For a repair confirmation (service transaction type REPC) to be billed, it must first be converted into a Billing Document Request (BDR), which is a sales document. This integration requires specific customizing. First, a sales document type for the BDR must be assigned to the service transaction type REPC (D). Second, the system must know how to convert the service items (e.g., labor, parts) into sales items; this is achieved by mapping the service item categories to sales item categories (E). Finally, for the BDR to be successfully invoiced, the resulting sales item categories must be configured as relevant for billing within the standard Sales & Distribution (SD) copy control settings for the target billing type (B).

A. You assign a billing plan type to the sales document type used for the billing document request.

Billing plans are used for specific scenarios like periodic or milestone billing and are not a mandatory general setting for billing a standard repair confirmation.

C. You maintain what billing type needs to be used for a repair confirmation.

The billing type is not assigned directly to the service transaction type (REPC). It is determined from the sales document type of the Billing Document Request.

SAP S/4HANA 2023

Service -> Billing -> Billing for Service Transactions.

Reference for D & E: The documentation outlines the process where a BDR is created from a service transaction. This requires settings in Customizing for Service under Transactions -> Integration with Sales and Distribution and Transactions -> Basic Settings -> Define Transaction Types. Specifically

assigning a sales document type to the service transaction type and mapping item categories are fundamental steps described in these configuration nodes.

Reference for B: The documentation states

"You create a billing document (invoice) from the BDR." This is a standard SD process governed by copy control (Transaction VTFA). In copy control

the sales item category's billing relevance and other settings determine if it can be copied to the final invoice

making this check essential.

Configuration Environment of SAP S/4HANA Cloud -> Configuration for Billing.

Reference for B: Section "Copying Control for Billing Documents" details that item-level controls determine which items are copied from a source document (like a BDR) to a billing document. This confirms that the sales item category must be correctly configured for the billing type.

E: Unit "Billing in Service" explicitly covers the Resource-Related Billing process. It details the configuration step of assigning a sales document type (for the BDR) to the service transaction type. It also explains the role of the Dynamic Item Processor (DIP) profile

which is linked to the service item category and is integral to mapping service costs to sales items for the BDR.
