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,

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

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.

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

Sd-delivery should be linked to advance payment-

on 17 jan 2012 sales order no (1000)raised for rs 5,000,00
advance payment received on 20 jan 2012 rs 2,000,00
validity of the sales order(1000) is on 30 jan 2012
on 21 delivery is to be taken for rs 3,000,00- sys should through error because advance payment is for rs 2,000,00-
so delivery quantity should be changed to rs 2,000,00 so system should accept the delivery

Hi
For your requirement check point below
1.Set creditmanagement at delivery level, and customer credit limit as ZROO in this case system allow delivery only for advance payment,if advance payment is crossed system will through error.
2OR you need to be set validation by using exit to compare particular customer advance payment before processing delivery .if delivery amout is more than advance payment through the error message.
I hope these point give some clarity.

Advance Payment by Customer

Dear Guru's,
The client want to have advance payment in the billing document print out.
e. g. the customer will pay crtain % amt as a advance payment before creation of sales order. i.e if the order value is 1000 and the adance is 200 then the billing should be of 800 only.
We dont want to use down payment here.
Pl advise.
Regards,
Arunava Sahana

Hi,
You can try the following method. You define a discount condition type with absolute vale and no access sequence to it and it should be manual and statistical(So we can aviod passing this value to accounting). Then user will use this value as advance payment and deduct this value from Gross and it will be the net value. Make the changes in the script aswell to get this printed along with the net value. Kindly please let me know If you need any more information on this.

Using of cash journal for advance payment to vendor or from customer.

using of cash journal for advance payment to vendor or from customer.please give advice?

Hi,
Set up a new transaction for "Advance Payment to Vendor" in Cash Journal IMG. The menu path in IMG is Financial Acct --> Bank Accounting --> Business transction --> Cash Journal --> Create, Change, Delete Business Transactions. Transaction Code for this configuraiton activity is FBCJC2.
Enter Company Code, Business Transaction Type as "K" and Cash Journal Business Transaction as "Advance Payment to Vendor". This will work if you are paying to Vendor from Petty Cash.
Check Receipt from Customer is supported if you take it in Cash Journal and then later deposit to Bank. But check payment to Vendor should be handled trhough either automatic payment program or outgoing payment transaction.
Hope this helps,

Pop up in Sales order of Advance payment of Customer

hi Gurus
Actually i have a query that when i am going to create the sales order the systemshuold pop up the dialouge box indicating the customers's advance payment if its exceeding that advance payment
bcoz the customer pays in advance the money to the company for the the material which has he ordered
so whats the setting for this
Suitable answers will be rewarded
Regards
Amol gawai

Dear Amol,
I think your issue can be addressed by using Credit control area. Please do the following:
a) Define a credit control area for the customer.
b) Maintain credit limit as 1 Rupee T-code - FD32
c) Whenever the customer gives you a advance payment the same shall be entered in the system thru FI route and using the while FI posting in "More Data" the relevant Credit control area should be entered.
d) By doing the above the advance payment received from the customer shall be reflected as "Special Liability" in the Credit control area (FD33). Status Tab in FD32.
e) Now this advance payment will act as the credit limit of the customer. So after this if the Sales order value exceeds this limit the Warning or Error message can be set.
Hope the above works for you.
REWARD if it helps you!!

Ajinkya

Advance payment report required

Dear guru
generally in our plant for advance payment we have to intimate the account department for release the payment against advance or PI or any other terms.
i want the report which can show me that which supplier payment is pending (for advance only)
at present i m using FBL1N. i didnt get the required report from this
Regards
Devesh

Hi Devesh,
There is no standard report to address just your specific requirement. However as others suggested you need to rely on the line item reports with specific selection criteria which you might already be doing.
Else develop custom report to suit your specific requirements.

A/R Advanced Payment Steps Confirmation

I need some confirmation regarding advanced payments from customers. I have read in the forums that advanced payments can not be linked to a sales order and the suggestion was to use the remark field to make note of the payment. Using the remark field is not an option for me. So as I understand it the steps for processing an advanced payment from a customer would be as follows.
1.     Create sales order for amount $1,000.
2.     Create A/R Down Payment invoice for $1,000
3.     Create incoming payment $1,000
4.     Create delivery off the sales order
5.     Create invoice with $0 balance due from the delivery
Correct?
It just seems steps 1-3 are a lot of work that could be avoided if SBO simply added a deposit field to the sales order window that posted the payment once the sales order was saved. Iu2019m not a programmer so I just have to work with what comes out of the box.

I am having an issue applying a payment to the reserve invoice. Initially I posted my advanced payment steps as follows.
1. Create sales order for amount $1,000.
2. Create A/R Down Payment invoice for $1,000
3. Create incoming payment $1,000
4. Create delivery off the sales order
5. Create invoice with $0 balance due from the delivery
Based on Gordon's suggestion step 2 above would be an A/R Reserve Invoice. After doing so I moved on to step 3 and entered an incoming payment. I then selected the checkbox next to the A/R Reserve Invoice in the rows below in the "Incoming Payments" window. Lastly I click the "Add" button, but B1 throws up a message "...amount to be paid is not matched to existing transactions. Do you want to post this amount as a Payment on Account?"
I don't understand why I am getting this message. If the payment I've entered is matched to the reserve invoice what's wrong? Am I missing a step or do something out of sequence? I even created the delivery from the AR Reserve Invoice and still had the same problem applying the payment to the AR Reserve Invoice.

Handling of Down payments / advance payments retail POS interface

Hi all,
Does anyone know if there´s a best practice to handle down payments with POS interface?
thanks in advance
Mariana

Hi Mariana,
Pl use the following link:
help.sap.com/bp_retailv1470/documentation/EN/Store%20Business%20Offline%20EPOS_EN_PRES_V147.ppt
IDOC for down payment is WPUTAB01.
Entries will be as follows:
If a customer is making a down payment of Rs.1000/-
Cash a/c DR 1000/-
Customer or Site CR(Retail Stores if u dont maintain individual customers) 1000/-
When sales are closed say for example Rs.10000/-
Cash a/c DR Rs.9000/-
Customer or Site DR Rs.1000/-
Sales CR Rs.10000/-
In SAP u need to create a Special G/L with Indicator A and this special G/L will be assigned to your main a/c in Tcode OBXR.
F-29 Post Customer Down Payment ,F-32 Clear Customer ,F-39 Clear Customer Down Payment are the FICO transactions which will be used. Pl contact yr FICO
consultant for further details.
