Billing for Commercial and Industrial Customers 

Purpose

You can use this business scenario to bill, invoice, and print your company’s supply and demand services for commercial and industrial customers.

Contract billing allows you to map all possible combinations of different billing steps. The dynamic rate determination allows you to quickly adjust complete customer groups for new rates in the company. Contract billing also offers provides the opportunity to map rate models to deregulated markets (for example, real-time pricing).

Invoicing provides the necessary processes for creating bills, in connection with a contract billing. It guarantees the integration of contract accounts receivable and payable (FI-CA) in SAP Utilities (IS-U).
