In this IMG activity you define rates. A rate consists of a key, header data, and one or more rate steps (variant programs).

Maintain the following areas in the rate header:

  • Permissibility
  • Register-related data (only required if the rate refers to a register)

First, branch to the rate steps. Here you must identify the required variant programs. Perform the following steps:

  • Select the required variant program
  • Maintain the relevant sub-transactions for billing. You must specify sub-transactions for all variant programs that generate billing line items relevant to posting. The sub-transaction and main transaction (determined internally) are used to find the receivables account and the sales revenue account. Here you can post to different accounts for each rate step. You can also post all rate steps (for example, energy price, demand price, rental price) to the same accounts using different sub-transactions.

    In these cases, the different sub-transactions enable a differentiation in the sales statistics. We therefore recommend that you group the rate steps according to different sub-transactions. You can display an overview of account determination from the rate by choosing: Goto -> Overviews -> Acct determination.

  • Maintain the relevant sub-transactions for the budget billing requests or the budget billing repayment requests. Here you can define how detailed the display of the open item lines is in the budget billing plan. A differentiated examination is not recommended because of the high volume of data. Therefore, all rate steps should refer to the same sub-transactions. An exception is when a certain part of the budget billing (for example, duties, CO2 tax) is to be booked to other accounts. In this case, you must use a different sub-transaction.
  • Enter the input and output operands that are required for the variant program. You can also create an operand directly from this transaction. To do this, enter the name of the operand. Then double-click the operand name.
  • For certain variant programs, you must specify a period control value. Period control is used in calculating the length of periods to be billed.
  • You must maintain control parameters for certain variant programs. For example, variant program QUANTI01 asks you whether info lines are to be written. Since the device number can only be printed from the info lines, we recommend that you select this parameter.
  • If rate steps are to be performed in one season only, you must specify that season here.
  • You are only required to enter a franchise fee group if a franchise fee is to be calculated for the rate step.
  • You must allocate line item types to the rate step in order to print the bill. These line item types can be retrieved during bill printout in order to print corresponding texts.

You must provide values for the input operands in the rate facts. You can define rate facts for each rate fact group.

Example

Requirements

The following data must already be maintained:

  • Validation classes for independent validations
    To maintain validation classes, go to: Utilities Industry -> Device Management -> Meter Reading -> Validations -> Independent Validations -> Define Validation Classes.
  • Franchise fee group (optional)
    To maintain franchise fee groups, go to: Utilities Industry -> Contract Billing -> Special Functions -> Franchise Contract -> Define Franchise Fee Groups.
  • Operands
  • Sub-transactions for billing
    To maintain sub-transactions, go to: Financial Accounting -> Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable -> Basic Functions -> Postings and Documents -> Document -> Document Assignment Maintenance -> Sub-transactions for IS-U/IS-T Maintenance.
  • Sub-transactions for budget billing request or budget billing repayment request
    To maintain sub-transactions, go to: Financial Accounting -> Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable -> Basic Functions -> Postings and Documents -> Document -> Document Assignment Maintenance -> Sub-transactions for IS-U/IS-T Maintenance.
  • Prices

Standard settings

Recommendation

SAP recommends that you structure and standardize the rate key beforehand.

Activities

Define the required rates in the system.

Further notes

If you wish to make settings for nonresidential customers using backbilling or period-end billing, please read the following documentation first: Define Schemas and Structure of a billing schema with backbilling.

If you wish to use consumption histories/bill printout histories, please read the following documentation: Bill printout history.

If you wish to model maximum price limitation and best-rate billing, please read this documentation.

If you wish to model register relationships (for example, serial switching) in billing, please read this documentation.
