Dynamic Period Control

Dynamic period control (DPC) allows flexible billing periods and advance or back billing. It manages correction and periodic billing periods. DPC executes billing for simulated periods to generate extrapolated billing information. The user can choose to correct whole periods or just partial periods. DPC requires configuring billing schemas, rate categories, and installations for dynamic period control and estimation of meter readings in billing. Variant programs execute dynamic backbilling for different document periods.

- 2. AGENDA Definition Need Concept Prerequisites Customizing Execution
- 3. DEFINITION Dynamic period control (DPC) allows you to manage any number of correction and periodic billing periods.
- 4. NEED Dynamic period control allows flexible billing in deregulated scenarios Execute advance billing, which can also be backbilled. Use a simulated period to generate extrapolated, posting- relevant billing lines, or info lines in the billing document. You can also choose whether you want the whole correction period or just the individual, partial correction periods to be corrected.
- 5. CONCEPT
- 6. PREREQUISITES Basic Categories of Dynamic Period Control table (BASDYPERASS)
- 7. • Determination of current periods via meter reading results • Estimation of meter reading results in billing This basic ensures that estimated meter reading results are extrapolated during billing and are not saved in the meter reading document table
- 8. Category of the Current Billing Period table (TE655).
- 9. Basic period categories The periods to create are determined during dynamic period control.The basic period category determines how these periods are created.
- 10. Time Slice Generator. It determines the periods for which the schema step is set up, dependent on the category of the current billing period. SAP provides 0000 as the default value.
- 11. Schema step will be set up for different periods, depending on the category of the current periodic billing period.
- 12. We have to assign the periods to set up for this standard value in the table of periods to set up for our schema.
- 13. Backbilling group defines the schema steps for which the bill line items from the correction periods are cancelled, and which schema steps are executed again in the correction periods.
- 14. CUSTOMIZING Schema Structure In the billing schema header data, specify that you want the selected schema to be used for dynamic period control
- 15. Select the schema steps to be dynamically backbilled.Allocate a dynamic backbilling group to the schema steps. This creates a unit for dynamic backbilling.
- 16. Rate Category Specify whether the system executes billing with dynamic period control. In the Dyn. Per. Control field, you enter a value for dynamic period control
- 17. Installation Allocate a rate category with the DPC basic category estimation of meter reading results in billing to an installation, or Determination of current periods via meter reading results If you use DPC with the basic category determination of current periods via meter reading results, you do not have to make any extra settings in scheduling.
- 18. Scheduling Billing Allocate a meter reading unit in which the Estim. in Bill. field is selected for billing with the scheduled meter reading category Automatic Estimation. The billing order is given the status Billable; the value Billing Estimates Value from Meter Reading Unit (01) is entered in the Estimated in Billing field.
- 19. EXECUTING DPC Can use variant programs to execute dynamic backbilling. DYNBI01 executes dynamic backbilling back to the last real meter reading result DYNBI02 dynamically backbills the schema steps from the previous document DYNBI03 dynamically backbills schema steps from the last dynamic backbilling. DYNBI04 updates amounts from the correction periods in the billing period.
