Downpayment Block

HI,
I want to know where we can configure the vendor down payment block reasons. I want to put a block on every down payment request ( F-47) that is created. Also once it is blocked, where can the user be able to go and remove the block and make the payment.
Thanks,
Shruti

Hi Sruthi,
Whenever you post a down Payment or down Payment Request then it automatically gets blocked with Payment Block A. This is a standard functionality by SAP. The main reason I can think of why it gets blocked automatically is that, SAP expects the user to determine which invoice(s) the down payment should be adjusted against.
Incoming invoices could potentially be adjusted against downpayments arbitrarily, if the down payments do not carry a payment block
SAP explicity expects you go unblock downpayments so that they can be adjusted.
You must specify the special G/L indicators when you define your company code specificaions in the payment program. If you do this, the system automatically sets a payment block when you enter a down payment. This block indicator prevents the down payments from being cleared straight away. By canceling the block indicator with the document change function, you release the down payment for clearing. You can also enter a due date for the down payment. This specifies from which date the payment program can then clear the down payment.

  • Downpayment - invoice blocked for FI

    Hello SD experts,
    I have a problem in downpayment process when the amount of customer's advance payment is bigger than amount on final invoice. For example: customer paid 25.000 in advance, I posted downpayment and then final invoice is issued only for 23.000. So, we can say we should return to customer 2.000.
    Here is how we enter documents in SAP:
    1. Sales order for downpayment request is created (with billing plan). We put one item (for example service) with price 25.000.
    2. Downpayment request (invoice) is created.
    3. We post downpayment to FI (25.000).
    4. We create final invoice
    On final invoice additional item is automatically added by SAP. Additional item is downpayment settlement. By default both items get same price (value), that is 25.000.
    As I said, I want to charge customer only 23.000. So, I change the amount for first item from 25.000 to 23.000. As soon as I do this and save the document, it becomes blocked and accounting document is not created.
    It can't be released to FI because I get notice about difference between values of two items on invoice.
    My question is: Do we have the process correctly set up ? Are we entering documents in the right way ?
    Another thing – if I look at the printout, I think is ok. I have a line that says that amount to be paid is -2.000 (cusotmer paid more).
    In other cases, if received advance is same or smaller then the final amount, there aren't any problems with blocked invoices.
    Thank you for help,

    HI CB,
    While posting a invoice by MIRO, if you come across the following message as block for payment than it is because of Three way matching. You can see three way matching status in purchase order status tab in transaction code ME23N and in purchase order history in item detail.
    Generally invoice is blocked for payment because of two issues:-
    u2022 Price difference: - Price in invoice is higher than purchase order (above tolerance limit).
    u2022 Quantity difference: - Quantity in MIRO is higher than MIGO (or good receipt).
    Once invoice is blocked for payment you need to release it for payment via transaction code MRBR. For next time while posting an invoice through MIRO you should post invoice within tolerance limit.
    You can display and change tolerance limit for invoice verification in customizing with help of transaction code OMR6.

  • Block settlement to auc for downpayment

    Hi SAP Friends,
    There is a specific requirement in one of our project.
    In an investment project, advance payment is issued against a service PO with ref to WBS. The requirement is to block the settlement to AUC for this advance payment only until service entry acceptance is made. Other commitment in the WBS should go as usual without problem with regular path of setlement to AUC and from AUC to Fixed asset.
    Regards
    Srinivasan

    Hi Srinivasan,
    Please check if this could be of any help to you.
    Specify Capitalization of AUC/Down-Payment
    In this step, you determine how the system will deal with down payments on AuCs and their closing invoice during the settlement (capitalization) of the AuC. This system setting is particularly relevant for respresenting down payments from previous years in the asset history sheet.
    Standard Settings
    The system capitalizes down payments as follows in the standard system:
    If you capitalize a down payment from the previous year and the closing invoice from the current year together, the amount of the down payment is transferred with the transaction type for asset data from previous years, and only the difference between the closing invoice and the down payment is transferred with the transaction type for current acquisitions.
    Activities
    If you want to change the default setting, you must set the indicator for the capitalization of assets under construction without down payments. If this indicator is set, the system ignores down payments during the line item settlement of assets under construction. The total amount of the closing invoice is always transferred with the transaction type according to its posting year.
    SPRO -  Asset Accounting - Transactions - Capitalization of Assets under Construction - Specify Capitalization of AUC/Down-Payment
    Indicator transfer down payments from previous years
    When you set this indicator, the system ignores downpayments during the line item settlement of assets under construction. The total amount of the closing invoice is then always transferred to the capitalized asset using the transaction type based on the year of the closing invoice.
    Use
    This has the following result:
    There is an opposite effect when the indicator is not set, and you capitalize a downpayment from a previous year along with the closing invoice from the current year. In this case, the system transfers the amount of the downpayment from the previous year using a transaction type for old assets data. It transfers the difference between the total amount of the closing invoice and the downpayment using a transaction type for new acquisitions.

    Thanks a lot.

    Where did you get this type of situation / this is a customer requirement ?
    You can remove the payment block, follow the below procedure:
    SPRO>Financial Accounting>Financial Accounting Global Settings>Document>Line Item>Document Change Rules, Line Item
    In that screen goto position and give the the account type "K" & Field "BSEG-ZLSPR" - you will get the field - select the field you will get one more screen in that screen remove the check box "Line item not cleared"

  • Vendor Downpayment Request  Payment Order

    Dear All
    We are processing most of our vendor payments through Automatic Payment Program which initially create the payment order and later once we upload the EBS system clears the vendor open item. All the vendor open items which are having payment order are locked and cannot be cleared without payment order. This is a control so that no duplicate payment can be made. But we recently found a flaw in SAP where although normal open items are blocked but in case if there is any payment order for downpayment request, we can still process the payment through F-48 meaning we can create the down payment for the DPR for which payment order exist so there is a chance of duplicate payment to vendor. Please advise if someone face the same issue and is there any solution to control it.
    Best Regards

  • AP Payment Block urgent

    Dear All
    I am working in ECC 6.0 version,
    While posting vendor downpayment in F-48 Tcode, the payment block field is
    hitting with 'A' automatically, eventhough i didnt give in vedor master.
    In vendor master I have given as 'free for payment'.
    Pls give me a solution.
    Thanks in advance
    Regards
    Ravindra

    Hello Ravindra
    The payment block is hard coded in these cases. The  reason for this is:          
    The idea of issuing a down payment is not to offset or to create a  debit position to the existing invoices in the account...therefore a  downpayment MUST be blocked. After the related invoice has been created,you will assign the downpayment to the invoice. A downpayment   should be assigned to special balance sheet positions  therefore you  have to use the special G/L posting feature. If you only want to offset some invoices in a payment/dunning run, use the credit memo transaction  
    (F-41) or create a debit entry using FB01.

  • F110 Blocking all Invoices on a Vendor due to one Un-released PO.

    Hi All,
    We are implementing Vendor Downpayment functionality. I have done all the configuration and we did not activate the business object LOG_MMFI_P2P. We are just using the conventional Vendor Downpayment functionality. We get POs created from SRM. I am getting an error message when I am trying to run Payment run for a vendor for which I have created multiple PO's. Few PO's have Down Payment requests and few do not have. For one PO I created an invoice twice the amount of PO amount, so it went on unreleased status in SRM. Then when I ran the Payment run F110 for that vendor, the payment run is blocking all the other Invoices as well even though they are for different PO's.
    Here is what I did
    1) Created a PO for $100 from SRM
    2) Created a Down Payment request of 50$ for that PO in F-47 and did not process the down payment. Now I processed MIGO for 100$, then created an invocie for 100$. Now i have created another invoice for $100 and posted that invoice. It went on payment block and i released the Payment block for that invoice in MRBR. Since the invoice amount is greater than PO amount in SRM the PO went on un released status and same in SAP as well.
    3) Parallely I have created few other PO's and Invoices for the same vendor without any down payment requests.
    4) Now when I ran F110 for this vendor, due to the unrelased status of one single PO, all other invoices are getting blocked in F110 run. I am not sure why is this happening, any help would be greatly appreciated.
    The errors I am getting are
    Purchasing document XXXX not yet released
    Purchase order XXXXX (assigned to an account) not permitted
    Information re. vendor XXXX/ paying company code XXX...

  • Down payment processed by F110 is blocked

    We would like to make a down payment on a purchase order. I entered the payment request with transaction F-47 and the special G/L sign. Then i run the automatic payment program F110 and the item gets paid. The payment program generates a posting with a debit on the vendor and a credit on the sub-bank account. However, the vendor item gets automatically blocked for payment. Therefore, when the invoice is posted, the advance payment will not be automatically deducted.
    does someone know why this advance payment gets a payment block and how we can avoid having this payment block?
    Thanks and regards,
    marlies

    Hi,
    Clear the down-payment made against invoice through T-Code : F-54 before final invoice payment. When you clear the DP against invoice It will transfer the advance (DP) from special GL to normal GL and clear the payment block.
    Down-payment flow :
    F-47 : For downpayment request.Noted item. No FI entry
    F-48 : For down payment to vendor. As per down-payment request we have to pay DP and without request also we can pay the advance.
    F110 : APP
    FB60 : Invoice
    F-54 : Transfer of Advance from special G/L to Normal by clearing special G/L Items
    F110 : Final payment

  • Credit Managament: avoid credit block for down payment invoices

    1) Downpayment - when an order is blocked, can we create a billing
    document of the downpayment request created in slaes order. Logically
    the customer wants to pay for this downpayment immediately and process
    the order
    Notes: If credit management is activated at sales order level and In
    Milestone Billing scenario or Project Sales order scenario, at Sales
    order level we have a Downpayment (Z0000 - Downpayment) Milestone
    usage and Other Milestone invoice Usages.
    The business requirement is Customer need to pay the downpayment
    invoice before executing the Sales order.
    In SAP when the Sales order is blocked for Credit Management, system is
    not able to create the Downpayment invoice also. to creat the invoice
    we have to release the order first. However we dont want to release the
    order but want to receivce the downpayment and then may be we can
    manually release the order and process. The reason is suppose we have
    an automatic release to production or PR or creation of service order,
    we would like to process them only after the downapayment, now for
    creating the wownpayment invoice for receiving the downpayment, we have
    to release the order which shall further process the order
    automatically. Please suggest a solution for the same to avoid the
    credit block for the Downpayment invoices.

    I think this can be enabled easily.
    For the combination of Credit Control Area, Credit Group and Risk Category, you should have enabled the Dynamic/Static credit check, you can configure it such a way that it only gives you a warning message and doesnot block your sales order. This should solve ur problem

  • Down payment block - Urgent Pls

    Hi all ,
    Can some plesae let me know how to set payment block default on prepayments and cash in advance documents in order to prevent prepayments and cash in advance documents in special purpose ledger from premature payment refund to customer
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi Prasad,
    It is SAP standard functionality, and it meant to prevent the Down payment from being paid when you run F110 - Auto-pay run. Logically the system should not be clearing the downpayment during auto-paymentrun, since the down payment should be cleared manually, hence the payment block.
    If at all you want to change the functionality of this you can of course change this in Customising, but my opinion is thatyou should not.

  • Configure downpayment to eliminate proforma payments

    Dear experts,
    i am working on a downpayment configuration which is intended to replace the manual process of paying vendors by proforma.
    Current process:
    Payment in advance is required before goods are delivered
    Proforma gets authorised
    PO is raised for the full order value
    The pro-forma invoice gets parked on the system with a manual payment block
    O-Proforma unpaid       9- Pro-Forma paid
    Data is entered into spreadsheet for monitoring
    Once the GR has been posted the Pro-Forma will be posted - Manual block will not be removed
    At the moment Pro-forma are not being paid through the normal payment run- Manual payment request is being procesed
    Once the payment document & the Pro-forma document both are on the vendor a/c, they need to be cleared down
    When the vendor sends in the tax invoice a scan of this tax invoice is being attached to the Proforma posting.
    How can i acheive the above                                                                                Finally, when we receive the tax invoice, how can i process the tax difference since the pro-forma has no tax element.
    This might be long but please expert your help will be appreciated.
    Thank you

    You could try the regular down payment feature by creating a special GL account. Please refer to this forum that has [the steps|Re: Step by Step configuration of vendor downpayment;.
    This is more a financial configuration of vendor down payments. Any balance at period end gets appropriately classified in the financial statements, which is a benefit. Besides the system will prompt about the downpayment that has been made, so that they can be adjusted while accounting invoices subsequently.
