Inter-company resource related billing

Added by Guest, last edited by Judy Zhang on Nov 26, 2014

Purpose
This wiki describes how the project expenditures (time and T&L) of employees from different company codes can be invoiced to the leading company code of the project, using Inter-company Resource
Related Billing and Inter-company invoicing functionalities.

Overview
A project is carried out by a leading company code, which is responsible for the project from the customer perspective. The leading company code invoices the customer and follows the P&L of the
project. Employees from other company codes of the same group work on the same project and post some T&L expenditures. The purpose of this scenario is to show how the expenditures of these
employees can be posted on the project, and invoiced to the leading (requesting) company code, on the basis of actual costs.

Master data preparation

Create intra group customer for requesting company code in the supplying company code.
Create intra group vendor for supplying company code in the requesting company code.

Configure DIP profile

The purpose of the DIP (Dynamic Items Processor) profile, transaction code ODP1, is to create a billing request, on the basis of planned or actual costs posted on the project. In our scenario, the source
has to be "Inter-company - Line items", in order to select only inter-company costs.
The usage is "1 Billing and result analysis".
In "Characteristics", the "Object Number of Original Object" has to be flagged.

Configure inter-company invoice

The purpose of this step is to create an inter-company invoice, on the sales organization of the supplying company code. The bill-to is the internal customer number assigned to the requester company
code. The inter-company invoice is created with reference to the debit note request, generated from DP93 transaction. The output type RD04 enables to create an INVOIC idoc which will post
automatically the invoice receipt in the books of the requester company code.

SD intercompany customizing (IMG /Sales & Distribution /Billing/Intercompany billing):

Define order type for intercompany billing
Assign organizational unit by plant
Define internal customer number by sales organization
Automatic posting to vendor account (SAP EDI)
FI configuration for posting of invoice receipt:
Transaction OBCA : assign requesting company code to vendor number of the supplying company code, with partner type LI (vendor).
Transaction OBCB: enter the goods/service number. The character * can be entered by default.
Transaction OBCD : determine the tax rate and tax code for each combination vendor/tax type/country (=country where the service is rendered).
Transaction OBCE: provide indicators for the transfer (such as posting keys, tax calculation...).
IDOC configuration (cf SAP note 31126)
Transaction code WE20
Create partner profile for vendor (supplying company code) with message type INVOIC, message variant FI; define inbound parameters
Create partner profile for customer (requesting company code) with message type INVOIC, message variant FI; message type INVOIC01, define outbound parameters; assign IDOC basic
type.

Create intercompany sales order

An open intercompany sales order is needed as reference for further debit requests creation.
This intercompany sales order has to be created in the sales organization of the supplying company code. The customer is internal customer number assigned to the requesting company code.
In the requirement class, the account assignment category has to be "E". Otherwise, you get the error message "Sales and distribution document item is not account assigned to itself" (see SAP note
1343813).

Launch resource related billing between company codes

Transaction code DP93. Enter the open intercompany sales order as a parameter.

Check costs and sales price determination

EK01 condition type needs to be assigned to the pricing procedure of the sales order in order to collect actual costs. EK01 condition also needs to be assigned to the sales document type in transaction
ODP4.
The intercompany price can be calculated by applying a mark up on EK01, or can be determined from pricing access sequence.

Create intercompany invoice

The intercompany debit note is created with reference to the debit note request.

Create internal invoice receipt

The internal invoice receipt is created by EDI, triggered from output type RD04 in the intercompany invoice.

Just wanted to say thanks for this document. Great detail and tips within it. Found it useful in confirming what I had done, and getting me through a couple of small items I could not figure out.
Regards,
Jason
