Including Late payment charge in Rate steps?!.

[Former Member]

Hi SAP Gurus,

We need to apply a new incentive, i.e Load factor incentive(LFI), I have successfully created the rate, but could not map how to include LPC to the rate steps.?  there are only 2 condition for applicability,

1. Consumer should not have late payment charge in the invoice.(cannot map in the rate step)

2. billing demand should not be greater than contract demand.(added in the rate step)

This issue is high in priority.

Thanks in advance

Hi Shilpa,

Please clarify one thing.

Are you charging the consumer if maximum demand is greater than the contract demand ?

Rajesh,

No, it is applicable only when billing demand is more than 75% of Contract demand, then the  0.75% on total energy charges will be an incentive. and when Bill demand is greater than contract demand then the incentive should not be applied.

Hope this will give you a clear picture.

Thanks

LPC calculation and posting generally has nothing to do with the rate/billing.  It is usually posted well after the invoice is generated and is determined using time/rate and/or a flat charge is posted.

William,

Thanks for your inputs i knew that, let me explain you in detail, i have design a rate HT_LFI, and updated in existing schema with a rate determination from 01.06.2012 to 31.12.9999.

what will be the condition if i say this rate will be applicable only if the consumer had payed the bill before Due date. If the consumer delayed the payment this rate should not be executed. Hope this explanation help.

Shilpa,

There is no such standard configuration to control the rate execution based on LPC calculation. Your requirement can be met by creating a custom variant to identify the delayed payments.

Create a new variant to get the delayed payments and open items. You can use FM 'ISU_INV_OPEN_ITEM_SELECT' for your requirement. you will get all the open items in internal table XY_WA_IIU-T_OPEN_ITEM.

Now delete all items from table XY_WA_IIU-T_OPEN_ITEM , which are not overdue based on date of invoice or which are already paid.

LOOP AT XY_WA_IIU-T_OPEN_ITEM WHERE FAEDN GE BLDAT OR
                     NOT AUGBL IS INITIAL.

     DELETE XY_WA_IIU-T_OPEN_ITEM INDEX SY-TABIX.

ENDLOOP.

If the internal table XY_WA_IIU-T_OPEN_ITEM contains any entries, consumer will be charged with LPC and HT_LFI rate steps will not be executed. Else HT_LFI rate will be executed and consumer will get the incentive.

Hope it gives a rough idea.

Rajesh

Hi Shilpa,

As per the LPC is concerned you have the localization means there will be a  separate node in IMG.

Or ELSE you have to activate the event R999,R971,R979,R970.

I think this will help you.
