Historical AUSGRUP for billing

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

I'd like to know if there's a way to use the AUSGRUP depending on billing period.

Actually we check values for the outsorting depending without relationship to the billing period, but - for our purpose - those value can change during time.

Have you got any idea or notes for that?

Thanks,

Hi,

I didn't understand what particular kind of use do you have in mind - like dinamically change/override the whole group during billing? Or use the billing periode within an outsorting check function? The latter should already be possible - a custom outsorting function module receives from billing rintime

XY_OBJ of type ISU2A_BILLING_DATA, which also contains billing period(s). The former could only be possible via adding custom logic to FM ISU_BILL_OUTSORT (or FORM outsort of INCLUDE LEA01F04) via an implicit enhancement, I believe.

Was this not too much technical mumbo-jumbo?

Hi Janis,

the purpose is to give the chance to dinamically set "limits" for outsorting.

For example:

in year 2011 we have that the maximum amount for a billing document could be 1000€ and we have Billing Ousorting group AMOUNT1.

in year 2012, the limit is 1200€ and we have the same group for the same rate category.

I'd like to manage the different billing period (consider adjustments or re-calculation) with the different limits.

I thought that i could use a custom table - with ab/bis and limits and modify the actual groups to manage it, but I'd like to know if there's some "standard" way.

Thanks,

Hi,

No, the outsorting customizing in standard is not time dependent, so that would require custom setup.

Fabio:

No fields in the contract are time-sliced or historically managed since the contract itself is time-sliced.  The most standard solution it to configure and transport changes to the outsorting settings when changes are required.
