On the Billing tab page you define when and how the system is to execute a billing run for the account within end-of-day processing. You also define the length and the frequency of the billing periods here.

For more information, see Account Billing.

Prerequisites

  • Billing is activated as a feature in the product on which the account is based. You have made the relevant settings in Customizing for Account Management (FS-AM) under Create Account Product or Change Account Product.

  • You have set the Relevant for Billing indicator on the Posting Data tab page under Payment Item Control.

  • To ensure that payment items for an account are considered in the billing run, you have set the Other Price or Other Receivable indicator for the relevant transaction types in the Customizing activity Maintain and Assign Transaction Types for Payment Items.

  • You have made the necessary settings in Customizing. For more information, see the Prerequisites section of Account Billing.

Procedure

Basic Data

  1. Define the billing category. For more information about the billing categories, see the F1 help for the Billing Category field. The account product on which the account is based determines which billing categories you can use for the account.

  2. Depending on the billing category you are using, you need to select the following fields:

    • Determine Billing Items for Previous/Current Period

    • Use First/Last Due Date

    • Number of Lead Days

    • Number of Periods for Billing Category 03

Time periods

Define how often and when a billing period begins and ends for each day, week, month or year.

Result

The system executes the billing runs for the account during end-of-day processing and transfers the due expected incoming payments to the bill creation system as billing items. The bill creation system bills the business partner for the items.
