Down Payment Invoice and A/R Invoice

Dear Expert
I have been experiencing a scenario where my client wants to create A/R down payment Invoice to their Customers. But the down payment may or may not be received before issue of the (balanced) A/R invoice and further the client sometimes would have to issue the down payment invoice together with the (balanced) A/R invoice to customers.
The problem is that SAP B1 does not allow me to refer or adjust the down payment in A/R invoice unless there is Incoming Payment received against the down payment . But as per this scenario the payment may or may not be received before raising the (balanced) A/R invoice.
I know that using the A/R down payment request could solve the billing issue, however, it can not reflect account receivable of customers which can not satisfy my client's need.
Could you please suggest some workarounds to overcome this limitation?
Thank you very much
Regards
Elton

Dear Expert
Let me clarify my client's scenario more to see whether you could give advise.
My client's business is project based and the invoicing flow is as below:
Phase 1 -
Invoicing 30%
Phase 2 -
Invoicing 30%
Phase 3 -
Invoicing 40%
Total 100%
However, invoice for phase 2 maybe issued before invoice for phase 1 is paid and so do invoice for phase 3.
There is also possibility that invoice for phase 1 is paid while invoice for phase 2 is not at the time when whole project is completed. Invoice for phase 3 therefore has to be issued before invoice for phase 2 is paid.
The installments for A/R is not applicable in this case since sales would be realized at the time when the A/R invoice is issued.
My client would have to realize the sales upon completion of project phase. A/R down payment invoice almost satisfy this scenario however, no A/R invoice of the balance with reference to the down payment invoices can be issued before the down payment invoices are settled.
Can anything be done to overcome this limitation?

Elton

Reconciliation of a A/R Down Payment Request and a A/R Invoice

I want to do a reconciliation of a A/R Down Payment Request (100% paid of a total ) with a A/R Invoice. I want to do an internal reconciliation through BP> Internal Reconciliation > Reconciliation . A/R Down Payment Request is for 100% of the document total. I cannot create a Down Payment with the Down Payment Request and the invoice because the total es 0.00 . So I need to make an internal reconciliation. But when I select both documents, and press the reconcile button, the following errrors apears Payment transactions applied to down payment requests cannot be reconciled here [Message 3821-19] How do I reconcile both documents ?

Hi,
The concept of Downpayment is to have the advance payment received booked in the system by creating a downpayment request/invoice.
In your case the Downpayment Request is 100%, so it becomes difficult to apply the same to the Invoice in the Payment window.
Through Internal Reconciliation window, the same cannot be reconciled. Check Note no. : 1340606 regarding the system behavior.
The following options can be checked in the COPY of the database :
1) Option of applying the Downpayment Request and the Invoice and making a payment of 0.01 cent and then transfering the same to the Rounding account.
2) Checking the option of AR Reserve invoice in case there is 100% Downpayment.
Please check and consult the account of the company.

Error 'cannot cancel document with a down payment that was drawn to invoice

Error 'cannot cancel document with a down payment that was drawn to invoice. We need to void a check and are getting this message. We also get message when trying to cancel the outgoing payment. The AP Down payment is closed, and the AP invoice is also closed. Is there a way to 'undraw' the down payment on the AP invoice? How can this be voided? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Pdf for Payment recsipt and A/R invoice

Hello Experts,
Is it possible to do combine pdf for both the payment recepit and A/R invoice for Credit card transactions.
Thanks

Hi
I don't think there is any alternative way beside selecting PLD everytime you print the layout .
I believe it is done by same person (both A/R+ payment and A/R invoice )
If not you can do :
1. make your PLD default by user or
2. In most cases ,only few customer pays right away , you can set PLD default by Business partner or customer who does that
Hope this helps

Combine Down Payment Request and Payment of Open Item

I am paying $ 1000 to a vendor to cover $ 300 down payment request and $ 700 for an open invoice. Is it possible to make one payment transaction to cover “down payment request” and “payment of open item”? I want only one amount to appear in the bank ledger account. Thank you, Pravin

Hi
In payment program configuration under the payment method configuration for your company codes, make sure that under grouping of items, the two radio buttons are not selected. This should combine the two items into one payment document. Screen shot attached

Difference between Parked invoice and posted park invoice.

Dear All,
I am trying to create a new program to extract the invoices posted by MIRO and MIR7. I have no problem to find invoices posted by MIRO in RBKP and RSEG.
However, as currenty one user will use MIR7 to park invoices and another user will use MIRO to post the invoices, I don't know how to sparate the parked invoice and posted park invoice. C's I have found that the parked not posted invoice and posted park invoice were all displayed in RBKP with transaction code MIR7.
Thank you very much
Emma

Hi,
*Park*
If the Invoice document is missing some information that is required for posting. In this case we will park the document. Here some preliminary checks will be performed. Balance might not be zero.But in this case updates were performed.
*Post*
The invoice was posted online and verified as being correct(Balance must be Zero). Updates were made.
Please use RBKP-RBSTAT field to find out the different type os status.
I hope this helps.

T-code for cancelled Invoice and cancelled Excise Invoice

Dear Guru,
kindly let me know the T-code for cancelled Invoice and cancelled Excise Invoice.
Wishes,
Abhishek

Hi Abhishek,
I am not aware of any T-code through which you can see the cancelled invoice. I think either you have to go for development (SQVI)
or
Extract the list of your all billing document like billing document created from 01.01.2010 to 22.04.2010
Now go to SE16 --> Table VBFA --> Give your billing document number in field "Preceding Doc." --> and in the field "Subs.doc.categ." --> choose entry "N Invoice cancellation" --> system will show you all the entries for which cancellation billing document has been created.
or
Go to SE16 --> Table VBRK --> enter your billing document list --> In the field "Posting status" --> Choose option "E Billing Document Canceled"
Hope it helps,
Regards,

Down Payment Blocking and Release

Hi,
My company reauires a block for all down payment request and subsequently release by the manager for further processing.
Can some one explain how to go about it. Is it standard SAP??
Best Regards,
Sathya

Hi Satya /
I feel this can be achieved in standard SAP as under :
When a person want to process a down payment , we have make the post option disabled , so that he can park that down payment document. when he park a document , it can triggar a mail to his/her superior.
The next level person can post the down payment after duly verifiying the same .
changing Authorisation roles , this can be done.

SAME LAYOUT with different heading for invoice and service order invoice

Hi,
I need to use the same layout for printing both invoice and service order invoice. The layout should print the same data except the title should be changed accordingly ( invoice or service order invoice).
Please help me with this
Regards,
Anik

Hi,
It is not clear to me if you are working with sapscript or smartforms.
You have only to find a variable which identifies the kind of invoice
I do not know that variable so i use an example variable
for sapscript:
/: IF &VBDKR-FKTYP& = '1'
/ INVOICE
/: ELSE
/ SERVICE ORDER
/: ENDIF.
In a smartform you can also do something like that.
but There you work with conditions (eq, BOOLEAN)
You have only to find the right variable
success,

A/p Down Payment Request and A/p Down payment Invoice

hi All,
I am Using SAP B1 2005B
A/p Down Payment Request :-
1.Wnen i want to give a 50% Advance Based on Purchase Order What is the Procedure. whether i have to use A/p Down payemnt request or A/p down payemnt invoice.
2.whenever i am making down payment request there is no JE and There is No GL and BP affected.
2.a. While making payment against down payment request there are 3 accounts hitted
1.Bank Account.
2. Bp(As Advance-Debit balance)
3.GL linked with BP.(Acccounts payable).
Is Correct or Not?
3. While Making A/p Invoice can we pick this Advace in A/p invoice Entry and can we Adjust .
at this stage Whenever i want to Check the balance of the BP should be Debit Balance(as Advance).
A/p Down payment Invoice:-
What is the Procedure, When it will be Used and What are the GL affected.
Thanks & Regards,
yusuff

Hi,
We are using A/p Down Payment Invoice where the entry is
Party Credited
Advance for capital purhase ie. ofset account is debited
and making payment
Party Debited
Bank Credited
and when linking with Invoice
Advance for capital purhase ie. ofset account is credited
GRNI of Asset A/c is debited.
Here the main issue is in Party ledger its showing 1st credit and then debit and your requirement that Party should be shown debit balance it will be not there it will be in Offset account i.e "Advance for capital purhase ie. offset account"
Now you have to generate query base report if you want to show advances given to party.
This is what we are doing if there is any other possibility kindly revert back all experts.
Thanks

Difference between A/p down payment request and invoice

hi,
can any tell me what is difference between A/P downpayment request and Invoice
Regards
Srinivas

Hi Friend,
I list some information here, which might help you better understand.
Down Payment Invoices
The Down Payment Invoice behaves like a regular Invoice. A Down Payment Invoice can be based on a Sales Quotation, a Sales/Purchase Order or a Delivery/Goods Receipt PO in the same way as a regular Invoice; however this will not close the base document.
A Down Payment Invoice can be cancelled by a Credit Memo; however this Credit Memo cannot be based on multiple Down Payment Invoices.
In addition, this Credit Memo will not affect the warehouse stock or the stock valuation.
Note that cash discounts are not available in the Down Payment Invoice.
The Down Payment Invoice will be displayed in the Tax Report as a regular Invoice (if Deferred Tax is not checked).
Down Payment Request
This method of Down Payments is suitable mainly for Germany where it is necessary to show the tax payable at the time of receipt of payment. A journal entry for the tax is created by the payment of a Down Payment Request. The payment will also be displayed in the Tax Report.
A Down Payment Request can be based on a base document the same way as a regular
Invoice; however it does not close this base document, i.e. the base document remains
open and can be copied to another target document if required.

Dani Zhao
