Definition
The Billing Method (Posting Method) is used to determine the accounting treatment that selected JVA processes allow expense postings. The Billing Method (Posting Method) can be assigned to the functions that control major JVA processes to select postings for inclusion in processing.
Billing Methods (Posting Methods) are defined at the company level during configuration, but they are assigned to control accounting entries at the venture level. Depending on your company's requirements, only one billing method (posting method) may be necessary. But you can define multiple posting methods in JVA configuration, use them as selection criteria to screen postings for different JVA processes, then assign them to specific ventures with the intention of excluding postings to those ventures from certain processes.
As delivered, the following major JVA processes are preconfigured with billing method (posting method) as a selection criterion for execution:
Operated(JVA function = CCOP) and non-operated(CCNP) cash calls
Regular(CUTB), intercompany(CUTI), and tax (TAXC, TAXE, TAXI) cutback
Because billing mehtod (posting method) is a preconfigured selection criterion for the JVA function that controls these processes, you must specify a billing method (posting method) as part of the posting rules for these processes. Expenses booked to ventures with the same posting method that is designated for the process will be included in execution of that process.
You may configure any additional functions for JVA processes so that billing method (posting method) is a selection criterion for including expenses in their execution. Of course, you must also specify the billing method (posting method) to be used as a selection criterion in the posting rules for that JVA process.
When you set it up in JVA Configuration, you may specify whether cash calls are allowed under a particular billing method (posting method). When you assign a billing method (posting method) to a venture, the billing method (posting method) will determine whether the venture partners will be subject to cash calls.
