Remove billing block automatically in Periodic Billing plan

[aravindrawat]

Need help on below requirement--

We are using a periodic billing plan in Material Specific value contract. The process is like this- if I create a value contract of 120k $ for one year then we can bill the customer 10k $ for each month.

Now my requirement is If I create an invoice for January, how to remove the billing block automatically for the next month (February)? I can't remove the billing block for every month, If did, the system will allow me to create invoices for all months in January itself. I just want to create an invoice monthly-wise.

Or Can we automate this process? I mean is it possible system create invoice each month automatically?

Oh sorry my miss. You need to develop a custom program considering tables VBAK, VBAP & FPLT and if needed, a field for user id can be added for validation.

Hi Lakshmipathi,

If we develop a custom program for it, do we have to run it manually?? Is there any way for automating this process? Every month SAP remove billing block for particular month.

Bom Dia,
Sou novo com programa de faturamento, estou precisando resolver a seguinte questão:

Quando um contrato não se inicia no primeiro dia do mês, o sistema deveria calcular de forma proporcional a primeira fatura a ser cobrada desse cliente.

Como devo seguir para que o sistema calcule essa primeira fatura de forma proporcional as demais ?

Grato.

Good Morning,

I'm new with billing program, I need to solve the following issue:

When a contract does not start on the first day of the month, the system must calculate the first invoice proportionally.

You can automate this process. The logic can be

Pass VBELN in FPLA table and take FPLNR value. Pass this FPLNR value to FPLT table and check which date is there in AFDAT

Schedule a background job for vf04 or vf06 with a variant of billing date (FKDAT) and with USEREXIT_FILL_VBRK_VBRP in program RV60AFZC, you need to validate AFDAT and if that date falls within the variant date, clear the value from FAKSP and proceed for billing. If the AFDAT is not within the FKDAT, then, skip the VBELN

[Lakshmipathi]

One option is to create a variant in v.23 for each month and schedule a background job
