Pricing Amount-Based Contracts

This section discusses how to allocate billing and revenue amounts, select percent-based contract lines, apply contract billing and revenue header discounts and surcharges, apply billing and revenue line discounts and surcharges, and view contract line discounts and surcharges (discounts do not apply to recurring contract lines). Amount allocation allows you to allocate total contract price across contract lines. The Amount Allocation section is divided into separate pages for allocating billing and revenue. The Billing Allocation page is always editable. The Revenue Allocation page is editable if billing and revenue are separated on the contract. If they are not separated, then the Revenue Allocation page is read only and values are programmatically set to those used for billing.

Billing Allocation Page

CA_PRICING_PNL

Allocate billing amounts for amount based contract lines including contract header and contract line specific discounts and surcharges. For percent-based lines that are priced as a fixed percentage of other lines or of the total amount, you can specify the fixed percentage and the lines to which it applies. Enter limit amounts for rate based contract lines and recurring amounts for recurring type contract lines.

Revenue Allocation Page

CA_PRICING_REV_PNL

Allocate revenue amounts for amount based contract lines including contract header and contract line specific discounts and surcharges. For percent-based lines that are priced as a fixed percentage of other lines or of the total amount, you can specify the fixed percentage and the lines to which it applies. Enter limit amounts for rate based contract lines. Review revenue pricing information used in the automated allocation of total revenue across contract lines.

Price Adjustments Page

CA_PRC_ADJ_PNL

Document the reasons for any differences between total billing and total revenue on the contract.

Percent-Based Billing Pricing Page

CA_DETAIL_PRCNG

Select the contract lines to which a percent-based line applies. For example, if you are licensing two software products for fixed amounts and one year of technical support priced at 30 percent of the value of the product licenses, select the contract lines for those product licenses in the Applies to Line field.

Percent-Based Revenue Pricing Page

CA_DETAIL_REV_PRCN

Select the contract lines to which a percent-based line applies. A different basis and percentage can be used to define the revenue amount on the line if the contract separates billing and revenue on fixed amount contract lines.

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Billing Allocation Page. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

Billing Allocation page

Note: When working in the Billing Allocation page, you can save your work at any time by clicking Save. When you click Save, any allocations that you make are reflected in the pricing fields across all PeopleSoft Contracts components using these values.

Discounts/Surcharges related fields are applicable to only Standard contracts and amount/percent based contract lines.

Contract Billing

Field or Control

Description

Total Billing

Enter the total contract price for billing for all types of contract lines. This should equal the sum of Billing Amount after discounts and surcharges for amount and percent based lines, plus sum of Billing Limit for rate based lines plus sum of Recurring Billing amount for recurring lines.

Unallocated Billing

Calculated by the system, displays the total billing amount not yet allocated to contract lines. This is calculated as Total Billing entered by the user minus Total Billing calculated by system under Line Totals group box. Unallocated billing does not need to be $0 for a contract to be activated, but this is encouraged.

Fixed Billing

Field or Control

Description

Fixed Billing

Enter the total billing amount for amount and percent based contract lines, This field acts as a control total on this page. The system sets the Allocation field to Complete when the sum of the billing amount allocated to the contract lines equals the amount entered in this field. Inclusive prepaids are included in the Fixed Billing field.

Billing Discounts/Surcharges

Use this to enter header level discounts or surcharges for amount and percent based contract lines before contract activation. Also, included in the display is the sum of all line level discounts and surcharges.

Note: This link appears only for contracts with a contract classification of Standard.

Net Fixed Billing

Displays the net billing amount for amount and percent based lines after discounts and surcharges. The system calculates this value by subtracting Billing Discounts/Surcharges from Fixed Billing.

Unallocated Fixed Billing

Displays the billing amount that is required to be allocated across amount and percent based contract lines. This is calculated as Fixed Billing entered by the user minus the sum of Billing Amount on the contract lines. This amount must be zero before the value of Allocation field is set to Completed.

Inclusive Prepaids

Inclusive prepaids are fixed amounts agreed to by the customer at contract origination. Prepaid amounts identified as inclusive in the Prepaids functionality must be included in the total fixed billing amount of the contract. Prepaids can be identified as inclusive before a contract is activated.

Prepaids not factored into the original contract price are referred to as non-inclusive and do not appear on this page. All prepaids, inclusive and non-inclusive are utilized against future activity on rate based as incurred contract lines. This field is not applicable for Internal contracts.

See Establishing Prepaid Amounts

Allocation

The system calculates the status of the fixed billing amount allocations. Values include:

  • Incomplete: This value appears by default and indicates that amount allocation has not been completely performed.

  • Complete: This value appears once you have fully allocated the fixed billing amount across all eligible amount and percent based contract lines.

Note: Contracts with amount and percent based contract lines must have the fixed billing amount for the contract completely allocated across its amount and percent based contract lines and the Allocation status must be set to Complete before the contract can be activated. This is not necessary for contracts with only rate-based or recurring lines.

If you have percent based contract lines with amounts based on a percentage of the total fixed billing amount, after entering and applying percentages that total 100, you may be required to allocate a rounding difference as a fixed amount to one of the contract lines before the Allocation is set to Complete.

Recalculate

When you click this button, the system recalculates the unallocated billing amount and unallocated fixed billing amount and sets the value of the allocation to Complete or Incomplete based on the Unallocated Fixed Billing value. It recalculates header and line level discounts when there is a change in the discount percentage or a change in the contract line billing amount. It also recalculates the Net Amount on amount and percent based lines and recalculates all fields under the Line Totals group box to reflect the latest changes in any of the amount fields on the Contract Line Pricing grid.

Note: This grid is not visible for contracts with a classification of Federal Reimbursable Agreements as amount allocation is not applicable for them.

Contract Line Pricing

Use the fields in this group box to allocate the Total Billing amount across individual contract lines. The system displays contract lines with an Active status only.

Note: All types of contract lines are part of this page, including, amount, percent, rate and recurring contract lines.. Columns displayed depend on the price type of the contract lines with only applicable columns being shown. As an example, columns for amount based discounts are not available on rate based contract lines. Instead rate based discounts may be entered on the Related Projects page.

Field or Control

Description

Retrieve Billing Price

Applicable for amount based lines, select this check box to reprice the contract line. When you select this option and click the Recalculate button, the system retrieves the list price from the PeopleSoft Enterprise Pricer or list price in Order Management, multiplies it by the quantity on the contract line, and updates the Extended Price, Billing Amount, Billing Discounts/Surcharges, and Net Billing amount fields for the selected contract lines. The contract line Start Date is used for purposes of effective dating. If the contract line start date is not available, then the contract start date is used.

Line (line number)

Displays the contract line number assigned to the contract line when it was added to the contract.

Product

Displays the product identifier associated with the product on the Product Definition page.

Bundle

Used for grouping related contract lines displays the bundle name assigned to the contract line.

See Defining Contract Lines, Defining Bundling Attributes

Price Type

Displays the price type associated with the contract line.

Quantity

Displays the quantity associated with the contract line. You can change this value at any time before contract activation. When you change the quantity, the system automatically updates the associated quantity on the Billing Plan Lines page.

Extended Price

Displays the list price multiplied by quantity for amount-based contract lines.

Billing Amount

Applicable for amount based lines, enter a price for billing. By default, the Billing Amount is set to the price defined in Order Management multiplied by the quantity, but can be overridden. The Billing Amount for a percent-based line is calculated and display-only.

Percentage

Applicable for percent based lines. If the percent based line is priced using % of Lines option then this value can be changed on Percent-Based Billing Pricing page. If the percent based line is priced using % of Total then its value is derived from the Order Management module.

Basis Type

Applicable for percent based lines, use this page to identify a basis for the calculation and the percentage.

Billing Discounts/Surcharges

Applicable for amount and percent based lines, click this link to identify contract line specific discounts. This field appears for Standard contracts only.

Net Billing

Applicable for amount and percent based lines, displays the Net Billing amount after subtracting discounts or surcharges from the Billing Amount.

Recurring Billing

Applicable for recurring lines. Recurring contract lines are available for standard and internal contracts. Recurring contract lines cannot be added to contracts that opt to Separate Fixed Billing and Revenue since revenue plans are not assigned to these lines and revenue always equals the amount billed.

The Recurring Billing amount is used to identify the amount expected to be billed and recognized for revenue on the recurring contract line. It is included in the Total Billing amount of the contract. The amount entered does not directly impact amounts on the bill plan or billing processes. Instead, the billing process will use the latest List Price in Order Management when it comes time to bill the customer.

Awarded Cost

Applicable for rate based contract lines on government contracts, enter the awarded cost value.

Billing Limit

Applicable for rate based lines, enter the billing limit for the line. Billing Limit is applicable for all contract classifications except internal. For government contracts the billing limit cannot exceed the Awarded Cost. For federal contracts with federal customers, the sum of the billing limits cannot exceed the Total Billing amount for the contract as identified on the Contracts General page. For federal contracts with non federal customers the sum of the billing limits cannot exceed the total prepaid amount in ready status.

Related Revenue Amount

Hover over this field to view the revenue amount for the contract line. If the contract separates billing and revenue then the revenue amount is editable on the Revenue Allocation page and the revenue value for the line can be viewed here. If the contract does not separate billing and revenue, then revenue amounts are read only on Revenue Allocation page and match the numbers used for billing. Applicable for all contract line types including amount, percent, rate and recurring.

Limit Check

Applicable for rate based contract lines, click to perform limit checking for the contract line. Limits Check is not applicable for internal contracts.

It also recalculates amounts under the Line Totals group box.

Line Totals

The line total portion of the page summarizes the numbers entered in the contract line pricing grid.

Field or Control

Description

Billing Amount

Displays the total billing amount for all amount and percent based contract lines.

Discounts/Surcharges

Displays the total header and line level billing discounts and surcharges for all amount and percent based contract lines.

Billing Limit

Displays the total billing limit for all rate based contract lines.

Recurring Amount

Use the Revenue Allocation page (CA_PRICING_REV_PNL) to identify the total revenue amount on the contract and to allocate that amount across contract lines. The Revenue Allocation page is editable if billing and revenue are separated on the contract. If billing and revenue are not separated on the contract then the Revenue Allocation page is read only and amounts are programmatically updated from the Billing Allocation page. The ability to edit data on the Revenue Allocation page is specific to the contract line type (amount or as incurred) and whether those line types separate billing and revenue on the contract. It is possible to separate billing and revenue on amount based lines and not to separate them on as incurred lines and vice versa. The line types identified as separate for billing and revenue while creating the contract are editable on the Revenue Allocation page. Recurring contract lines are never editable since revenue plans are not assigned to these lines and revenue is recognized equal to the amount billed.

Contract Revenue

Field or Control

Description

Total Billing

Displays the total billing amount from the Billing Allocation page. It can be edited on the Billing Allocation page.

Total Revenue

Enter the total contract price for revenue for all types of contract lines. This should equal the sum of Revenue Amount after discounts and surcharges for amount and percent based lines, plus sum of Revenue Limit for rate based lines plus Recurring Revenue amount for recurring lines. On many contracts, Total Revenue will match Total Billing, but this is not always the case and is not required.

Note: This field is read only and matches Total Billing on the Billing Allocation page if both Separate Fixed Billing and Revenue, and Separate As Incurred Billing and Revenue check boxes are not checked on the contract. In this scenario, the entire page is read only.

Documented Price Adjustment

Click the price link to access the Price Adjustments page. Use this page to document the reasons for any differences between Total Billing and Total Revenue.

Revenue Allocation

Select one of the values from the drop-down list:

  • Auto: Select this option to programmatically allocate Total Revenue to the contract lines. On selecting this option the fields Relative Percentage and Suggested Revenue are calculated and visible. The Override Revenue selection is enabled as well.

    Note: This option cannot be selected if the contract has header or line level discounts/surcharges or if the contract has percent based contract lines.

  • Manual: Select this option to manually enter/update the revenue amount and revenue limit for all contract lines. This is the default option. In addition, if the contract does not separate billing and revenue (neither Separate Fixed, nor Separate As Incurred Billing and Revenue is checked) then this page is read only, the Manual option is displayed and cannot be changed. In this scenario, all revenue values are programmatically set to the values used for billing.

Unallocated Revenue

Calculated by the system, displays the total revenue amount not yet allocated to contract lines. Unallocated revenue does not need to be zero for a contract to be activated, but this is encouraged.

Fixed Revenue

Field or Control

Description

Fixed Revenue

Enter the total revenue amount for amount and percent based contract lines. This field acts as a control total on this page. The system sets the Allocation field to Complete when the sum of the revenue amount allocated to the contract lines equals the amount entered in this field. Inclusive prepaids are included in the Fixed Revenue field.

This field will be grayed out and the value for this field is defaulted from the Fixed Billing field on the Billing Allocation page if the Separate Fixed Billing and Revenue check box is not selected on the contract.

Revenue Discounts/Surcharges

Use this to update header level discounts or surcharges for revenue before contract activation. Also, included in the display is the sum of all line level discounts and surcharges for revenue.

The hyperlink will be display only and the value for this field is defaulted from the Billing Discounts/Surcharges field on the Billing Allocation page if the Separate Fixed Billing and Revenue check box is not selected on the contract.

Note: This link appears only for Standard contracts.

Net Fixed Revenue

Displays the net revenue amount for amount and percentage based lines after discounts and surcharges. System calculates this by subtracting Revenue Discounts/Surcharges from Fixed Revenue.

Unallocated Fixed Revenue

Displays the fixed amount revenue that has yet to be allocated across amount and percent based contract lines. This must equal zero before the system sets the allocation status to Complete and before the contract can be activated. Similar to the Billing Allocation page, inclusive prepaids are include in the calculation. The value for this field is defaulted from the Unallocated Fixed Billing field on the Billing Allocation page if the Separate Fixed Billing and Revenue check box is not selected on the contract.

Inclusive Prepaids

Displays the sum of all inclusive prepaids for the contract and used to calculate the unallocated fixed revenue.

Prepaids can be identified as inclusive before a contract is activated. Prepaids not factored into the original contract price are referred to as non-inclusive and do not appear on this page. All prepaids, inclusive and non-inclusive are utilized against future activity on rate based as incurred contract lines.

Allocation

The system calculates the status of the fixed revenue amount allocation upon clicking on Recalculate button. Values include:

  • Incomplete: This value appears by default and indicates that amount allocation has not been completely performed.

  • Complete: This value appears once you have fully allocated the fixed revenue amount across eligible amount and percent based contract lines.

Note: This field is grayed out and the value of this field will match the Allocation status on the Billing Allocation page if the Separate Fixed Billing and Revenue check box is not selected on the contract.

Note: Contracts with amount and percent based contract lines must have the fixed revenue amount for the contract completely allocated across its amount and percent based contract lines and the Allocation status must be set to Complete before the contract can be activated. This is not necessary for contracts with only rate-based or recurring lines.

Recalculate

When you click this button, the system does the following:

  • Calculates the relative allocation and suggested revenue for each line when the Automated Option is selected.

  • Recalculates the extended revenue price for lines where Retrieve Revenue Price is selected.

  • Recalculates the unallocated revenue amount.

  • Recalculates the unallocated fixed revenue amount and sets the value of the allocation to Complete or Incomplete based on the unallocated fixed revenue value.

  • Recalculates header and line level discounts when there is a change in the discount percentage or a change in the contract line revenue amount.

  • Recalculates amounts under the Line Totals group box.

The Fixed Revenue group box is not visible for Federal Reimbursable Agreements since amount based lines cannot be added to these contracts.

Contract Line Pricing

All contract lines price types should be included on this page. Columns displayed depend on the price types of the contract lines with only applicable columns being shown. As an example, columns for amount based discounts are not available on rate based contract lines. Columns are editable if revenue and billing are separated for the contract line price type. If revenue and billing are not separated for the contract line price type, then the amount is read only and defaulted from the Billing Allocation page.

Field or Control

Description

Retrieve Revenue Price

Select this check box to recalculate the contract line's revenue price based on product prices in Order Management and the Enterprise Pricer. Any changes in quantity are also used to recalculate the line’s Extended Revenue Price. This field is applicable for amount and rate based lines if the contract line price type separates billing and revenue (Separate Fixed or Separate As Incurred Billing and Revenue are selected for the contract). This check box is not enabled for percent based lines and recurring lines. After selecting this check box and clicking the Recalculate button, the system retrieves the revenue price from Order Management and this would include the Enterprise Pricer if configured for product pricing.

If the Revenue Allocation is Manual then the revenue amount and revenue limit values are replaced by the updated extended revenue price.

If the Revenue Allocation is Auto then the Relative Percentage and Suggested Revenue values are recalculated based on the updated extended revenue price. The revenue amount and revenue limit are replaced by the suggested revenue amount. If the Override Revenue check box is selected then the relative percentage and suggested revenue are not applicable and the revenue amount and revenue limit field are enterable.

Line

Displays the contract line number assigned to the contract line when it was added to the contract.

Product

Displays the product identifier associated with the product on the Product Definition page.

Bundle

Used for grouping related contract lines, displays the bundle name assigned to the contract line.

See Defining Contract Lines

Price Type

Displays the price type for the contract line.

Quantity

Displays the quantity for the contract line. This value cannot be edited and will match the value on the Billing Allocation page.

Note: This field is applicable for amount and rate based lines and modified only on the Billing Allocation page.

Extended Revenue Price

Displays the revenue price multiplied by quantity for amount and rate-based contract lines.

To view the updated extended revenue price select the Retrieve Revenue Price check box and click the Recalculate button. The latest revenue price is retrieved from Order Management and the Enterprise Pricer. When the Automated Allocation is selected, the extended revenue price is used as the basis for the allocation.

Relative Percentage

Displays the contract line’s relative percentage to the total and is display only. This field is visible only if Revenue Allocation is Auto. Each contract line is assigned a relative percentage using its Extended Revenue Price relative to the total of all extended revenue prices for all lines on the contract. Contract lines where Override Revenue is selected are excluded from the relative percentage calculation.

Suggested Revenue

Displays the suggested revenue and is display only. This field is visible only if Revenue Allocation is Auto. The Suggested Revenue field assigns a portion of Total Revenue to contract lines participating in the allocation (that is where the Override Revenue check box is not selected). The system calculates suggested revenue as follows:

  • (Total Revenue minus contract line amounts (and limits) specified as an override) Multiplied by Relative Percentage.

  • Suggested Revenue defaults to the revenue amount and revenue limit fields and cannot be edited.

Contract lines identified as being Overridden will display a blank for Relative Percentage and Suggested Revenue. After the allocation is complete, Total Revenue is allocated to a contract line via the suggested revenue calculation or an override. The total of the two should equal total revenue on the contract. The revenue allocation specific to amount based lines is altogether separate from the allocation of total revenue.

Override Revenue

Select this check box to exclude a contract line from the automated revenue allocation. After selecting or deselecting this field click the Recalculate button to get the updated revenue amounts. When selected, the revenue amount and revenue limit fields are enterable. If not selected the revenue amount and revenue limit fields default from suggested revenue and are display only. Based on the contract line price type, this check box is selected and grayed out if the contract does not separate billing and revenue and the revenue amount or limit is set to the billing amount or limit. This check box is always selected for percent-based lines and recurring lines and cannot be edited.

Revenue Amount

Applicable for amount based lines, the revenue amount works as follows:

  • For newly added contract lines, defaults from the extended revenue price.

  • For a percent-based line, calculated as percentage of the Revenue Amount of other amount based contract lines or as percentage of the total Fixed Revenue on the contract and is display only.

  • For automated allocations, defaults from the suggested amount.

  • For automated allocations where the contract line is set to override, the revenue amount is updated manually.

  • For contracts where the Separate Fixed Billing and Revenue check box is not selected on the contract, programmatically set to match the billing amount.

Note: If the Revenue Allocation is set to Manual and the Retrieve Revenue Price check box is selected, then the Revenue Amount is updated with the latest extended revenue price in Order Management and the Enterprise Pricer overriding any existing value. Similarly, for revenue allocations set to Auto where the contract line is set to Override Revenue, any previously entered revenue amounts would be updated with extended revenue price.

Note: This field is not applicable for Federal Reimbursable Agreements.

Percentage

Applicable for percent based lines, displays the percentage used to determine the revenue amount on the line. It may be different from the percentage used for billing if the Separate Fixed Billing and Revenue check box is selected on the contract.

Note: This field is visible for percent based contract lines on standard and internal contracts.

Basis Type

Applicable for percent based lines, use this page to identify a basis for the calculation and the percentage. The basis percentage used for revenue allocation can be different from the basis percentage used for billing if the Separate Fixed Billing and Revenue check box is selected on the contract.

Note: This field is visible for percent based contract lines on standard and internal contracts.

Revenue Discounts/Surcharges

Applicable for amount and percent based lines on Standard contracts, click this link to identify contract line specific discounts. The value for this field will default from the billing discounts/surcharges field on the Billing Allocation page if the Separate Fixed Billing and Revenue check box is not selected on the contract.

When you assign revenue discounts to a contract line, the system generates discount specific accounting distributions on the Accounting Distribution Discounts /Surcharges page and the revenue discount amount is used there. If the contract does not Separate Fixed Billing and Revenue then the billing discount is used to create the revenue discount.

Net Revenue

Applicable for amount and percent based lines on Standard contracts, displays the Net Revenue amount after subtracting discounts or surcharges from the Revenue Amount.

Recurring Revenue

Displays the recurring revenue amount for recurring contract lines. The value always matches recurring billing and can be modified on the Billing Allocation page only. Recurring contract lines cannot be added to contracts that opt to Separate Fixed Billing and Revenue since revenue plans are not assigned to these lines and revenue always equals the amount billed.

Note: This field is visible only for standard and internal contracts.

Awarded Cost

Applicable for rate based contract lines on government contracts and always display only, the amount can be edited on the Billing Allocation page.

Revenue Limit

Applicable for rate based lines, the revenue limit works as follows:

  • For newly added contract lines, defaults from the extended revenue price.

  • For automated allocations, defaults from the suggested amount.

  • For automated allocations where the contract line is set to override, the revenue amount is updated manually.

  • For contracts where the Separate As Incurred Billing and Revenue check box is not selected on the contract, programmatically set to match the billing limit.

  • Revenue Limit is applicable for all rate based contract lines except on Internal contracts.

Note: If the Revenue Allocation is set to Manual and the Retrieve Revenue Price check box is selected, then the Revenue Limit is updated with the latest extended revenue price in Order Management and the Enterprise Pricer overriding any existing value. Similarly, for revenue allocations set to Auto where the contract line is set to Override Revenue, any previously entered revenue limits would be updated with extended revenue price.

Note: Revenue Limit cannot be less than the revenue already processed. If the suggested revenue limit does calculate to a lesser amount, then you should select Override Revenue and increase your revenue limit to the amount already processed.

Note: Much of the automated allocation functionality assumes the use of contract line revenue limits. With new functionality, organizations who enter a revenue limit of zero to indicate no revenue limit (or unlimited revenue) may need to update a newly defaulted default revenue limit to zero.
