Sales New Billing plan, Contract dates don't get populated.

[former_member271718]

I want to create a new periodic billing plan for a contract. The billing of the contract will be done directly based on the contract, the billing is order related. The billing should be done at the end of every month.

I created a new billing plan C0 (periodical with the following settings):

The 90 numbers are used because someone has change the standard of SAP, the 13, 14 and 52. They have been set equal to the standards.

• Start date 90 (13):
• o Base Line date 02 contract start date
• o Contract data Marked.
• End date 91 (14):
• o Base Line Date 09 contract end date
• o Contract data Marked.
• Horizon 95 (52):
• o Baseline date = 01 Today’s date
• o Time period = 1
• o Time Unit = 4 Year
• o Last of Month = B Last of the Month
• Next Billing date 51
• o Baseline date = 07 Billing date / Invoice date
• o Time period = 1
• o Time Unit 3 = Month
• o Last of Month = B Month
• Default Date Category = 01.
• Online Order X
• FCode 0002.

I assigned the Billing plan to the new contract type and I did the same to the item category, that is Relevant code I “Order relevant billing - billing plan” and my new billing plan type C0.

Now when I create a new contract valid from 1-1-2017 (in the past) till 31-12-2017 for a customer and a material and when I go to the header data -> Billing plan I got a message no. V2406 “Start date billing plan: Base line date 90 not set, the same applies to the end date.

And this is the result.

If I enter the Start date 1-1-2017 and End date 31-12-2017 manual then the dates are proposed.

I have a few questions now:

• What is the cause of the problem?
• What customizing or master data setting is missing or might cause the problem?
• How can I debug the determination of the dates?

Hi there,

Problem is solved. It was a new contract type (Z order type), transaction group 4 Contract, defined by me and somehow I needed to confirm that contract data is allowed. Define in the order type under section Contract "Contract data allwd." = X? Very strange but it works like a charm now.

Hi G Lakshmipathi,

Please read my initial question, there you can see I created a Billing plan CO (OVBM) with correct date rules etcetera, everything was already in place. Just one setting was missing.

Problem solved.

Check whether you set any date for your Billing Plan in OVBM where once you click "Maintain date", you can see this.
