Procedure

If you want to use this billing type to bill services which are performed over a specified time period in advance, enter a billing type for the accruals billing documents. These are required for the revenue account postings which are made over the specified time period.

Use

By making an entry in this field, you determine that billing documents of the type defined in the billing type field are not directly posted to a revenue account but rather to an accruals account. Each month, the system posts accruals billing documents for partial amounts from the accruals account to a revenue account.

Example

Billing type: FAA

Accruals billing type: AF

At the beginning of the year, you bill a customer in advance for 1200USD for the maintenance over the entire year of the machinery he or she has hired from you. Billing type FAA is used. Receivables of 1200USD are posted for the customer. 1200USD is posted to the accruals account. Monthly revenue postings are then made using accruals billing documents of the type AF.
