Programme SAP RHFAKT00 - Billing Business Events

Description
This report lets you bill business event attendees with attendancefees, in other words, it lets you generate invoices.
During this process, the attendee's address is taken from either thecustomer master record or, in the case of one-time customers, from theattendee data stored. The billing price is transferred to the Sales andDistribution component (SD).

Integration
You activate integration between Training and Event Management (PE) andSD for purposes of the billing transaction in Customizing for PE underBilling.
If you want to use the payment card functions, you must also maintainsettings in SD under Payment Cards.

Preconditions

  • Attendance must be flagged as relevant for billing.

  • Note:
    You make this assignment when you execute the function Book withFee. If you make no assignment here (and book attendance without feeassignment), the billing settings maintained for the attendee type inCustomizing under Specify Attendee Type Control apply.
    • The attendee's address must be available.

    • In the case of a one-time customer, address data is stored directlywith the attendee. SAP recommends that you use the attendee typeExternal person (H) for one-time customers since you arerequired to store address for attendees of this type.
      • The customer master record must exist in the sales
      • area of the business event.

        Output
        The report outputs a list of the selected attendees per business eventand the following information:

        • Business event

        • Attendee

        • Organizational assignment

        • Sold-to party

        • Bill-to party (for separate partner functions)

        • Attendance fee

        • Credit memo amount (where relevant)

        • Invoice number (if billing was already performed)

        • Credit memo number (if credit memo was already generated)

        • Card type (for billing with payment cards)

        • Validity end date of the payment card

        • You can perform billing from the list screen.
          If you select the attendee you want to bill and choose Createbilling document, the relevant billing data is transferred to SD.
          The following process flow takes place:
          The document items are validated.
          If the items are validated, a reference document is generated with thestatus transfer designated.
          The BAPI/ALE for the billing is called.
          The status of the reference document changes to transfer effected (yellow/amber light).
          Due to the fact that the systems may be decoupled (SD and PE indistributed systems), confirmation of this transaction is necessary toensure that the transaction has actually been executed.
          For this purpose, you must call the function Compare document.The system searches for the pertinent SD document.
          If it finds the original document, the status of the reference documentchanges to Transfer confirmed (green light).
          You can display the original document by choosing View ->Ref. <-> Original document.
          For more information on the procedure when the original document cannotbe found, refer to Error diagnosis.
