Automatic clearing of Customer Advance Payment

I want to perform the following scenario
Scenario: At the time of entering advance payment there should be a reference field e.g. contract number etc. And this reference field should also appear while entering invoice in the system. This reference field will be used to clear the advance payment with the respective invoice automatically.
i am doing following steps to perform the above scenario
Posting Advance Payment through t.code f-29
then entering the invoice through t.code.  fb70
then clearing both the transactions through f.13
is this a right procedure which i am following or is there any better solution for the above scenario

You should use below for customer advance process:-
- Posting Advance Payment through t.code f-29
- then entering the invoice through t.code. fb70
- then clearing both the transactions through F-39

  • Automatic clearing of customer invoice

    how to configure automatic clearing of customer invoice against payments received.

    Hello,
    Create a rule in the OB74, whether you want to clear the customer invoice based on XFER (Reference) or ZUONR (Assignment). Then on a periodic basis, like monthly once you can run the transaction F.13 to clear the customer invoices against the payment automatically.
    Can you see the test run result and the run it in live mode.
    Hope this will help your requirment.

  • Customer Advance Payment

    I have a business scenario and I don't know the best way to implement it.
    My client receives an order and creates a Sales Order. The customer has to make the advance payment. Once the payment is made, outbound delivery is made and goods are issued. It so happens that during the stock transfer, sometimes goods delivered are (marginally) less than the goods ordered. Hence, my client owes certain amount of money to the customer. The amount is noted both by the customer and my client.
    Next time the order is received, the payment is adjusted and if there is still some amount left it is further carried over. This has to be replicated in the SAP system.
    I first thought of going with the normal sales cycle and clearing the remaining amount with a credit memo. But in reality the amount is not returned. Then I thought of adjusting the credit memo in the invoicing of next Sales Order but I don't know if that is possible too.

    Hello,
    Thank you for appreciation. We are all giving our point of views. The solution provided by others above is also perfectly workable.
    1. Now there is no need to change Credit Limit everytime.
    Since your requirement is to create Delivery after receiving advance payment from Customer I have suggested this simple solution. Where you have to set Credit LImit (T-Code FD32) of Customer as zero or 1 USD.
    Now make settings in Credit Management (T-Code : OVA8) such that system will block Delivery document if Credit Limit is exceeded. (Hope you are aware of Credit Mianagement settings, if not, kindlt search the forum & you will get necessary guidance)
    2. Let me present you a example:
    Sales Order 1001 - USD 2000
    Credit Limit - ZERO (which will block the Order for Delivery)
    Customer Payment Received - USD 2000
    New Credit Limit (after posting Payment Receipt thru T-Code F-28) - USD 2000
    Release the Order thru T-Code VKM3
    Actual Good Issued to Customer (Invoice Value) - USD 1900
    Now when above Transaction is completed the CREDIT balance in Customer A/c would be USD 100
    Thus the Credit Limit now would be USD 100 (This will be automatically set & not setting is required for this)
    Now, Sales Order 1002 - USD 3000
    Credit Limit - USD 100 (as explained above)
    Customer Payment Received - USD 2900
    New Credit Limit - USD 3000 (Payment of USD 2900 + USD 100 already available)
    Actual Goods issued to Customer (Invoice Value) - USD 3000
    Balance in Customer A/c - 0.00
    Hope this clarifies,
    Thanks,

  • EBS: Automatic clearing of customer open items

    Hi Experts,
    I am setting up the electronic bank statement with format MT940 structured with field 86.  As part of the scope, business is requesting to ensure that customer open items gets cleared automatically when the bank statement is uploaded through transaction FF.5.  Because bank statement contains entries relating to payments by customers into the bank account.
    But here the problem is that customers will provided ONLY the name.  They do NOT provide either the invoice reference number (XBLNR) or our accounting document number (BELNR).
    I have searched a lot and found out that I can use the BAdI FIEB_CHANGE_BS_DATA to get the SAP customer number from the customer name given in Notes to Payee fields of MT940.  Kindly correct me if I am mistaken.
    Now from the derived customer number, I need to find out the related open items which match with the amount given in MT940.  So, how does the system know which open items can be cleared for the given amount.  Because the paid amount (by the customer) can be for an individual invoice or for a couple of invoices together.  Do I need to use the enhancement user exit FEB00001 to specify the system to use fields "Distribute by age" and "Automatic search" field in transaction F-32 ?
    Or is there any other better way of achieving this objective of automatic clearing of open items.  Asking our customers to provide the invoice reference number is not an alternative since it has already been tried a lot for long without any result.  So, business has requested for the set up in our system to ease this process of automatic clearing of open items.
    Thanks you so much for your time to help me on this.  I will be waiting for your kind responses.
    Regards,
    Sridhar

    Hi Experts,
    I got this resolved by using the enhancement FEB00001.  If the field "Distribute by age" is activated through this enhancement, then system will be able to match the paid amount and the combination of open items for automatic clearing.  If there is no exact match, then automatic clearing through FF.5 is not possible as indicated in SAP Note 124655.
    There is no more necessity to use BAdI FIEB_CHANGE_BS_DATA.  Complete relevant logic can be maintained directly in the enhancement itself.
    Have a nice day.

  • Customer Advance Payment - Distribution to customer and risk deposit accoun

    Dear Sir,
    We have one scenario where we receive advance payment from the customer and want to show 90% to customer account and 10% to a GL account for Risk Deposit.
    How we can achieve this using Terms of payment or any other concept other than adding two line items while posting the advance payment.
    Thanks in Advance.

    You can meet your requirements with
    1. Special GL indicator (let say C- Customer deposit)
    2. Instalment pyament terms.
    First at the time of entry itself in Incoming payment take 90% as regular payment and the balance as a special GL "C"payment.
    Also craeate a payment term with 90% immediate and balance at a later time as you wish.

  • Automatic clearing fro customer using SAPF124(f.13)

    Dear All,
    I would like to know if can we clear open items of one time customers using F.13 . I have configured in table TF123 (OB74) still the open items were not picking in f.13 and specifies that No clearing procedures were carried out.
    Let me know the procedure to be used to set open items clearing automatically for customer.
    Our scenario is:
    One time customer(B2C), no incoming postings will be made. Customer will be cleared directly using F-32.
    Requirement is to clear automatically using reference number.
    Thanks for your feedback
    Regards
    Anuradha

    Hi Anuradha,
    1)
    Does Reference number has matching text on invoice and payment ?
    Check if your OB74 settings looks like the below.
    Chart(Blank)   AccTy(D)  From acct (1)     To account(9999999999) Criterion 1(XBLNR)
    Chart(Blank)   AccTy(D)  From acct (A)     To account(Z) Criterion 1(XBLNR)
    If this does not work, try out with Criterion 1 (SGTXT).
    Please let me know if this works.
    Thanks

  • Clearing customer down payment without VAT code

    Dear Freinds
    For normal cleared items ( between invoices and incoming payments) the VAT code doen't appear.
    But while clearing a Customer Down payment request, when we are using a sp. GL Indicator it is asking for tax code
    I want to clear customer down payment without tax code.According to the local legal requirement in the VAT report should not appear  any clearing with tax code even if Tax code has no tax.
    Can anybody help me?? I tried changing the tax category of Sp. Gl Recon account to blank but then it doesn't allow to post a down payment request with tax applicable.
    Rgds
    Sudip

    Hi Ravindra
    If we remove the tax category, then the problem is when we create a down payment request and do billing where tax rate is applicable, Entry will not happen in Accounting.
    Only thing which I need is that at time of clearing the down payment request, putting tax code should not be mandatory.Just like when I am clearing a normal invoice (Inv. and incoming payment) no tax code is required.

  • Customer Down Payment

    Dear Gurus,
    Have a question on Customer Down Payment.
    We first create a request, next when the Down Payment is received then we clear the request against the payment received.  When the invoice is raised can we do automatic clearing of the Down Payment with the Invoice?
    If yes, what would be the process... do we have to clear the Down Payment first manually and then we do automatic clearing?
    Do let me know this, thanks in advance.
    regards,
    Raj

    Raj,
    Here is how it goes :
    1. Down Payment Request ( F-37 - Need to post it to Alternative Reconciliation Account YYYYY - not part of the double-entry bookkeeping)
    2. Down Payment ( F-29)
    3.Invoice (FB70 )
    4. Down Payment Clearing -( F-39)
    5.Payment and Clearing

  • Customer Down Payment Process Russia

    Hi,
    We are currently in the process of implementing our Russian subsidiary into SAP ECC 6.0. In this process we are struggeling to find the correct setup for a specific business process:
    For a lot of our customers we are requesting prepayment. We want to handle this in SAP via the down payment process (as in Russia VAT needs to be paid on down payments). So steps are:
    We create down payment request for a specific amount.
    Customer does down payment + down payment is posted in SAP.
    Customer places an order.
    We deliver the product and issue invoice (invoice needs link to down payment against which the invoice will be cleared).
    Down payment needs to be cleared.
    The part we are struggling with is that the down payment the customer does is not for a specific order. It is a lump sum amount which could cover 1 or more futur orders. So for instance down payment can be cleared partially with 1 invoice or serveral invoices can clear 1 down payment.
    Question is: How can we handle this correctly in the system? How can we link the down payment to the customer invoice (there needs to be a reference of the down payment in the customer invoice)?

    The customer invoice will not be in FI but will be triggered from SD. Russian requirement is that the down payment against which the invoice will be cleared needs to be printed on the invoice.
    Also, this seems a lot of manual work (manually transfer the dow payment F-39, manually clear the invoice with transferred down payment F-32, at the end also manually clear the original down payment with the down payment transfers F-32).
    If there are only a limited number of such customers this is feasible, but if there are a lot then it becomes cumbersum).
    One way of doing it more efficient, I thought, was to manually clear the invoice directly with the down payment via F-32. You can then post the open difference for the down payment surplus again as a down payment. But again this only works manually. I think there is no way to do this automatically (clear invoice with down payment based on amount and against latest down payment + post difference to down payment reconciliation account). I tried via transaction J3RCALD, but this does not seem to work.

    Hi
    Have u posted the down payment through special G/L indicator only and what are the posting keys used.
    Check the credit control area in the Down payment document .
    The last option you can do below
    Kindly cancel the down payamnet document and generate the fresh down payment request and check the same
    Run the report RFDKLI20.
    Once again check the below prerequisites for credit management to work in Sales and Distribution:
    1.Assign credit control area to company code
    2.Maintain the credit limit in FD32 with details of risk category and the credit limit value
    3.Do the settings in OVA8 -automatic credit control area with combination of Credit control area/Risk category /credit group.
    4.Assign the credit groups to the sales and delivery document types.
    5.Maintain the Subtotal 'A' in the pricing procedure against which value the sytem should check the credit
    6.Maintain the rel for credit in t code OBXr for down payment amount top be considered in  Credit limit

  • Unwanted printing of advanced payment when printing a sales order or pick

    It will be great to have an option of disabling the automatic printing of the advanced payment incoming payment when printing a sales order or invoice.
    The option is currently not available on the document printing options.

    No print sequence for sales order is setup.
    But even before on 2007 version, it was SAP default to print always the incoming payment of an advanced payment on every sales order or invoice.
