Billing and Invoicing


Import billing accountsand event detail records

? Import billing accounts from external systems: extract business partner items indelta mode, dunning history in delta mode, and SAP NetWeaver BI content basedon business partner items and dunning history. Import event detail records fromexternal systems: import EDRs that are created in a rating system and processEDRs according to various categories. A comprehensive enhancement conceptsupports definition of project-specific EDR categories.

? Operative employee

Creation of billing ordersand billing documents

? Billing cycles, such as monthly on the 15th day of the month, can be used. Billingorders are generated and processed by the billing process. When a billing accountis billed, a billing period is created, which defines which EDRs are to be billed.Billing in FI-CA also supports the billing of non-EDR-based invoice component.When a billing account is billed, a billing period is created, which defines whichEDRs are to be billed. Billing in FI-CA also supports the billing of non-EDR-basedinvoice components, such as a basic charge of a service charge. Billingdocuments are forwarded to the invoicing process.

? Operative employee

Benefits

? This business function enables the connection of billing, invoicing, and contract accounts for customers outside of traditional industries. Bill calculationenables you to receive and bill process-priced transactions (event detail records) with good performance.

Enablement of Event Detail Records (EDR) Billing and Convergent Invoicing with FI-CAX



Value retrospectivetimesheet changes atprior-year rates

? Federal agencies allow timesheet corrections in the 13 months preceding thedocument date. If a retrospective change is made to the number of hours worked,the rate selected for the associated activity allocation should not be the activityrate valid at the time of posting, but the activity rate valid on the key date for thechange. Where complex funding sources with multiple funding types and varyingexpiration timeframes are in place, the funding should also be updated based onthe prior-period account adjustments. Follow-on functions, such as overheadcalculation, should also be based on the values used for time recording.

? Timesheet managers andcost accountants who needto make retrospectivecorrections

Benefits

? Allows organizations with multiple sources of funding to report funds usage correctly when timesheet corrections are required outside of the currentperiod. Allows the activity rates and overhead rates to be read on the valuation date (prior-year rate) rather than the current calendar period, so thatcosts corrected following a timesheet adjustment are properly stated. Also allows realtime calculation of overhead costs rather than treating thiscalculation as part of the period close process.
