Programme SAP RFKKBIXBITUPLOAD - Transfer of Billable Items from File

Purpose
You can use this report to load billable items from a file.

Prerequisites
The file is stored in one the following places:

  • On the DIR_HOME directory of the application server

  • On the local PC of the user

    • The file has the following format:
    • The first row contains the clients to which the data is to be uploaded,
      • and the billable item class (BITCAT).
      • All remaining rows contain, in the first column, the
        • record type (IT = main items, PY = payment dataitems, TX = tax items, TT = text attachments), followed by fields thatare to be uploaded to the corresponding record-type-dependentstructures.
        • The system does not process any rows that do not contain one of these
          • record types in their first column.
          • The character between the client and the class in the first row (4th
            • character) becomes the separator for the entire file.
            • A period is the expected decimal separator.

            • The system always expects amounts to have 2 decimal places. If the
              • currency of a transferred amount has a different number of decimalplaces, then you have to convert these amounts accordingly before thetransfer.
              Example with 5 decimal places
              6.12345 must be transferred as 6123.45.
              Example with 0 decimal places
              12345 must be transferred as 123.45.
              Then the system automatically displays and processes the amountscorrectly.
              The relevant structure is /1FE/1<(><<)>bitcat>0<(><<)>recordtype>API.Here <(><<)>bitcat> stands for the four-character billable item class.(See Customizing for Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable under
              Billing in Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable -> Billable ItemClasses -> Maintain Billable Item Classes.) <(><<)>recordtype> cancontain the following values:
              • IT for main items

              • PY for payment items

              • TX for tax items

              • TT for text attachments

                • You can use report RFKKBIXBITUPLOADSAMPLEFILE to create a sample file.
                Note:
                You specify the processing rules for billable items in Customizing forContract Accounts Receivable and Payable under Billing in ContractAccounts Receivable and Payable -> Billable Item Management ->Define Processing Rules and ProgramEnhancements.
