Hi Rajendra,
Are you using a Service PO.
Downpayment functionality is not available for srevice PO.
Below is the technical reason behind it.
==================
First let us not fully compare the working of a material PO with a
service PO, and that too in this specific scenario where we have the
Srv. based IV indicator set(EKPO-LEBRE), as both of them accomplish
different business requirements and the MM-SRV design has been very
carefully integrated into the MM-PUR core, so that the usability of
procuring materials or services looks seamless.
Since we can only provide a PO reference while doing downpayments and
not service line level information like PACKNO and INTROW, the
downpayments are posted for the account assignment of the PO and not
with respect to each service line.
Seeing the design we confirmed that this new EhP4 functionality of
executing downpayment clearing from MIRO, is actually not available
for this scenario due to their technical limitations. During MIRO, the
design to read the PO data is based on each service line's information,
and since for a particular service line we wont be able to fetch the
downpayments done against it, we cannot pass on the data to MM Invoice
Verification, and only if they receive a downpayment value at their
side, they will be able to show the "Down payment clearing" button in
MIRO.
So could you please make use of transaction like FB05 and F-54 to clear
the downpayments.
