Capitalization of Down-payments against AUC

Dear Experts,
Please help me in knowing that when do we use the following GLs assignments in T-Code AO90 :
1. Acquisition: down payments
2. Down-payments clearing account
How do these operate, I believe :
1. when a down-payment is posted with a Purch Document (PO) reference & is open the entry and at the time of settling Internal Order the postings would be Acquisition: down payments Debit and Down-payments clearing account credit.
2. Now again when the down-payment is cleared against a Invoice, then in perhaps in the next settlement run of Internal Order the postings would be Down-payments clearing account debit and Acquisition: down payments credit.
Please correct if i m going wrong & help me understand this concept.

Regarding Down Payment against Asset purchase

Hi SAP GURU
i have one queries regarding down payment made against asset puchase order
I created one asset code, create the PO with accoun assignment categories A, made a advance payment against reference to this PO no .
Now the problem is , asset capitalised date is automaticaly come same as down payment date and it is reflecting in asset explorer , T code - AW01N.
Can any body suggest what is the right way for the whole scenarion , or i am making some mistake .
Is there any config setting i am missing.
Please help me out , issue is very critical.
Thanks in advance.

Anjan

Hi Anjan,
From your below query, I infer that you have created asset PO and made down payment against PO without goods and invoice receipt. Am I right?
Are you following Valuated goods receipt or non valuated goods receipt concept?
Valuated goods receipt: Asset will be debited at the time of goods receipt
Non valuated good receipt: Asset will be debited at the time of invoice receipt
If you follow valuated goods receipt concept, then at the time of making down payment, asset should not be debited (whatever the value date/ capitalization date be). Please refer SAP note number 310368 (valuated goods receipt paragraph) for reference. In that they have clearly mentioned the steps to make down payment against asset PO without debiting to asset and without any error message. You have to make F5 378 message number from error message to warning message and in posting key 29 and 39, you have to supress the asset related fields. If you have done the above settings, then system will not show any error message to update G/L account in AO90 transaction code for the Acquisition: down payments and Down payment clearing - 2nd and 4th field.
Here we are following the valudated goods receipt and initially I faced the same issue and we sorted out after following the steps mentioned in the above sap note number.
Hope this helps. Assign points if useful.

Down payment against the Internal Order - for Capital Expenditure

Dear friends
I am getting an error while making down payment against the purchase order.
The order of my entries or steps are as follows:
Created one internal order for Capital WIP with budget and availability control activation.
Created one purchase order against a vendor with reference to the above Internal Order.
When I am making the down payment to the vendor through tcode:F-48, the system throwing an error
"Define Cost Elements for Down Payments".
Can any one please explain why this error is coming. When I checked in Internal orders, there is a TCode: OKEP for Define Default Cost Elements for Down Payments.
System is asking for cost element, but where as what ever the down payment we are making is nothing but advance which is current asset. Why system is asking for cost element?
Can any one give me the guidance how to handle the issue.
Thanks in Advance
Kiran Kumar A

The reason is when you want the down payment for AUC to be capitalised, then you would need to create cost element for Downpayments.
Normally as per design of SAP, down payment being a Balance Sheet Account (Current Asset as you rightly mentioned) doesnot need / accept an Cost object, as a special case since down payments for AUC needs to be capitalised and hence need to be carried to Controlling (Internal Order) by creating Cost Element for Downpayments.
Go ahead and create the cost element. That would resolve your issue.

Asset Down Payment for AUC

Hi,
I am having a query in Asset Down Payment for AUC
I have configured for both Acquisition: down payments and Down-payments clearing account in 'AO90' in asset module.
But I am still not clear why Down-payments clearing account account needs to be configured.
The entry I am getting are
1. F-47 DP request - I enter the Asset number here. Noted item.
2. F-48 -DP- an entry is created as follows:
Vendor     Dr     1000
Bank     Cr     1000
Acquisition: down payments     Dr     1000
Down-payments clearing account     Cr     1000
3. Now the Down-payments clearing account shows a credit balance all the time.
How should this be rectified

Hi Vidya,
Option 1: When you follow based on your example, ie., asset debited during down payment entry, asset entry will be reversed when you adjust down payment against invoice.
Option 2: Down payment request and down payment made against AUC asset with reference to Purchase order:
With reference to PO: Please refer sap note number 310368 valuated goods receipt paragraph and they have clearly mentioned about making down payments against asset/AUC purchase order without getting debited to asset account.
You have to make F5 378 message number to be a warning message instead of error message and you have to suppress asset related settings in OB41 posting keys 29 and 39. Posting key 39 is useful when you have down payment request.
If you have done this, then it will show only warning message during down payment that "purchase order is related to asset" and it will not be debited to asset account. Also after following the above steps, it is not necessary for you to give Acquisition: down payments G/L and Down payment clearing G/L in AO90 transaction code.
Hope this helps. Assign points if useful.

when i enter the po number in purchase document field, immediatly asset number coming and showing error message
You cannot use this transaction type to post to this asset
Message no. AA834

The transaction type entered belongs to transaction type group 15. According to the specifications for this transaction type group, posting with transactions types belonging to this group are only allowed in specific asset classes (for example, asset classes for assets under construction).
The asset to which you are posting belongs to class 9000 (chart of depreciation SHV). You cannot post to this class using the transaction type you have entered.
Procedure
Check the asset number entered. You may want to allow posting with this transaction type group for the asset class of the asset.

Error at the time of down payment against the PO

Dear friends
I have created a purchase order for Rs.10000 is net and gross amount for Rs.12000 which is including 2000 for taxes etc.
When I am making a down payment request for Rs.12000/- system is throwing an error order value will be exceded. System is allowing me only for Net amount of Rs.10000, beyond that it is not allowing me.
(Here I have changed the warning message to Error message on request of the client, as the down payment against the purchase order should not allow more than Purchase order value.)
Is there any provision to make the down payment on gross payment basis instead of net amount.
Thanks in advance

I have created Spl G/L ind. M for assets and maintained the setting in FBKP (For 13110020, Spl GL 2131000)
Defined 2131000 Acqisition : Down payment account in AO90. This account is a reconciliaiton accnt for Assets.
But when posting F-48 for this vendor, system throws an error : Account 21310000 is not a reconciliation account for account type K
We are doing Non-valuated Goods Receipt for asset.
Any pointers to this?
Regards

Hi
1. Create a new field status group as a Copy of G067 in OBC4
2. Supress Asset No in this FSG and assign it in Vendor recon accounts related to Down payments
3. Now you create a DP request from F-47 specifying the PO No
4. You will get an error msg F5 378, which you can convert to Warning in OAB5
