Display Billing Document
Application component: Contract Billing
App type: SAP GUI
Description:   The billing document display enables you to easily view all data belonging to a billing document. Each field in the document is displayed that does not appear on a bill (this includes internal fields, for example).  When a customer calls with an inquiry about a bill, you use the bill display and not the billing document display. An RTP analysis function is integrated into the display of billing documents. In an RTP billing, profile values are first grouped together according to certain rules that have already been defined in the RTP interface. Then the combined values in the schema of IS-U Billing, are valuated with a price. If the document is an RTP billing document, you can use the RTP analysis function to find out which are the incoming values in billing. 
Key features:   If you call up the function directly, you must first select a billing document. If you do not select an individual billing document, you receive a list of billing documents from which you can select the document you wish to display.  Document Line Items and Document Header Data   The billing document display is divided into two central views:  Display of the individual line items Display of the document header data  If discount or conversion information is available for an individual line item, you can display this information in a further dialog box. Similarly, an invoicing history can be displayed for the document header data. In addition, a compressed view of all line items can be displayed in a list form, from which you can select individual items. RTP Analysis   If the document is an RTP billing document, a further tab page titled RTP analys. is automatically displayed in the work area.  Activities   Choose an RTP billing document that you want to analyze.  The RTP analys. tab page is displayed in the work area.  Double-click on the RTP inter. field. You branch to the RTP interface, in which the rules for the billing of the selected document have been defined.  If you branch from Billing Analysis transaction to the billing document display, the system automatically starts the analysis. In this case, do not choose Start analysis again.  In all other cases choose Start analysis .  The analysis takes a while because the system analyzes all the profile values in the billing period. For example, a 15 minute reading of approximately 4000 profile values for a one month billing period. The Input Parameters , Output Parameters and Result Parameters tab pages are first completed when the analysis is over. After the analysis, all input, output and result parameters for the RTP interface are displayed.   Input Parameters tab page  The values of the individual input parameters are the values that were actually received for the duration in the RTP formula. These values can come from different profiles according to the definition of the RTP interface. Output Parameters tab page  The values of the output parameters correspond to the values that the RTP formula has calculated. You can see which values were received for the respective interval time points in the calculation, and which result parameters they are allocated to. Result Parameters tab page   The values of the result parameters result from the total of the values of the output parameters. The total of these result parameter values enters billing. Each of these tab pages contains the tab pages Overview and Graphic .   All parameters are displayed in the Overview tab page. If you click on a parameter number, the individual values of this parameter for the different interval times, are listed in the lower half of the tab page in table form. You can perform different calculations for these values, such as total, average or determine the minimum or maximum value.  You can display the respective parameters in graphical form, in which you choose the Graphic tab page.   You can, for example, display the values of all parameters or the value of a single parameter, in which you choose Single Values .  You can change the period that is to be displayed, in which you choose Zoom in or Zoom out . Another option is to use the mouse to display the period that you want to display, after you have selected either Zoom in or Zoom out once. Position the cursor on the date line and select the required period.
