Billing indicators are assigned to postings to partners in JVA. They are used to identify specific types of billable expenses (e.g., cash call requests, normal expenditure, suspense posting), and they can be used to identify revenue postings to partners as well.
Billing indicators are used to organize different types of expenses on the partner's bill (invoice). That is, they are used to selectively access data from the JVA billing ledger (4B) to generate the invoice.
Example
Requirements
Standard settings
JVA is pre-configured with the standard billing indicators that are necessary to execute normal processing. This includes a complete set of indicators for the following processes:
- Cash call processing
- CI/NPI processing
- Suspense processing
It also includes billing indicators for audit and equity adjustments, tax postings, netting, and revenue postings as well as for regular expense postings and expense postings directly to partners.
You may choose to add your own billing indicators to represent different expenses, and you may want to add indicators for various CI penalty categories (See the discussion below under ExpT field).
Recommendation
Activities
In defining billing indicators, enter information in the following fields when appropriate:
In the Taxable field, enter an indicator if expenses posted with the billing indicator being defined will be subject to tax calculations.
In the Taxline field, enter an indicator if the billing indicator being defined will be used to post tax lines to partners.
In the RevId field, enter an indicator if the billing indicator being defined will be used to post revenues to partners.
In the CCPay field, enter an indicator if the billing indicator being defined will be used to post cash call payments from partners.
Generally, you will only require one billing indicator to post cash call payments, but you should consider the entire context of configuring your company for cash calls. The billing indicator clearing settings that you define in the next step of configuration and the setting for billing and operational month for the JVA company will also impact how cash call processing is executed for your company.
In the CNET field, enter an indicator if postings with the billing indicator being defined will be selected for inclusion in convenience netting processing (i.e., netting of all expense and revenue postings to a partner into one credit posting if there is a positive outstanding balance).
If you set Taxline or RevId on for the billing indicator, document lines with the billing indicator will be selected when convenience netting is executed. But you may add lines with other billing indicators as well (i.e., lines with expense billing indicators) to convenience netting selection by setting the CNET field on for the billing indicator.
In the ExpT field, enter the second character of the billing indicator if the billing indicator being defined will be used to post CI costs.
Billing indicators that will be assigned to CI postings have a special structure. The first character of the billing indicator must be a "P", and the second character must be the code for the CI penalty category defined previously for the company during JVA configuration (See CI Penalty Categories).
The CI billing indicator defined in this step will be used in the posting rule details for its corresponding function item of the JVA cutback function (See Posting Rules). This function item of cutback has the same code as its corresponding billing indicator, and the posting rule details for this function item assign the billing indicator for the penalty type to the posting resulting from Cutback processing.
Further notes
Revenues can be posted net to partners in JVA. Revenue billing indicators are pre-defined for this purpose. In addition, revenues are posted to CI partners in CI/NPI netting.
To have postings to a partner included in convenience netting (CNET) processing, the partner's JVA partner record must have CNET (i.e., C) active.
