Rental billings and final customer billing from single sales order

[lakshmikanthc2]

Hi,

I have a problem with deliveries for which invoice status is not relevant for billing. The cause of this is Billing Relevance defined in item category (ZMVN-Lease Item-Rental Machine) and it is 'I - Order-relevant billing - billing plan instead' of 'A - Delivery-related billing document'. The reason for this is down payment process for machine rental amount and billing plan functionality. I want to have one sales order from which i can use for rental payment billings and afterward a delivery and invoice for the complete machine finally. The problem is that delivery is not a billing relevant document because of the statuses of the fields VBUK-FKSTK and VBUP-FKSTA. Is there a user-exit or some other functionality to change status of these field? 

Seems these fields are copied form sales order to delivery! I tried to change item category in delivery through debugger but the result is the same.

Can we use below user exit to change the status of billing relevant in delivery header and item? Or are there any other best user exits to handle this?

EXIT_SAPLV05I_002 -- SAP Function module - User Exit for Billing Index for Delivery Reference

Thanks in advance for help!!

Hi,

We have achieved this by user exit at delivery level, the status of the billing relevance has been changed thru user exit to relevant for billing at delivery document level. It (delivery) was not relevant for billing before since the item category config is relevant for order related billing.

So, now we are able to do the rental billings from order rental billing plan data and after end of the rental contract say one year later able to do the actual deliver, shipment and invoice from same sales order.

The problem is that delivery is not a billing relevant document

Not sure what exactly you want after going through your above post.  Initially you say you wanted to do delivery and invoice and you also say, delivery is not a billing relevant.

You should be aware, system will consider a line item for billing based on the "Billing Relevance" set for your item category.  You should have two item categories; one for rental billing and another for delivering the machine where the Billing Relevance should be B and A respectively.  If you don't want any line item to populate in billing, then this field should left blank.

Hi Lakshmikanth Reddy,

Create a New billing type(for Order related for rental billings) and assign it to the sales document type VOV8. & Delivery related billing keep it as it is.

Based on item category settings you can do the order related or delivery billing you can perform.

Thanks,

Krishna.
