Sequence of billing during Move out and subsequent Move in

Hi,

I have a question about how SAP handles MO-MI billing.

  • Let's say I have a monthly billed installation (1st to Last day of the month), which is linked to Business Partner 1, Contract Account 1.
  • Let's say the installation is billed till 30.04.2019.
  • If I do a MO on 15/05/2019 and a subsequent MI on 16/05/2019.

Will SAP allow me to billing 16/05/2019-31/05/2019? Provided I have all the MR and facts. But, without billing 01/05/2019-15/05/2019.

Please note that in this case, the CA & BP remain the same. Just the Contract changed.

I tried to do this actually in the system. I am restricted by inconsistent data and missing authorizations.

Any inputs will be very helpful.

Thanks

Joshua.

Hi,

Will SAP allow me to billing 16/05/2019-31/05/2019 - Yes

But, without billing 01/05/2019-15/05/2019 - You mean you do NOT want to bill this period? SAP will require you to carry out the whole billing process sequentially.

Hi Joshva,

When you do a MO, the MO date gets updated at contract level and the contract is closed. Now if you go to the contract account in CAA3, you will not see any active contract associated. When you do a subsequent move in at the same premise either for the same or a different BP, it creates a new contract and an associated contract account which is also new . So your statement that "Please note that in this case, the CA & BP remain the same. Just the Contract changed" is not correct technically".

Thanks,

Ajay
