PS Internal Work Time Reporting

The scenario is about SAP Project System (PS) Internal Work Time Entries to be billed to the Customer.

A possible solution will be using a Sales Order (order type PS1 in ECC or user define order type with configuration for "RRB") for Resource Billing for the SD-PS integration using "(RRB) Resource -Related Billing":

1. Create Sales Order with an order item (for example, standard order or repair order) that is account assigned to a WBS element in a customer project.
2. The WBS element to be account assigned to the order item on the Account Assignment tab page.
3. Enter a Dynamic Item Processor profile (DIP profile) in the tab strip Sales B for the order item.
4. If you maintained the Dynamic Item Processor profile in a way so that the system takes the actual cost totals records as the source for the dynamic items.
5. The system sorts the dynamic items according to the SD order items and determines the price of the billing request using SD Pricing . In this way the SD Billing will be based on the DIP Items Actual Costs.
