 Reversing Account Billing for an Account

Use

You use this function to reverse the last billing run executed by the system for an individual account.

For more information, see Account Billing .

Integration

You can reverse the last run report simultaneously for multiple accounts by executing the following mass run in Account Management (FS-AM) : Start of the navigation path Periodic Tasks Next navigation step Account Billing Next navigation step Reverse Account Billing End of the navigation path .

After the reversal of a billing run, the system automatically flags the billing run for correction. You can make the correction within end-of-day processing as a mass run under Start of the navigation path Periodic Tasks Next navigation step Account Billing Next navigation step Correct Account Billing End of the navigation path .

You can use the Display Billing Dates report to see whether a billing run for an account has already been reversed and is flagged for correction.

Prerequisites

You can reverse billing items that have already been cleared by the bill creation system (after an incoming payment from the business partner); however, you need to trigger manual postprocessing to reimburse cleared amounts to the business partner, if this is required.

Features

During the reversal, the report selects the execution date of the current billing run. The system uses this date to determine the previous billing run and reverses it. You use the Display Billing Dates report to find the execution date for the current billing run and the execution date of the previous billing run (that the system can reverse) for each account.

The report reverses the billing items generated in the last billing run and sets the Flagged for Correction indicator for the billing run. This locks the billing run for subsequent regular billing runs.

When you have made the desired changes, which are relevant for billing, you need to restart the reversed billing run using the Correct Account Billing function.

Activities

You can start the report on the SAP Easy Access screen under Start of the navigation path Account Management (FS-AM) Next navigation step Account Next navigation step Account Billing Next navigation step Reverse Account Billing for Account End of the navigation path .
