Down Payment Interim Account In SAP 8.8

Dear All,
Please let me know the use of Down Payment Interim Account under sales and purchase tab in gl account determination in SAP 8.8. I have tried some transactions but the same is not getting affected. Is it applicable for India Localization?
Regards
Kapil

Hi Kapil,
It is applicable for India Localization. And when you are going to do Incoming payment on base of "A/R Down Payment Request" then your "Down Payment Interim Account" will hit. In payment Dr effect goes to this GL and when you will link "A/R Down Payment Request" in "AR Invoice" then "Down Payment Interim Account" will nullify with CR effect.
Thanks,
Sachin

Down Payment Interim account

Dear expert,

Thanks,
Please advice

Hi Felix,
Previous to SBO 8.8 you cannot make any payment in Down payment request, now it is possible using the Interim accout for DPR the JE is created in the Interim account and balance with the invoice later.

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.

AR Down payment receivables account

Dear Experts,
Can you please throw some light on AR Down payment receivables account? Should this be an asset account or liability account?
I have linked a down payment receivable control account and have posted AR DP invoice, but it gets posted against regular debtors control account. So when I click view by control accounts, I see no balance in the down payment receivable control account. How do I ensure that when I account AR DP invoice, it is posted against this control account and not the regular debtor's control account?
If an AR Down Payment invoice is paid, would there be any balance left in the down payment receivable control account?
Please clarify on these queries related to down payment receivables account.
Thanks,
Arun

Hi Yeni and Arun,
I have a requirement similar to Anual Maintenance Contract. Please share with me your solutions
Here are the details:
Customer buys a warranty contract for an appliance for a specific period of time say 1 year and pays 100% Down payment
Down Payment must be posted to Down payment account
During contract validity time, free of charge services and spare parts are delivered to customer ( Customer calls service department if he has a problem)
At defined time e,g end of year, we need to post to revenue account. This posting should automatically reduce the value on the down payment account.
Questions:
Which sales process should we use to cover this requirement?
How can i set Gl account determination of "downpayment account" in every customer. This was a suggestion from Yeni in the previous post
Many thanks for your help.

MKW

Down Payment AR account

In Canadian localization in GL account derermination -> Down Payment AR account is missing .
What we have to define to appear this account
Thanks,
Olga

Hi Olga,
If you are refering to where this account can be defined as in GL Account determination, then, not all accounts are exposed in the software in all localisations. Meaning, the database fields do exist, but as they are not used they are not exposed.
If the field you are asking about is OACP.CDownPymnt, then this field is not used in the Canadian localisation.
Was this the question?
Hope it helps.

Down Payments Error: Account type K is not defined for document type DZ T

I am getting the error message: Transaction code: F-29
Account type K is not defined for document type DZ
Message no. F5243
In this case i am trying to post a customer down payment in t.code: F-29.
In the document type DZ in OBA7 we tick only G.L and Customer tab as this is not a vendor document.
Also the settings in T. Code : OBXR where we maintain configuration for customers has been maintained with a special G/L reconciliation account.
any help will be really appreciated,
Regards
Satish

I have checked all the settings
OBXR for Customer Down Payments. It is with indicator A and a Special G/L Account has been configured.
The special G.L Account is of the Recon account type Customers with FSG as Recon accounts
The document type DZ in OBA7 is ticked for G.L and Customer and this is how i think it should be as i am not paying a vendor downpayment
but it still gives me the same error.

Vendor down payment - GL account error

hi,
1. Created PO
2. Created downpayment request - F-47
3. Now when trying to post the downpayment through F-48, system is throwing the error "Account 1000 in company code XXXX is not a reconciliation account
Message no. F5355
I need to know from where this account 1000 coming from and how to fix this. It's not coming from vendor account.
Senthil

Hi, Better to discuss with FI consultant for this problem, you can check the following step for the problem,
1- Get the Recon. account for the vendor maintained from T-code XK03,
2- Use T-code OBYR and find out the Special G/L account maintained against your Recon. account w.r.t combination of Acct Type & SGL ind(K&F,K&V),
3- Check in T-code FS00 for vendor Recon. account & Special G/L account,Check in control data tab for "Recon. account for acct type" whether 'K VENDOR' is maintained for both these GL's, if not then maintain over there & do the cycle.

Down Payment Accounts

Hi everybody,
following up to my thread "G/L Account Determination - meaning of accounts" I precise my question regarding the down payment accounts in this separate thread.
I've made several simulations of Down Payment Processes on a demo database (using Down Payment Requests as well as Down Payment Invoices). In order to understand the automatic journal entries created by this two operations together with the posting of incoming payments I recognized that the system only used the Down Payment Clearing Account and the Down Payment Interim Account (taken from the customer's master data) but never used the Down Payment Receivables. My question is under which circumstances the system needs the Down Payment Receivables.
My second question concerning this is:
Down Payment Tax Offset Account (Is it a separate tax account for Down Payments - If so It can be theoretically the same account that will be used for output taxes on conventional A/R invoices?)
Thank you for your help and best regards
Greg

Hi Greg,
In USA localization, they don't have this account (Gordon already point this out).
In Indonesia here, we always use Australia / NZ localization and regarding this down payment receivable, we also have this option in Australia / NZ localization. I also have database with Singapore localization, and they have this option also.
Now, as far as I know, no document posted that will automatically result in journal entry posting to this account. If you're wondering then why this option exist at first place, the answer is this : based on my experience, not every setting in SAP B1 had an impact pertaining to automatic journal. Some of the account setting only serve as a field to contain information, not necessarily related to automatic journal.
That being said, personally I think this field existed to stored the information if you want to maintain control account for down payment invoice based on this particular customer
Let me give you an example:
You have customer = C001 - ABC Company
You set the Account Receivable (in tab Accounting) = 113001 - Trade Receivables
You set the Control Account - Down Payment Receivable (also in tab Accounting) = 113009 - Receivables Down Payment
You set the Down Payment Clearing Account = 253001 - Advance Sales
If you create an A/R Invoice, the following journal should created:
Dr. 113001 - Trade Receivables
Cr. 241001 - Tax Payable
Cr. 411001 - Revenue
As you can see, above action will result in posting to 113001, as your setting of Account Receivable.
Now, if you create an A/R Down Payment Invoice, the following journal should created:
Dr. 113001 - Trade Receivables
Cr. 241001 - Tax Payable
Cr. 253001 - Advance Sales
As you can see, SAP still post the A/R to 113001. However, if you want to separate the receivable created from A/R Invoice from A/R Down Payment Invoice for particular customer, you could change the account from "Accounting" tab in A/R Down Payment Invoice document, "Control Account" field. There you can amend the control account to 113009 for instance.
Therefore, your journal posting of the down payment invoice should be like this:
Dr. 113009 - Receivables Down Payment
Cr. 241001 - Tax Payable
Cr. 253001 - Advance Sales
Don't ask me why we still need to amend this manually if we already set the control account in business partner master data
Maybe in future version we could post to this control account if we already set it in customer master data. But, for this moment, it only contain the account information with no impact of automatic posting.

Hendry Wijaya

Down Payment Request Reconciliation after Upgrade to SBO8.8

We created A/P Down Payment Request for 50% for X amount in SBO2007 and was paid in SBO2007. I upgraded to SBO8.8. I created and Invoice and tried to call the down payment request but an error apeared (something about diferente accounts). So we created the Invoice with 50% downpayment. When I try to reconcile it Banking > Outgoing Payments, Only the Invoice appears. I can see the Down Payment Reques with is paid amount. I know I can only reconcile in outgoing Payments. But it do not appear here. Any help ?

Hi
In SBO 8.8 an enhancement...
For each BP Masterdata --> in Accounting (Tab) --> General --> Down Payment interim account will need to be added to post an DP Request, add an account it will not give you the error.

Cancel A/R down payment invoice and clearing account

The following AR Dowm payment cancelation has been processed (as per the SAp WIKI)
- but the down payment clearning account still has a value - how can this be reversed?
2007A PL 42
1. If a 'Down Payment Invoice' (DPI) is unpaid and requires cancellation, then an 'AR Credit Note' can be used.
2. The 'AR Credit Note' should be based on the DPI. This will create the correct journal entries necessary to cancel the DPI.
3. This is a screenshot of a DPI and its associated journal entry:
4. The credit note based on the unpaid DPI will credit the customer and the associated tax accounts accordingly.
https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=21823731

Lisa,
Please compare the journal created for the DPI and the journal made behind the credit note. Does the journal lines match?

No accounting document in Down Payment

Hi,
While processing the partial billing, after changing the value in AZWR condition value on the billing screen, I am able to generate the billing document. But the accounting document is not generating. It is showing error VF050.
However, if I process the same milestone billing document without down payment request accounting docment gets generated.
Can some one explain the reason?
Thanks
Suman

Hi Suman,
Check in VKOA whether an apprpriate G/L accnt is listed there against your account key.
Also analyze the error that the system gives you when you go to transaction VF02 enter your invoice number and try releasing it to accounting by pressing the green flag icon.

ramki

Hi Ramki,
i under stand, but standard SAP there is no down payment functionality for Fixed assets.
do one thing,
same asset you create as a AUC first, then you post down payment transactins to that AUC Asset, once you receive invoice , you adjust the down payment,
finally you settele the AUC to Fixed asset.
i thnk this is teh best optin as of now.
if it ok. or not give reply other wise we will try other optons(we have to explor).
