 Creating a Billing Request

To create billing requests, proceed as follows:

  1. In the SD Sales Screen select,

  2. Start of the navigation path Order Next navigation step Subsequent functions Next navigation step Resource-rel.billing. Billing document End of the navigation path .

    You reach the Create Billing Request for Resource-Related Billing.

    You can enter a sales order item or an order number in the initial screen.

    When the system creates billing requests, it differentiates between two views:

    View for the sales order

    During billing, all objects are included in a sales order item. In this way, either one item of a sales order (maintenance order) is billed or the billing hierarchy underlying the item is billed.

    View for the order

    During billing, the resource items are determined for individual orders. For example, for internal or PM orders which are assigned to a sales order item.

    For further information on the objects in the billing structure, see billing objects .

    You can adjust the settings in several ways in the initial screen.

  3. In the date field you can restrict the period for which the documents are to be selected.

  4. Select the required indicator.

  5. Statistical key figures

    If this indicator is set, the document to be billed is determined with statistical key figures. For example, kilometers completed, in the case of road construction. Otherwise the document to be billed is determined on the basis of cost and services.

    For further information, see Determining Resources to be Billed .

    Object selection

    If this indicator is marked, you can select the objects relevant for billing manually.

    You reach the overview list for all objects in the billing hierarchy. You can suppress individual objects or branches of the object hierarchy. The resource items contained in the suppressed objects are not taken into account during billing. This is how you form a partial billing structure.

    If you have not marked either of the indicators, all of the objects belonging to the sales order item are copied into the billing request.

  6. You can now:

  7. a) save the billing request

    The system copies all resource items belonging to the billing hierarchy objects into the billing request. The system copies all resource items without quantity changes as items in the billing request.

    If you set the Object selection indicator, you can edit the billing hierarchy as required beforehand. If you formed a partial hierarchy structure, pressBill structure. You reach the initial screen. The billing request is created.

    b) call the overview for items in the billing request. Depending on whether you have set the Object selection indicator, you either reach the list of the billing hierarchy objects or you branch directly to the: Create Debit Memo Request: Overview

    The resource items of the selected objects are displayed as items in the billing request. You can now edit these items.

    Save the billing request upon finishing editing.

  8. The system issues a document number for the billing request. The
