Payment Terms

$
0
0

Hi,

 

We have a requirement  where the 30 days payment terms for collective invoices should follow based on days of the week on which the child contract accounts are invoiced,

 

For example,

 

Contract Account 1 - Invoiced on 02/02/2016 (Week 1)

Contract Account 2 - Invoiced on 03/02/2016 (Week 1)

 

When collective invoicing is performed for the above Contract Accounts (linked to same Collective Contract Account), The collective invoice should take base line date as 07/02/2016  and add 30 days for Due Date.

 

Similarly, if the Child invoices are billed in different days of the weeks, when Collective invoicing is processed, it needs to pick up 7, 14, 21 & 28 as the fixed baseline date based on child invoices date and add 30 days as payment terms to arrive at due date.


Is it possible to create a Payment term which can be assigned at collective contract account to meet the above requirement?


If yes, can you please guide me on the parameters to be maintained in the payment terms creation?




Thanks,

Archive old devices that have been scrapped

$

Hi All,

 

We are looking for a solution to delete old IS-U devices (meters) from the SAP database.

 

Our client has been running SAP for almost 10 years now and they want to delete meters that have not been used for more than 3 years as that would basically mean that such devices have already been scrapped a long time ago.

 

So far, we have looked at note 378823 which suggests that the archiving object PM_EQUI can be used to archive/delete meters but only those which have been created inadvertently. However, meters that have usage history cannot be archived through this process.

Even when we set the Deletion Flag for such meters, the PM_EQUI process would not delete these objects as they were installed more than 3 years ago and there would usage history records in the system (Tables EGER*, logical device number, etc)


Also, raised an SAP incident to which SAP has responded that the request falls under something they call "Consulting Request".

 

Any pointers to help us in this venture would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Hi Experts,

'

I have a scenario called "Vigilance"  (Theft billing) : Assessment of Energy Charges in Case of Unauthorized Use /Theft of Electricity we have to bill as per the Supply code.If the

 

 

CASE1:-

 

1. If Utility Customer already Existing Customer in our SAP system:

 

The Assessing Officer shall determine the number of days during which the unauthorized use of electricity has taken place after proper scrutiny and analysis of the inspection done, data collected in monthly meter reading, data stored in the meter, date of purchase and installation of appliances found during inspection, and any other relevant factors.

 

The Assessing officer has first to ascertain the period if the period during which such unauthorized use of electricity has taken place can not be ascertained by the assessing officer even after the consideration of the above, such period shall be limited to 12 (twelve ) months immediately preceding the date of inspection, and in that case the Assessing officer has to give clear and reasoned order for using the period of twelve months and the explanation as to why the period could not be ascertained.

 

What i am trying to say here for Existing Consumers we have a option in FPE1 Manual posting for Debit transaction, against we can take money from him in FPCJ/FP05/FP25 etc.,

 

CASE2:-.


2nd case treatment same as above but the Consumer not our existing Consumer, he is Out side of SAP system.


Here i need to post manual entry like earlier, is there any Provision in SAP ISU FICA?


If the consumer not agreed with Assessing officer what ever he coded in terms of Money, he can approach to Court again Compounding Charges comes into Picture.

 

 

How to over come 2nd CASE, without Master data with me ?

Mass meter read upload transaction

$

Hi,

 

We have a process where in meter reads which are not read by MDM/third party meter readers are sent on paper prints. Each paper print has details like fast entry number, check number, serial number, meter read date, meter read, register, service location etc. Now there is a standard tcode EL22 which could be use to upload these reads into our system (CSR would read each paper print and upload them one by one through EL22). However EL22 doesn't support move-in/ move-out read upload and most of our paper prints read deal with move-in/move-out reads.

 

basically business wants a mass tcode which users could make use of to enter move-in/out reads (present on paper print) en-mass (instead of entering these reads one by one). What is the precedence that is followed at other utilities in requirements like this ?

 

 

Your help would be appreciated!

Reconciliation Account determination in SD/FICA interface

$

Hi...

 

While posting some charges other than security deposit from SD to FICA, every time it picks up a single reconciliation account for all the contract accounts irrespective of account determination id attached to that contract account. As I know, it picks up reconciliation account from OV64. Here we have maintained Condition type, Chart of acc, Sales org, Dist Chanl. On these basis it is picking up reconciliation account. Due to this, it picks up single GL account for all domestic, industrial, commercial consumers(We have separate account determination id at contract account level for each domestic, commercial, industrial).

 

How can I config to pick up different reconciliation accounts, for different account determination id ?

 

Thanks

EA26 runtime is uneven

$

Hi Experts,

 

We have an issue on production system wherein the number of print documents created after EA26 run is very uneven and varies widely.

At times there are (say) 50k print documents created and next day (say) 70k and then (say) 40k documents.

 

We have suggested to create a batch program that will call multiple EA26 jobs based upon the count of CAs and the maximum number of CAs that can be processed (say 10k).

Example if the count of CAs is 50,000 then 50,000 / 10,000 = 5 EA26 jobs are called.

Like implementing parallel processing for the tcode.

 

My question is that is there any other way we can resolve this issue? Some standard SAP settings that might help us resolve the issue?

Or we can enhance some events?

Kindly suggest.

Early help would be much appreciated.

 

 

Many thanks,

Let us Suppose that User has Move-in on 30-March-2015 and Periodic Billing date is 15-Apr-2015 then Periodic Billing will happen in the next Cycle i.e. in 2016 not on 15-Apr-2015 . Now User has done the Periodic Billing in 2016 . After that he Mistakenly created a Interim Meter reading order for year before that is 31-March 2015 . When he realizes he reverse the interim billing order . Now what happen is that he found that Periodic Meter reading Order for 30-March 2015 automatically created .Ideally That should not happen . Will you please kindly help me why periodic MRO for 2015 has been created automatically after reversal of Interim MRO .

Link between suppressed MRO and supressing MRO

$
0
0

Hi,

 

We have a requirement where we need to identify the meter read order which suppressed another meter read order . For example : suppose there are 3 orders within 5 days interval , a move-out order , a periodic and a move-in order in same sequence. Now ideally in this case move-in order would be suppressed . I need to know which MRO suppressed move-in order so that the read for suppressing order (in all likelihood the move-out order) could be used to fulfil suppressed MRO i.e. move-in order as well.

 

I know there is a SPRO config which determines the priority of orders for suppression purpose but I need to know whether there is a direct link between a suppressed and a suppressing order.

 

 

Any help would be appreciated!

Event R402 NEWDOC

$

Hello Experts,

 

I am using event R402 in ISU to create new BP line items and new GL line items for several scenarios.  When these line items are passed to invoice, their "line item types" in the print document overview are shown as "NEWDOC".  I would like to replace the "NEWDOC" with "A" or "B" depending on scenarios.  This is because our bill print logic is based on line item types.  We need to treat A differently from B in our billing print. 

 

Is there a way to edit the line item type "NEWDOC" that is derived from R402?

 

Thank you very much!
