Documentation

Definition

Specifies for each billing plan date how the value to be billed is determined.

Example

  1. Billing plan for a rental contract for a piece of machinery
    • Billing dates: First of the month for 12 months
    • Billing amount: 1000 USD per month

Each date requires a billing rule which determines this fixed amount as the amount to be billed.

  1. Billing plan for the installation of a turbine at a customer location
    • Billing dates: Date delivered 10%
      • Date installed 30%
      Date turbine goes productive 70%
      Final invoice
    • Billing amount: 10,000 USD for entire project

Each date requires a billing rule which determines a percentage of the overall billing value of the project as the amount to be billed.

Note

In the second example, the billing values for each date could equally be fixed partial amounts rather than percentages. For example:

  • Billing dates: Date delivered 1,000 USD
    • Date installed 3,000 USD
    Date turbine goes productive 6,000 USD
    Billing amount 10,000 USD

Definition

specifies for each billing or invoicing plan date, how the amount is determined and whether the billing or invoicing plan date is relevant to calculation. Down payment dates are not calculation-relevant.

The system includes the billing rule or invoicing rule from the date category in the billing or invoicing plan as a default value.

The date category is assigned to the billing or invoicing plan type.

Further notes

Periodical billing is not supported in the billing or invoicing plan.

      • Installations date 30%

  • Billing plan dates: Date for delivery 1000 DM

    Date for start-up 6000 DM
    Billing amount 10000 DM
