Advance given to Customers

Hi SAP Gurus,
My client has a requirement to pay advances to customers.
I found that F-29 can be used only to receive downpayments and that F-48 can be used only for vendors. Am I correct so far?
One option is to use F-21 and F-30 for this process but the concept of downpayment request will not be available.
Please let me know of any option that would permit me to use the down payment request option for making a downpayment to a customer.
Regards,
Siva

Dear Siva,
Probably you can create the customer also as a vendor code, attach the custome code inthe vendor master and the vendor code in the customer master.
Once this is done, for all purposes, the open items of both the customer code and the vendor code will appear in all the transactions.
In case you want to make a down payment to the customer then you can raise a request on the vendoe in F-47 and then make a payment in F-58.

  • Advance Received from customers is appearing as Debit balance...

    Hi All,
    Please let me know what could be done for the below issue...
    We have noticed an error in our books where the
    Advance received from customers is appearing as a debit balance at few business
    areas.
    Awaiting for responses

    Hi,
    Please note that advance recived from customer should stand as a liability in financial. Advances GL accounts are mapped in OBXR. Will you please tell me complete entry that generated. May be it is a reversed document. Please check it if it is a reversal of an advanced wrongly booked earlier.

  • How to Capture "Presentation given to Customers" in CRM

    hi All,
    I would like to know the way to capture the activity performed by Sales Force like presentation given to customers.
    How Can this be acheived?
    Regards,
    Piyush

    Hi Stephen,
    Thanks for your response.
    This will be captured as Activity.
    However when Interaction log is created, it takes Customer(Account) - Contact 1: 1 pair.
    For ex. Contact C1 of Customer A1 has been contacted and interaction log is created for Contact C1 with Customer as A1.
    This Interaction log will appear in the history of Contact C1 and Customer A1.
    In the case presentation is given to more than one customer, then how to enter the data?
    Let's say there are 3 contacts C1, C2, C3 who represent Customers A1, A2, A3 respectively at the presentation.
    Note: C3 is the contact person of Customer A20 too.
    Here sales Rep has to log the call for the pairs  C1 : A1
                                                                         C2 : A2
                                                                         C3 : A3.
    My worry is how/Where should I enter the pairs C1 : A1
                                                                         C2 : A2
                                                                         C3 : A3
    Hope this clears the situation.
    please let me know if you need more information/Clarification.
    Please Guide.

  • Deposits given to Customers

    Dear Experts,
    What is the T codes and procedure to post deposits given to customers
    And subsequent clearing when deposit is received back from that customer?
    Also is there any report showing deposits lying with customers
    Regards
    Anand

    Create a special GL indicator for giving trade deposit to the customer. The special GL transaction type for this indicator should be others. This is not a down payment received from the customer instead the reverse way.
    When you pay this trade deposit make customer transfer posting using T. code F-21. Below entry would be passed
    Debit Customer (SP GL indicator)
    Credit Bank Account
    Please note that in this case you have manually create cheque and pay the customer. If you need a system generated cheque you would have to create a deposit request first and then do F-18 (Outgoing payment + Form print)
    When you receive back the payment use T. Code F-28 and clear open items against the special GL indicator instead of standard open items.
    Following entry would be passed
    Debit Bank Account
    Credit Customer (SP GL indicator)
    Hope this helps you.

    Advance receipt from customer amount which tebles it will updated? which T.code used Which tables and fields are updated

    Regards
    KSP

    Hi:
           SAP provides standard functionality for advance receipts from customer by making using of special GL indicator. Special GL indicators are defined in OBXR for customers and special GL account as given in OBXR against recon account is updated as soon as posting is done. Document type normally used is DZ for booking customer advances as can be seen in OBA7
    F-29 is used for booking customer advance receipts with special GL indicator (normally it is A). Posting keys are 9 and 19 which are automatically picked by system.
    Tables involved are same customer table BSID for open advances and BSAD for cleared advances. Effects of advance posting can be vet from FBL5N..

  • Vendor advance report by using entries in FBCJ

    HI All,
            My client has 4 business locations. So I opened 4 cash journals for each location and map all the cash journals to a single cash GL which wil reflect in balance sheet or trial balance. when making entries using cash journal,they used to take advance agaisnst expenses in business transaction and passed entries using vendor.They asked me a report where how much advance was given to each vendor will be found out.But i didn't found any report.Then I told them to make entries via F-02 by using posting key 29 and special GL indicator.Then by using report FK10n thier problems get solved. But for this I have to open different cash GLs for each location .My question is how can I map all 4 Gls to a single GL which will show as a summerised  cash GL in trial balance or balance sheet.Please help
    can I get any report (advance given to each vendor) by making entries in FBCj.If not then please help me to solve this issue.

    Hi Biraja,
    You cannot post vendor advances using Cash Journal (FBCJ), You need to create a Cash Clearing GL to use the further process.
    1. In FBCJ at the time of vendor advance you need to select Cash Clearing A/c System will post below accounting entries.
    Cash Clearing Account -
    Dr.
    To Cash Main A/c----
    Cr.
    2. You need to transfer this entry in Vendor A/c (F-48)
    Vendor A/c (Spl GL Indicatior)------Dr.
    To Cash Clearing A/c -
    Cr.
    3. Clearing of Cash Clearing Account (F-03).
    Now you can find all the advances made for vendors in Vendor Reports.
    Regards,
    JA

  • A/R Advanced Payment Steps Confirmation

    I need some confirmation regarding advanced payments from customers.  I have read in the forums that advanced payments can not be linked to a sales order and the suggestion was to use the remark field to make note of the payment.  Using the remark field is not an option for me.  So as I understand it the steps for processing an advanced payment from a customer would be as follows.
    1.     Create sales order for amount $1,000.
    2.     Create A/R Down Payment invoice for $1,000
    3.     Create incoming payment $1,000
    4.     Create delivery off the sales order
    5.     Create invoice with $0 balance due from the delivery
    Correct?
    It just seems steps 1-3 are a lot of work that could be avoided if SBO simply added a deposit field to the sales order window that posted the payment once the sales order was saved.  Iu2019m not a programmer so I just have to work with what comes out of the box.

    I am having an issue applying a payment to the reserve invoice.  Initially I posted my advanced payment steps as follows.
    1. Create sales order for amount $1,000.
    2. Create A/R Down Payment invoice for $1,000
    3. Create incoming payment $1,000
    4. Create delivery off the sales order
    5. Create invoice with $0 balance due from the delivery
    Based on Gordon's suggestion step 2 above would be an A/R Reserve Invoice.  After doing so I moved on to step 3 and entered an incoming payment.  I then selected the checkbox next to the A/R Reserve Invoice in the rows below in the "Incoming Payments" window.  Lastly I click the "Add" button, but B1 throws up a message "...amount to be paid is not matched to existing transactions. Do you want to post this amount as a Payment on Account?"
    I don't understand why I am getting this message.  If the payment I've entered is matched to the reserve invoice what's wrong?  Am I missing a step or do something out of sequence?  I even created the delivery from the AR Reserve Invoice and still had the same problem applying the payment to the AR Reserve Invoice.

  • WBS elements for Customers and Vendor, Bank  entries....

    Hi SAP Guru's,
    For revenues and Costs we can trace them  thru WBS elements entry in FI at the time of actaul amount sepent.
    But for making the Advance payments to Customers and vendors or for any other Capital purpose, How to track the payments projects wise?
    in f-29 for f-48, there is no option of giving the WBS elements. Pls help How to  the WBS elemts filed  Mandotory in FI Documents for all the entries posted in FI for vendor, customer, Banks accounts also?

    Hi,
    This is possible if you configure posting down payment in CO. You do it via OKEP transaction. The, after checking that you have configured number ranges (KANK), you can reconstruct your down payments in WBS via OKBG. You can see this customization steps under: Project Systems - Costs - Actual Costs - Update Down Payments.

  • Advance Payments in Sales Order

    Hi,
    Say, Customer Terms of Payment --> 50% Advance ; 30% Dely; 20% Receipt.
    The customer can issue Letter of Credit Also.
    Scenario:
    Customer PO value / Sales order value  : USD 5000/-
    Advance to be paid : USD 2500 (50%)
    There may be a scenario where the customer shall pay the Advance - USD 1500 by cash & remaining USD 1000 by Letter of Credit.
    But, when i create a Sales order for this PO, the Order value shall be USD 5000/- whereas the Letter of Credit shall only be for USD 1000. The system blocks the Sales Order for Financial Document value. This block should not happen as this will cause delay the delivery for no fault from the customer.
    Can anyone let me know the SAP standard process for handling Advance payment from Customers.

    Hi narain
    Your requirement can be fulfilled through down payment configurations
    Make the following  down payment configurations :
    item category group - 0005
    item category  - TAO
    for this TAO item category a billing plan 01 (milestone billing plan -01) will be assigned and its billing relevance should be I which is order related billing .
    billing doc type - FAZ
    cancellation billing doc type - FAS
    maintain a condition type AZWR which is down payment settlement , it has requirement as 2 and calc type as 48 acct key as ERL
    Now when you enter a material in line item 10 and go to item data , you can see the billing plan tab.
    now go to billing plan tab and enter the start date and enter the dates on which billing has to be done and then in billing request enter 0009 which is for down payment.once u press enter automatically it all the dates get blocked and billing request by default  you get as 1 , that you change it to 4 or 5 . 4 is for down payment at value basis and  5 is for down payment at percentage basis. and beside that there will be a billing type .assign billing doc type as FAZ. to all dates
    check the copying requirements are there at VTFA as 20 and for item category TAO copying requirements 23 is maintained or not 
    now do the cycle    OR - LF - FAZ (billing doc type)

  • Advance & Retension for a vendor

    Dear Friends,
    My Issue:
    For a vendor my payment should be:
    --> 10% Advance of the total Contract should be given to the Vendor
    --> when ever vendor invoices (partial invoices) we should cut 10%(on advance given before) and 10% Retension and pay him 80% of the value in invoice
    --> at the end of the final work we should pay to vendor the 10% retension which we are deducting with all the invoices
    Hope this is clear
    Reg
    Rajesh

    Dear Rajesh
    There are two scenario's for your problem. if the invoice comes from the Purchasing order or directly from the FI vendor.
    If it is from the Purchase order, pl follow the following sequence.
    1) pay the advance as usual which is the same for the both the cases F-48
    2) raise the invoice for total amount.Say Ex. invoice amount, 10,000, (retn amount,500, and recovery of the advance, 1000 and any penalty etc, 500) 3) using clearing to some of the balance sheet accounts for retention amount and recovery of the advance amount paid and if any penalty etc through P&L accounts through F-51for the balances of 500, 1000 etc.,)
    4) Now only you are able to see the open item for the particular vendor i.e. 10000-500-1000= 9500
    5) pay for the open item  9500 then the issue was solved.
    When you want to repay the retention amount, such time debit that amount and credit the bank account.
    I hope it will suffice you requirement.

  • Advance (Down) Payment

    Hi friends,
    We have the following business scenario:
    1. Delivery related billings
    2. For a very few orders, custom made, we take some advance from the customers which can be any adhoc amount
    3. Need to reflect this amount in the invoice as 'advance paid' and then the net as 'amount payable'
    From what I have investigated so far, it is possible only thru' milestone billing plans and that to for only Order related invoicing via condition type AZWR. Is my inference correct or is there any other way to do it?
    The requirement is so small i.e. just 30-40 such orders in an year that I am really wondering at the feasibility of getting into billing plans and then again, if it doesn't work with delivery related invoicing, it is a dead end.
    I thought of having a new statistical condition to print which can be manually entered in the order but that again, because it is statistical will not reduce the gross value of the bill down to the value after adjustment of this advance.
    Appreciate any short cut solution?
    Many thanks.

    1) How do you restrict the new debit note type to create only with reference to this order? i,e what/how/where do you use your custom formula?
    I set the mandatory reference in the sales order type customizing
    2) How do you manage the discounts/taxes here? The new condition type is defined at the end in the Pricing procedure? What step?
    I set the condition after the net amount, so it takes care of all discounts.
    taxes are excluded because are calculated even on the down payment document. It depends on your fiscal regulations.
    3) Yes, Gross amount, advance paid and net amount.
    I cannot reach the system so I cannot have alook to the condition type, I remember it was a normal value discount condition.
