In this blog, you’re going to read about the new configuration capability for billing plan types that can be used for service contracts in SAP S/4HANA Cloud. Previously, those configuration fields were display only. You can also learn from this blog how to configure the setting step by step.
As we explained in the previous blog How Periodic Billing Plan is Generated for Service Contract Items, the periodic billing plan is pre-configured by SAP as follows:
Days in Month | 30 |
Days in Year | 360 |
These settings work with the Monthly Fee price condition pre-delivered by SAP as PSI1. They decide how the billing values are calculated in billing plans of service contracts. However, they are not suitable for some special cases:
As of SAP S/4HANA Cloud 2302.1, we offer you the new configuration capability so that a configuration expert can configure the days in month and days in year according to your business requirements.
For case 1, we suggest you change the settings “Days in Month” and “Days in Year” to empty.
For case 2, we suggest you change the setting “Days in Year” from 360 to 365.
To configure the days, a configuration expert can go to the corresponding configuration environment.

In this blog, we explained the business scenarios that two configuration settings "days in month" and "days in years" affect. With the new configuration capability as of SAP S/4HANA Cloud 2302.1, you can configure those settings for your service contract billing plans according to your own business requirements. We also recommended solutions to some already known cases. As usual, a step-by-step demonstration was provided at the end, explaining how to make the configuration settings in the system.
