Explanation

Billable items in SAP IS-U represent a more complete billing object than standard rated consumption items, containing the additional data needed to post financial documents.

Why A, C, D are correct:

• (A) Main transactions - Billable items carry FI posting keys (main/sub-transactions) that map the charge to the correct G/L account; rated consumption items contain quantity and price data but no posting instructions.
• (C) Organizational data - Billable items include company code, division, and sales org data required for financial posting and billing document creation; rated consumption items operate at the consumption/device level and don't carry this.
• (D) Price for event - The final calculated monetary value for the billing event is stamped on the billable item; a rated consumption item holds rate/price components but not the resolved event-level price.

Why B and E are wrong:

• (B) Currency - Currency is already present in rated consumption items as part of the pricing/rate data, so it is not an additional piece of information introduced at the billable item stage.
• (E) Contract Account - The contract account is linked earlier in the chain (at the installation/premise level) and is accessible from rated consumption items as well, making it non-distinctive to billable items.

Memory tip: Think "billable items are post-ready" - they add everything needed to hit the G/L: Main transactions (A), Org data (C), and a Determined event price (D). If it's already known before billing, it's not new.
