Identification of time booked on weekend and billing to customer.

[Former Member]

Hi Expert,

In one the customer requirement, on project ,employees time booked on saturday and sunday through CATS/ESS portal need to be captured and identified seperately as this is treated as a overtime. There is a seperate billing rate agreed with customer for saturday and sunday. For e.g;  Per hour  billing rate from Monday to friday is 150 USD. Whereas if an employee would work on saturday/sunday then per hour billing rate is 180 USD.

So, what can be a possible solution to identify employees time booked on saturday/sunday seperately, so that when running transaction DP91(RRB) system picks up respective billing rate maintained for saturday/sunday and raise a billing request.

Thanks.

Hi,

One suggestion, Set up a different activity type to book the weekend time.

Hi,

AS-IS: Are you booking the time on some activity Type with a Certain Rate?

To-Be: Would need to book the time for the week end on the Activity Type with an Enhanced Rate. If possible a Validation at the time of Time booking can be achieved. May require the Modification in the way DP91 (DIP Customization) picks up the Activitities for billing (Presuming Activity Type group).

Hope it Helps!

Hi Varshal,

Thanks for the prompt reply.

But here i would like to say that , it is a billing rate for customer which is different from weekdays and weekend, but not the  rate at which cost get posted on project . So, whether employee working on weedays or weekend , cost get posted on project with a same hourly rate which is maintained for activity type in KP26.

So, please suggest , should i still go for different activity type  ?.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Akhil,

If the ultimate aim is just to bill the Customer with enhanced rate, a Debit/Credit memo will also Work.

Please speak with SD consultant if he can provide some more inputs on it.

Hope it helps!

Hi Varshal,

Thanks a lot for your inputs.

I understand a Debit memo can also work to bill the customer. But it is just not about billing only, but it is more about providing a sloution which fits in the existing process of time booking and then raising a customer invoice through RRB based on the cost posted on the project.

Anyways, i have thought a workaround. Will ask user to fill the timesheet for weekdays and weekend seperately i.e. while creating a TS user will create two rows one for weekdays and another for weekend.And to weekend will assign a different Attendance or Absence type and in DIP profile will use an exit to  add this as a characterstic and then billing request can be generated for weekends with enhanced rates.
