F-47: Down Payment against PO

Hi all,
When making a down payment request to a vendor in F-47, I also want to make reference to the PO. The field is available under the label 'Purchasing Doc', however when saving the transaction, I am getting the message 'Purchasing Document does not exist'.
Why is this so? Is there some configuration I need to do in order to link the down payment to the PO and not just the vendor?
Thanks for your help.
Nas

Hi Antony,
Thanks for your reply. Actually, my issue is I want the user to enter the field Purchasing Doc in tx. code F-47 so that the down payment request is linked to the PO. But despite the drop down of Purchase orders in the field, I am getting the error <Item 00000 of purchasing document 4300002463 does not exist>.
If I am not able to enter the PO, then the down payment will never be linked to the PO and there could be over payment to a vendor if multiple invoices are received from the vendor or if another user processes the invoice again.
Hope you understood my issue and thanks for your help.
Regards,
Nas

Down payment against Purchase order

Hi SAP GURU
i have one queries regarding down payment made against asset puchase order
I created one asset code, create the PO with accoun assignment categories A, made a advance payment against reference to this PO no .
when i enter the po number in purchase document field, immediatly asset number coming and showing error message
You cannot use this transaction type to post to this asset
Message no. AA834
Diagnosis
The transaction type entered belongs to transaction type group 15. According to the specifications for this transaction type group, posting with transactions types belonging to this group are only allowed in specific asset classes (for example, asset classes for assets under construction).
The asset to which you are posting belongs to class 9000 (chart of depreciation SHV). You cannot post to this class using the transaction type you have entered.
Procedure
Check the asset number entered. You may want to allow posting with this transaction type group for the asset class of the asset.
Can any body suggest what is the right way for the whole scenarion , or i am making some mistake .
points will be awarded for useful answers

sai krishna

last week i also faced this problem.
Please refer sap note number 310368 valuated goods receipt paragraph and they have clearly mentioned about making down payments against asset purchase order without getting debited to asset account.
You have to make F5 378 message number to be a warning message instead of error message and you have to suppress asset related settings in OB41 posting keys 29 and 39. Posting key 39 is useful when you have down payment request.
If you have done this, then it will show only warning message during down payment that "purchase order is related to asset" and it will not be debited to asset account. Also after following the above steps, it is not necessary for you to give Acquisition: down payments G/L and Down payment clearing G/L in AO90 transaction code.

Regarding Down Payment against Asset purchase

Hi SAP GURU
i have one queries regarding down payment made against asset puchase order
I created one asset code, create the PO with accoun assignment categories A, made a advance payment against reference to this PO no .
Now the problem is , asset capitalised date is automaticaly come same as down payment date and it is reflecting in asset explorer , T code - AW01N.
Can any body suggest what is the right way for the whole scenarion , or i am making some mistake .
Is there any config setting i am missing.
Please help me out , issue is very critical.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Anjan,
From your below query, I infer that you have created asset PO and made down payment against PO without goods and invoice receipt. Am I right?
Are you following Valuated goods receipt or non valuated goods receipt concept?
Valuated goods receipt: Asset will be debited at the time of goods receipt
Non valuated good receipt: Asset will be debited at the time of invoice receipt
If you follow valuated goods receipt concept, then at the time of making down payment, asset should not be debited (whatever the value date/ capitalization date be). Please refer SAP note number 310368 (valuated goods receipt paragraph) for reference. In that they have clearly mentioned the steps to make down payment against asset PO without debiting to asset and without any error message. You have to make F5 378 message number from error message to warning message and in posting key 29 and 39, you have to supress the asset related fields. If you have done the above settings, then system will not show any error message to update G/L account in AO90 transaction code for the Acquisition: down payments and Down payment clearing - 2nd and 4th field.
Here we are following the valudated goods receipt and initially I faced the same issue and we sorted out after following the steps mentioned in the above sap note number.
Hope this helps. Assign points if useful.

Down payment against the Internal Order - for Capital Expenditure

Dear friends
I am getting an error while making down payment against the purchase order.
The order of my entries or steps are as follows:
Created one internal order for Capital WIP with budget and availability control activation.
Created one purchase order against a vendor with reference to the above Internal Order.
When I am making the down payment to the vendor through tcode:F-48, the system throwing an error
"Define Cost Elements for Down Payments".
Can any one please explain why this error is coming. When I checked in Internal orders, there is a TCode: OKEP for Define Default Cost Elements for Down Payments.
System is asking for cost element, but where as what ever the down payment we are making is nothing but advance which is current asset. Why system is asking for cost element?
Can any one give me the guidance how to handle the issue.
Thanks in Advance
Kiran Kumar A

The reason is when you want the down payment for AUC to be capitalised, then you would need to create cost element for Downpayments.
Normally as per design of SAP, down payment being a Balance Sheet Account (Current Asset as you rightly mentioned) doesnot need / accept an Cost object, as a special case since down payments for AUC needs to be capitalised and hence need to be carried to Controlling (Internal Order) by creating Cost Element for Downpayments.
Go ahead and create the cost element. That would resolve your issue.

Swathi,
Need your help i have a strange situation

2) F-48 and document posted with document no= 15..... in company code = Us11 without payment block and the screen does not even show payment block, I had to check this from BSEG table
My question is
a) How and where does this payment block is triggered through configured and how to process next steps.
b) when I use F-48, how do we do the actual payment, is there a check printing and linking it to the KZ document or is check printing done outside the system and the KZ document type does not have any linkage.
c) If I do FB60 for a higher amount how do we pay partial amount.
Your response is appreciated.

Error at the time of down payment against the PO

Dear friends
I have created a purchase order for Rs.10000 is net and gross amount for Rs.12000 which is including 2000 for taxes etc.
When I am making a down payment request for Rs.12000/- system is throwing an error order value will be exceded. System is allowing me only for Net amount of Rs.10000, beyond that it is not allowing me.
(Here I have changed the warning message to Error message on request of the client, as the down payment against the purchase order should not allow more than Purchase order value.)
Is there any provision to make the down payment on gross payment basis instead of net amount.
Thanks in advance

Down payments against Asset PO

Hi,
I am posting down payments against a capex vendor for an asset PO. (Vendor reco 13110020)
I have created Spl G/L ind. M for assets and maintained the setting in FBKP (For 13110020, Spl GL 2131000)
Defined 2131000 Acqisition : Down payment account in AO90. This account is a reconciliaiton accnt for Assets.
But when posting F-48 for this vendor, system throws an error : Account 21310000 is not a reconciliation account for account type K
We are doing Non-valuated Goods Receipt for asset.
Any pointers to this?
Regards

Hi
1. Create a new field status group as a Copy of G067 in OBC4
2. Supress Asset No in this FSG and assign it in Vendor recon accounts related to Down payments
3. Now you create a DP request from F-47 specifying the PO No
4. You will get an error msg F5 378, which you can convert to Warning in OAB5

Down payment against a PO not to exceed the agreed %age of PO value

Dear friends,
Here's my problem:
Scenario 1.: While doing F-48 (downpayment to vendors), how can we ensure that the down payment made against a purchase order should not exceed the agreed percentage of total value? This means that advance should be made as per the payment terms given in the PO. PO field in F-48 has already been made mandatory.
For Example if 10% advance is agreed upon, then the system should not pay beyond 10%.
Scenario 2.: My client has payment terms with various vendors such that a part of PO value would be paid in advance. %age of advance may vary from vendor to vendor. Can this be done in SAP? Can we have such Payment terms in PO or vendor master with a provision by which either a Down Payment Request , for say 10%, is triggered as soon as a PO is generated or the system should not allow a manual downpayment (F-48) for more than the agreed %age?
Thanks,
Amit Bharti

Down payment against contract

Hi gurus,
do you know any possibility to link down payment to mm contract. Business process: We create mm contract. we need to pay some percentage of agreed value in advance (down payment). After down payment vendor make few successive deliveries. Contract is long term and we create PO for each delivery. Between deliveries can be few weeks, or few months. For each PO and GR against PO we receive one invoice. Invoice is partially closed with down payment (but not whole invoice, and not whole down payment). So all invoices are partially closed with part of down payment. For every big job we sign contract with vendor, so we can have few open contracts with same vendor in a same time. Agains each contract we create one particular down payment. all invoices should be closed with down payment which is linked for their contract.
What we need is link down payment to contract (contract field in DPR is text field and we can not chose from existing contracts), and to see in some report how much from down payment per contract left or to see which invoices are closed with particular down payment.
Is there any standard way to do this?
Thanks,
Anna

Hi,
Contract is outline purchasing agreement document but Purchase order is external purchasing document where commitment start with purchase order only with conditions.So advance payment can be configured and purchase order linked to it.

Capitalization of Down-payments against AUC

Dear Experts,
Please help me in knowing that when do we use the following GLs assignments in T-Code AO90 :
1. Acquisition: down payments
2. Down-payments clearing account
How do these operate, I believe :
1. when a down-payment is posted with a Purch Document (PO) reference & is open the entry and at the time of settling Internal Order the postings would be Acquisition: down payments Debit and Down-payments clearing account credit.
2. Now again when the down-payment is cleared against a Invoice, then in perhaps in the next settlement run of Internal Order the postings would be Down-payments clearing account debit and Acquisition: down payments credit.
Please correct if i m going wrong & help me understand this concept.

Down Payment against PO - Urgent

Hi,
I am MM consultant my issue
When user entering down payment in F-47
for a purchase oder the system is allowing the amount more than PO amount which is logically incorrect.How can I prevent this ?
Regards,
Chetan.

Hi,
At the time of down payment system will not validate the PO amount. At the time of payment against vendor invoice system automatically set off the balance amount to the vendor account
For Eg.: If you pay down payment more than PO amount and you posted an invoice against a PO at the time payment run system will posts a credit memo against a Vedor
OR
If you have posted a down payment less than the PO amount at the time of payment run system deduct the down payment from the toal invoice amount and it creates a clearing document for the balance amount
Hope this will helps. If it helps award me points
Cheers

Hi,
This is just an information pop-up, press enter and continue.
Follow the below mentioned steps;
1. F-47 - Create Down Payment Request (Here in selection screen specify all the necessary details (Doc Type - KA) and press enter, on this screen specify amount to be paid in advance and also specify the PO Document and line item and SAVE)
2. F-48 - Down Payment Entry w.r.t. Down Payment Request No
3. F-54 - Down Payment Clearing
At the time of MIRO, it will pop-up that advance payment is done to this vendor against this PO.
Also take help of your FI Consultant if required.
Note: - Go to FS00, and check Filed Status Group for Vendor Reconciliation Account, then go to OBC4, check the Filed Status Group, what you have maintained for the Vendor reconciliation account. Here go To Material management segment and put optional entry for the field of Purchase Order and save.
