Resource-related billing (RRB)

1 RRB process
1.1 Scenario:
We sell a product/service to a customer. In background we have a project, which is created to produce the material sold to the customer and the installation of this

material on the customer site.

We want to make resource related billing. On the bill, there should be three different types of items shown:

1. item for the material sold

2. item for the work costs which have been accumulated installing the material

3. item for other (additional) costs

To achieve this, we need different service materials which will be used by the system to reflect these items on the billing document. These service materials are

determined according to the settings in DIP profile.

1.2 Transactions
1.2.1 Customizing

ODP1 Definition DIP profile

ODP2 Consistency check for DIP profile

ODP2A Consistency check for DIP profile

ODP3 Definition of apportionment reasons

ODP4 Cost condition for sales document type

GS01 Definition of sets

GS02 Change Sets

1.2.2 Operative

DP90 Billing request; process individually (SD and CS orders)

DP91 Resource related Billing document (SD orders only)

DP95 Billing request; process collectively (SD and CS orders)

DP96 Billing request; process collectively (SD orders only); uses logical database from SD

DP97 Billing request; process collectively; uses logical database from PM

DP98 Resource item for billing request/credit memo request; from 470 onwards, Reporting transaction

DP99A Document flow for resource related billing document

DP99B Document flow for resource related billing document (enhanced selection screen); uses logical database from SD

DP99C Document flow for resource related billing document (Service order)

1.3 The service materials

The service materials are copied into the created SD document (billing request) and represent the items (cost, activity type) billed to the customer. You need to

define a material master for these materials to allow the system to use them in a sales document. Item category group should be ‘LEIS’. SD relevant views in
material master have to be maintained.

With resource related billing it is not possible to define a general sales price for service materials, which represent these items in the billing request. Even more so,
the price is a result of the incurred costs alone.

You have to decide between cost based billing and quantity based billing. The relevant customizing has to be done for the material determination.

Therefore, you cannot flag conditions for these types of prices (for example, PR00) as obligatory in the pricing procedure you use in pricing for the billing request.

To get the price for the service materials into the resulting SD document, you have to define a costing condition which is transferred from DP9* to the sales

document (billing request). The relevant customizing is done in transaction ODP4.

1.4 DIP profile

 The information about the DIP profile used within an SD-order is stored in table VBKD.

1.4.1 Using sets

As will be shown in chapter 1.4.3 the selection of the relevant information from the database can be influenced by using sets. Within sets you can define, what

selection criteria (range) is to be used to select the relevant information.

Sets can be defined within customizing using either the customizing transactions for the DIP profile, or by using TA GS01/GS02.

 Set with initial value

 Using this kind of set will select only data, where field LSTAR is not filled.
An initial line is created by choosing menu ‘Edit’ -> ‘Insert initial value’.

 Set with value

Using this kind of set will select all entries from the database, where the value for field LSTAR is within the given selection range.

 Set with ***All values***
