Understanding Billing Lines for Advanced Contract Billing Contracts

You set up billing lines for advanced contract billing contracts in the same way that you do for regular contracts (document type R2). Two types of billing lines are available:

  • Independent billing lines

    Independent billing lines include all of the information that the system needs to calculate a billing amount, and include these types:

    • Lump sum.

    • Unit price.

    • Milestone billing.

    • Progress billing.

    • Time and materials (T and M) or cost plus.

  • Dependent billing lines

    Dependent billing lines include only a portion of the information that the system needs to calculate a billing amount. To calculate a billing amount for a dependent contract billing line, you must associate each dependent billing line with an independent billing line. Dependent billing lines include:

    • Direct and rated draws

    • Fees and award fees

    • Components

    • Labor burden

    • Applied burdens

Both independent and dependent billing lines are discussed in detail in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Contract and Service Billing 9.0 Implementation Guide. The following sections discuss only fee and award fee billing lines, and the setup for these types of lines that is available only for advanced contract billing contracts.
