Trigger

Perform this procedure at month-end or on a schedule determined by your bureau.

Prerequisites

 ZPRJ billing requests exist and have WBS elements assigned to them
 WBS elements belong to capital projects that have a 'released' status
 Costs have been posted to the WBS projects

Menu Path

N/A

Transaction Code

Z_DP96

Helpful Hints

 R/O/C column in tables represents Required, Optional, or Conditional entry.

 If you know the service order number for which you want to create a single cost recovery
billing request, you can simply use transaction DP90.
 Z_DP96 is similar to transaction Z_DP97. However, the main difference is that Z_DP97
performs cost recovery against service orders, and Z_DP96 performs cost recovery against
capital projects. DP90 works with either service orders or projects, but allows you to create a
billing request only for a single selection instead of a range.

13. Click the Debit Memo Request field to view the billing request and/or remove billing
block(s).
Clicking on the Debit Memo Request will launch transaction VA03, Display RRB Billing
Request, which lets you view the billing request. From VA03 (Display mode) you can launch
VA02 (Change mode) to remove the billing block(s). Notice that the system-assigned number
for the debit memo request is the same as the billing request number.
If any negative costs or credits were posted to the project, a credit memo request would be
generated. You can click the document number to display the credit memo request, but
remember to never remove the billing block on a credit request - billing blocks must be
removed via SAP workflow, using the Adjustment Approval process.
