Down payment vendor invoice

hi
the company has made a down payment to a vendor. co. receives an invoice from the vendor. the vendor is paid considering the down payment. but if you see the invoice entry it does not have any reference to the down payment made initially.
the example is :
vendor is paid 25K against an order of 100K. Vendor issues and invoice. When Vendor is paid i.e. final payment , the payment amount is 75K.
but if i check the invoice the invoice shows 100 and no reference of downpayment.
my requirement is the invoice should give some ref. of downpayment so that it would be easy to identify against which the downpayment is made
could you help me in understand how can i achieve this?
regards
Vedavatee

The sequence of down payment and its clearing is as follows
Advance payment posting ( F-48 )
Enter SP GL Indicator as A
Purchase invoice posting ( F-43 )
Transfer of Advance from SPL GL to Normal by clearing SPL GL (F-54)
Enter Vendor account number, Invoice number etc., and select process down payments button and double click on amount and save.
Clearing of Normal Items ( F-44 )
Enter Vendor Account number and select process open item button and double click on both items (Dr and Cr) and SAVE.
Then you make payment of remaining balance

Down payment against contract

Hi gurus,
do you know any possibility to link down payment to mm contract. Business process: We create mm contract. we need to pay some percentage of agreed value in advance (down payment). After down payment vendor make few successive deliveries. Contract is long term and we create PO for each delivery. Between deliveries can be few weeks, or few months. For each PO and GR against PO we receive one invoice. Invoice is partially closed with down payment (but not whole invoice, and not whole down payment). So all invoices are partially closed with part of down payment. For every big job we sign contract with vendor, so we can have few open contracts with same vendor in a same time. Agains each contract we create one particular down payment. all invoices should be closed with down payment which is linked for their contract.
What we need is link down payment to contract (contract field in DPR is text field and we can not chose from existing contracts), and to see in some report how much from down payment per contract left or to see which invoices are closed with particular down payment.
Is there any standard way to do this?
Thanks,
Anna

Hi,
Contract is outline purchasing agreement document but Purchase order is external purchasing document where commitment start with purchase order only with conditions.So advance payment can be configured and purchase order linked to it.

Down payment (B/S account) assign to IO

Dear Experts,
We've created an IO, and assign budget $ 1,445,000 to the IO.
In F-43, we created the following entry.
Dr. down payment (vendor)--- $ 1,440,000 (B/S account) assign to IO
Cr. AP (vendor)*--- $ 1,440,000
For system instruction, if we want to B/S ac link to IO, we need to set a default cost element for credit payments in OKEP.
After posting, we didn't see any budget credit change in IO. (budget credit not reduce)
What's the meaning of OKEP setting? ( the value is not relevant for availability control)
How do we do if we want Dr. down payment (vendor)--- $ 1,440,000 (B/S account) assign to IO related for availability control and reduce budget credit?
Thanks in advance.

Hi AO
I dont think that is possible
OKEP settings are useful in the case of project systems (PS Module) as far as I know... With IO, you cant update down payments into IOs

Down Payment with a normal account G/L

Hi guys,
i 'd like to know if is possible use a down payment with a no Special G/l account in SAP. Exaclty:
Edit a document FI like a Down Payment, For example: Down Payment Vendor to Vendor "X" and insert the number of PO in the field BSEG_EBELN.
To see the document FI in the "view" purchase order history of PO.
I know well it for Special G/L Account, but my customer no wants to use the Special GL Accounts
Thank you for attention
Best regards
Sandro

Dear Velu,
Thank you very much for your answer.
I mean the offseting posting of the Debit Advanced suppliers account, which is Credit Expense or Bank clearing account. Do you know why the system restricts the offseting posting only to Espense accounts?
Try in the FB01 transaction when you choose 29 A Vendor line item and you choose Bank clearing account the system gives message 'Incorrect postings are ignored'.

Desi

Down payments in APP

Hi Gurus,
What happens when it takes down payments in Payment program
Does it reduce the balance we have to pay? and what happens to the open down payments?
pls suggest
Regards,
Ravi

Hi Ravi,
For down payment in Payable Account we use in the order these transactions :
F-47 : we enter a Down payment Request (without effect in accounting)
F-48 : we post a Down payment (vendor in debit and treasury account in credit)
FB60 or MIRO : we post an invoice with the global amount
F-54 : we reverse the vendor (debit) posted in F-48 with a special G/L indicator (A) and we put it in a normal G/L account
F110 or F-53 : We pay the difference between an invoice amount and a down payment.
Finally when we post a payment we clear at the same time the invoice, the down payment and a the vendor payment doc.
Regards

Actual Invoice against Down Payment

Hi Expert,
I have an issue where business raised an AP invoice with special G/L indicator 'U' as downpayment. Then business cleared the invoice/downpayment via F110. Then business raised an actual invoice, how to knock off the value in the actual invoice against the downpayment as the downpayment already cleared?
Kindly help to advice.
Thank you.
Regards,
Izzat

Hi,
The accounting entries are generated as follows
1. You create an invoice
Purchases A/c Dr
To Vendor
2.Down payment
Vendor A/c Dr
To Bank
Now you want to clear down payment against invoices do following steps :
1. Go to transaction code F-44
2. Click on Click on Process Open Items.
3, Next Screen
Select all
Deselect all
Select Credit amount (invoice) and Debit amount (down payment)
4. Click on Residual Item
5. Double click on the item which has more balance (this is applicable only if Credit amount (invoice) is more than Debit amount (down payment)
6. Click on Document - Simulate and if entry found O.K. click on Save
Hope, this solves your issue else revert.

hiren patel

Dear Hiren,
Withholding tax (TDS) needs to be paid either at the time of raising invoice or at the time of doing Payment, whichever is earliest. Hence in the case of doing downpayment, one needs to do the configuration at the T_Code corresponding to the Payment of TDS at the time of Payment
<b>Extended Withholding Tax--> Calculation --> Withholding Tax Type --> Define Withholding Tax Type for Payment Posting</b>
Please follow the link mentioned below for detailed info on configuration of TDS. The index of this book lists the steps required.

Kindly let me know if it is useful.

Vendor Down Payment Clearing: F-54 or F-44

Hi
I have made a down payment (with Spl. GL indicator) to a vendor, using F-48. Then I book an invoice using FB60. I kept the two amounts same and ignored WT to keep things simple.
Now i want to clear the down payment against the invoice. I use F-54. The clearing transaction is getting posted. However, the Invoice is lying open (credit entry) along with the Clearing document (debit entry). On the other hand the down payment document (debit) is getting cleared with the Clearing document (credit entry). This means I have two open line items and two cleared line items. I can clear the two open items again using F-44.
I have two questions:
1. What is the use of F-54 here since I have to use F-44 eventually?
2. While doing F-54, Posting Key for the debit line item is 26 : Payment Difference. This is could not understand.
Can anyone please help me out on this?
Thanks in advance
Aninda

Dear Aninda ,
I will explain you with following example.
Recon account(Vendor)---3000000
Advance to Vendor----
4005000
Exp a/c----
7575100
Bank a/c----
5000100
1. Advance to Vendor (spl gl -A)(F-48)
Vendor a/c    (SPL-A)( GL- 4005000)        DR   1000
                  T0 Bank a/c (GL-5000100)                  1000
2. Invoice posting
Expenditure a/c ( GL-7575100) Dr      1000
     To Vendor Account(GL-3000000)     1000
3. Clear Vendor Down Payment (F-54)
Vendor a/c (GL-3000000) DR                1000 (Posting key-26)
     To Vendor a/c (SPL-A)( GL- 4005000)          1000
It means Credited spl GL-A has converted from advance to Normal open item. Amount has been transferred from Advance to Vendor GL to Normal Recon account.By this way Advance account shows Nil Balance with debit(F-48) and Credit (F-54)
The remaining 2 line items i.e., Credit (F-43) and Debit (F-54) shows as open items. In the next step we need to knock off those line items by manual clearing or automatic clearing.
4. Normal Clearing (F-44)
It will be posted without line items.
I hope i am able to help you out to understand process

Vendor ageing report for down payment bucketwise

Hi
I have paid many downpayment to various vendors. Now i want the ageing report for the same (i.e. bucket wise i.e. 0-30 days, 31-60 days and so on).
This i am getting for vendor invoices in TCode: S_ALR_87012085 (Vendor payment history with OI sorted list).
Please let me know if the bucketwise report is possible for the downpayment too.

Hi,
Vendor ageing for down payments as well as invoice i use to see from T.code FBL1N by creating layouts.
Choose Arreas after net due date from layout and for that column you can apply a rule that from 0 to Lessthan or equal to 30.
Like that you can create the layouts. In FBL1N you can give this layout (down) so information come in that format.
The one disadvantage is that you have to select manually the layouts and you can see only one ageing information at a time.

Sankar

Vendor Down payment processing

Hi friends,
Can anyone give me idea how down payment for vendors work in SAP.
I am not sure about the procedure, and we are following the below procedure, let me know how it should go and what we are doing wrong.
we do F-47, and F110 then after, I dont know if I should do MIRO, F-54 and F-44 thenafter to pay the remaining balance or just MIRO and F-54.
Please let me know its urgent

HI Shefford
The business flow of advance payment can be like this.
1.prepare an advance payment request(F-47)
2Convert the advance payment request to advance payment either by F-48 or F110.U can also go for F-48 individually also without going for F-47 route.
3. Goods receipt or the vendor liability creation as per the business practice,That means which is happening first.Goods receipt through MIGo and the liability craetion through MIRO.
4. If u have paid 100% advance to ur vendor and ur advance is equal to the supply amount just clear the advance with the supply amount by F-54.
5.If there is difference between advance and the supply amount just clear the advanvce by F-44 and pay the rest balance either by F110 or F-53/F-58 (Both manual payment method.)
This is all abount the process.
Thanks

Vendor down payment with input tax

Dear Expert
My client receieves down payment with input tax, to meet their legal requirement for VAT filing, they have to book entries as below;
When receieving down payment with input tax:
Dr. Down payment
Input tax
Cr. Bank
When receiveing vendor invoice for remaining AP amount:
Dr. Expense
Input tax
Cr. AP (remaining amount)
Then clear down payment by expense
Dr. Expense
Cr. Down payment
They do in this way, because input tax in down payment and input tax in remaining AP invoice should be listed as two items in their VAT report. And intput tax in down payment document is with reference field which is different from reference field in remaining AP invoice, and reference field is also one mandatory field in VAT report.
In this case, I can not use SAP standard T-code F-54 to clear down payment. But when I tried to create a manual JV to post entry with Dr. Expense and Cr. Down payment, it's OK, but then when I used F-44 to manully clear down payment doc by manual JV, I got problem because the amount in down payment is down payment amount + input tax amount, but the amount in manual JV is only down payment.
Does someone have a solution?
Thanks,
Nicole

Nicole,
Which country is this requirement for? As far as I know, there is no tax incidence on downpayment. Input tax arises only when you receive the invoice, right? Not when you receive a downpayment.
