Rebilling of ordered items via customer project

[maik1860]

Hi Guys

I need your help! Can someone explain how it is possible to recharge services or materials to a customer based on a supplier invoice that was assigned to a customer project?

I have assigned the purchase order—and thus the supplier invoice—to the relevant WBS element, and I can also see the costs reflected in the project reporting. However, I am unable to recharge these costs to the customer.

Thank you in advance!

When you say "recharge to customer", what exactly are your requirements?

Hello @maik1860 ,

Thank you for the update — I’m glad to hear that my previous input was helpful. Regarding the issue where the amount is not recognised as revenue and therefore cannot be invoiced, I’ve reviewed the screenshot you provided. This error typically occurs when the cost element or account assignment isn’t correctly configured for revenue recognition within the billing process. Here are a few things you might consider check:

• Account Assignment – Ensure the supplier invoice is posted with a revenue-relevant account assignment.
• Cost Element Settings – Verify that the cost element is marked as relevant for billing and mapped correctly in the revenue recognition settings.
• Project Billing Profile – Confirm that the billing profile assigned to the project includes the appropriate settings for recognizing revenue from supplier invoices.
• Error Message Details – If possible, please share the exact text of the error message to help further narrow down the issue.

Let me know once you've reviewed these areas, or feel free to share more details if the problem persists. I’ll be happy to assist further.

Best regards,
Chuma

Hi Chuma,

Thank you very much for your input. It was already very helpful. I am now able to transfer the amount booked to the project from the supplier invoice into the billing process. However, it is not recognized as revenue and therefore cannot be invoiced. You can also see an error message on the screenshots. Do you  have any further tips for me? Many thanks in advance!

Hi Maik,

Great question—and yes, in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, it is possible to recharge supplier invoice costs to a customer project, but it requires the correct configuration and master data setup.

To recharge supplier invoice costs to a customer in S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, ensure the following:

• The project is a Commercial Project with billable WBS elements.
• The purchase order and supplier invoice are correctly assigned to the WBS element.
• The billing method (e.g., time & expenses) and billing profile are properly set up.
• The cost element used is configured as billable in the project billing profile.
• Use the "Project Billing – Prepare" and "Project Billing – Request" apps to create and process the billing.

If nothing appears billable, check the billing control settings, GL account mapping, and use "Review Billing Items" for diagnostics

Let me know if you need further support

Thank you and kind regards
