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.
