[Former Member]

Friends,

How Billing planes (Milestone) can be used in the down payment processing?

Here we are collecting 30% payment during sales order creation & 70% during shipment.

Thanks

Hi shiv patil

make the following down payment configurations

item category group - 0005

item category - TAO

for this TAO item category a billing plan 01 (milestone billing plan -01) will be assigned and its billing relevance should be I which is order related billing .

billing doc type - FAZ

cancellation billing doc type - FAS

maintain a condition type AZWR which is down payment settlement , it has requirement as 2 and calc type as 48 acct key as ERL

Now when you enter a material in line item 10 and go to item data , you can see the billing plan tab.

now go to billing plan tab and enter the start date and enter the dates on which billing has to be done and then in billing request enter 0009 which is for down payment.once u press enter automatically it all the dates get blocked and billing request by default you get as 1 , that you change it to 4 or 5 . 4 is for down payment at value basis and 5 is for down payment at percentage basis. and beside that there will be a billing type .assign billing doc type as FAZ. to all dates

check the copying requirements are there at VTFA as 20 and for item category TAO copying requirements 23 is maintained or not

now do the cycle OR - LF - FAZ (billing doc type)

Now in your case enter 30% of the net value automatically the remaining amount will get calculated

Hi,

Billing plan process-

Create one order type with item category TAO(milestone)

Create two new payment terms(one is for 30% and second one for 100%)

Create one conditin record with payment terms(key combination)

Maintin these two payment terms in vk11(30% AND 100% )

Create sales order-go to header data- enter the payment terms as 30% and save the document.

go to change mode of sales order- go to header data -billing plan tab and remove the billing block for 30%, if it for 100% then remove billing block for 100% and save the document.

create downpayment.

I hope this will help you.

Regards,

Hi Friend,

Mile stone billing is part of PROJECT SYSTEMS MODULE integrated with SD.

Milestone billing is practiced by Infrastructure companies and Power Ind,and construction industry(projects).

Billing Plan for Milestone Billing

Milestone billing means distributing the total amount to be billed over multiple billing

dates in the billing plan.

As each milestone is successfully reached, the customer is billed either a percentage of

the entire project cost or simply a pre-defined amount.

During sales order processing, the system determines from the item category whether a

billing plan is required and, if so, which type of plan

The type of billing plan that is determined at this point is set up in Customizing and

cannot be changed in the sales document.

Billing plans for periodic billing and milestone billing plans for project-related milestone

billing have different overview screens so that you can enter data relevant to your

processing.

For example, for milestone billing, you must be able to enter data to identify the

individual milestones.

IMG configuration requires :-

1. Maintain billing plan types for milestone billing in OVBO.

2. Define date description in SM30 - V_TVTB.

3. Maintain Date Category for Billing Plan Type IN OVBJ.

4. Allocate date category in SM30 - V_TFPLA_TY.

5. Maintain date proposal for Billing Plan Type in OVBM.

6. Assign Billing Plan Type to Sales Documents Type in OVBP.

7. Assign Billing Plan Type to Item Categories in OVBR.

8. Define rules for determining the date in OVBS.

Milestone billing is typically used for billing projects, such as plant engineering and

construction projects. Such projects often include a series of milestones that mark the

completion of different stages of the work. In the SAP R/3 System, milestones are defined

in a network along with planned and actual dates for the completion of work. The milestones

are also assigned to the billing dates in the billing plan.

Each milestone-related billing date is blocked for processing until the Project System

confirms that the milestone is completed.

Delivery-relevant order items for which a milestone billing plan applies are billed on the

basis of the requested delivery quantity and not on the total of the confirmed quantities.

The connection between the project and the sales document item is made in the individual

schedule lines of the item. Each schedule item can be assigned to a network in a project.

To display the project-related data for a schedule line, proceed as follows:

In one of the overview screens of the sales document, select

1. Item -> Schedule lines.

2. Mark the schedule line and select Procurement details.

The following figure shows an example of milestone billing where only the Contract have

been billed :

Order Item Turbine 100,000

Billing Plan

Billing date Description % Value Billing Block Milestone Billing Status

01-10-94 Contract 10 10,000 - x x

01-03-95 Assembly 30 30,000 x x

01-04-95 Maintenance 30 30,000 x x

01-05-95 Acceptance 30 30,000 x x

01-06-95 Final invoice .. .. x

Network/Activities

Milestone Estimate Actual

Assembly 01-03-95 01-03-95

Maintenance 01-04-95

Acceptance 01-05-95

For each billing date in a milestone billing plan, you can specify whether the billing

date is:

1. fixed

2. always updated with the actual date of the milestone

3. updated with the actual date of the milestone, if the date is earlier than the

planned billing date for the date

Reward points if helpful.
