Procedure

Enter a code which controls whether the billing date in the billing plan is a fixed date or whether it is based on an actual or planned milestone date.

Use

A milestone from an event in the corresponding network is assigned toeach billing date in the billing plan. If you enter a value other than 0 in this field, the planned or actual date from the milestone is adopted as the billing date. Changes made to the planned or actual date are automatically made to the billing date.

If you enter 0 here, the billing date is fixed.

Example

Project: Installation of turbine at customer location

Planned delivery date in the milestone - 06.30.95

First billing date in the billing plan: Delivery of turbine

Fixed date indicator: 1 (Planned/actual date from milestone)

The planned delivery date is changed to 07.01.95. However, the customer still wants to pay on the original billing date. Therefore, you would change the fixed date ID for the date to 0 (fixed date).

Note

You must enter a value in this field if you are using milestone billing.

Use

For milestone billing the system includes the invoicing or billing plan data from the milestones when creating items.

You can determine whether the invoicing or planning data is automatically adapted to the milestone deadlines or not.

Procedure

  • " " - no assignment to milestones possible
  • 0 - fixed deadline, no transfer from milestones

    When creating the item the system takes the deadline from the milestone. If the milestone deadline changes, the deadline will not fit in the invoicing or billing plan.

  • 1 - Planned/actual deadline from milestones

    When creating the item, the system transfers the deadline from the milestone. If the milestone deadline changes, the changed deadline is automatically transferred into the billing or invoicing plan.
