The key takeaways are that retro-billing is a process used to issue credit or debit memos for retroactive price adjustments when an error is made or a rebate becomes a gate fee due to timing of rise and fall calculations.

Retro-billing is a process of issuing credit or debit memos for retroactive price adjustments. It is done when there is a need to change the price charged to a customer for a past transaction, such as when an error was made in the original price.

The steps involved in the retro-billing process are uploading the new price condition record, checking existing billing documents within the given date range, simulating the adjustment documents, providing the retro-billing reasons, and generating the actual credit/debit memos.

Retrospective Price Correction:

We require the ability to change the price charged to a customer for a transaction /
en-mass e.g. when an error is made, or where a rebate payment retrospectively
becomes a Gate Fee or vice versa due to the timing of a rise and fall calculation.

In this scenario, during the month the customer would have an
estimated price entered against their contract. Transactions would be
processed (Sales Orders, Billing Docs etc would be raised as normal). At
a later date when the corrected price is known and updated against the
customer contract, an adjustment would be processed from a custom
SAP transaction.
