create new dates in the biliing plan

[Former Member]

Hello Gurus,

following is the function I want to implement:

You can create new dates either directly in the biliing plan, or using the report RVFPLA01. You

should schedule the report to run at regular intervals, since new dates are not formed automatically

when individual settlement periods are billed.

question is :

(1) how to create new date using the report RVFPLA01 ?

(2) how to schedule the report to run at regular intervals ?

thanks very much!

a) Go to ABAP editor SE38, enter program name RVFPLA01 and click execute button

A screen opens up with heading 'sales documents with periodic billing - add dates'

Enter your periodic billing document number and click execute

You would get a screen saying xxxxxxxxxxx document has been saved.

Now the above program has generated a new billing date for your document

b) Go to ABAP editor SE38, enter program name RVFPLA01

on the menu bar, select program -> Execute -> Background

A screen with heading Execute report in background opens up.

Select the schedule button. You are now in schedule report screen.

You have the report name i.e. program name by default

You have to enter a variant name. In this case you have to create one.

The process is -

select variants button on bar (you have 3 buttons variants, job overview, spool)

Enter variant name as for example ZKAM and click create

Now in the document box, select your document number i.e. for which your report has to run at regular intervals.

click attributes button

give a description for your variant name for e.g. billing report for XYZ

and save it.

Now come back to schedule report screen.

Give a name for the job

Enter start date & time

Select Schedule once or schedule periodically as per your requirement.

In case you choose schedule periodically, you have further selection box.

Hope this clears your doubt.
