Customer down payment request in F-37

Hello,
We have configured alternate recon accounts for down payments from customer in TC: OBXR. Here, we have config. spl GL indicators like F (down payment request) and A(Down payment) alongwith recon accounts. When i am posting down pay request in TC: F-37 system is displaying spl GL indicator A in Trg. sp. G/L ind automatically. But in configuration we have maintained indicator F for down pay request. When i am changing indicator from A to F system is giving error message like "Spl GL indicator F is not defined for down payments, message no.F5053". If i put indicator A then i can able to post request.
Can anyone help me in this....
Regards
Krishna

Hi Krishna,
You dont have to change the Trg Spl Gl indicator from A to F. It should remain as A itself.
F-37 uses indicator F to post the request. After posting the request you can see the line item in FBL5N with the indicator F.
When you convert the request to a down payment through tocde F-29, the system posts it to the spl gl indicator A (target indicator)

Customer Down Payment request inclusive of Tax

Hello SAP Experts,
I have following requirement for down payment request scenario.
Current AS-IS situation
Sales order (VA01) ---> Prepayment Order ( VA01) --> Down payment request / Down payment Invoice ( VF01) --> accounting document of VF01
100 Rs. Net 100 Rs. Net 100 Rs. Net
20 Rs. VAT ------> 20 Rs. VAT ---------> 20 Rs. VAT ---> 100 Rs.
in this accounting document entry is happening as noted item with
DR. Customer Account ( net amount without Tax) 100
.so, after this step, I can see in FBL5N as 100 Rs. as open item for customer
TO BE Scenario
my user needs that at this step, posting should be
Dr Customer A/C - 120
Cr. customer down payment - 100
Cr. Tax - 20
can you please suggest and give your input in order to how can we achieve this.
Thank you for your input.

Hello Jignesh,
Just a design level suggestion for your requirement.
You are looking to have a system that calculates tax during DP invoice.
Create a new Item category which has 'Billing Plan' tab enabled at Item level. Check with Abap'er to bring a custom field (check box) saying 'Tax on down payment'. Here the posting schema needs to be defined (like which account needs to be used for tax posting and its PK and D/H indicator and use some FM for tax calculation and check for zero balancing, etc.,.)
Then whenever the check box is ticked, and the Billing is performed for the DP invoice, then enable the system to calculate tax amount based on the tax classification & tax defined for the SO using the so called code written in routine or user exit. Now, the tax calculation can be achieved.
This is purely a custom suggestion (nothing to do with standard SAP). Sorry i couldnt able to provide much of a technical solution for your requirement . But still this is achievable and i worked some years back on the same.

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.

Usage of field VBEL2 (sales document) in customer down payments (F-37 or F-29)

Hello Experts
I need to know what is the point of field VBEL2 (sales document) while creating a customer down payments in tcodes F-37 or F-29. I did some tests in my client and still can't come up with the solution.
I thought that somehow this field was used to link the downpayment with the invoice so that you can see them grouped in customer clearing (F-32), but that was not the case.
Then I did a whole invoice cycle like this:
1. Created sales order in tx VA01
2. Posted customer down payment request in tx F-37. I gave VBEL2 field the sales order number I got in step 1.
3. Registered customer down payment in F-29
4. Posted outbound delivery in Tx. VL01N and gave sales order from step 1.
5. Posted invoice from outbound delivery from step 4.
After this I checked in F-32, or document flow and sales order to see any relation and couldn't find any.
Can anyone explain what is this field for? Or is this only a reference field for reports.
Thanks

Hi
I know that but the Sales Document filed is not there in that T.code. Thats the problem.

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.

Summarizing open items in down payment request from SD

Hello!
We have a sales order with a billing plan, let say, 20% down payment, 80% - final invoice. There are 3 items in the sales order. When creating the down payment request the system creates 1 document with 3 customer lines. We would like to have 1 document with only 1 customer line. Is it possible to summarize customer lines on the down payment request?
OSS note 213852 "Analysis of down payment processing with FI" says that summarization is not possible, but the note was issued in 2002. Were there any updates since then?
Thank you!

Hi Goutham,
I think you should have posted this question to PLM forum i.e. Product Lifecycle Management (PLM). Project System is part of PLM .
Down payment request can not be created automatically from the project structure or milestone in projects.Milestones in projects are used for billing purpose.
You can use transaction f-47 to enter down payment request.
Please refer the link below for down payment request.

Down Payment Request at Header Level of PO

Dear Friends
We want to create Down Payment Request and subsequently the Down Payment at Purchase Order Header Level. We are looking for a standard solution without any Custom Development.
While creating a Down Payment Request (F-47) the system does not ask for the reference of the Purchase Order. But if Purchase Order Number is referred then the system will ask for the line item also.
When we convert this Down Payment Request to Down Payment (F-48), we can refer the Purchase Order Number. If referred, the system asks for the line item also, which becomes mandatory.
However we want to understand if there is a possibility of posting the Down Payment against the Purchase Order Header.
This is required, since if there are multiple line items in the purchase order, then creation of Down Payment Request as well as Down Payment becomes a tedious activity in SAP.
Someone innovative and has already worked on such requirement please reply.

Error while using Special GL indicator H for Customer Down Payment

Dear Friends,
I have configured the Special GL Indicator H (Security Deposit) for Customer Down Payment received. I also make the necessary settings in OBXY for assignment of Special GL against the reconciliation account.
When I am doing the Customer Down Payment entry through F-29 using special GL indicator H system giing me the following error message
Special G/L indicator H is not defined for down payments
Message no. F5053
Diagnosis
The specified special G/L indicator is not classified as "down payment" or not listed in the list of the target special G/L indicators for indicator "F".
System Response
The entry is not accepted.
Procedure
Enter an allowed special G/L indicator or initiate a change of the default settings
I also check the configuration again but still systems is giving me the same above error.
Kinldy give me the solution or way of doing this ASAP because I am working in an implementation Prj.
Regards,
Sandeep

Dear Surya,
I have made the necessary changes in Special GL Indicator F in their properties I assign target spl GL indicator H but while in spl GL indicator H when I assign target spl GL indicator F system gives me following error
Delete target special G/L indicator
Message no. F4137
Diagnosis
In the SAP system, you can only use "Target special G/L indicators" with "Down payment/down payment request" when "Noted item" is also selected at the same time. These requirements are not fulfilled in the special G/L indicator "H".
Procedure
Delete the specified target special G/L indicator.
Effects on Customizing
You can define when this system message is to be issued in accordance with your requirements.
You do this in Customizing as follows: Cross-Application Components -> Bank Directory -> Change Message Control.

Down payment request and special GL indicator

Hi SAP Experts,
From several days I'm looking for an explanation of standard down payment process in SAP:
When we create down payment request for customer, billing type FAZ, corresponding FI document is created with special GL indicator "F".
Does somebody know what is the configuration for that? How the system determines that for FAZ billing type it should create special GL indicator "F"?
Thanks and appreciate any suggestions.

Dear Marin Please check in Google

Clearing Customer down payment for down payment amount not equal to Customer Invoice amount

Dear All,
               Below process are posting Customer transaction directly via FI without SD cycle.
            Customer down payment = 102 INR
            Customer Invoice = 103 INR
While doing Customer clearing w.r.t Invoice system has cleared the down payment document but posted an open item in Customer account with clearing document number of value Rs 102 .
Concern:-
               1) How 1 INR difference will be countered , via receipt payment from customer from bank account ?
               2) In case we have defined tolerance limit of 5% for Customer and this come to be > 1 INR ,does SAP provide clearing Customer items
                   automatically via any Standard Customer clearing process based on rule defined ?
Pls suggest

Hi,
the information of the exchange rates used for down payments, is
stored in table TCURR ( exchange rates)
For the request down payment the actual exchange rate of table TCURR
or the rate of document header is taken.
When this down payment request is payed, also the exchange rate of
the actual day (TCURR) is taken.
That´s why the amount in the bank posting in local currency result
from translating the foreign currency amount at the current rate,
instead of resulting from the total of the local currency amounts
from the settled items.

Attila

F-29 Down payment not clearing down payment request

Hello,
I'm working to configure milestone billing plans in our sandbox environment. I'm able to create a sales order with the new order type that's linked to the billing plan, and I have successfully created the down payment request. I can see the two FM postings for value type 83 (the negative to 0100 and the positive to 0200). Then I post the F-29 down payment. I've referenced the sales order in the down payment. But I'm not seeing an FM posting for value type 58 to reduce the down payment request. The down payment request is not being cleared by the down payment. Do you have any suggestions for any of the following:
- configuration I may have missed
- information that may have been entered incorrectly on the F-29
I can see the uncleared down payment itself when I pull up the customer account of the payer. Did I miss a step to match up the F-29 to the down payment request? I've configured the step for automatic down payments in public sector management, and I made sure that the sales order type is the one indicated in that step and the document type of the F-29 is the down payment document type indicated in that step. Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thank you,
April

Check what is the accounting doc type for the down payment request.
If it is RV then use tcode F-28 to receive payment for the transaction, as you are receiving payment against invoice.
Hope this can assist you. Or contact your FI team member for understanding.
Thanks & Regards

Partial payment for down payment request

Dear All
I have posted a 1000 INR down payment request by F-37. However, the customer only pays me for 700 INR.
If i use F-29 to record the downpayment and try to link this 700 INR to the original down payment request then the system does not allow me to post and gives the message"Posting is only possible with a zero balance; correct document". Also if i click on additional line items the system does not let me create a new downpayment request (Spl GL F) with posting key 09.
Request you to tell me if i can let 300 INR as down payment request and $700 as down payment received agsint the first downpayment request.
Regards,
Siddharth.

Hi Shankar,
I am working on EC 6.0 in case that is relevant.
Agreed that a downpayment request is a noted item and wont affect balances. But when you recieve downpayment against that downpayment request, the system does not let you proceed if there is a difference between the downpayment request and the downpayment.
my query is whether i can post that downpayment w.r.t to the downpayment request and create the residual amount as a new downpayment request.
Thanks for your reply but the problem remains unresolved. Will award you points though
