Querry related to Billing request

[Former Member]

I have a basic question related to Billing request ..while creating billing request via DP90 - system is showing me expense view & sales view ..In expense view i am getting the details from Service Order and material name as defined in DIP Profile .. when going to sales view -same data from expense view is getting copied and no other details are there, same details are getting copied to Billing request as well. Hence the amount being billed is same as Service order actual cost ..so i want to know - for what purpose we have the sales view in DP90 ..

Note :- In DIP Profile - it is mentioned as Transfer Quantity and costs ..

Giri,

The sales view shows you what will appear on the billing request/DMR.

There are many ways you can bill the customer but the most common are:

• Cost plus: this is where you add a specific value/percentage to the actual cost of the service
• Flat rate: where you have the same charge to the customer independent of the actual cost
• Variable pricing: where there is no direct relationship between the actual cost and the billing amount, e.g. local pricing schemes
• Combination of all the above

So the sales view will display the data according the settings you have made for pricing in the SD module.

In your case, since the expense and the sales views are the same, then it appears you are billing the customer the same value as it is costing you i.e. you are not making a profit..

Hi ,

     Thanks for the details. For my case - if i want to have  sales view as per SD Pricing , i believe we need to maintain condition records for the required condition types ..as per the Pricing procedure ..

Ways of Billing :-

• Cost plus: this is where you add a specific value/percentage to the actual cost of the service 
• Flat rate: where you have the same charge to the customer independent of the actual cost 
• Variable pricing: where there is no direct relationship between the actual cost and the billing amount, e.g. local pricing schemes 
• Combination of all the above

So for the above ways of BIlling wat more changes are required ..

Giri,

Yes, you need to create the SD Prices via VK11 for all the options above.

Hi

if you use billing profile as 01 ( flat rate billing( , you are suppose to Bill the client on Flat rate billing. In that process except of the service material all the other items should have prices as zero and the recommended approach is to have Manual pricing condition for the service material where you can manually put a cost plus rate and can decide what margings who are going to have. Or you can set up the pricing condition using mark up to bill the client

Using billing profile 02 (RRB) you can mark up the prices for each of the dynamic item by certain % or can decide to accumulate the prices under one head and can mark up on that. IYou can also decide to bill customer for actual prices of resources or on cost.

I hope this helps.

Thanks
