Billing Plan: Periodic Billing Part I

Periodic billing is also part of billing plan type.

Billing plan types are breakdown into two categories, there are:

When
processing an order, instead of storing a single billing date, you can store a detailed billing
plan with several billing dates in the sales sales document at item level.

You can also define a billing plan at header level, which is then valid for all items assigned to
it. These header billing plans are assigned to sales document types.

Periodic billing is often used for rental and service and service agreements, in order to bill the
full amount periodically at certain dates.

Milestone billing is often used in plant engineering and construction, in order to spread
billing of the full amount over several dates within a billing plan.

Depending on the business transaction you are processing, the system will automatically
propose one of the two billing plan types.

Periodic billing
can be used, for example, for transaction involving rental contracts.
The contract data stored in the system can then be used as the basis for creating the billing
plan. The start and end dates define the duration of the billing plan.

The start and end dates define the duration of the billing plan. If possible, they are taken from
the contract data. You may decide not to set an end date (if the duration is unlimited). In this
case, new dates can be extended to the horizon (the horizon specifies the number of
settlement periods that are set in the billing plan).

You can use the billing dates on determine when and how often billing is carried out, for
example, on the first day or the last day of every month.

You can enter as many dates per billing plan as you require.

Billing plan dates can be blocked for billing. When you create a billing document, the system
updates the status of the billing plan dates. Dates that have already been billed can no longer
be changed in the billing plan.
