Customer Down payments clearing

Hello All,
Clearing of some down payments documents were done by debiting and crediting same GL reconciliaton account.
Please find the following details.
Normal Customer Recon A/c - 13111000
Special GL Customer Recon a/c - 33111000
Correct entry when we have cleared down payment:
DR/CR     Particulars          Spl. GL ind.     GL a/c no.     Amount(Rs.)
DR     CUSTOMER          A     33111000     100
CR     CUSTOMER               13311000     100
But in our case entry has posted as follows:
DR/CR     Particulars          Spl. GL ind.     GL a/c no.     Amount(Rs.)
DR     CUSTOMER          A     13311000     100
CR     CUSTOMER               13311000     100
and this was happned in previous years i.e. 2003,2004 and in 2005 and some documents were already Archived.
Request your valuable suggestion how to rectify the above mistake now i.e. how to post to the Correct GL account no.33111000 instead of wrong GL account no.13311000.
Thanks in advance for your reply.
regards,

Hello,
This is the normal system behaviour, when a down payment is bieng cleared the debit and credit will be posted to the same GL reconciliation account. (in your case 13311000)
33111000 - is only used to differentiate between normal items and special GL transaction. However, at the time of clearing the entries will be picked from the vendor master record. 13311000
The following entry is correct.
DR/CR Particulars Spl. GL ind. GL a/c no. Amount(Rs.)
DR CUSTOMER A 13311000 100
CR CUSTOMER 13311000 100
There is no need to post across the reconciliation accounts.
Regards,
Ravi

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.

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.

Error -Account 'Down-payments clearing account' could not be found for area

When I am trying to pass a down payment entry by debiting vedor and crediting bank with asset it is giving an error as follows.
Account 'Down-payments clearing account' could not be found for area 01
Message no. AU133
Please help me to rectify the same.
Thanks in advance
Deepak

HI
Please pay attention at the possible causes of message AU133:
1. Error AU133:
   a) You have not defined a contra account for acquisition value postings in the Asset Accounting Customizing settings (Transaction AO90).However, this is required as of Release 4.6C because, as is the case for all other integration postings in Asset Accounting, invoice receipt postings have to be displayed in Asset Accounting via the new posting kernel to ensure an identical document
structure.
   b) You have defined the account in Asset Accounting, however, it is not created in the affected company code.Check whether the account is correct and create it for the company code, if necessary.
2. You have entered an asset reconciliation account for the "Contra account: Acquisition value posting" (for example, the same account as for   "Acquisition:Acquis. and production costs" account).This is not permitted.Check whether your account determination is correct
   (Transaction AO90) in Asset Accounting Customizing. The same applies
   for the 'Contra account: Down payment posting'.
3. As "Contra account: Acquisition value posting" you entered an asset G/L account. If necessary change the automatic posting indicator in the G/L account master record.
4.Check if you need revaluation accounts in depreciation areas involved   (AO90):
-Revaluation acquis. and production costs
-Offsetting account: Revaluation APC
Please run also programm RACKONTO where missing or wrong customizing
the accoutn determinations per company code is displayed
Also have a look at note 7595 in this regard.
Please assign points if it useful.

Customer Down Payment

Dear Gurus,
Have a question on Customer Down Payment.
We first create a request, next when the Down Payment is received then we clear the request against the payment received. When the invoice is raised can we do automatic clearing of the Down Payment with the Invoice?
If yes, what would be the process... do we have to clear the Down Payment first manually and then we do automatic clearing?
Do let me know this, thanks in advance.
regards,
Raj

Raj,
Here is how it goes :
1. Down Payment Request ( F-37 - Need to post it to Alternative Reconciliation Account YYYYY - not part of the double-entry bookkeeping)
2. Down Payment ( F-29)
3.Invoice (FB70 )
4. Down Payment Clearing -( F-39)
5.Payment and Clearing
Check the following document for more info:

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.

Customer Down Payment Configuration

Hi All,
Can any one guide me how to configure customer down payment.
I have to raise the invoice for down payment to customer for specfic %age out of total order value. Please guide at earliest. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Mahendra

Dear Mahendra
The following Customizing settings have to be made for down payment processing:
Settings for the billing plan - To activate the billing plan function, maintain the materials, for which you wish to process down payments, with item category group 0005 (milestone billing). This gives the item type TAO via item type determination. The item type TAO calls up the billing plan function.
You need to implement the following activities in the billing plan for down payments:
Maintain deadline category - This determines the billing rule (percentage or value down payment) for the down payment request. The system assigns billing type FAZ (payment request) defined in the standard system with billing category P. (For the billing type FAZ there is the cancellation billing document type FAS in the standard system).
Maintain the deadline proposal - Use the down payments that are due for the proposed deadlines.
Maintaining a Pricing Procedure with the Condition Type AZWR:
In the standard system the condition type AZWR is delivered for the down payment value already provided but which has not yet been calculated. You must include this condition type in the relevant pricing procedure before output tax.
Enter condition 2 (item with pricing) and the calculation formula 48 (down payment clearing value must not be bigger than the item value) for the condition type AZWR.
Before the condition AZWR you can create a subtotal with the base value calculation formula 2 (net value). If the condition AZWR is changed manually, you can get information on the original system proposal from the subtotal.
Maintain the printing indicator - The pricing procedure can not be marked as a transaction-specific pricing procedure (field Spec.proc.) The condition type AZWR has the calculation type B (fixed amount) and the condition category E (down payment request / clearing).
Maintaining the Billing Document - In the standard system there is the billing type FAZ (down payment request) and the billing type FAS for canceling . The down payment is controlled using the billing category P of the billing type. A billing type becomes a down payment request when the billing category P is assigned. You have to maintain blocking reason 02 (complete confirmation missing) for the billing documents and assign it to billing type FAZ.
Copying control - Copying requirement 20 must be entered in copying control at item level for the down payment request. In the standard system the order type TA for copying control is set up according to the billing type FAZ for the item category TAO.
Copying requirement 23 must be entered in copying control at item level for down payment clearing. In the standard system the order type TA for copying control is set up according to the billing type F2 for the item category TAO.
Financial Accounting settings - A prerequisite for down payment processing is that the account is assigned to the underlying sales document. To do this, change the field status settings in Customizing as follows:
Set reconciliation accounts (transaction OBXR) - For the `received down payments' and `down payment requests' from
the G/L accounts you have selected, you should assign the field status definition G031.
Maintain accounting configuration (transaction OBXB) - For the down payments (posting key ANZ in the standard system) and the output tax clearing (posting key MVA in the standard system), you must maintain the posting key.
You must also carry out a G/L account number assignment for the tax account.
Maintain the posting key (transaction OB41) - For posting key 19, set the sales order as an optional field !!!
Maintain the field status definition (transaction OB14) - For field status variant 0001, field status group G031, set the
sales order as an optional field !!!
Assign the company code to the field status variants (transaction OBC5)

Down Payment clearing at the time of Goods Receipt

Dear All,
We have activated the setting "Configure Automatic clearing of Down Payments". We are entering down payment in PO and while processing Goods Receipt system is generating automatic down payment clearing document. The issue is the document posting with GR/IR line items are not updating in the FM report FMRP_RFFMEP1AX. The Goods receipt line item is picking the account assignments like Fund center etc are updated based on PO account assignments because we are referring PO while doing down payment. The invoice also created with GR/IR line item and these line items are also updated in FMRP_RFFMEP1AX report. So the line items against GR/IR are part of consumption of budget. The consumption amount does not contain GR/IR line item while doing goods receipt but invoice GR/IR line is part of consumption of budget. As a result, the GR/IR line item is not nullifying the consumption of budget and is adding to the consumption in addition to the expense line item in goods receipt. So its consuming budget twice.
The issue is GR/IR line item while doing goods receipt is not part of consumption of budget even though the GR/IR line item created in the Goods receipt document. At the same time the GR/IR line item in invoice line item is part of consumption of budget. Please let me know the reason why the GR/IR line item in Goods receipt is not updating in the report.
Regards,
Sree
