Component: FI-CA-INV Convergent Invoicing
Definition: A rating group in SAP FI-CA Convergent Invoicing is a classification key used to categorize and group rated usage records or service consumption data for billing purposes. It helps determine how different types of usage or services are processed, rated, and invoiced within the convergent charging and invoicing framework.
How It’s Used: In real SAP projects, rating groups are assigned to usage records or service events that have been rated by the rating engine. For example, in a telecommunications scenario, different types of calls (local, international, roaming) might be assigned different rating groups to apply distinct pricing or invoicing rules. The rating group ensures that these usage records are correctly aggregated, priced, and invoiced according to the business logic defined in the convergent invoicing process.
Important Configuration:
- Define rating groups in the customizing under Convergent Charging or FI-CA rating settings.
- Assign rating groups to usage types or service categories in the rating configuration.
- Maintain rating group mappings in transaction codes related to rating and invoicing, such as BRF+ (Business Rule Framework plus) or specific customizing IMG paths under FI-CA Convergent Invoicing.
- Ensure integration between rating groups and billing document determination to correctly reflect charges on invoices.
