The CCM process cycle follows a clearly defined, fully integrated process within SAP S/4HANA – from the investment of the condition contract to the automatic posting in financial accounting.
Step 1 – Create a condition contract
The condition contract is the central object in CCM. Here all parameters are entered: business partners, validity period, condition types (e.g. Revenue discount, annual bonus), sales bases (by product group, article, factory) and billing rules (frequency, calculation method, relays).
Step 2 – Real-time revenue acquisition
As soon as relevant documents are booked (SD orders, MM purchasing documents), the sales automatically flow into the condition contract. There is no time delay – the stand is always up to date.
Step 3 – Delimitation (restitution determination)
On the basis of the accrued sales, CCM automatically calculates the provisions to be formed. These can be booked periodically or continuously – depending on the company’s requirement.
Step 4 – Billing (Settlement)
At the agreed billing date (monthly, quarterly, annually or event-based), CCM triggers the settlement process: credits to suppliers, direct debits to customers or internal rebookings – fully automatically and rule-based.
Step 5 – FI Booking & Analysis
Settlement documents are seamlessly transferred to financial accounting. Provision resolution, revenue posting and payment triggering are system-supported and audit-proof. Billed data are immediately available for evaluations and the next round of negotiations.
