_ISUBFPS_000004 - Generate Schedule Records

Schedule records are generated on the basis of schedule master records for the portion and for the meter reading unit. Note that you cannot generate schedule records before the date specified in the portion. When you generate the schedule records you enter a period, and the actual dates for meter reading and billing are generated for that period on the basis of the master records (portion/meter reading unit).

If you have entered budget billing cycles in the portion, the dates for the budget billing amounts are also generated.

Generation of schedule records for portion and meter reading unit in relation to the previous examples for parameter record, portion and meter reading unit:

• Date from 01/01/1998

• Date to 12/31/1999

Two scheduled billing dates are generated for the portion:

• 12/31/1998

• 12/31/1999

These have the following due dates for the budget billing amounts:

Two dates are generated for the meter reading unit:

• 12/10/1998 (scheduled reading date)

• 12/10/1999 (scheduled reading date)

You have maintained the period keys. To do this, choose:

Financial Accouting -> Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable -> Basic Functions -> Postings and Documents -> Document -> Maintain Document Assignments -> Define Period Keys

Generate the schedule records.

Maintenance of the period key is optional. You can use the period key to enter a text for the individual budget billing amount due dates. This text is printed on a form for the customer. SAP recommends the following procedure for using the period keys:

1. Generate the first schedule record of the portion only.
2. Maintain the period key for this schedule record.
3. Generate the remaining schedule records. When you do this, make sure that you do not generate the first schedule record again.

When the next schedule records are generated, this key is then generated automatically.

In the system table TE633 System Parameters for Budget Billing the Copy infotext indicator must be set.

You can define the control parameters for the budget billing amount by choosing Utilities Industry -> Invoicing -> Budget Billing Plan -> Define Control Parameters for Budget Billing Amount.
