Resource-Related Billing 

The resource-related billing function has been developed further for Release 4.5A. Resource-related as it existed previous to Release 4.5 will only be supported until the next functional release. A conversion program is provided to support the cross-over to the new functionality.

The following documentation describes the old function. For information on the new function see Resource Related Billing.

Use

In many cases, the prices for customer-specific activities are neither stored in the form of fixed prices nor calculated using standard pricing. This is because it may be the first time that you are carrying out particular activities. This means that you have no reference values on which to calculate a costing before you close the contract. Examples of where this might happen include:

Orders of this kind are billed according to the resources consumed in executing them. In resource-related billing, individual materials, internal company services and costs are passed on to the customer.

Billing requests during resource-related billing serve as the basis for creating billing documents. You can create billing requests for customer orders, customer projects and service orders. Items are created in the billing request on the basis of information on the resources to be billed.
