PRS_ERP_CPILS1: Resource-Related Billing Using Service Attributes (New)

Use

As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0 (EA-APPL 605), business function Commercial Project Inception & Lean Staffing (PRS_ERP_CPILS1), you can use a cross-application enhancement concept for resource-related billing, using service attributes. The introduction of the work period adds enhanced capabilities to the billing of services.

The cross-application enhancement concept integrates service attributes over multiple units and multiple applications.

For example, you can introduce service attributes relevant to your business processes, and make them available across Cross-Application Time Sheet (CATS), Human Resources (HR), Controlling (CO), Sales and Distribution (SD), and Project System (PS). You can include these service attributes in the following processes:

  • Staff assignment to clients' engagements
  • Time entry in CATS
  • Transfer from CATS to CO
  • Resource-related billing
  • Detailed work in progress (WIP) reporting
  • Pricing in SD documents

In resource-related billing, the system consolidates the work and cost assigned to a project (Project System) and considers these values during the creation of an invoice. For example, if you record time for a client project, the resource-related billing (using service attributes) allows you to invoice this time to the client.

With the enhanced service attributes, you can introduce additional parameters across the process flow and the system manages the handling of these parameters. For example, when you introduce a parameter for billing (billableand nonbillable) at time recording, this parameter value gets forwarded to CO during the CATS-CO transfer. Optionally, this parameter is available in the dynamic item processor (DIP) profile, for use during invoice creation.

You can transfer this parameter value to sales and billing, to be used, for example, in the pricing procedure to determine the service price. In this scenario, you may need to determine the valid service charge for an invoice for the period (or date) the service is rendered. The time period in which the service is rendered (work period) may be used as a criterion to structure the invoice. This is an important characteristic in reporting.

Effects on Existing Data

Resource-related billing (using service attributes) enhances the existing resource-related billing. Adding customer fields in the existing resource-related billing process needs to be done individually in many places and may impact the performance of billing or the results analysis. In the existing resource-related billing, the customer-defined user fields are not exposed to other applications. In the enhanced resource-related billing, these user fields are carried over across applications.

You can make the Customizing settings related to service attributes in Customizing for SAP Professional Services (IS-PRS), under Service Attributes.
