Down payment functionality for PO with account assignment K Cost Center

QUESTION: Is there a way to turn-on down payment functionality for cost centers?
When a vendor down payment is posted via tcode F-47 against a PO line item with INTERNAL ORDER as the account assignment, SAP posted the following documents from the payment run (tcode F110):
1. Accounting Document
dr vendor / GL= downpymt clearing / internal order = IO1234 / cost center = CC5678
cr bank
2. Controlling Document
dr internal order IO1234
However, when a vendor down payment is posted against a PO line item with COST CENTER as the account assignment, SAP does not post any Controlling document, just the accounting document:
dr vendor / GL= downpymt clrg / cost center = CC5678
cr bank
From my research, it appears that the down payment functionality applies to internal orders and projects only. Then settlement is run to move the values from internal order to AUC assets and/or cost centers. Perhaps I'm missing a configuration step for the cost center piece?
Your prompt response will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

system wont generate any controlling document for noted items downpayment and normal payments.
Because all are balance sheet accounts. Controlling documents will generated for only P&L accounts.
Your analysis correct.

Down payment request for contract with periodic billing

Hi Friends,
Could anyone help me in understanding the configuration settings for down payment / advance payment senario for a CONTRACT which has Order related billing (I have done for Order with milestone billing plan).
The contract has order related *periodic billing plan* where settlement period is suppose quaterly billing and actual invoice is happening on 1st date of the quarter. But i want to create a down payment request say 10 days before the billing date[(actual invoice(F2) date] of every quater as an advance payment/ down payment.
FYI...
For order i am using standard billing rule 1 in milestone billing plan for final invoice but for downpaymnet billing dates (added additional settlement periods then actual invoice settlement period like 3 adv pay ment og 20%, 30% 50% & one actual invoice period for whole amount 100% as D4 doc only) i am manually changing the billing rule as 4 to create a down payment req.
But in contract as its has periodic billing plan no billing rule changing option (no additional settlement period can be added, only settlement period for actual invoice is getting proposed) so i can't have two different rule for a settlement period. no settlement period can be added separately for adv paymnet/down payment.
Kindly respond ASAP.

Hi, Many thanks for your response.
But the down payment functionality for a SO with milestone billing i have already implemented.
The question was for CONTRACT Side (say rental / service contract). The contract has periodic billing (monthly / Q'ly).
Kindly let me know if you/anyone has any idea for config settings for a contract with the senario mentioned in previous thread post.
Thnx & Rgds

Exchange rate problem between GR&IR for PO with account assignment category

ear SAP experts.
We have used expense puchase order through account assignment category.
the cost object include cost center,sale order,order.because we dont use Fixed assets module in SAP,when purchase fixed assets,we also use account assignment category but no need to fill assets number(Not use account assignment category A).
the processing in current system when there is exchange rate difference between GR&IR as follows.
purchase order Currency :USD company code currency:HKD
example 1-- when something purchased into expense account,
Good receipt (1USD=7.75HKD)
Dr :expense account 100USD    775HKD
Cr: GR/IR        100USD    775HKD
Invoice receipt
Dr : GR/IR         100USD    775HKD
    Expense account            25HKD
CR: Vendor        100USD    800HKD
Example 2-- when something purchased into Fixed assets account,
purchase order :USD company code currency:HKD
Good receipt on Oct .01. 2007 (1USD=7.75HKD)
Dr :Fixed assets account 100USD    775HKD
Cr: GR/IR           100USD    775HKD
Invoice receipt on Dec.01.2007 (1USD= 8HKD)
Dr: GR/IR              100USD     775HKD
   Fixed assets account                25HKD
Cr: Vendor            100USD     780HKD
The fixed assets is depreciated from Nov,2007.
There is one problem that after the fixed assets is depreciated, the value for the fixed assets is added , the finance clerk have to adjust the added value from fixed assets account to Exchange Difference-Gain/Loss account by manual.
Our problem is
How to configure in order to make the exchage rate difference into Exchange Difference-Gain/Loss account for purchase order with account assignment category,not the original assigned account in purchase order item.
Many thanks
Fanny

Hi Fanny
Even though the question is bit unclear, I guess you are looking for the T-Code OBYC. Use transaction key KDM for configuring the exchange gain/loss

PO with account assignment Category M

Hi Friends,
In an intercompany stock transer scenario for a PO with account assignment category M, can the receiving plant receive the goods before the supplyig plant issues it? In my case it's happening only for POs with account assignment category M, so I wanted to consult you all if this is possible per standard SAP functionality.
Thanks for your help.
Rana

Hi
Yes this is standard functionality only. and this is not an intercompany procurement.
This is something like a Individual purchase order process. Using Item category TAB in the sales order.
In this process Goods receipt is done before you perform the goods issue to the customer.
In an inter compnay PO process the process starts with creation of a PO and not SO. where as you are creating a SO beofre the PO, and using the SO as an account assignment object.
Thanks & Regards

PO with account assignment category F

Hi Gurus,
For PO with account assignment category F, the system is creating aaccounting documents during GRN for some POs & for some pOs it is not . What could be the reason.
Regards,
Kumar

Hi SAPMM6,
Check details of account category refernce 'F' whether tick is there for GR Valuated.
Also when you are creating PO with multi-account assignment then also GR is non-valuated as per SAP standerds.
Also check the both POs for material code and there valuation classes.
Hope your problem gets resoled.

Calendar has been non-functional for hours, with small screen saying "Moving calendars to server account..." Help?

Calendar on Mavericks MacPro has been non-functional for hours, with small screen saying "Moving calendars to server account..." How can I restore its function?

Sorry. I found some other advice that solved the problem ere I saw your response.
The advice was:
Go to Finder. Holding "Option" key, find Library in "Go" pull down menu. In Library. Select Calendars. To desktop, drag all files with the word "cache." Then go to Preferences (still in Library) and drag to desktop "com.apple.ical.plist". Restart. Now Calendar is working perfectly, and rechecking under Library, the caches files and the com.apple.ical.plist that were dragged to the desktop have reappeared in Calendars and Preferences.
All is well. Many thanks for your reply! Sorry that I did not get to check it out.

Invoice verification for blanket PO with account assignment category U (un

Hi all
While doing miro when i am doing invoice verification for blanket PO with account assignment category U (unknown) system is not allowing me to enter the GL it is disable,wat can be the possible reason
Regards
shailesh

Hi Shailesh,
As you have maintained the account assignment category as U the account assignment tab will not be available. If you want to enter a GL account then use the Account assignments K or F or X.
Else if you want to use U in PO then you can give the GL account and other account assignment details only in the Invoice verification.

Down payment process for Poland, new business process or not ?

Hello,
I'm a little bit confused about implementation down payment process for Poland.
The OSS-notes 818079 and 1007635 describe a solution for this.
How do I have to implement the correct down payment process for Poland ? Do I have to create an extra business process with new sales order type, new billing type, separate calculation procedure, new output type and so on ?
Or is it possible to use existing business processes in sales and distribution for down payment processes ?
Thanks in advance
Holger

hi,
Check the process for down payment processing
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 request for other special GL transactions

Hi ALL,
Is it possible to post down payment request for other special GL transactions?
If not , I Have a scenario that I have to generate down payment request with different alternative reconciliation accounts , but same reconciliation account.
As we cannot assign different alternative reconciliation accounts for same reconciliation account in special GL indicator "F- down payment request), how to post down payment request with different alternative reconciliation accounts?
Even though I have created different special GL indicators for different alternative reconciliations accounts with same reconciliation accounts, I couldn't post down payment request, only down payment is possible. how to solve?
regs,
ramesh b

Please do the following
1. Activate Reconciliation account ready input setting for your Main reconciliation account in FS00
2. If you dont find the setting in FS00, then you have to change FSG settings for this account group in OBD4.
3. Also assign alternative reconciliation accounts to your reconciliation account
Now system asks you to input the alternative recon account when you do the transactions.

Down Payment processing for Sales orders using Milestone Billing Plan

Hi,
The business scenario is as follows.
The delivery for the sales orders are to be created only after the pre payment( a percentage of the total sales order value) is made by the customer.
Hence the sales orders while creation are blocked for delivery creation using credit block by means of a userexit.
The credit manager checks the blocked sales orders using VKM1 transaction and verify if there are any payments made by the customer to cover this pre payment to be made.
If it is enough to cover then he releases the sales order manually for delivery creation.This is a complex process since there are too many sales orders and the payments made by the customer may not match the amount to be paid(it can be greater or lesser).The customer just pays a huge amount which is to be distributed among the sales orders for pre payments.
Later, when the invoice is created, the customer account is cleared manually using F-32 transaction for the oldest open invoices.
Here again there is a huge manual effort involved since he need to distribute the amount against the invoices using oldest open item principle.
As a solution we are planning to implement "Down Payment processing for Sales orders using Milestone Billing Plan".
Is this the right solution?
Can you please give the steps in detail to implement this functionality for above scenario?
We are using SAP 4.7 version without Project Systems.
Thanks in advance.

Funded Program in ME21N with Account Assignment Category equal BLANK

Hi
I am doing one ME21N (create purchase order) with Account Assignment Category equal BLANK " ". In u201Caccount assignmentu201D the system only allow to fill the fields u201Cfunds centeru201D, and the u201Ccommitment itemu201D but as the purchase is to INVESTMENT I need to fill the field FUNDED PROGRAM too. I haven´t internal order (CO) and project (wbs element) to do one derivation in this point of process (these objects will be create during the business process). I have already tried to use the fields of FMDERIVE´s trace but unfortunately any combination help me to define the Funded Program.
thanks,
Claudio

Hi Claudio,
I want also to share with you some information about Funded Programs.
Funded programs are used mainly as FM account assignment elements, in the same way as funds, funds centers, commitment items, and functional areas are. Budget can be entered for them and monitored in them.
You can enter the funded program directly in budgeting, but when you are using the funded program in integrated postings, it is not possible to enter the funded program directly. This is the system design.
The funded program uses much of the functionality of the Business Data Toolset (BDT). If you want to customize the funded program master data, you should be familiar with the BDT.
The use of funded program as part of FM account assignment for budgeting, can cause performance issues (posting and reports).
SAP recommends that:
a. Funded Program must be derived using rules specified in the FM derivation tool (FMDERIVE);
b. While you can use any operative element as the source for deriving funded programs, we strongly recommend that you use only WBS elements, orders, or networks.
For additional information, check SAP help in the following link:

Error while creating a PO with Account assignment

HI MM Gurus
In our case, we need to create the STO for account assignment cat `Unknown`.
In SPRO I maintained combination of account assign cat and item cat.
Now, while creating a PO with Account assign U we get Error message - ME069 :Unknown account assignment not defined for use here.
Please advise how to resolve this issue.

Hi
When you are posting actuals, you need to give true account assignment object. With U (unknown), system cannot identify which account to be posted. Change account assignment in PO to another.
In standard SAP Unknown account assignment is not allowed in PO's. Only exception is Blanket PO.
Unknown is allowed only in PR and Blanket PO.
The reason is logically you are releasing the PO to the external vendor or Plant in this case you must know the account assignment.

Down Payment Request for a Purchase Order Type K

I am making a down payment request to a supplier where the purchase order is of type K.
At the time of recording the payment request (A-47) the transaction meets the cost center of the purchase order and, because of having a message class (KI 281), blocks the release.
The question is:
At present the validation of the message class (OBA5) should validate the account of the purchase order or the supplier's account of the F-47?
Rgs,
Ivair

Hi
KI 281 message says that the GL account has to be created as a cost element. So, please create a cost element for the GL you are using (KA01). Hope this is the problem.
If this does not work, please let me know.
Thanks,
