In this IMG activity, you define the billing rate.

To bill EDRs, you need at least one billing rate. Oftentimes it can be useful to define more than one billing rate. We recommend the following approach:

  • Use one billing rate only for one specific EDR type. If you use different EDR types, we recommend that you also define several billing rates.
  • Use rates only for billing account items of a specific billing account item type. If you use different billing account item types, we recommend that you also define several billing rates.
For each billing rate, you need to define one or more billing rate item(s). Usually, one item is sufficient. We recommend that you have several items if you want to create multiple billing document items with different properties from the EDRs of a billing account item.

Example

  1. You define a billing account item to bill the trips of a vehicle, which are subject to tolls.
  2. You define a rate that the EDRs associated with the billing account item are to bill.
  3. The amounts for trips on a business day are to be shown separately from those on Sundays and public holidays on the invoice. You thus define two rate items with different operands.
  4. In the IMG activity Assign EDR to Operand , you define an assignment of the EDRs to operands for the rate. You use a customer-specific field to assign EDRs from business-day trips to an operand different than that to which EDRs from Sunday trips are assigned.
  5. When the rate is executed, the system aggregates EDRs from business-day trips and EDRs from Sunday trips separately. Two billing document items are generated. By selecting the main transactions and subtransactions, you can post the receivables and sales revenues to different accounts.

To be able to offset amounts earmarked in Invoicing and Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable, you need a billing rate that contains controls for the

Offsetting in Invoicing function. You define these controls in the Controls for Offsetting in Invoicing activity. You then assign them a billing rate time at transaction level.

Example for Offsetting in Invoicing (Prepayment)

  1. You define a billing account item to bill prepaid top-ups.
  2. These top-ups relate to specific business transactions for a determined billing object, billing account, or period (Note: Other examples for such scenarios are budget billings).
  3. For this purpose, you define two controls in the Controls for Offsetting in Invoicing activity. One control ("PREPAY_R") refers to the top-up and the second ("PREPAY_O") refers to the receivables, or the use.
  4. As top-ups are payments, and therefore a different EDR category (AMOUNT), you define a billing account with two billing account items.
  5. According to the above recommendation regarding the relationship of billing rates to billing account items, you define two separate billing rates for the business transactions (top-up and use) (Note: See billing rates PREPAY and PREPAY_USE in the reference client).
  6. When billing the prepaid top-ups, invoicing marks the top-up amount and offsets it against subsequent use.

  1. To create a new billing rate, enter a short description that identifies the rate. If you want to use the rate to bill EDRs, you need to select the billing category EDR-Based Billing.
  2. In addition to the new billing rate, define the billing rate items. The billing rate items determine which billing rules are executed and in which sequence. For each billing rate item, maintain a subtransaction and a billing rule that is to applied. If you specify billing rule 'EDR01', you need to specify an operand of the category 'EDR' for the billing rate item.

You define a billing rate TCUSE for toll billing. The billing category is EDR-Based Billing, since usage-dependent billing is performed based on EDRs. A billing rate item with a subtransaction and a billing rule EDR01 exists for this billing rate. This billing rule aggregates the amounts of all of the EDRs that are assigned to it.
