Commitment on Sales Order (Customer)

Former Member

Hello Gurus,

im working with PS and Commitments (cost side). Everything is going fine till one point.

I nee to have DEBIT item or in other words part of the created PO's commitments need to be created as Sales Order assigned to WBS.

This SO item should reduce the commitment amount in WBS element.

Lets say a commitment (credit-Vendor item) is created for WBS X/NB61AAA/01-02 with amount of 1000 EUR.

I need to create a Customer commitment (debit item) for the same WBS element with amount of 200 EUR, so the Actual/Commitment/Plan and Budget reports should result in such a way that only 800 EUR is shown.

I searched the all mighty google and SCN and found a lot info regarding Fund Management, Cash Management, Billing Plan according to milestones, but i cant distinguish wich is or should be the best way to implement.

Please advice.

Regards

Laurynas Prikockis

Hi,

Never came across such a requirement.

But from what i know, i dont think this would be possible in standard SAP. I mean reduction of commitments based on the SO line item.

Lets see what others have to say.

Hi Gokul,

thanks a lot for a quick responce.

Maybe i could refrase the question. if we make a SO on WBS element where can it be seen in PS?

I found that the are several commitment types:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/4c/22756546e611d189470000e829fbbd/frameset.htm

one of them is Invoice issue (commitment).

maybe this one could be used as revenue commitment.

The idea is not to reduce the PO commitments but to display the revenue commitments also.

Hi,

If your intention is to see this SO value in some report in PS then it is definitely possible. You can run report S_ALR_87013531 and see this value in the Planned Revenue column. One more thing, this figure is not treated as a revenue commitment but is called as Planned Revenue. You can also see this figure in the CJI3 report as a negative figure by filtering the report for Debit type 2.

There are other structure reports as well which display this revenue figure. You can explore that in the Information Systems node under Project System in SAP.

Hi

Ive added an image, where we have Actual, Commitments, Total, Plan.

S_ALR_87013542 - Actual/Commitment/Total/Plan in CO Area Currency

The commitment on revenue G/L (starting with 5) is 0, the planned value is filled according to plan.

I want the revenue G/L to be filled in Commitment column. I think this is not possible or am i wrong?

In other words, no revenue commitments are posted at all.

Hi,

You will be able to see a value in the actual column when you do the billing for the SO and post an invoice. This will result in actual revenue posting.

I am afraid, your understanding is incorrect. I would suggest you to got through the Revenues & Earning section in SAP Help. (help.sap.com).

Hope this clears your doubt.

Hi,

You wanted to see the calculated revenue basing on actual costs incurred on project?Revenue commitments?, planned billing amount maintained in Sales Order (SO) this you can see in various reports for example in CN41N and other SLR reports.

Your question is bit confusing to me and not clear. But I am sure PR/PO commitments are different.

Please note that, we never use word "revenue commitments" rather we use the word billing plan or revenue planning amount?

Hi,

the term "revenue commitment" was used in such a way, that i couldn find anything else suitable to describe the needed requirement.

The idea of mine is to have revenue planning or billing plan but in a detailed way like PO has.

The PO has vendor, material, UoM, Qty, WBS assignment etc.

The Revenue planning is done on WBS level and Cost element. Im using this functionality where i plannet total revenue on whole project, but this is not enought in my case.

The billing plan sound a bit closer, but i dont know how to do it. Any help would be grate.

Thanks and regards

Hi,

Is your Project is associated with Sales Order? then, first create billing aginst Billing WBS element and copy to Sales Order line item. Please search forum you will have lots of threads.

If Project does not have Sales Order then using transaction CJ40 do revenue planning. Please look out for forum or wiki you will have solution. Also help.sap.com for revenue planning.

Hi Sudhakar,

What do you mean with association?

ive maintained the billing plan. the revenue gets populated in SLR reports

The only thing that is unclear, the usage of SO in that case.

btw. thanks.

Hi,

ive managed to understand what is hidden behind the billing plan and SO.

The idea is to use at first billing plan for amount and date planning, where as the second step is to assign a CONTRACT document another SO but from contract point of view TC: VA41.

After that you assign the contract doc.no. to billing plan.
