Settlement of PBE as TBE

Use

ETM equipment activity can be settled differently for different recipients. For example, there is an indicator ( PBE as TBE indicator) in the recipient master record that allows you to determine that the same equipment is settled as time-based equipment (TBE) for external recipients and as performance-based equipment (PBE) for internal recipients.

Prerequisites

The basis for settlement of performance-based equipment as time-based equipment (PBE as TBE) is the shipping document.

The PBE as TBE indicator must have been set in the Recipient Master Record for the recipient that you want to include in settlement.

The equipment type for the equipment must be relevant to stock checks (= performance-based equipment).

The prerequisites from Settlement of Time-Based Equipment also apply.

Exception

If PBE has been sent to a customer using a shipping document and no PBE document has been created during the whole commissioning period, the PBE is settled as though it were TBE (using the shipping document). This avoids the case of the customer not being billed at all.

Activities

Flag the PBE as TBE indicator in the Settlement data view of the recipient master record (see: Changing a Recipient Master Record .
