocked for processing until the Project System

confirms that the milestone is completed.

Delivery-relevant order items for which a milestone billing plan applies are billed on the

basis of the requested delivery quantity and not on the total of the confirmed quantities.

The connection between the project and the sales document item is made in the individual

schedule lines of the item. Each schedule item can be assigned to a network in a project.

To display the project-related data for a schedule line, proceed as follows:

In one of the overview screens of the sales document, select

1. Item -> Schedule lines.

2. Mark the schedule line and select Procurement details.

The following figure shows an example of milestone billing where only the Contract have

been billed :

Order Item Turbine 100,000

Billing Plan

Billing date Description % Value Billing Block Milestone Billing Status

01-10-94 Contract 10 10,000 - x x

01-03-95 Assembly 30 30,000 x x

01-04-95 Maintenance 30 30,000 x x

01-05-95 Acceptance 30 30,000 x x

01-06-95 Final invoice .. .. x

Network/Activities

Milestone Estimate Actual

Assembly 01-03-95 01-03-95

Maintenance 01-04-95

Acceptance 01-05-95

For each billing date in a milestone billing plan, you can specify whether the billing

date is:

1. fixed

2. always updated with the actual date of the milestone

3. updated with the actual date of the milestone, if the date is earlier than the

planned billing date for the date

Dear Mahesh

1) Automatic Postings

When posting documents, the system automatically adds line items to manually entered items as needed. For example, the tax amount, the cash discount amount, and profits or losses from foreign currency translations (exchange rate differences) can all be calculated and posted automatically by the system. You can decide that accounts to which these automatic postings are made can only be posted to automatically. This will prevent any manual postings to such an account. A definition like this would be useful for tax accounts, if, for example, you had no subsequent tax debit to post.

2) Milestone Billing

Milestone billing is typically used for billing projects, such as plant engineering and construction projects. Such projects often include a series of milestones that mark the completion of different stages of the work. In the SAP R/3 System, milestones are defined in a network along with planned and actual dates for the completion of work. The milestones are also assigned to the billing dates in the billing plan. Each milestone-related billing date is blocked for processing until the Project System confirms that the milestone is completed.

For each billing date in a milestone billing plan, you can specify whether the billing date is:

  • fixed

  • always updated with the actual date of the milestone

  • updated with the actual date of the milestone, if the date is earlier than the planned billing date for the date

  • updated with the actual date of the milestone, if the date is earlier than the planned billing date for the date
