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

  • Data Migration of Contracts with periodic billing and revenue recognition

    Hello Experts,
    I am trying to develop a legacy data migration plan for Contracts with periodic billing plan and revenue recognition.
    Example of the scenario is given below:
    Customer signed a contract for one year starting 01/01/2009.
    Customer is billed quartely, billed in advance.
    SAP going live on 04/01/2009
    Customer is billed for 3 months and also for initial set up fees.
    Revenue recognition is done monthly.
    We have to migrate this contract to SAP.
    Billing document posting may be necessay as it affects revenue recognition which spans across the total contract period.
    Any ideas how to do this?
    Thanks  A Lot

    Hi Anil
    How did you manage this? We also had the same problem in one of our contracts and what we did was that we copied the contracts from the legacy with the full value. That is suppose SAP went live on 1st April, 2009 and the contract was created on 1st January 2009 for a value of suppose 100 USD, with the first billing being done on 1st Jan for 33.33 USD for 4 months. We first created the contract with a validity from 1st Jan 2009 in the new system. We billed it with a billing type that we created that did not actually create new accounting entries as the accounting entries had already been created in the legacy system. In the new system then we recognised the revenue till the go live, so that the actual value remaining of the contract reduced. Then we started the billing plan of the contract from 1st of April 2009 for the remaining amount. So next invoice was created on 1st april for 33.33 USD. Can you share your solution.

    Hi Eduardo, what i'm trying to do is a down payment request for an asset. Indeed, i do the post. My problem is that the asset main number and the asset subnumber are not getting saved in bseg, so when i go to fb03 and double click on a line item, i got prompt to fb03 in visualize mode, and the fixed asset field is blank.
    I have now a week trying to get the asset main number and the asset subnumber getting saved in bseg. I note that i have other field that are not getting saved 'cause i'm not passing the value thru the bapi. This field is LNRAN.
    If you or anybody have a clue how to solve this, i would appreciate the help.

  • 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.

  • Which number range is used for down payment requests for vendors?

    Hi,
    Which number range is usually used for down payment requests for vendors?
    I would like to use it for:
    Y002 vendors (emplyees)
    Y004 vendors (1-time vendors)
    Y005 vendors (confidential vendors)
    The invoice will be posted via FI via Tcode FB60, FB65 & FB10 and F-02.
    Thank you for your feedback.
    Kind regards,
    Linda

    Hi
    For down payment request the Document type is KA hence the number range which is applicable to KA is applicable for vendor downpament also.
    In your case the number range is based on document types and not related to vendor types.
    Thanks

  • Down Payment Request for Delivery-Related Item

    Hi,
    My customer has a scenario where they will need make a down payment request to the customer before delivery. E.g. For a sale of Item 1 ($100), they need a deposit of $10 before they proceed with the delivery. After the collection of the 10% down payment, they will deliver the goods and invoice the remaining 90%.
    I've checked the Billing Plan/Milestone Billing functionality, however it only applies for order-related billing item. Has anybody here encountered similar scenarios? What are the suggested methods to tackle this scenario?
    Appreciate your help in this. Thanks!

  • 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,

  • 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.

  • Rental Contract with Periodic Billing Plan

    Hello,
    I need to have a rental contract created, But the payment is one shot.
    For example, if the customer rents a cylinder for a contract period of 1 year, he pays the contract payment for 1 year in one single shot. So, i need to have the periodic billing plan tweaked to take the payment and have just one billing doc and invoice created with 1 whole payment.
    Can this be done?
    Also, i want the revenue recognition to be activated to have this whole  1 year's payment split and posted on a monthly basis to finance.
    Can someone help me with this?
    Also, how can this be changed , reverted in case of contract cancellation in the middle or addition of material on the same existing contract. Please let know.

    Hi..On top of this i have 2 requirements... 1. One year contracts with one shot payment 2. 3year contracts with 1 shot payment. Can they be done as a single transaction, as in the rental contract profile we define the time period.Or they can be only done as 2 different transactions with 2 separate contract profiles?

  • Down Payment Request (f-47) with BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST

    Hi All,
    I have a requirement to create a downpayment request (F-47). I have used bapi BAPI_ACC_DOCUEMENT_POST for this and implemented BTE RWBAPI01 and added the code in Function module for BTE.
    BAPI is getting executed successfully and giving me a document number also, in the return table. But after calling BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT  the document no. doesnt get updated to tables. There is no error returned by either of the BAPI
    In the next run, next document number gets generated.
    Can anyone please help and let me know why the document is not getting updated in tables even though it gets generated.
    Any help will be appreciated,
    Thanks,
    Kanchan

    Hi,
    I had checked the OSS notes as well, Note 884246 is already implemented.
    I am not able to understand when the BAPI_ACC_DOCUMENT_POST is giving me a document number why is commit for the same failing.

  • Down payment request from billing

    Hello
    Can somebody answer what are 
    Down payment request from billing
    Down payment settlements from AR
    Billing value from AR (down payments excluded)
    Where I can find these values for a particular Sales order (transactions , tables, etc)
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Coming to your first question:Down payment request from billing
    In general,we are going to create this down payment request for prepaid sales orders only.
    Goto T.Code:VA02,Enter the order number.
    Goto item details-->Billing plan.
    Here you can maintain the necessity values for your down payment like the billing documnet type and down payment % value etc,...
    While creating the down payment,there should be a block for final invoice.
    This is down payment request from order.
    2.Down payment settlements from AR .
    For this down payment invoices the special G/L indicator will be defaulted as F.We have to pay that amount through F-28 T.Code.
    While maintaining the values for this downpayment in F-28,don't forget to maintain the special G/L indicator as F and remove the tick mark for Normal O/Is
    You can pay the necessity amount and the remaining amount has to be maintained in difference postings such that the not assigned value should be 0.00.After paying this amount the indicator will be turned to "A".You can check it in FB03 T.Code and change the layout in this transaction and include the field special G/L indicator.
    3.Billing value from AR (down payments excluded)
    This means that if the downpayment % is 0 then it is nothing but the final invoice amount.In this case it comes into picture.
    It is equivalent to order and final invoice.And down payment is dummy here.
    T.Code:VA02
    Enter teh order number.Click on document flow.
    You can find the downpayment and final invoice numbers.Make a note of them.
    VBFA is tha table where you can find the subsequent documents.
    FBL5N is the T.Code where you can find the cleared and open items for your customers.
    All your cleared downpayments will be appeared here along with the clearing document number.
    BSAD and BSID are the tables.
    FB02/FB03 are the T.Codes for checking accounting document entries.
    Regards,
    Krishna.
