Blocking AR Down Payments Requests

Is there any way to stop an open AR Down Payment Request from appearing on the Incoming Payments screen?
I want to use AR Down Payment Request as a means of printing a document that is linked to a sales order, so I have no interest in the DPR as a financial transaction. (The information to be printed is slightly different to the sales order so I cannot print directly from that.) The DPR will be closed once the documentation is produced, but it can stay open for some time to allow for changes.
Unfortunately, open DPRs then appear on the Incoming Payments screen. Is there any way that I can stop that? I tried the Payment Block checkbox on the Accounting tab of the DPR, but it does not seem to make any difference.
Regards,
Douglas

Hi Douglas,
as Suda says above, it is a system definition that all documents that may be paid with an inconming payment are available for selection in that window.
Since your sole requirement is to print a document from the DPR, have you considered saving it as a draft document & then print it? That way you could make all necessary changes & reprint, yet the document would not appear in the incoming payments window.
You can remove the 'Draft' watermark in the print preferences.
All the best,
Kerstin

Vendor down payment request over PO value

Hi All,
I have a requirement for vendor down payment request amount compare to PO value checking.
I have PO with total value - 600 USD.
When I create down payment request using F-47, I input amount 1000 USD.
The system never show me any message.
I want the SAP to block me from posting down payment request over PO value.
I've read in the forum, to change message type F5373 with error type. But the message never appear in my F-47 screen.
Anyone can help me, what am I missing here ?
Thanks,

Hi,
You are right about message F5 373. But this is applicable at the time of the Payment of the Advance i.e. F-48. It is not available at the time of creating the Advance Payment Request against T Code F-47.
If you want to have this control in the Payment Request, then you will have to use the validation, which you can put with the help of your abaper.

Down Payment Request for a Purchase Order Type K

I am making a down payment request to a supplier where the purchase order is of type K.
At the time of recording the payment request (A-47) the transaction meets the cost center of the purchase order and, because of having a message class (KI 281), blocks the release.
The question is:
At present the validation of the message class (OBA5) should validate the account of the purchase order or the supplier's account of the F-47?
Rgs,
Ivair

Hi
KI 281 message says that the GL account has to be created as a cost element. So, please create a cost element for the GL you are using (KA01). Hope this is the problem.
If this does not work, please let me know.
Thanks,

Problem in Down Payment Request

Hi,
In SAP documentation for the down payment request, it says we have to use the BO BSEG, event CREATED and wf WS00400011, WS00400021, WS00400022 according to various approvals. But when i use those, the workflow is not getting triggered. Event linkage is activated. Nothing is showing in trace also. In BO, for the CREATED event, the description says that "Posting Item Created with Payment Block". I think there is something related with payment block. Can anyone know what is it mean ??

Check if there are some start conditions associated with the event (SWB_COND).
Secondly check thru SWUE if the workflow is indeed the reciever of the event or not. Might be the case that in PFTC you can see the linakge active but in SWE2 it is still marked inative. It has happened with me so just want you to double check.
And ofcourse you can always try refreshing the buffer !!

Create workflow to release Down Payment Request (F-47) before automatic Pyment

Hi Experts,
I use basic workflow for parked document to release all invoice document from AP. But i get problem with down payment request.
In my company, we run down payment by F110 according to down payment request. We use workflow to release parked document before post. But down payment request is created as noted item, so that, it isn't go to workflow when create. Please give me advice how i can manage Down Payment Request. Ex: we want block down payment request when being create and have release function to permit down payment by F110.

Hi,
Using T-code F-47 - Down payment request against raise to possible as follows.
a) Purchase Order Document
b) Production Order
c)PM Order
d)Service Order
e)Process Order
f)Internal Order
Down payment request is not possible against to raise StockTtransfer Order(STO) and display error message.
So, you have to choose the above list only.
Hope, it is useful for you.

F-47 park and post option OR F110 block option for payment requests

HI experts,
current business scenario:
F-47 payment request by AP users
F110 payment run (including payment requests) by manager
so between F-47 & F110 system doesnt trigger for payment approvals
Business requirement:
After F-47 system should trigger workflow to concerned manager for approval
OR
At F110 (payment run) system should proceed after approvals if payment requests includes in the run
Limitation:
Business doesnt use F-48 ( post down payment) because check is processed by Bank
Pls suggest workflow after F-47 or at F110 which wil intimate the concerned manager
and stops &/ block the concerned payment till approval.
regards

Hi,
Now i got your point. your requirement can be achived using a ABAP development.
1) Create a Z table to store down payment requests (with all fields, those you use in F-47) and this table needs to be maintained via a Ztcode. (ZF-47). As soon as the user enter the DP request data in Ztcode, system should trigger the WORKFLOW and will send these requests to the manager's SAP Inbox. So once the manager approves few of them, those requests only will be processed by a Zprogram, which will create SAP standard DP requests using F-47 in background.
Note: Please make sure that, your Ztable should have one special field called STATUS, which will be depending on manager's approval. If the manager rejects it, then status should be automatically updated to the Ztable.
2) anyhow bank will automatically creates DP for all F-47 requests, which were pre approved above.
This logic should work and fits to your requirement.

Srinu

Dimension 1 Cost centre field is not able to edit in Incoming payment for Down payment Request

Hi Exports,
I am facing an issue on selecting Cost centres in Incoming payment screen.
Issue: While I am booking the payment entry for Down payment request, I am not able to select first Dimension cost centre in Incoming payment rows for down payment request document, the Second dimension is able to select and update. the field is in non-editable mode (only on specific document row)
Setup:
1. Two Dimension are enabled
2. In Separate Columns - Both Cost Centres are in separate column
The above issue is only for Down payment request, for other documents (Invoice) I am able to select and update cost centre
Please find below snap shot for reference
Kindly check and let me know the solution
Regards,
Kiran

Hi Gordon,
Thanks for your reply.
Yes agree, The Down Payment request is not a financial document but the Cost centres are able to select in Down payment request rows, no issue at all in this case.
In Incoming payment screen it is necessary to select Cost centres because it has financial implication using down payment request with related to currency difference or Bank charges (both are Expense accounts) and DR assignment is mandatory in this case.
And you have to notice one thing in above issue, I am able to select second dimension cost centre and it is allowing to edit and update the cost centre on respective row. Only issue is specific cell (dimension 1 cost centre) is not able to edit.
Even I am not able to process payment entry without selection of Cost Centre on first dimension, the system is blocking and displaying the error message "DR Assignment is mandatory on Dimension 1 for specific account"
Looks like bug, please clarify
SBO version: 9.0 PL 11

Kiran

Down payment request from billing

Hello
Can somebody answer what are
Down payment request from billing
Down payment settlements from AR
Billing value from AR (down payments excluded)
Where I can find these values for a particular Sales order (transactions , tables, etc)
Thanks

Hi,
Coming to your first question:Down payment request from billing
In general,we are going to create this down payment request for prepaid sales orders only.
Goto T.Code:VA02,Enter the order number.
Goto item details-->Billing plan.
Here you can maintain the necessity values for your down payment like the billing documnet type and down payment % value etc,...
While creating the down payment,there should be a block for final invoice.
This is down payment request from order.
2.Down payment settlements from AR .
For this down payment invoices the special G/L indicator will be defaulted as F.We have to pay that amount through F-28 T.Code.
While maintaining the values for this downpayment in F-28,don't forget to maintain the special G/L indicator as F and remove the tick mark for Normal O/Is
You can pay the necessity amount and the remaining amount has to be maintained in difference postings such that the not assigned value should be 0.00.After paying this amount the indicator will be turned to "A".You can check it in FB03 T.Code and change the layout in this transaction and include the field special G/L indicator.
3.Billing value from AR (down payments excluded)
This means that if the downpayment % is 0 then it is nothing but the final invoice amount.In this case it comes into picture.
It is equivalent to order and final invoice.And down payment is dummy here.
T.Code:VA02
Enter teh order number.Click on document flow.
You can find the downpayment and final invoice numbers.Make a note of them.
VBFA is tha table where you can find the subsequent documents.
FBL5N is the T.Code where you can find the cleared and open items for your customers.
All your cleared downpayments will be appeared here along with the clearing document number.
BSAD and BSID are the tables.
FB02/FB03 are the T.Codes for checking accounting document entries.
Regards,
Krishna.

CO Object Assignment Error while posting Down Payment Request

User is raising a Down Payment Request for the purchase of an Asset through a Purchasing Document. This Asset Master has got the cost center and WBS Element assigned in it.
System while saving the DP Request is throwing an error that CO Account Assignments has different Profit Centers
I have also checked the cost center master but the profit center assigned there is correct only. Should I check the OKB9 settings ? If yes, for which GL Account do I need to check ? Where else can I check the CO Object Assignments for profit centers ?
Requirement is critical. Please help.
Thank you

Hi,
Good evening and greetings,
Please have a look in GGB1 (Profit Centre Substitution), there may be some rule which is overriding the OKB9.
Please reward points if found useful.

Vendor Down Payment Request on WBS (F-47)

Dear Fellows:
I have came across a problem that while creating a Vendor Down Payment request (T.code: F-47) on WBS, my system is not stoping me over budget exhaust. I have Budget of 100 and i create request for 101, system allows it and post the document.
Vice Versa if i create a Vendor Down Payment request over Commitment iten, then system check the budget and generates message.
any good solution to it would highly be appreciable.
Regards.

Hi,
The budget availability check is done only against the assigned values and
Following entried does not contribute to the Assigned value
    V: Value type not relevant (<> Act./Plan/Stat.Act./Stat.Plan/Commt)
    D: Delivery
    S: Settlement to object with no budget control
    R: Revenue cost element
    C: Cost element is exempt cost element
    M: Minimum from actual + commitment and plan per order value update
    P: Plan value is not on apportioned order / network
    B: Plan Costing Single Position
    S: Funds Commitment in Balance
So the down payment is not covered for the calculation of the assigned value.
Hence no check is carried out for the Availability check.
hope its useful.
Reward points if useful.
Thanks..

Vendor down payment request to MM purchase order

We want to post vender down payments request and make the relation with the purchase order.
Up to now the systems ask for the purchase order number (mandatory) and the line item number (mandatory)
As we have with our customer PO's with sometimes more than 100 line items, we do not want to relate down payments request for every PO line item.
Is it possible to link the total amount of the down payment request to the purchase order as a whole, so without the line item numbers.
Thanks
Martien

Dear Martien,
we have had the same problem here at our company. In ECC6.0 we haven't found a solution for this.
We are doing a workaround:
We post the down payment request only on one, the main item in the purchase order. But this causes negative effect on cash management.
If you find a other solution, so please tell me.
Best regards.

Down payment request to the purchase order as a whole for f-48

Hi Gurus
I want to post vender down payments request and make the relation with the purchase order.
Up to now the systems ask for the purchase order number (mandatory) and the line item number (mandatory)
As we have with our customer PO's with sometimes more than 100 line items, we do not want to relate down payments request for every PO line item.
Is it possible to link the total amount of the down payment request to the purchase order as a whole(we can say as Header), so without the line item numbers.
Actually looking for any screen exit is available for that or any other way.
