AR Down Payment Invoice Does Not Reflect in BP Master Data...

We have placed a sales order for a BP.
We select payment means and accept the payment
In the background a AP Down Payment Invoice is created
When we view the BP master data - the account ballance window does NOT reflect this "down payment"
If we select the golden arrow at account ballance, uncheck "reconciled transactions" you can see the payment and AP down payment and they clear each other out.
The problem is that when the final invoice is created it is not obvious that a down payment has been received. Even if you are simply working at the BP master data window, it is not obvious that a down payment has been received. I belive our process is correct because If you click the TDP box, the payment is listed and will be applied to the final invoice.
It simply does not alert the user that a payment had been received.
What are we doing wrong?????\
Thank you!

You are right this feature is only available in Version 2007A. There account posting happen purely due to the pay SAP has been designed and the configuration of GL Accounts.
To make fundametal change to the core product is very difficult if you explain me your business process exactly as you do, I could think of alternatives.
Please let know.

How to block a delivery when an A/R Down Payment Invoice is not paid?

1. Create and add a Sales Order
2. Create and add an A/R Down Payment Invoice based on the created Sales Order (set DPM % to 50)
3. Create and add a Delivery based on the created Sales Order
The delivery is not blocked.
Is there an easy workaround/alternative to ensure goods are stopped from being delivered when a customer hasn't paid a certain amount upfront?

Hi Suda,
Unfortunately my usage of the sql queries is a bit rusty and am not sure if I am doing this correctly.
Next to that I don't exactly see how it should work (hence my comment being rusty - haven't used this very often). I see that it checks the AR Down Payment Invoice document and lines, but how it checks to which sales order it is connected to stop the delivery.. Plus I always want it to stop any delivery when an AR Down Payment for any percentage hasn't paid in full untill it has been paid/approved by someone to be delivered. If no AR Down Payment has been done, there is no issue.
Anyway I have copied your query to the Query Generator and saved it.
I created an approval procedure based on delivery documents and based it on the saved query.
Added a sales order and created a Down Payment Invoice based on the sales order with 40% that has to be paid upfront. Created a delivery based on the sales order and added the document. I only gotten an internal error (it went so quickly I can't see the actual whole message because I get the created message straight after), but it created the delivery anyway.. (same as you described maybe?)
I'm missing something obviously, let me know what to do.

Petronella

Depreciation area set in Asset Class does not appear in asset master data

Depreciation area does not appear in the asset master data however it is set in the Asset class. If other asset is created in the same Asset class that depreciation area is automatically set in the asset master (it proofs that it is not a problem with Asset class).
I tried to set that deprecition area directly in the asset master data but all the fields are blocked for changing (is it possible to change that?).
What should I do as I need to post on that area ?
Thank you,
Jean

Ok Zaid! thanks,
But what treatment should I give to that asset? Because now it is not being evaluated in that area but we need to do it.
The asset was created in the prior exercise (year).

Jean

Creation of A/R Down Payment Invoice based on Sales Order not logical

When creating a A/R Down Payment Invoice based on a Sales Order you
have the option to create multible ones. Which by itself could be
usefull to create one of 50 % for a certain day and decide they need to
pay another 25 % at a later date.
But SBO does not track what already have been posted. Therefore you can
create a sum more then a 100% without warning or blockage.
Tested this in SBO 2007 A SP:00 PL:00
Scenario:
Sales - AR>Sales Order
Create and post a Sales Order
Sales - AR>A/R Down Payment Invoice
Create an A/R Down Payment
Select the BP and copy the Sales Order
Set DPM to 40%
Post the A/R Down Payment
Sales - AR>A/R Down Payment Invoice
Create an A/R Down Payment
Select the BP and copy the Sales Order
Set DPM to 100%
Post the A/R Down Payment
Sales - AR>A/R Down Payment Invoice
Create an A/R Down Payment
Select the BP and copy the Sales Order
Set DPM to 70%
Post the A/R Down Payment
Making the total for the Sales Order 210% worth of Down Payment
Invoices without warning/blocking. I would expected that you would only
be able to set the rest sum %. For instance first scenario I entered
60% therefore setting the second Down Payment Invoice to a max of 40%
Untill you have used up the 100% and you cannot select the Sales Order
in question..
If multible users do the same work, SBO doesn't show that it has
already been done. Same if you forgot you already created it you can
still create one. Plus sometimes it will happenyou create the Down
Payment Invoice and not paying attention you create the first one with
a 100% and later with the intended percentage..

Hello Petronella,
you are right that B1 is not checking the total value of DP created from the Sales Order.
The logic and checking procedure here is only between Sales Order -> Delivery/Invoice.
DP Invoice is considered as transaction related to document the receipt of the money (parallel to the sales process). Between the moment of basing of DP to Sales Order it is still possibility to adjust Sales Order as there is no posting behind Sales Order.
The question is what would be a checking procedure in case that on Sales Order there is based Delivery and DP? What would be the system priority to take into a consideration?

No Freight cost on AR Down Payment Invoice

Hello,
My customer needs to create an 100% AR Down Payment Invoice based on a Sales Order with freight costs. But this is not copied across, plus you don't have the option to add this either..
How can this be done, I don't see an option.
Regards,
Petronella

Hi,
Could that be manipulated with SDK?! (The down payment module does not have the option to add additional expesnes. It will only work with Line item totals.)
Thanks for the other option, I'll advice the client about this.

How to close an AR Down Payment Invoice

SCENARIO:
The customer added in SAP B1 an sales order, then registered an AR Down Payment Invoice for the all amount.
After that he registered the incoming payment and at the end he registered a AR invoice linked to the previous AR Down Payment.
The amount of the AR invoice is less than AR Down Payment one.
The customer asks if is possible to close the AR Down Payment for the open amount creating a "payment on account" of the same amount.
Creating an "payment on account" give the customer the possibility to show the amount on the Account Balance Details.
Thank You in advance.
Emanuele

1. AR down payment invoice is closed when you raising incoming payment. So this AR down payment invoice will not appear in incoming payment selection list
>>> Yes
2. Further due to partial payment, only AR invoice will be in open status and this AR invoice will appear in incoming payment selection
>>>the problem is that the AR invoice is registered with a less amount than the amount of the incoming payment
3. If you want use Payment on account for balance amount, are you able to choose customer account at GL account field?
>>>the AR invoice is just closed with incoming payment
4. I don't think it is possible to post balance amount via payment on account. To get correct BP account balance, we have to post at customer account.
>>>Yes. But if you open the report Sales --> Sales Report --> Open Report --> Incoming payment you continue to see the open amount of the Incoming payment.
After all my idea is to register a not real AR invoice (really not exist) to link to the open amount of the Incoming payment:
01: In the report Sales --> Sales Report --> Open Report --> Incoming payment I will not have more open amount
02: After that I will adjust BP account balance with a post at customer account
Thank you for your opinion ....

Error while creating money market transaction - payment details not retrieving from BP master data.

Hello friends
I have error while creating financial transaction. Payment details are not retrieving from BP master data to creating financial transaction screen.
No payment details entered for transaction
Message no. FTR0030
Please advise to set off this.
Thanks & Regards
Swami

Dear Swami,
Please select one payment details in Business partner and use assigned tab from top selection parameter from standing instruction to assigned bank details to product type.
It will open other window like above example for each product of treasury, then assign bank details to product. Once assigned and save.
System will pick payment details in deal automatically based on business partner.
Hope this solve your issue.

Can not void a check win paid from a down payment invoice

I am working on a problem where we can not void a check to adjust the posting date of the payment.
It would seem that the issue lies with the AP down payment invoice since the error message is
"Cannot cancel a document with down payment that was drawn to invoice {3703-6]"
any ideas would be greatly appreciated
Thanks,
John-Michael

Dear,
Please first check whether the payment did select some down payment or not.
If it did, for your issue, I am sorry to say that we don't have workaround from the point of view of system. We would like to recommande customer to consult with his accountant in order to by-pass the mistake he had done
using standard application processes.
After double confirmed with development,this issue is currenct system behavior.The reply is:
1) payment for the down payment invoice cannot be cancelled if it was
withrawn to AR invoice. It can be done after the AR invoice will be
credited.
However, we have another problems:
2) the invoice cannot be credited if it closed/reconciled.
And one more:
3) cancelling of the manual reconciliation does not open the invoice.
So according all these information the system behaviour is correct and we can do nothing here.
Thanks

Customer Down Payment invoice (from delivery) not automatically assigned

If I create a Down payment invoice from Sales Order (and I paied it) on the final invoice the sistem automatically assigne the down payment invoice on the final invoice for the order.
If I do the same think but crerating the Down payment invoice from the delivery (and I paid it) when I create the final invoice I need to assigned it manually.
SBO 8.81 PL 06
I haven't found any set up for this, so I think is an error the sistem must work on the same way if the document is copied from the Sales order or delivey.
Someone know if there is some set up? or I need to open an error message to SAP?
Thanks

My question is:
If I make a sales order.
I create a down payment invoice using copy from SO.
I make the incomuing payment for the down payment invoice.
I create the delivery from the SO
I create the invoice from the delivery
The system apply automaticaly the down payment invoice to the invoice (because I select a delivery that is linked to the so that I used to create the down payment invoice).
If I make a sales order.
I create the delivery from the SO
I create a down payment invoice using copy from delivey.
I make the incomuing payment for the down payment invoice.
I create the invoice from the delivery
The system DO NOT apply automaticaly the down payment invoice to the invoice (even if also this document is linked to the delivery that I use to create the down payment invoice).
I know that I can select it manually. But I can select it manually also if I use the SO to create the down payment instead of the
delivery. Why if the situation is the same in the firs case the system do it automatil^cally and in the second case I need to do it manually?
Of course if I create a Down Payment invoice without selecting any document (SO, delivery..) the system don't know if you want to apply the payment to the final invoice.
But If I select the delivey to create the down payment (the same if I select the SO): I want to apply the down payment to the final invoice of this delivery and not to another delivery.

A/R down payment invoice not allowing tax

Hi Experts,
We use SAP Business One 2007A PL-08. While posting A/R down payment with percentage on DPM (For example 50%), the system is not calculating GST on it though we put the GST tax code in the invoice.
Any idea how this can be resolved?
Is there a workaround for this?
Thank you,

Thanks Gordon. As a workaround, we created a dummy item number for the GST to be input into the A/R Down payment invoice. The problem here is that when we add a line item for the GST using this item number, the G/L account is defaulting to customer deposits account and its now allowing us to change the G/L account to the relevant GST G/L. Is there a way we can change the G/L?
Please let me know!!
Thanks

AP Down Payment Invoice not yet Draw Report

Hi All,
I'm trying to make a query of the AP Down Payment Invoice not Yet draw Report. Can any one tell me which table I should refer when I need to make a query? I checked the ODPO tables that's no field indicate that the Downpayment not yet draw. I also tried the ODPI table when I use that to draw the downpayment invoice to AP invoice. When I query that table it return me 0 line.
Please advice.
Looking forward advice and reply.
Thank you.
Regards,
Foong Yee

AP Down Payment Clearing Account has debit balance if it is not drawn to AP invoice.
Use General Ledger Report,Select AP Down Payment Clearing Account,Select this G/L account,
Select reqd. posting dates,Click Ok.
Now you can see AP Down Payment Invoice not yet Draw Report.

Get list of related Down Payment Invoices to Delivery note

Hi all,
I would like some tips on how to get the "Open Amount" on any "open" deliveries in B1. the scenario here is that some sales order may have Down Payment Invoices (DPI) associated with them. I dont seem to find any "direct links" between DPI's and Deliveries once the sales orders are converted to Delivery notes.
The only option I can think of at this time is to write a query that will link the following:
Delivery Rows BaseEntry (DLN1.BaseEntry) >> Sales order Rows DocEntry (RDR1.DocEntry) >> DPI header table (ODPI)
This scenario would break if there are lines on the delivery that originated from seprate orders.
Any help you can provide is appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
There is no "direct links" between DPI's and Deliveries. You can link them through Sales Order.
Thanks,
Gordon

Delinking a/r credit note from a/r Down Payment Invoice

Dear All,
Is there a way to delink credit note that has been created for a A/R Downpayment Invoice in SAP Business One 2005 SP2 PL50?
thanks,
Monil.

Hi,
No, this is not possible. The document flow is closed. You need to create a new Down Payment.
It is possible to cancel the reconciliation, but this will not reopen The Down Payment or Credit Note and will only create inconsistency when upgrading the db to version 2007. The documents will be linked, but not the journal entries of the documents.
Hope it helps,
Jesper

Down Payment Invoice and A/R Invoice

Dear Expert
I have been experiencing a scenario where my client wants to create A/R down payment Invoice to their Customers. But the down payment may or may not be received before issue of the (balanced) A/R invoice and further the client sometimes would have to issue the down payment invoice together with the (balanced) A/R invoice to customers.
The problem is that SAP B1 does not allow me to refer or adjust the down payment in A/R invoice unless there is Incoming Payment received against the down payment . But as per this scenario the payment may or may not be received before raising the (balanced) A/R invoice.
I know that using the A/R down payment request could solve the billing issue, however, it can not reflect account receivable of customers which can not satisfy my client's need.
Could you please suggest some workarounds to overcome this limitation?
Thank you very much
Regards
Elton

Dear Expert
Let me clarify my client's scenario more to see whether you could give advise.
My client's business is project based and the invoicing flow is as below:
Phase 1 -
Invoicing 30%
Phase 2 -
Invoicing 30%
Phase 3 -
Invoicing 40%
Total 100%
However, invoice for phase 2 maybe issued before invoice for phase 1 is paid and so do invoice for phase 3.
There is also possibility that invoice for phase 1 is paid while invoice for phase 2 is not at the time when whole project is completed. Invoice for phase 3 therefore has to be issued before invoice for phase 2 is paid.
The installments for A/R is not applicable in this case since sales would be realized at the time when the A/R invoice is issued.
My client would have to realize the sales upon completion of project phase. A/R down payment invoice almost satisfy this scenario however, no A/R invoice of the balance with reference to the down payment invoices can be issued before the down payment invoices are settled.
Can anything be done to overcome this limitation?
Regards
Elton
