• Key Concepts: 
  Billing rate type is a component of the IS-U-BI Contract Billing module in SAP. It is used to define the rate at which a customer is billed for services. The billing rate type can be based on a fixed rate, a variable rate, or a combination of both. It can also be used to define discounts or surcharges that are applied to the customer's bill. 
  
  How to use it: 
  In order to use the billing rate type, you must first create a billing plan in SAP. This plan will define the rate at which the customer will be billed for services. Once the plan is created, you can then assign a billing rate type to it. This will determine how the customer is billed for services. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a billing plan, it is important to consider how the customer will be billed for services. If you are using a variable rate, make sure that you have taken into account any discounts or surcharges that may apply. Additionally, if you are using a combination of fixed and variable rates, make sure that you have taken into account any differences in rates between different services.
