What are the prerequisites for resource-related billing?

The prerequisites for resource-related billing are a dynamic item processor (DIP) profile with the appropriate settings and an activity-account-assigned network that is assigned to a sales order item. Resource-related billing is a process that allows you to bill customer-specific services based on individual materials, internal activities, and costs. The prerequisites for resource-related billing are:

A dynamic item processor (DIP) profile with the appropriate settings: A DIP profile is a parameter that defines how billing requests are created from project data, such as activities, materials, PRTs, and so on. A DIP profile contains various settings, such as which data sources are used, how prices are determined, how quantities are calculated, and so on. You have to create and maintain DIP profiles in Customizing for Project System under Revenues and Earnings Integration with SD Documents Dynamic Item Processor .

An activity-account-assigned network that is assigned to a sales order item: An activity-account-assigned network is a network that has its activities assigned to different account assignments, such as cost centers, orders, or sales orders. An activity-account-assigned network that is assigned to a sales order item means that some or all of its activities are assigned to an item of an SD document (such as standard order) with controlling object. This enables costs and revenues to be updated in both the SD document and the controlling object.
