HI,

Have a look at here http://help.sap.com/saphelp_rc10/helpdata/en/87/d6ca0440734eb9b1c62e2fbeb2220a/frameset.htm

End Bill. Per. (End of Billing Period)

Here you can determine the date when the portion is billed for the first time. This date is used as the base date for calculating the end of the billing periods or floating backbilling periods.

This date cannot come before the end of the meter reading period or the scheduled meter reading date of all allocated meter reading units.

All Date Billg (Billing Allocation Date)

This date enables you to statistically allocate billing. It is used during cross-contract billing to allocate billing orders and documents. The date is also copied to the billing order.

This date cannot come after the end of the billing period. The end of the billing period cannot come before the end of the meter reading period or the scheduled meter reading date of all allocated meter reading units.

If you use budget billing procedure 3 (payment plan) in your system and a payment plan has already been created for this portion, you can no longer change the allocation date.

Sch. Bill. Date (Scheduled Billing Date)

This date specifies the day the system starts billing contracts that belong to a portion. The factory calendar is used for this.

This date displays the point in time when a billing period is prepared. Billing orders that have the status billable after this date are not processed. The date, therefore, acts as the selection date for determining billable billing orders during mass and single billing.

Regards

GK.

Dear Shilpa,

I think this will help you, A detail about Portions,

1. When you create a portion, you can transfer existing values from another portion and use these as a template.

2. Dynamic Scheduling

When you create a portion, you must decide whether you want the portion and the corresponding meter reading units to be used for dynamic scheduling. Set this indicator if you want the portion to be used for dynamic scheduling.

3. End Bill. Per. (End of Billing Period)

Here you can determine the date when the portion is billed for the first time. This date is used as the base date for calculating the end of the billing periods or floating backbilling periods.

This date cannot come before the end of the meter reading period or the scheduled meter reading date of all allocated meter reading units.

4. All Date Billg (Billing Allocation Date)

This date enables you to statistically allocate billing. It is used during cross-contract billing to allocate billing orders and documents. The date is also copied to the billing order.

If you use budget billing procedure 3 (payment plan) in your system and a payment plan has already been created for this portion, you can no longer change the allocation date.

5. Sch. Bill. Date (Scheduled Billing Date)

This date specifies the day the system starts billing contracts that belong to a portion. The factory calendar is used for this.

This date displays the point in time when a billing period is prepared. Billing orders that have the status billableafter this date are not processed. The date, therefore, acts as the selection date for determining billable billing orders during mass and single billing.

6. Billing Class / Division Category

You can restrict how the portion is used by entering a billing class and a division category. You have the following options for this:

Restricted portion

In the meter reading unit, you can only use the constellations of billing class and division category that are entered in the portion. You can also not make any restrictions.

Portion not restricted

The meter reading unit can be restricted or unrestricted.
