Milestone Billing
SAP Milestone Billing Tutorial (Part 1)
Link project milestones to sales billing-plan dates so customer invoices become due when contractual project events are achieved.
A project manager marked a milestone complete to accelerate cash even though customer acceptance had not occurred. The invoice was disputed. The organization added evidence requirements before milestone confirmation.
Milestone Billing Integration Between PS and SD (Part 2)
Connect project milestones to sales billing plans so contractual invoices are triggered by governed project events without confusing billing timing with revenue recognition.
A project reached technical completion but the customer invoice did not become due because the relevant billing milestone was never confirmed. Correcting milestone completion updated the billing plan.
Milestone Billing Governance, Variations and Disputes (Part 3)
Govern complex milestone contracts with change orders, partial achievement, retention and dispute handling while keeping project, sales and finance status synchronized.
A construction contract allowed 90% billing at mechanical completion with 10% retention until final acceptance. Treating the milestone as 100% billable overstated receivables until retention logic was modeled correctly.
