Explore end-to-end convergent invoicing in sap s/4hana brim, covering billable items, configuration of item class and management, billing plan, invoicing, posting, and showman sd integration with demos.
Learn how billable items drive convergent invoicing and how to search by status (raw to billed) and inspect record types (main item, payment data, tax, attachments).
Identify billable item fields such as status, reversal, exception history, source transaction types, item class, sub process, item type, dates, and amounts. Understand how fields drive configuration and billing workflows.
Explore operations on billable items, including change, transfer from raw to billable, accept, restore, reverse, and perform billing and invoicing with expert mode and configuration considerations.
Explore configuring billable item classes in convergent invoicing, using FICAimg to access CI nodes, understand interface components, structures by record type and status, and prerequisites for billable item classes.
Create B-level item classes ADRC and AD1C by copying or creating two, configure components such as basic data for billing, payment processing, taxes, attachments, then activate and generate interfaces.
Generate interfaces for the billable item class, and explore the resulting database views, tables, function groups, and modules created for each status and record type.
Define field derivation schema for billable items to auto populate fixed values such as profit center and internal tax calculation by configuring the record type and maintaining field values.
Define data storage settings for billable items by assigning table sets in a cyclic six-month schedule, distributing billed item data across 00–03 tables and simulating storage.
Configure which fields can be edited on billable items by selecting the billable item class, record type, and status, enabling edits to target date of billing and customer reference.
Define billable item types in SAP S/4HANA BRIM, creating five types: one-off bid, recurring bid, credit bid, debit bid, and discount bid, and assign them to subprocess in next configuration.
Link b-level item types to subprocesses and their classes to configure billable items, then create items using the correct subprocess and item type to avoid errors.
Configure posting document types in FICA by assigning number range 91 to document type YA, and distinguish numeric ranges for regular posting versus alphanumeric ranges for mass processing.
Create a billable item manually in SAP S/4HANA BRIM Convergent Invoicing, entering partner, contract, item class, dates, amount, and currency, then verify field derivations and transactions.
demonstrates creating billable items using an upload program in sap s/4hana brim convergent invoicing by downloading a template, configuring adrc items, and validating processing rules and derivation schemas.
configure reversal of billable items in SAP S/4HANA BRIM convergent invoicing, covering reversal authorization, reversal methods for billed items, and standard reversal reasons in the ad1s and adrs subprocesses.
Demonstrate testing billable item reversal in convergent invoicing, validating not invoiced and not billed rules and how reversal is allowed or not allowed per configuration.
Configure rules to determine bill from date for billable items using the baseline date or origin, and set calculation rules for fixed dates like the 5th.
Learn how to configure invoice date rules in convergent invoicing, selecting baseline dates from invoice requests or source documents, and set additional days to schedule invoicing after billing creation.
Welcome to this comprehensive course on SAP S/4HANA BRIM – Convergent Invoicing (CI). I have designed this course to provide a complete, end-to-end understanding of CI configuration along with its practical business applications.
To get the best learning experience from this course, learners are encouraged to have prior exposure to SAP BRIM. If you would like to strengthen your understanding before diving into Convergent Invoicing, I advise you to complete the pre-requisite course.
What You Will Learn
The course begins with an in-depth exploration of Billable Items (BITs), which form the backbone of billing and invoicing in Convergent Invoicing. You will gain a clear and structured understanding of their role across processes.
Building on this, the course covers key configurations and processes, including:
Billable Item Class and Billable Item Management
FICA integration
Billable Item Transfer and Reversal
Scheduling and Billing Plans
Billing and Invoicing processes
Posting
Credit and Debit Memos
Discounts and Charges
You will also learn about important integrations:
Convergent Invoicing with Subscription Order Management (SOM) for handling recurring and one-time charges
Integration with Sales and Distribution (SD) for generating CI invoices from SD billing documents
Practical Learning Approach
This course is designed with a strong focus on practical understanding. Each topic is supported with detailed demonstrations that show:
Step-by-step configuration
End-to-end process flow
The impact of configuration changes on system behaviour and results
By the end of this course, you will have a solid understanding of Convergent Invoicing configurations and how they operate in real-world business scenarios.
