Cash Discount Clearing

Hi to all,
Can somebody tell me when the Cash Discount Clearing account determination (in purchasing tab) is called in SAP. I have tried many scenarios and there is none calling this account.
Can somebody help me
Thanks

Hi,
The Cash Discount Clearing Account is only used when the 'Net Procedure'
option is selected in the Accounting tab of the 'AP Invoice' function.
The 'Net Procedure' enables recording in advance of any future discount
available from purchases. In this approach, the debiting account for the
purchase is automatically reduced by the amount of the future discount.
For example, if a 5 % discount is given for a $100 Invoice, the journal
entry to record the AP Invoice will be as follows:
Dr. Inventory - $95
Dr. Cash Discount Clearing - $5
Cr. BP Supplier - $100
If the 'Net Procedure' option is not selected, the cash discount will
only be recorded upon payment of the AP Invoice. Hence, the journal
entry for the AP Invoice will be as follows:
Dr. Inventory - $100
Cr. BP Supplier - $100

Cash discount clearing (Net method)

All
I require clarification, There are two scenarios. One to calculate discount while making payment and another one is while booking invoice.
I am clear regarding "To calculate discount while making payment"
I am not clear on "To calculate discount whlie invoice booking". I am aware of the FBKP config settings
I had gone thru the SDN links and not clear of "The Cash Discount Clearing Account is only used when the 'Net Procedure'
option is selected in the Accounting tab of the 'AP Invoice' function."
What is that "AP invoice function". Where can we find ?
Regards
Raj

Hi Raj,
We have configured our ECC6.0 system to the Gross method, which means that at the time of the payment program, it takes the discount (if applicable). My understanding of the Net method is that it calculates the discount at the time of the invoice posting HOWEVER we chose not to use that method, because the Amount Split tab is not available in that method and we need to split our invoices for tax reasons (where part of the invoice is tax reportable/deductable but not all).
To configure GROSS vs NET discount:
1. set up an expense GL account for Gross. Set up a balance sheet account for Net
2. Goto FBKP, Automatic Postings, Cash discount and payment differences, Cash discount clearing (SKV) and enter the expense GL Account. (the NET method needs a balance sheet account GL here)
3. Then go to SPRO
Under Financial Accounting (New)\AR&AP\Business Transactions\Outgoing Payments\Outgoing Payments Global Settings\Define Accounts for Cash Discount Taken (OBXU)
For Gross setting, enter the same expense GL Account. Net setting should have the balance sheet account.
4. Under Financial Accounting (New)\AR&AP\Business Transactions\Outgoing Payments\Outgoing Payments Global Settings\Define Accounts for Lost Cash Discount (OBXV)
For Gross settting, this should be blank. Net setting should have the balance sheet account here also.
5. Under Financial Accounting (New)\Financial Accounting Global Settings\Document\Document Type\Define Document Types (OBA7) for Entry View Click on all your Invoice Document Types
There is a box labeled Control data and then there is a checkbox labeled Net document type.
For Gross Config, that checkbox should be blank (unchecked).
We have found that using the GROSS setting requires us to create our own discounts lost/earned report based upon the payment program proposal logs.
Does that help?

No line item for Cash discount in customer invoice

Hi Experts,
Can anyone please suggest with configuration details for customising the customer invoice, to display invoice with cash discount line item. Currently i have assigned the customer master data with payment terms to include cash discount of 10% on for invoice with credit period of 20 days.
Thanks in advance
satish

I think first thing you should be looking for is are you following net discount method or gross discount method . As that will define whether the posting of discount will be at invoice or when you post the payment document against that invoice. + you have to configure cash discount accounts before you can post in cash discount.
Net: Cash discount clearing account and Cash discount loss/gain account (At the time of Invoice posting )
Gross: Cash discount given and Cash discount recieved account (At the time of payment)

Clearing issue Incoming payment due to Cash discount ( customers)

Hello,
During processing automatic incoming payments the system don't clear the customer open item in case the customer has taken a cash discount.
The clearing should be done automatically in the posting area 2 but now the the user needs to do manual interventions in the FEBAN in order to clear the customer
We checked the payment terms and verified the discount taken by the customer and they are ok
After investigation we guess that the original SD invoice don't send the Discount amount and Discount base amount to FI, because we saw that those fields are empty in the FI document (RV),
Also in Billing the Cash discount base field in empty...
When i tried to create a manual customer invoice those fields are well filled in and the system clears the customer open item perfectly !
Any one an idea how to fix it ?

Hello,
Thanks for your feedback but the issue is not solved.
Is there difference in clearing behaviour in case the open item posting is orginated from a SD invoice ( Billing) because as stated before, when I make a FI sales invoice (FB60) the system perfectly accepts the cash discount and post and clears in postingarea 2
Also when I consult the open item position (FBL5N) the cash discount amount field is empty which is not the case when I post an FB60 invoice
Summarized
We are usiing the automatic bank statement program ( FEBC), during posting the system post perfectly posting area 1 (FEBP) but fails the post postingarea 2 ( the system makes a payment advice) the message the system generates ' Difference to large for clearing F5263'
Many thanks for help

FB05 Difference too large for clearing - cash discount

Hello,
We have an issue to clear incoming payments in case the customer takes his cash discount.
This siutation occurs only when the original invoice is an SD one ( billing)
In the clearing window the the cash discount amt field is empty, only the discount % field is populated
We tried to mimik the invoice via FB70 and in that case the payment gets clear and the system post perfectly.
In SD we use Condition type SKV and he calculates the correct cash discount
We use 'Discount Base is net value '( Company global param)
It seems that SD is not populating the Discount amount to FI for some reason
Can anyone help us
Thanks

Hi Jan,
Is the Discount Base field populated in SD? Sales Order or Billing Document?
If not, the problem is that SD consultants must add a standard condition for Discount Base Amount in the Sales Order and that field condition must be always the Net Value of the Sales Order.
I currently don't have access to SAP and I cannot check the exact name of the condition.
Please check what is the value that you get in the field Discount Base Amount in the Sales Order and the Billing Document and if it is 0 let me know and I will look for the condition for you.
In that way you will be able to make cash discounts in FI on billing documents coming from SD.
Thanks,

Cash Discount Calculated for One Line Item and not for Other

Hi All,
We have devloped a Z program which is used to Write of InterCompany AR and AP recon Account to another GL Account. In this program to clear line item we have created a BDC which calls t-code FB05. Thsi program is running perfectly fine for all company codes.
There is new company code SG20 for which it is not clearing the line items. It has created a Session in SM35, when we analysed the seesin we found that for some line items system is calculating Cash Discount and for some other line items it is not but the payment Term is same for all the douments with 3% 14days.
I need your help in understanding that why for some line items system calculates the Cash Discout where as for others it is not calculation..also the Posting Date is same for all the documents.
Please advise what could be the reson for this.
Thanks!
Regards,
VIvek Srivastava

Hi
Cash discount is calculated based on the combination of baseline date and payment term conditions.
Hence please check the baseline date for all the documents, in which the cash discount is not appearing.
In your case, the possible reasons could be that 1) baseline date is different between these documents or 2) payment terms cash % is manually modified in the line item of the documents.

Cash Discount in absolute value, not in %

Hello Friends,
I have a scenario with respect to terms of payment, where the customer is entitled for a cash discount of Rs.100 per unit if the invoice is cleared within 7 days from the date of invoice, Rs.75 per unit within 14 days & Rs.50 per unit within 21 days with total credit period of 45 days.
The problem I'm facing is that in the Terms of Payment configuration (transaction code OBB8), I'm able to store the cash discount in % and not in absolute value (field "percentage" under the "Payment Terms" heading in tcode OBB8).
Request your suggestion at the earliest.
Thnx & Rgds,
Padmanabhan

Hi,
The CASH DISCOUNT will be given based on the Payment terms with the CONDITION TYPE.
In the Standard the CASH DISCOUNT condition types are SKTO & SKTV.
If you are using the same condition types, change the CALCULATION TYPE for these condition types in V/06 to B ( which is fixed amount) and try.
Hope it will solve your requirement.

"Max. cash discount" not taken in F-58

We select u201Cmax. cash discountu201D in configuration, FBZP. Payment program will calculate discount without considering base line date.
However, this works only if payment run is done in F110 u2013 calculate discount based on only the payment term field. But if the payment done in transaction F-58, discount is calculated based on the base line date AND payment terms.
"Max. cash discount" works only in F110, but not in F-58. Has anyone experienced a similiar issue?

For manual paymenst i do not see any settings, but you can set the indication 'Cash Discount Terms Used for Displaying Items when Clearing' in Outgoing Payments> Manual Outgoing Payments> 'Define Tolerances (Vendors)' to display the first cash discount % (which is the max discount).
This will display the max discount i F-58

Post-Capitalization of Cash Discount for Asset

Hi,
We are in ECC 6.0 and have activated Document Splitting.
Further, have provided asset field in Define post capitalization of cash discount to assets in Document Splitting of SPRO.
After the both, my expectation is to see the entry as stated by SAP in the scenario of Post-Capitalization of Cash Discount for Asset.
But unfortunately, the discount amount is not being capitalized on the payment date, but is being posted to cash discount account.
Kindly let me know what mistake i might have carried for this.
Thanks and Regards,
Purna.
Scenario: Posted invoice for asset purchase using F-90 with payment terms as 2% cash discount if paid within 15 days.
Assume: Asset purchased on 06.01.2012 and as per the payment term if paid before 20.01.2012 i will get 2% cash discount.
Have made the payment to vendor using T-code F-53 on 10.01.2012, even though i see a cash discount is being calculated as required, but the account is an cash discount received account. Instead, what i was expecting is the asset account.
Hope, my question is being clear and i will look forward for a reply.

Hi,
Please check your config below.
IMG->FA->AA->Transactions->Acquistions->Prevent Subsequent Capitalisation of discounts...
If the indicator is set for your company code, system will not capitalised the subsequent discounts.

*URGENT* Cash discount account configuration

Hello SAP Gurus,
We have the following requirement:
The business would like to update the GL account that is automatically posted when cash discounts are taken in the AP payment run.
Is there any functionality available in SAP to configure the cash discount account by company code or other org?
The only place I am aware of that this account is configured is through transaction OBXU and this appears to be a global setting (by world wide chart of accounts), so affects all geographies and vendor payments.
PS: Suitable points shall be rewarded.
Thanks and Regards,
Sreeni.
+91 99860 32960.

Hi Sreeni,
when evere you are posting transactions in SAP, It will defnitely belongs to one company code only. so when system will calcualte cash discount based on the terms of specified in document. it will post the cash discount in to that company code.
hope it will clear your query.
it will be configured in OBXU only
Best Regards

Payment advice help - Cash discount question

I am working on a process to get incomming payments from our banks by EDI and automatically apply and clear the payments against the outstanding invoices that we have. The customer that we are working with has a cash discount field that we need to use in our clearing. I have found in notes that the EDI fields needed to use for this is like in the following example:
<E1IDPU1>
    <E1IDPU5>
        <MOAQUAL>003</MOAQUAL>
        <MOABETR>5.00</MOABETR>
        <CUXWAERZ>USD</CUXWAERZ>
    </E1IDPU5>
</E1IDPU1>
<E1IDLU5>
    <MOAQUAL>003</MOAQUAL>
    <MOABETR>5.00</MOABETR>
    <CUXWAERZ>EUR</CUXWAERZ>
</E1IDLU5>
I would expect this to apply a $5 cash discount to whatever payment is in the other fields and then auto clear the invoice if the payment along with this cash discount equals the amount in the invoice. What is instead happening is that a payment for whatever the net amount I enter is created and it seems that this cash discount row is being ignored. How can I get this cash discount to be applied to the payment??

Any ideas ?

Cash Discount has become unrestricted

Dear Experts,
I have configured cash discount through payments term route. I have also maintained the SKTO condition in SD in pricing procedure. The issue is that while clearing (F-32) the system is accepting whatever discount we are entering. It is even accepting cash discount values greater than the required amount. We want the system to calculate the correct discount only and not accept any other value.
Please help with your valuable suggestions. Please explain in as much detail as possible.
Warm Regards,
Mukesh

Payment for Cash Discount posted incorrectly

Hi Everyone,
I have a issue and wanted to see if someone came across anything similar.
The problem is with Cash Discount Posting, the cash discount is calculated correctly in pricing and everything works fine when the invoice is created. However when the invoice is paid and posted in the system it splits the amount of cash discount with freight.
Example:- Invoice XXXX had a cash discount of $347.64 and the invoice was paid, but when the payment was posted, it posted the cash discount as $347.63 and put the difference of $0.01 to freight.
I'm not sure what's going on, any idea's or suggestions.
Also, is there an OSS on this issue?
Awaiting reply.
Thanks for your help.

If you want it to appear on the customer statement it will have to be a customer open item.
However this would then post to the recon account and not the P&L account which I expect you want.
Also discount taken is only posted to when the invoice is cleared.
Therefore you cant get it in a customer statement, you would need to have the information in the Billing doc.
Remember you are offering a cash discount for early payment, this does not mean the customer is always due it. However there are config settings to say the customer should always take the discount.
Hope this helps, if so award points please.
