Hello,
The SAP Standard System checks that the Down payment is not greater
than the Order value;or a dowmpayment request/payment with more than
order value. There is no comparison with PO line item-wise.
It takes into account total order value.
In such a case the warning message F5373 is Issed.
By transaction OBA5 You can customize this error to became a warning.
Please, also take into account that when you create the down payment in
FI you only enter the purchase document number and not any quantity
or invoice reference. That means that the system has no relation between
material movements, invoices and down payments. Therefore you are
able to create as many down payments as you want. This leads to multiple
requests could exceed a Purchase Order line without the warning being
given.
Hope this clarifies.
