_ISUBIBDRS_000069 - Information on Dynamic Period Control
Addresses (Business Address Services) Vendor Master (General Section)This documentation is copyright by SAP AG.
In this IMG activity, you make Customizing settings for dynamic period control at the following levels:
- Rate category (must be classified in the rate category header for dynamic period control)
- Schema (must be classified in the scheme header for dynamic period control)
- Schema step: The following information is defined here:
- The periods for which the schema step is set up
- Whether a schema step should be executed for these periods and/or whether the bill lines that were generated by this schema step in the former billing for this period are to be canceled
- In addition to this definition, you can control the execution and deletion of bill line items from schema steps by defining additional conditions in the schema setup design
To better understand the structure and completely display the Customizing settings, see the example schema for dynamic period control.
Basic categories for dynamic period control
Only one basic category exists at the present time. It is based on the interpretation of the meter reading types.
Actual meter readings of the register on-site are only performed over longer intervals. Because the billing period is shorter than this interval, billing has to be based on estimated meter readings in the interim.
T1 T2 T3 T4
|------------------|------------------|------------------|
Actual Estimate Estimate Actual
As long as the meter readings that trigger billing are estimated, the measured quantity is only billed preliminarily (time points T2 and T3). The entire period T1-T4 regarding the measured quantity is recalculated based on the actual meter reading result at time point T4. The two actual meter readings at the start and end of billing period T1-T4 enable better proration, which is advantageous in the case of price changes.
The following rules apply to this basic category:
- When billing is based on estimated meter readings (for time points T2 and T3), all meter reading results from the billing period are used.
- When billing is based on actual meter reading results (for time point T4), only the actual meter reading results from the billing period are used.
- When multiple registers have to be read for an installation, and a mixed case is involved (actual and estimated meter readings), the system proceeds as if only estimated meter reading results were available.
- The dynamic setup of periods in the past is always based on the current periodic billing period. No separate billing order that only dynamically calculates the past can be used (this is the case, for example, in the standard period-end billing).
- When a final billing, territory-transfer billing, contract change billing, or customer change billing is involved, the system proceeds as if only actual meter reading results were available.
Example schema with dynamic period control
The following restrictions apply to dynamic period control: It cannot be used together with:
- A budget billing procedure
- Rates with floating backbilling
- Rates with variants, apart from DYNBI04 and DYNBI05,in which the update type from the previous periods is used in the current period, or vice versa
- Base calculation procedure 03 (calculation of month-specific time portions, using intervals)
You can use the following enhancements to influence the program flow:
- EBIA0020 (change the current period for dynamic period control)
- EBIA0021 (change the billing period for dynamic period control)
In the future, we plan to enhance the options for dynamic period control. As a result, the Customizing may change in the future.
