Alternative to milestone and periodic billing?

[Former Member]

Hey gurus,

I recently got a request for service contract sales orders to generate a single bill for the entire amount owed.

The problem i'm facing is that the bills are being split monthly and no matter what setting I alter or try, I can't seem to generate a one time bill per sales order made. It doesn't matter if the contract is valid for a day, week, month, or year, the requirement is that only one billing document be generated.

I would really appreciate any guidance you might have on this matter (tried both milestone and periodic billing).

Thanks in advance for your guidance.

Hi,

you can check in VOV7 for item category

Hi Maria,

You can confirm if billing plan is enabled by checking if there is some value available for the field "Billing Plan Type" in the Item Category configuration and also for the SD Document type. You can check the same using the transactions VOV7 for Item Category and VOV8 for SD Document type.

If some value is available then please check if making this field blank will satisfy your requirement as Santosh has already suggested.

Hi,

try to set a billing date in VF04, tab default. This date will apply to all selected documents and hopefully avoiding split by billing date.
