Letter of Credit (LC) for vendor payments

Hi,
We have a case where a single LC will be raised at the time of creation of purchase order. The vendor will send invoices at regular intervals. We will need to clear the invoices against the single LC created.
How will we do this in SAP and how can we track the LC and the balance in the LC after a particular period.
My understanding is that a LC will be raised for a single vendor invoice and not for multiple invoices.
Please clarify.
Thanks.
Sembian

Hi,
Sorry i guess my question is not clear. It is not to link any LC with PO
The client will raise a single LC against any import vendor. Since these are large CAPEX related purchases, the vendor will send multiple invoices. The bank will adjust the LC against the invoices. Post adjustment the bank will send th advice to the company.
My question was how we can adjust multiple invoices against a single LC

Payment/Credit Limit for Vendors

Hi SAP Gurus!
Is it possible to impose a maximum payment/credit limit for Vendors in SAP?
I saw in this forums that it can be done through Contracts but in the contracts, you have to enter a material. Is it possible that you don't have a material and the contract will encompass all the transactions of the vendor?\
Hope to hear from you soon!
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You can make use of following Features of Contract w/o materials;
Item Categories in Contracts: -
Just as with purchase orders, you can enter an item category to define the item as an external service item, a consignment item, a subcontracting item or as a free-form text item.
Item Category M (Material Unknown)
Item category M is for entering contract items without specifying the material number.
Item category M is recommended for similar materials with the same price but with differing material numbers.
Example
Consider a contract item for different types of office paper. The various types of paper have the same weight, quality, and price. However, they differ in the following respects: One type is lined, another is unlined, and another has two holes on the left side for filing purposes.
How Do You Use Item Category M?
In the case of items of category M, you enter the short text (short description), target quantity, unit of measure, and price. As soon as a contract release order is created, the material number or a short text is entered (e.g. the exact type of paper, say, two-hole punched). The system determines the net price on the basis of the gross price entered, less any discounts.
Item Category W (Material Group)
Item category W allows you to enter a material group without entering the value or quantity of the contract item. Item category W is for value contracts only.
Example
Consider a contract for cable. The contract covers every type of cable on the vendor's price list. The exact type of cable is known only at the time a specific cable is ordered.
Instead of entering an item for every type of cable the vendor is able to supply, you could enter item category W and the material group (say, CABLE). The short text would indicate that the contract item covers all types of cable supplied by the vendor.
Each release order issued against this contract would then specify the actual type and quantity of cable (for example, double-shielded coax, 1 spool) as well as the price.
How Do You Use Item Category W?
When you create the contract item, enter the item category W, the short text, and the material group. You do not enter a price or conditions for the item. However, it is possible to specify conditions in the document header. For example, you can enter a discount in the header conditions if the vendor grants a discount on all Pos relating to the contract. The discount is automatically taken into account when the release order is created.
You can enter a material number in the contract release order. The corresponding material master record must be assigned to the same material group specified in the referenced contract item. If the release order does not have a material number, then it must contain a valid account assignment, such as a cost center.

Calculate due date for vendor payment

hi friends,
In my project i need to calculate the due date for vendor payment.as my client maintain different payment terms for different vendors am not able to pick the payment key from t052 table and calculate the due date.
do anyone have a solution for this......
prajith

Hi
You can insert Payment terms in Vendor master and also you can change or assign payment term while making transaction.
But first of all you should have payment term.

FEBAN - FB05 - error F5243 for vendor payment

Hello,
I kindly ask for a hint.
The vendor payment is included in eleclonical bank file.
From transaction FEBAN (Edit bank statement) for item which is not fully cleared we get to trans. FB05 (post with clearing) and try to post to account type K (vendor) - changed manually from D (customer) which is defaulted to K and vendor account number entered. The document type is not visible on selection screen when FB05 is accessed through FEBAN.
The document type for vendor payment should be KZ.
Somehow the transaction intend to hold DZ (customer payment) --> and when we hit enter an error message appears:
Account type K is not defined for document type DZ
Message no. F5243
Not sure what is driving this ...
Please, advise ...
Thanks a lot
Marcela

Hello,
Please check your configuration:
IMG => Financial Accounting => Bank Accounting => Payment Transactions => Electronic Bank Statement => Make Global Settings for Electronic Bank Statement
Give your chart of accounts
Double click on posting rules.
Check the document type given for the posting rule you are using to post.
You need to change from DZ to KZ.

Tables for vendor payments

Hi,
Are there any tables available in SAP for vendor payments.
I know some tables PAYR,REGUH,REGUP ETC.
But these are for after the printingof check is happened.
I want the table for manual payment,residual payment,advance payment etc.
Vendor invoices and cleared items will be stored in BSIK,BSAK,as well as these will be stored in BKPF,BSEK also.
In such a way vendor payments are all so stored in any other tables apart from BKPF,BSEG.
Kindly Reply......
Thanks in Advance
Radhika

When you raise a vendor invoice then it will be captured in BSIK, and as the payment takes place the value in BSIK will be cleared and the value appears in BASK. If the invoice is cleared or say the payment happened for the invoice then the cleared item will be captured in BSAK (Payment), there is no other table apart from these that capture the payment.
Just tell you requirement clearly.

Letter of Credit for Vendor Payments

Hi All,
We are implementing ECC 6.0 Version.
The client requirement is to create Letter of Credit for Vendors and to capture data relating issue of Letter of Credit, Terms of Payment and Expirition Date. Against a Single Letter of Credit issued to a vendor client may receive more than one Invoice till the Expiry period of the Letter of Credit and Value. Further, client may also amend the Old Letter of Credit by extending the validity period or the value of the LC.
I know that we can create letter of credit through Special GL indicator 'L'. But it is one Letter of Credit to One invoice for clearing. How to map one letter of credit to multiple invoices and how we can capture expirition date of LC.
Further same vendor can have multiple LC opened against them for different projects. Please let me know detailed configuration steps.
Best Regards,
Bhargav.

Grouping Credit Entry in Bank Account for Vendor Payments using Pay Wizard

Dear All
We are currently testing Payment Wizard for BACS Payments to Vendors . We have successfully posted payments to Vendor Accounts and to the Bank Account in GL. However we note each Vendor payment is credited to the Bank Account individually even though the Bank will take the payment in one amount for the Payment File Total.
Is it possible to credit the Bank Account with the Total Payment Run value as one amount only so that the credit matches exactly the manner in which the Bank will take the payment ?
I realise that we could process BACs through a dummy GL Account for the Bank and journalise to the Bank Account in total but would prefer to avoid this option.
Regards
Seán Lyons

Dear Seán,
Welcome you post on the forum.
Even though it is not ideal, you may not be able to avoid such additional clearing account since the way B1 works can not be changed.
Thanks,

Letter of credit functionality for imports

Hi Experts
W.r.t FT, the financial document can be used as LC.
1) Is it possible to use this LC (Financial doc- Transaction VX11N) for linking the import purchase order?
2) Is there any standard functionality to monitor the import purchase orders which involve Letter of credit?
3) Is there any userexit to enhance the existing VX11N to make use for import purchase order?
warm regards
marias

Hello Marias,
I regret to inform you that the functionality you request is not
implemented in the standard system within the Foriegn trade area.
" The documentary payment functionality (Letter of Credit) for vendors
is not available in SAP Standard System.
Documentary payments can only be created on the SD side for customer
but not for vendors.
At this time, there is no plan to develop this functionality. "
Please note that the Foriegn Trade functionality has been expanded and
is available in the solution product "Global Trade Services" (GTS).
As you are probably already aware information on GTS is available in SAP
Service Marketplace.

FB01 for vendor payments

Dear Experts,
My question is regarding vendor payment entry from transaction FB01. My requirement is regarding upload of mass vendor payment entries. The accounting entry generated through vendor payment transaction F-53 cleares the open invoice and posts the payment entry. We are trying to generate the same effect from transaction FB01. We can post the payment entry here as below:
Posting Key
25Dr                        Vendor
50Cr                        Outgoing Payment Clearing
We are also giving invoice reference in the vendor line item in this entry to clear the open item. But this entry is not able to clear concerned open item and payment from the vendor account. Someone please let me know what am i missing in this entry or I should do it from some other transaction.
Regards,
Aniruddha Mahalle.

Hi Aniruddha,
The transaction code FB01 will only post the document and it will not clear the documents. You can use the transaction F-51 for post and clear the document. Here you have to enter only credit entry i.e. bank clearing account after that select chose open items,enter the vendor code,select process open items, select the invoice, simulate and save the documents. It will post the document and at the same time it will clear the items also.

Scheme of Entries for vendor payment under EBS system

Hello Friends,
I am setting below the scheme of entries as I think is appropriate for making a vendor payment. The scenario is that we will make a payment to the vendor where the payment will be released through BACS (we are working for a UK based client). After the payment run is made the payment is not actually made for some reasons and are returned. Then we make the payment again and this time the payment run goes through smoothly.
I would request you to please let me know if I am wrong in the scheme of entries and if yes, what would be the proper scheme.
1.
When Invoice is raised (FB60)
GR/IR a/c        Dr        100
VAT a/c          Dr          20
    To Vendor a/c Cr            120
At this point there is one open item that is created in the vendor account.
2.
When payment run is made (F110)
Vendor a/c                          Dr              120
      To Unclear BACS a/c     Cr                     120
At this point the entries in the vendor account are cleared by entry no 1 and 2 and there are no open items.
3.
When Bank returns the payment as unsuccessful and we clear the entry (F-03)
Return BACS a/c             Dr          120
    To Vendor A/c             Cr                     120
At this point there is one open item that is created in the vendor account
4.
When payment is once more made and this time successfully
Vendor a/c                       Dr             120
   To Unclear BACS a/c    Cr                       120
At this point entries 3 and 4 clears the open items in the vendor account and there remains no other open items.
Can someone please confirm if the sequence is correct or is there an additional step involved for resetting of any document after entry 2 when the payment run fails?
Regards,
Suvarghya Dutta

Hello,
When you have done step 2, immediately you will not come to know that your cheque is failed, only when you receive the bank statement.
In that case I would not expect you to post to a different account "Return BACS a/c". I do not see any reason for this account. I would expect you to debit to the same account "Unclear BACS a/c", which has been used in order to make the payment.
If you are using a different account for reversal, then you have to take two accounts for reconciliation purpose.
MIRO
GRIR Account Dr
To Vendor Account
F110
Vendor Account Dr
To Bank Sub-account (In your case Unclear BACS a/c)
FF67 or FF.5
If successfully paid
Bank Sub Account Dr
To Bank Main Account
If returned or unsuccessful (*)
Bank Sub Account Dr
To Vendor Account
If you are posting the entry (*) through bank statement, then no need to use FBRA.
Use FBRA immediately once you run F110 and you know that you have paid the vendor erronously. But once it reached bank and bank has issued bank statement, I would not expect you to run FBRA, but I would like to use FF67 process.

Ravi

Query for Vendor Payment in SAP

Hello All,
I am a sap abap developer with little knowledge in SAP MM and SAP FI modules.
As per some requirement of my company ,i have created a PO then its GR and finally IR.
Now when i checked EKBE table (History per Purchasing Document) , i found two record in this table out of which one with
VGABE = 1 (Good Receipt) & another with VGABE = 2 (Invoice Receipt) .
Now my requirement is ,i want a entry in this table with VGABE = 5 (Payment) but i don't know how to do payment of vendor in sap so that this table will populate with a entry for payment type.
Please help me and let me know what will be the flow with tcodes to do the vendor payment in sap.
Please reply ASAP.
Thanks in advance.
Regards.
Abhinav Goel.

Hello Mr.Raman,
Thanks for your response to my query.
As per my company requirement i have to track duplicate payment made to the vendor against same PO.
So for that after completing the cycle PR-PO-GR-IR-F-53 finally i found two records in BSAK table out of which :
One record was with my accounting document no from my invoice receipt of type RE.
Another record was with the vendor payment clearance document with type KZ.
Now again i have done payment to the vendor using F-53 tcode and now i found one more record with belnr = last payment document no and augbl = new payment document no. with type KZ.
So if i use below mentioned logic to track for duplicate payments made to the vendor ,then it will be fine or if not can you suggests me the needful changes in the logic.
1.) Check If record exists for my belnr no from invoice recipt in bsak.
2.) Take AUGBL No for this BELNR No and check if record exists for this AUGBL with type KZ.
Note:Means payment is done to the vendor upto this logic.
3.) Now if with the found record with type KZ any other record found with type KZ it can be taken of as duplicate payment made to the vendor.
Please suggest me if above mentioned logic is fine.
Regards.
Abhinav Goel.
