Down Payment Request - Special G/L Indicator F

Dear all,
While posting Vendor Down Payment Request (tcode: F-47), I encountered the following error message:
Special G/L indicator F is not defined for down payments
Message no. F5053
Diagnosis
The specified special G/L indicator is not classified as "down payment" or not listed in the list of the target special G/L indicators for indicator "F".
I have performed the following configuration for Special GL indicator F:
Tcode: OBYR or FBKP
Account type = K, Special G/L Indicator = F. I have set the recon account from vendor master into the list of the account, also the Planning Level = FF.
I click on the Properties button, and following is the setup of the Properties:
Noted Items  select this check box.
Target Special GL Indicator: AF
Special G/L Transaction Types: select Down Payment/Down Payment Request.
Can you please kindly share how to solve this issue? Thank you very much in advance.
Kind Rgds,

Hi Dahlia,
There are 2-3 things that you have to take care while posting Down Payment request.
1. Define F as Down Payment request ( this is std. provided by SAP)
2. Check box Noted items.
3. In target Spl GL, enter A..this is very important as this is the place where you are linking F to A
4. In spl GL transaction types, select the radio button Down payment/Down Payment Request.
5. Now in Spl GL A, take care that In spl GL transaction types, the radio button Down payment/Down Payment Request is selected.

  • Down Payment Request--URGENT

    I need to configure down payment request in OBXR for various down payment accounts for customers. In SAP we have F as special gl indicator for down pament requests. I have about 4 to 5 customers with different recon accounts. Some of the customers with common recona ccount need to be assigned different liabilty account. In down paymetn request, when I create anotehr gl indicator for eg. 1 or G and check mark on noted items in properties I get teh message that only F special indicator is for down paymetn requests. How do I create otehr special indicators for down payment requests because the system does not let me create any other specail gl indicator. I checked in OBXB where F is set up as special gl indicator for down pmt request. There is no button to add more special gl indicators there.
    Please help me with this. THis is urgent. Thanks
    Lakshmi

    The confusion here is that you are trying to create a new Down Payment Request Special GL indicator. You do not need this. What you need to create is a new Down Payment GL Indicator.
    Remember when you do a down payment request (special GL F), the system does not post to any reconciliation account. It is just a noted item. It is only when the down payment is made that the system posts an entry to a provisional liability (usually special GL A).
    If you want  to accomplish the above issue, you can create Special GL items (just like A) but do NOT make them noted items. Only F should be a noted item. Then link these new Special GLs to Special GL F, in the field Target Sp GL ind. Then you can attach the new codes to the different reconciliation accounts that you want.
    Special GL F can still remain on the original reconcilation account, as said above no postings are made when you do a Down Payment Request.

  • Down payment request and special GL indicator

    Hi SAP Experts,
    From several days I'm looking for an explanation of standard down payment process in SAP:
    When we create down payment request for customer, billing type FAZ, corresponding FI document is created with special GL indicator "F".
    Does somebody know what is the configuration for that? How the system determines that for FAZ billing type it should create special GL indicator "F"?
    Thanks and appreciate any suggestions.

    Dear Marin  Please check in Google
    Does somebody know what is the configuration for that?

  • Down payment request for other special GL transactions

    Hi ALL,
    Is it possible to post down payment request for other special GL transactions?
    If not , I Have a scenario that I have to generate down payment request with different alternative reconciliation accounts , but same reconciliation account.
    As we cannot assign different alternative reconciliation accounts for same reconciliation account  in special GL indicator "F- down payment request), how to post down payment request with different alternative reconciliation accounts?
    Even though I have created different special GL indicators for different alternative reconciliations accounts with same reconciliation accounts, I couldn't post down payment request, only down payment is possible. how to solve?
    regs,
    ramesh b

    Please do the following
    1. Activate Reconciliation account ready input setting for your Main reconciliation account in FS00
    2. If you dont find the setting in FS00, then you have to change FSG settings for this account group in OBD4.
    3. Also assign alternative reconciliation accounts to your reconciliation account
    Now system asks you to input the alternative recon account when you do the transactions.

  • Error in Posting Vendor down Payment request

    Hi
    I am getting an error in posting vendor downpayment request. I am using the T Code F-47 and special GL indicator F.
    Error: Special GL Indicator F is not defined for down payments
    Message No F5053

    I have checked the settings in FBKP. The GL Accounts and properties have been maintained there. The target GL Indicator A is also maintained in the properties. In OBXT also the GL Indicator has been defined. What could be the error?
    Regards
    Rahul Sharma

    Hi,
    What ever the special gl you are created or assigned to K in OBXT are will not allow to post down payment. in FB60 by using these special gl indicators we can post invoice.
    Go to OBXR and assign F is for down payment request if it is not there. before assign in OBYR delete the assignment in OBXT. Defaulty the F is used for down payment requests only.
    Hope this is clear, if yes assign points, any problem revert me

  • F-47 Down Payment Request - Error Message F5053

    Dears,
    I'm working on a 4.7 SAP R/3 release and, as trying to post a down payment request from transaction <b>F-47</b> with Special Ledger indicator "T", I get Error Message F5053: "The specified special G/L indicator is not classified as "down payment" or not listed in the list of the target special G/L indicators for indicator "F"."
    Special Ledger indiactor F is customized correctly meaning that:
    - Reconciliation account and alternative reconciliation account are indicate
    - The "noted item" flag is set
    - Special Ledger Indicator "T" is indicated in the "Target Special Ledger Indicator" field
    - The Sp. Led. Indicator F is set as "Down Payment/Down Payment Request"
    Would it be possible for you to let me know which other actions still need to be performed (customizing settings, OSS notes implementation, etc...) to solve the issue?
    Thanks in advance for the help.
    Davide Smaldone

    Dears,
    thanks for your switf reply. The problem is indeed due to the fact that Special ledeger indicator IS defined as a "Down Payment/Down Payment Request".
    Further more Spec. Led. Ind. "T" is customized as follows:
    - Several associations between Recon. Accounts and Alt. Reconciliation Acc. are indicated
    - The flag "Commitments warning" is activated
    - It is defined as a "Down Payment/Down Payment Request"
    Both Spec. Led. Ind. "T" and "F" have account type "K".
    What can it be, then?

  • Down payment request from billing

    Hello
    Can somebody answer what are 
    Down payment request from billing
    Down payment settlements from AR
    Billing value from AR (down payments excluded)
    Where I can find these values for a particular Sales order (transactions , tables, etc)
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Coming to your first question:Down payment request from billing
    In general,we are going to create this down payment request for prepaid sales orders only.
    Goto T.Code:VA02,Enter the order number.
    Goto item details-->Billing plan.
    Here you can maintain the necessity values for your down payment like the billing documnet type and down payment % value etc,...
    While creating the down payment,there should be a block for final invoice.
    This is down payment request from order.
    2.Down payment settlements from AR .
    For this down payment invoices the special G/L indicator will be defaulted as F.We have to pay that amount through F-28 T.Code.
    While maintaining the values for this downpayment in F-28,don't forget to maintain the special G/L indicator as F and remove the tick mark for Normal O/Is
    You can pay the necessity amount and the remaining amount has to be maintained in difference postings such that the not assigned value should be 0.00.After paying this amount the indicator will be turned to "A".You can check it in FB03 T.Code and change the layout in this transaction and include the field special G/L indicator.
    3.Billing value from AR (down payments excluded)
    This means that if the downpayment % is 0 then it is nothing but the final invoice amount.In this case it comes into picture.
    It is equivalent to order and final invoice.And down payment is dummy here.
    T.Code:VA02
    Enter teh order number.Click on document flow.
    You can find the downpayment and final invoice numbers.Make a note of them.
    VBFA is tha table where you can find the subsequent documents.
    FBL5N is the T.Code where you can find the cleared and open items for your customers.
    All your cleared downpayments will be appeared here along with the clearing document number.
    BSAD and BSID are the tables.
    FB02/FB03 are the T.Codes for checking accounting document entries.
    Regards,
    Krishna.

  • Message no. GLT2001, New general ledger, Down payment request Fixed asset

    Hi,
    I have posted down payment request with target special gl indicator for fixed asset.
    When I run payment program in proposal there is a mistake:
    Message no. GLT2001
    Diagnosis
    The online document splitting is active in your system. Here, each document is assigned to a accounting transaction variant and each document row to an item category.
    You determine for each business transaction variant which item categories can or must be posted here.
    The following error occurred for the document you entered:
    Item category 07000 in accounting transaction 1000, variant 0001 is not allowed.
    Please help me with this issue

    I guess you want document splitting.
    So now you need to check the GL account you have, that you are trying to post to. You need to check your automatic posting settings, so do you require a BA, PC or Segment as standard in document splitting?
    Whatever is required the system requires. So for example you need to make sure a default value can be worked out.
    You can do this by using constants or having default entries per GL account.
    Please award points if useful.

  • Down payment/ Down Payment request

    Dear there !
    Anyone tell me diffirence between Down payment/ Down Payment request and process produce. Give me example
    Please send guide docs step by step to me
    My email: [email protected]
    Thank for all

    Downpayment is an advance given to Vendor.
    As the vendor management is with Material Department any advance paymes due to vendors are intimated to the finance department through the Downpayment request.  This also ensures internal control.
    Downpayments are considered as special GL transactions in SAP.  They must have separate indicator to identify these transactions from other regular GL transactions.
