How to maintain payment term when incoming partial payment is made.

Question

Hi SAP Experts
I have a customer invoice with payment term as follows:
after 60 days close day limit 10
fixed day : 10
payment term :
Term 1 Percentage 4% No of days 15
Term 2 Percentage 4% No of days 30
Term 3 Fixed date 10 additional months 2
after 60 days close day limit 20
fixed day : 20
payment term :
Term 1 Percentage 4% No of days 15
Term 2 Percentage 4% No of days 30
Term 3 Fixed date 20 additional months 2
after 60 days close day limit 31
fixed day : 31
payment term :
Term 1 Percentage 4% No of days 15
Term 2 Percentage 4% No of days 30
Term 3 Fixed date 31 additional months 2
Default for Baseline date calculation : Posting Date
When i enter a incoming partial payment, the due date is recalculated.
Therefore my due date for the following customer is always extended.
Can you advice me what I can do to do a partial payment but also maintain the due date?

Hi Shakeer,
Please see below points.
1. When you post the cutomer invoice based on the described payment term logic by you, system should logically split the Tranaction amount as described in Payment terms. So is that happening? Hope I am not missing anything. Aslo just validate whether you are creating the Payment terms in the right manner.
2. I am just thinking may be if you default the Baseline date to Doument data, would that help.
In the mean time I am trying to create the same scenario, to see the impact.
