3552500 - How to bill usage-based billing items assigned to service-based work packages

Symptom

In app "Manage Project Billing", field "To Bill" is 0 for the usage-based billing item assigned to service-based work packages.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Create a customer project in the "Plan Customer Project" app
  2. Create service-based work package and assign resource
  3. Assign usage-based billing to the service-based work package under Billing tab 
  4. Set the project stage to "In Execution"
  5. Timesheet entries filled and approved for the assigned resource
  6. Run "Manage Project Billing" app
  7. The "To Bill" amount for that usage-based billing element is 0, after clicking Prepare Billing, there is no line item

Cause

The project billing for contract "Usage-Based" is to capture service units posted against the usage-based billing items.

The role or time planning for unit-based work package is calculated for the cost, but is non-billable by default. 

Resolution

Follow the procedures in Section 4.7 Capture Service Units of J11 test script to create activity allocation in the "Manage Direct Activity Allocation" app first, then prepare billing in "Manage Project Billing" app.

The timesheet posting for the resource efforts is non-billable. This is the expected behaviour. The column "Billing Control Category" can be selected in Settings under Work Package tab to display it in the table.
