Error while billing primary installation

Hello ,

We are trying to set up primary / secondary installation data model for the first time. We did config in SPRO (set up roles, group etc.) for exchange between primary and secondary installations.


We then created MROs both on primary and seondary installations, entered read on both. Further due to configuration maintained, MRO on secondary installation got created with sequence 1 which is correct.

When I try to bill primary installation, I get following error :

Simulation for rate category cannot be executed
Internal billing simulation for secondary inst.XXXXXX cancelled with error
Termination caused by error in processing secondary installation
Billing of contract XXXXX canceled

Detailed error log says :

----------------

You simulated billing for contract 3. During this simulation, rate category has to be replaced by rate category . In the simulation period that you selected, a rate category change exists for contract 3. Rate category is used in addition to rate category .

The simulation scenario does not support billing simulation with more than one rate category

-----------------------

There's no rate category change on any installation and I am not sure why this error is getting triggered. Can anyone please help?

Thanks,

AM

Update : The error was resolved by doing some config change in SPRO to set up simulation environment.

However, we are still struggling with finding out what rate changes need to be done to implement it. We used UTILIT96 to distribute consumption but cannot figure out how consumption distributed will be read in schema when secondary installation is billed.

For this you really have to play with the set-up and generate billing without errors and check the billing line items. It entirely depends on your Billing Master Data configs.
