In this section, we delve into three apps within SAP Self-Billing Cockpit that enable you to analyze price, quantity, and tax deviations across transmissions. These apps serve as a one-stop shop for managing deviations, offering intuitive and analytical capabilities for both self-billing with automated posting, and self-billing with invoice creation.
By using these apps, users can increase control by approving deviations and rerunning simulations directly from the application, contributing to a more efficient self-billing process. The features of the apps allow users to manage deviations seamlessly, both for price, quantity, and tax amounts, enabling suppliers to actively participate in the self-billing process.
With the Manage Price Deviations app, you can analyze price deviations across multiple transactions. You can use graphical representation, filtering options, and more to analyze the gathered data. This way, you can track price deviations per delivery item easily even if you have received several self-billing transmissions referencing a certain item.
This app comes with useful features such as:
With the Manage Quantity Deviations app, you can manage quantity deviations between billing documents and self-billing documents in the SAP Self-Billing Cockpit. Just like the Manage Price Deviations app, it offers a similar look-and-feel, making it easy to navigate and use its features.
The app allows you to display self-billing documents with quantity deviations. The ability to filter self-billing documents by different fields, such as processing type (for invoice creation or automatic posting), external delivery note, outbound delivery, and approval status, lets you efficiently manage and review quantity deviations. This app enables you to display detailed information about all self-billing documents with quantity deviations, including the transmitted quantity-related data and quantity-related deviations in net value. Also, you can access details about the items in self-billing documents with quantity deviations, allowing for a comprehensive overview of quantity-related deviations in net value for each item. Approving quantity deviations for items in a self-billing document is a seamless process with this app. After relevant checks and confirmations, you can easily approve quantity deviations. It's important to note that if no quantity deviations exist, all items are automatically approved for the self-billing document.
For further analysis outside the system, the Manage Quantity Deviations app supports the export of data to spreadsheet format.
With the Manage Tax Deviations app, you can efficiently manage tax deviations between billing documents and self-billing documents in the SAP Self-Billing Cockpit.
You can use this app to display self-billing documents with tax deviations and filter them based on processing type, external delivery note, outbound delivery, and approval status. With these filtering options and the graphical representation of the deviation data you can effectively manage and review tax deviations. If more information is required, you can display details about all the self-billing documents with tax deviations. You can, for example, check for each data point the tax amount deviations, referenced and transmitted tax rates, customer VAT ID, supplier VAT ID, and other transmitted tax-related data.
Like in the Manage Price Deviations and the Manage Quantity Deviations apps you can easily approve tax deviations after you have done checks and confirmations based on the report. This approval indicates that the deviation has been checked and no further action is required regarding this item. Furthermore, it is possible for the user to add comments to this deviation so you can easily track later why a deviation was approved. It's important to note that if no tax deviations exist, all items are automatically approved.
For further analysis outside the system, the Manage Tax Deviations app supports the export of data to spreadsheet format.
SAP Self-Billing Cockpit offers embedded analytics capabilities that enables you to monitor your license relevant usage of the solution, which is metered by the number of self-billing document line items received and created in the solution.
To easily track your license relevant usage of SAP Self-Billing Cockpit, the solution offers the analytical app, License-Relevant Usage. This app allows you to create a usage report for self-billing document items stored in your SAP Self-Billing Cockpit system.
To fulfill license compliance, view, analyze, and download reports at your convenience by using the License-Relevant Usage app. It gives you a holistic view of the usage on a monthly basis. Here, items stored in the system refer not only to items that are received, created, and saved recently, but also items that were processed and saved earlier.
The key features of the app, License-Relevant Usage, are:
