FICA: clearing rules to applying payments against unpaid security deposits regardless of due date

Hi Folks,
We have a requirement in FICA clearing rules to apply the payment against unpaid security deposit irrespective of the due date. I have the below rule configured as the first step in my clearing variant.
Grouping String: 019 (statistical indicator); Grp Rule: 3; Char Value: H (security deposits); AIRI: 4; Group: 019
Sort characteristic: 010 (Due date); Rank: 3; Char value: H; Rank: 1
I have maintained the corresponding clearing variant in all the clearing types (account maintenance, automatic clearing, and incoming payments); However, I still see that the items are cleared only based on due date;
Am I missing something here? Please share your suggestions.
Thanks,
Santosh
Moderator update - question solved with FICA: Clearing rules for account maintenance & auto clearing to apply credits against unpaid security deposits regardless of due date
Message was edited by: William Eastman

Santosh:
This rule will not work in account maintenance. You would need to include the data about the credits into your grouping criteria in order for that to work. Most clearing rules do not work for account maintenance as they do for payments. You probably need to have a separate variant with a rule not based on statistical indicator, but rather based on transaction value or maybe create your own custom grouping via TFK116.

I have maintained the corresponding clearing variant in all the clearing types (account maintenance, automatic clearing, and incoming payments); Clearing rule is working perfectly during payments, however for account maintenance and automatic clearing it's not applying the credits against security deposits first. I still see that the items are cleared only based on due date;

F110 payment only possible 8 days after net due date, why?

Hi all,
When we try to post a payment in F110 by choosing a next p/date as for example 24 April all invoices with net due date up to that date will be included. In payment proposal only invoices with net due date up to 15 April is included, not invoices with net due date 16 April and after. There is something with a tolerance of 8 days but I don´t know where this configuration is set. Payment terms is 30 days net and there I can´t find anything about any tolerance days and i can´t find anything in FBZP either. Does anyone know where I can find these days set?
We want to create the payment per net due date. We don´t work with payment order.

Hi,
Check in transaction code FBZP, all company codes. Double click on the company code, you will the find the tolerance days for payable.
Thanks

How to make a single payment for different open items with same due date

Hi,
I have created a payment method and selected "Payment per due day " option in payment method company code settings.
Even I have selected that option, Payment will not happen grouping for the items with same due date
for ex : I have two open items with one due date and another open item with another due date so when I am trying performing F110 system should make a single payment for the item with same due date and seperate payment for another item.
But system making single payment for all items
Could you please suggest anything how to make a seperate payment with due date.

VK GUPTA

Hi,
Please check Vendor Master data: FK02 ->company code data -> Payment transaction accounting: unflag 'individual payment'.
Make a test and let me know if it's okay.

Applying payments against Sales Orders

In 2005A SP01, you can't apply an incomming payment to a Sales Order.
In the US version of 2007A, it seems that you can apply a payment to the Sales Order.
I haven't been able to get this to work in the Australian version of 2007A.
Anyone know if it is possible or not?
Thanks in advance,
JP.

I think you are taking about Down Payment Invoice which is a new feature in SBO 2007A and did not exist in 2005A version.
I belive when you say 2007A it should be the same which is used in the America's. If it is so that you should have this. Please check inside Sales A/R and look for Down payment Invoice.
If you open it you can see Copy from Button using which you should be able to copy an SO.

Payment terms and Due date field gets emptied after residual clearing

Hi
There is advance of Rs.50000 in Vendor ledger and Invoice of Rs.200000 (with payment term - G019)
I cleared these two line items (residual clearing). One new line item got created of Rs.150000. When i saw that line item, i saw that there payment term field and due date field got emptied. My requirement is that the original payment term entered in initial invoice document (of Rs.200000) should automatically get populated in new line item of Rs.150000.
How to fulfill this requirement?

Thanks for the prompt reply.
I wanted to ask one more thing. Same way when i do partial clearing (not residual), is it possible to populate the invoice's due date in advance line item. One link is that my invoice reference gets populated advance line item. So i want due date (not payment term) also to get populated in advance line item.
Please help.

Payment Block removed or allow to make the payment after the due date

Hi,
Regarding Payment block, we have created one payment term with block indicator and assigned to some vendors. So each posting system will generate the entry with payment block, once the document crossed the due date (assume that 30days) system wants to allow to make the payment to the vendor without deleting or removing the payment block. Is it possible.
govind

Hello,
For this change, you need to develop a program and need to identify the age of 30 days invoices and remove payment block for those invoices. So 30 days aged invoices can clear.
Logic: go to BSIK and find out ZFBDT of the document and deactivate the ZLSPR (Payment block).
Or
try to find out any functional module or user exit is available while clearing invoices. if available maintain the above logic.

Terms of Payment Due date as Tuesday Every Week.

Dear Gurus,
I was trying to figure out a term of payment by the following rule:
If the invoice was posted on Nov 2009, the due date shall be
From Nov 2 to 8:　Due date is Dec 22 (Tuesday)　47 days pasted.
From Nov 9 to 15: Due date is Dec 29 (Tuesday) 47 days pasted.
From Nov 16 to 22: Due date is Jan 5 2010 (Tuesday) 47 days pasted.
The terms of payment in OBB8 are all configured by monthly base. Is there a way that I can do it by weekly base?
Looking forward to your reply.
Thank you very much.
Emma

Hi,
You can create different payment terms for 7 Days,14 Days,21 Days like that and create one more payment term of Installment type and assign the above payment terms to that so that your due will be seperated into different line items with the above .
thanks and regards,

SD down payment invoice due date

Hi,
Down payment request invoice is generated in SD ,and its clear that the due date in FI document corresponding to this will show the posting date as Due date.but our client needs that the due in downpayment request should be according to the payment terms .i.e it should show due date according to payment term days in the FI document generated automatically when the invoice is saved.is there any user exit /any modification so that the due date should be calculated in background accoding to payment terms when the invoice is saved.
warm regards,
rohit

Hi Glynn,
I have gone through the sap note ,but in case if the payment terms day is only 5 days i.e today i will do the invoice and after 5 days it should be due. how this can be done and also if 40 days is payment terms then how we can map this in SAP.
Thanks & Regards,
Rohit

Calendar date & net due date (FI) PAYMENT TERMS - OBB8 Vendor Invoice

I read many posts on SDN forum about the topic.
Anyway, I didn't find a simple solution for that.
My aim is is to calculate a net due date based on working days.
So, If I've got a 30 days document days payment term ("Deafult for baseline date" = Document date ; Additional Months = '2'), a Vendor Invoice (document date = 12.05.2011), by standard net due date will be 12.06.2011.
FROM 12.05.2011 to 12.06.2011 =
32 CALENDAR DAYS
22 WORKDAYS (32 minus 10 holyday - 2 weekends)
WORKDAYS PAYMENT TERMS Within 30 workdays Due net
Vendor Invoice document date = 12.05.2011
plus 30 workdays = DUE DATE 22.06.2011 (and not 12.06.2011)
Can I obtain that with a standard functionality?
Edited by: Roberto Buono on Jul 1, 2011 2:29 PM

Hi,
Sadly this is not available as standard. As per your need the Net due date should be worked out by using a factory calendar; but what this does is it delinks the direct correlation between the number of days in the payment terms with the difference between the due date and baseline date. I hope you are aware that Net Due date is not stored but is a variable calculated during run time in reports.
There are four things you can try:
1. The simplest to do is: As the number of weekends are fixed; and if the intention is to give a 30 working day term, then add on the number of weekends and make the payment term effectively for say 40 days. There will be marginal variations over what you want. Best part here is that config remains standard.
2. All the receivable reports will use a function module (usually the same one) to calculate the net due date; enhance the FM and make it consider a factory calendar for calculating due date.
3. Enhance the accounting interface, and in runtime; modify the days that are coming from the payment term; based on a factory calendar, and update the accounting document. This delinks the days mentioned in the payment term and the accounting document and may not be palatable.
4. Enhance the accounting interface, and in runtime; calculate the due date and update the baseline date with it and make the payment term as "Immediate" yielding the desired due date. Not very elegant. Alternatively add to the baseline date days equivalent to holidays and weekends and keep the days from payment terms constant and update the accounting document. Better...
All four options have somes pros and cons. I do not see any other means of acheiving what you want. Maybe you could restrict users to a custom receivables/due date/ageing report which delivers what you want and lock the standard reports.
Cheers..

Payment terms Payables - Can a discount period be longer than the Due Date

My client regularly pays their supplier invoices beyond the due date but yet deducts the early payment discounts
anyway
I have tried unsuccessfully to create payment terms that would have the correct due date ex Net 30
But would nevertheless calculate the discount they wish to take even beyond that due date
For example try to set up a payment term 2% 60 Net 30
But the discount is always canceled beyond the due date even if I set the discount period to go beyond the due date
Now it is true they could still manually take it but the system would no longer calculate it for them
The only way I think I can make this work is to make the due date period equal to the discount period
So 2%60 Net 60
Am I missing something here
The client used to be able to do this automatically in his old Accpac dos system (take the discount anyway)
Any comments would be appreciated
Thank you
Georges Ostiguy

Hi Georges,
the application considers the due date as the pertinent date & uses this date to calculate discounts, ageing reports etc.So this date cannot be used as 'merely advisory'. This is also the reason why this date is always the last date where the application allows an automatic discount calculation to.
It is possible to manually change the due date of AP invoices & then adjust the 'Cash Discount Date Offset' field in the accounting tab of the document. This then allows an automatic re-calculation of the discount according to the payment terms & the updated due date.
Since your customer uses the due date on the AP invoice received as an FYI only, you could let them enter this date in the BP Reference field on the document in addition to the actual vendor refenece number & then make that column visible in Step 6 of 9 in the payment wizard. Then maintain the actual due date as decided by your customer in the document & adjust the cash discount offset date.
All the best,
Kerstin

Payment received on date other then due date-CML

Hi Everyone,
I am working in FI Module CML using ECC Server 4.7. I know its an older version.
I am stuck up in loans management repayments, when the installment is received on a date other then due date, the cash flow itis generating is of the same due datedate which we have entered in repayment schedule while creating contarct.
The problem comes where it is received on a date other then due date , because of which it should calculate the intterest for the next period on higher balance for the number of days for which the payment have been received late.
I am working on ECC4.7
e.g due date of repayment 01/07/2007
Payment recvd. on 15/01/2007
Next due date 01/10/2007
Problem is: it is calculating thr interest for the whole 90days period .
Actually it should calculate interest for 15 days on higher balance and rest 75 days on reduced balance.
Please reply if you have some advice or solution. Thanks a lot.
Regards,
JG

Hi Megha,
Thanks for taking your time to help me out. Actually, what you mentioned needs to be done for every contract individually.
If I have 500 contracts and it wont be feasible to do that for each one of them. So I guess there must be some other way out. I have been stuck in this for four days.
Thanks,
JG

FI: Payment condition calculating 2 due-dates depending on document-date

Hello community!
I'm searching for a definiton of a FI-payment-condition which is calculating two different due-dates depending on document-date.
E.g.:
Invoices dated from 01.03.08 till 09.03.08 should be paid on 10.04.08.
Invoices dated from 10.03.08 till 31.03.08 should be paid on 10.05.08.
Or must this be realized by a FI-substitution???
Thanks for an answer.
Kind regards,
Bernd

Hello,
You didnot mention if u need posting date as base or document date. However your scenario, below is
the answer for your query is
1. Create one customised payment term only eg. XXX
    for first scenario,
   Day limit is 9 ;
   under payment terms tab , fixed date 10, Addl month 1
   for second scenario
   in the same payment term XXX
   Day limit is 31,
   under payment terms tab , fixed date 10, addl month 2.
Explanation.
as day limit is 9, what ever the dates of transaction between 1-9 it picks first setting
and after 9th until 31st it picks second setting.
I hope this clarifies you.
Thanks

Clearing rule in FICA

Hi,
In my current project there is a clearing rule to clear the open amounts.
suppose customer has two open items:-1. Electric bill(enery bill):-$100
2. water heater(non-energy bill):-$50
If customer pays $50(exact amount of water heater) then first water heater bill will be cleared.
If customer pays $70 then electric bill will be cleared.
I want to know are there any standard fuction module or program which decides which amount will be clear first? or it is totally controled by SPRO confiuration?
Thanks
Soni

For clearing you use the transaction F.13 and use the option G/R account special process. In this case the field assignment field is not important.
An other option to Prepare Automatic Clearing and set up ther for the GR/IR account a rule based on PO an PO line item number
There are to sort keys for PO's use the ome with order / line item
