Down payments reconciliation

Hello,
We have a development request that has been asked by several customers:
The down payment account is not automatically reconciliated when the real invoice is created on the system.
It will be good if this account is automatically reconciliated when the onvoice is created in the system.
Thanks to take in account our development request.
Kind regards,
Walid BELAHMER.
VISEO.

Dear Walid,
thank you for your development request. I would like to ask for more details of your business scenario and the related issue.
SAP Business One has in general two ways how Down Payments are handled:
- Down Payment Request
- Down Payment Invoice
As for the reconciliation for both these processes the reconciliation on BP control account related to Down Payment transaction is done. It depends on the software version you use, but in most of the cases the reconciliation is done as a result of accounting posting of Invoice with linked Down Payment.
Would it be possible to post more details of the process and problematic scenario?
Best Regards,

Can I post a down payment with a Special G/L indicator?

I have to post a down patment.
I want to post a Down payment with posting keys 29 Special G/L debit and 39 Special G/L credit.
The system does not allow to post 29 Vendor subledger account to 50 G/L Bank account. Is it possible to configure that posting in the IMG?
A down payment Reconciliation account for the Vendor is determined to be posted by 29 and 39 posting keys in the IMG instead of the normal Reconciliation account. Is this correct?
Your help is highly appreciated.

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

Customer Down Payment Process Russia

Hi,
We are currently in the process of implementing our Russian subsidiary into SAP ECC 6.0. In this process we are struggeling to find the correct setup for a specific business process:
For a lot of our customers we are requesting prepayment. We want to handle this in SAP via the down payment process (as in Russia VAT needs to be paid on down payments). So steps are:
We create down payment request for a specific amount.
Customer does down payment + down payment is posted in SAP.
Customer places an order.
We deliver the product and issue invoice (invoice needs link to down payment against which the invoice will be cleared).
Down payment needs to be cleared.
The part we are struggling with is that the down payment the customer does is not for a specific order. It is a lump sum amount which could cover 1 or more futur orders. So for instance down payment can be cleared partially with 1 invoice or serveral invoices can clear 1 down payment.
Question is: How can we handle this correctly in the system? How can we link the down payment to the customer invoice (there needs to be a reference of the down payment in the customer invoice)?

The customer invoice will not be in FI but will be triggered from SD. Russian requirement is that the down payment against which the invoice will be cleared needs to be printed on the invoice.
Also, this seems a lot of manual work (manually transfer the dow payment F-39, manually clear the invoice with transferred down payment F-32, at the end also manually clear the original down payment with the down payment transfers F-32).
If there are only a limited number of such customers this is feasible, but if there are a lot then it becomes cumbersum).
One way of doing it more efficient, I thought, was to manually clear the invoice directly with the down payment via F-32. You can then post the open difference for the down payment surplus again as a down payment. But again this only works manually. I think there is no way to do this automatically (clear invoice with down payment based on amount and against latest down payment + post difference to down payment reconciliation account). I tried via transaction J3RCALD, but this does not seem to work.

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.

Internal Reconciliation - Payment transactions applied to down payment req

Our client has 2 transactions in their Suspense Account:
1. Incoming Payment: Type = Other and have posted an amount to a G/L Suspense Account.
2. General Journal: One side to the Expense (credit) and the other side to the Suspense Account (debit)[this was for a refund]
When they go into the Suspense account to perform an internal reconciliation, the system errors with a message - "Payment transactions applied to down payment requests cannot be reconciled here"
The problem is that they have not used a Down Payment Invoice at any stage of the transaction...
They are on v2007A Patch 06

Down Payment Request Reconciliation after Upgrade to SBO8.8

We created A/P Down Payment Request for 50% for X amount in SBO2007 and was paid in SBO2007. I upgraded to SBO8.8. I created and Invoice and tried to call the down payment request but an error apeared (something about diferente accounts). So we created the Invoice with 50% downpayment. When I try to reconcile it Banking > Outgoing Payments, Only the Invoice appears. I can see the Down Payment Reques with is paid amount. I know I can only reconcile in outgoing Payments. But it do not appear here. Any help ?

Hi
In SBO 8.8 an enhancement...
For each BP Masterdata --> in Accounting (Tab) --> General --> Down Payment interim account will need to be added to post an DP Request, add an account it will not give you the error.

Error -Account 'Down-payments clearing account' could not be found for area

When I am trying to pass a down payment entry by debiting vedor and crediting bank with asset it is giving an error as follows.
Account 'Down-payments clearing account' could not be found for area 01
Message no. AU133
Please help me to rectify the same.
Thanks in advance
Deepak

HI
Please pay attention at the possible causes of message AU133:
1. Error AU133:
   a) You have not defined a contra account for acquisition value postings in the Asset Accounting Customizing settings (Transaction AO90).However, this is required as of Release 4.6C because, as is the case for all other integration postings in Asset Accounting, invoice receipt postings have to be displayed in Asset Accounting via the new posting kernel to ensure an identical document
structure.
   b) You have defined the account in Asset Accounting, however, it is not created in the affected company code.Check whether the account is correct and create it for the company code, if necessary.
2. You have entered an asset reconciliation account for the "Contra account: Acquisition value posting" (for example, the same account as for   "Acquisition:Acquis. and production costs" account).This is not permitted.Check whether your account determination is correct
   (Transaction AO90) in Asset Accounting Customizing. The same applies
   for the 'Contra account: Down payment posting'.
3. As "Contra account: Acquisition value posting" you entered an asset G/L account. If necessary change the automatic posting indicator in the G/L account master record.
4.Check if you need revaluation accounts in depreciation areas involved   (AO90):
-Revaluation acquis. and production costs
-Offsetting account: Revaluation APC
Please run also programm RACKONTO where missing or wrong customizing
the accoutn determinations per company code is displayed
Also have a look at note 7595 in this regard.
Please assign points if it useful.

Financial documents/ Letter of Credit and down-payment

Hi,
I try to map requirements from business against solution in SAP.
There is a scenario as follows, where part of the sales order is covered through down-payment. This should be exempted from Letter of credit value.
Example
Sales Order value 1 Mio USD
Down-payment 0.2 Mio USD > paid immediately after sending out the request invoice (request is generated in SD from Sales order). Until payment, this would remain as the net exposure in the system.
LOC value should be only >> 0.8 Mio USD <<
Is there a solution in SAP to this? What would need to happen to enable this?
Cheers
Hein

Hello Hein
Well, for your requirement you have to go development.
For this you can use No credit check in TCode OVA8 for Define Automatic Credit Control for your desired combination of Credit control area, Risk class & Credit group.
Where you have to write a requirement with help of ABAPer.
OR
You can take assistance of FI guy and looking to define Reconciliation Accts Without Credit Management Update
Where In this IMG activity, you can cancel the credit management update function for certain postings by posting to an additional reconciliation account; the reconciliation account without credit management update.
When you make postings to the standard reconciliation account, the receivables total within credit management is then updated, but those postings made to the reconciliation account without credit management update are not.
In Japan, various receivables that are considered certain to be received are excluded from credit management update, including:
- Active prepaid/deferred items
- Payments by letter of credit
Hope this can assist you.
Thanks & Regards

Down Payment Request at Header Level of PO

Dear Friends
We want to create Down Payment Request and subsequently the Down Payment at Purchase Order Header Level. We are looking for a standard solution without any Custom Development.
While creating a Down Payment Request (F-47) the system does not ask for the reference of the Purchase Order. But if Purchase Order Number is referred then the system will ask for the line item also.
When we convert this Down Payment Request to Down Payment (F-48), we can refer the Purchase Order Number. If referred, the system asks for the line item also, which becomes mandatory.
However we want to understand if there is a possibility of posting the Down Payment against the Purchase Order Header.
This is required, since if there are multiple line items in the purchase order, then creation of Down Payment Request as well as Down Payment becomes a tedious activity in SAP.
Someone innovative and has already worked on such requirement please reply.
Regards
Ketan Patel

Hi,
Try the following steps to pay to Vendor w.r.t PO:
1.Check the Vendor reconciliation A/C,
2.Go to FS00, and check Filed Status Group,
3.Go to OBC4, check the Filed Status Group, what u have mentioned for the Vendor reconciliation account.
4. Go To material management segment and put optional entry for the field of Purchase Order and save.
5.Now come to F-48, enter the date, vendor, assign the sp.G/L transaction(A),bank sub account, amount,
then enter, it will take to next screen
Here you enter amount & your purchase order number with reference to your are going to make the payment. Now simulate and save.
After the GR & IR is done, Perform F-54 for Down Payment Clearing
