Credit Managament: avoid credit block for down payment invoices

1) Downpayment - when an order is blocked, can we create a billing
document of the downpayment request created in slaes order. Logically
the customer wants to pay for this downpayment immediately and process
the order
Notes: If credit management is activated at sales order level and In
Milestone Billing scenario or Project Sales order scenario, at Sales
order level we have a Downpayment (Z0000 - Downpayment) Milestone
usage and Other Milestone invoice Usages.
The business requirement is Customer need to pay the downpayment
invoice before executing the Sales order.
In SAP when the Sales order is blocked for Credit Management, system is
not able to create the Downpayment invoice also. to creat the invoice
we have to release the order first. However we dont want to release the
order but want to receivce the downpayment and then may be we can
manually release the order and process. The reason is suppose we have
an automatic release to production or PR or creation of service order,
we would like to process them only after the downapayment, now for
creating the wownpayment invoice for receiving the downpayment, we have
to release the order which shall further process the order
automatically. Please suggest a solution for the same to avoid the
credit block for the Downpayment invoices.

I think this can be enabled easily.
For the combination of Credit Control Area, Credit Group and Risk Category, you should have enabled the Dynamic/Static credit check, you can configure it such a way that it only gives you a warning message and doesnot block your sales order. This should solve ur problem

Close Open Amount on A/P Down Payment Invoice

Hi,
I have the following scenario:
I have created an A/P down payment invoice for 1000$
Create an Outgoing Payment for this A/P Down Payment Invoice for 1000$
This payment is closing the A/P Down Payment invoice
Create an A/P Invoice for 800$ - apply this amount from the A/P Down Payment invoice (updating Amount to draw to 800$). The A/P invoice will close.
The issue is how to get the money back from the supplier closing also the open amount of 200$ from the AP Down Payment Invoice.
I have tried to apply an A/P credit memo to the A/P Down Payment Invoice but the system does not display the open amount from Down Payment invoice.
Another way I have tried to create a manual A/P Credit Memo to BP and manually closing the open amount on A/P Down Payment Invoice but the system would not allowed me to cancel or remove the open amount on the Down payment.
Do you have any other ideas?
I am working with SAP B1 2007 PL42.
Thank you,

A/P Down payment invoice cannot be drawn to credit memo

Hi Experts
When i try to draw a A/P down payment invoice into a A/P credit memo, it gives me an error like Basetype mismatch what could be the reason for this ?
Thanks & Regards

Hi!
You need to use Copy From option to book Credit Note on Down Payment. Also, if your Down Payment is Reconcilled (Payment Done) you need to cancel the payment first. Make sure the Downpayment is in OPEN status.

Credit management and credit exposure

Hi experts,
Pls anybody clarify my doubt in Credit management.
I activated the credit control areas update as 000015(Open delivery and billing document value).And activated dynamic credit management "Automatic credit control".Now i explain with some example how it working. Fixed credit limit for customer A Rs.30,000/-, Receivables amount 22,000/-. Now if create a sales order for value >8000 i m not getting the credit lock waring messages.
(I.e) i am creating one sales Order for value Rs.9,000/-.(So credit limit crossed and not getting error msg or waring messages)
After that creating another sales order for same customer i am getting Warning msg like"Credit limit crossed_____amount".
So finally, CCR Rs.30,000/, Recei Rs.22,000/- but i can able to make even Sales Order value for Rs One lakh. I want here to block sales order should not be create.
Thanks in advance.

When a sales order is created , only the confirmed quantity is taken for pending sales value even if sale order qty is more
Check OVA8 setting , open deliveries and open orders should be selected
You can set reaction status as warning or error.
Pricing procedure - Subtotal should be A . This will update structure s066
The above condition will work only for order creation . For sales order ammendment you have do the same setting for credit group 02.
If Dynamic credit check works with credit Horizon date . It is better to have static credit check.
Check MC30 after creating sales order whether structure s066 updated for the order.
check and confirm

How can we reject a Sales order after first Down payment invoice for Italy?

Hello,
As a legal requirement in Italy the Down paymenty have to be transformed into real invoices, another legal requirement is that an invoice cannot be cancelled it has to reversed by a credit memo.
I would like to know in this context how we can reject a sales order line once a Down payment invoice has been emitted.
When I do enter a reason for rejection in the sales order line I receive the message : V1036: Subsequent documenst exist for item XXX and then V2432 Cancellation not possible. Down payment request already created.
I can create a down payment credit memo in order to cancel the down payment invoice but how can I get rid of my SD requirement in MD04 if I cannot reject the sales order line?

Hello,
have you tried using a recjection code which is not relevant for billing?

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

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

Using the Validation you can do i hope, because - there are two fields which are relating to the down payment.
BKPF-BSTAT - Document status

Using the above fields you can track the vendor line item and stop from being posted.

Vendor ageing report for down payment bucketwise

Hi
I have paid many downpayment to various vendors. Now i want the ageing report for the same (i.e. bucket wise i.e. 0-30 days, 31-60 days and so on).
This i am getting for vendor invoices in TCode: S_ALR_87012085 (Vendor payment history with OI sorted list).
Please let me know if the bucketwise report is possible for the downpayment too.

Hi,
Vendor ageing for down payments as well as invoice i use to see from T.code FBL1N by creating layouts.
Choose Arreas after net due date from layout and for that column you can apply a rule that from 0 to Lessthan or equal to 30.
Like that you can create the layouts. In FBL1N you can give this layout (down) so information come in that format.
The one disadvantage is that you have to select manually the layouts and you can see only one ageing information at a time.

Sankar
