Lost cash discount

Hi Guru's
We need help to understand why cash discount has not been applied by a payment at 10.05.2008
For vendor xxxxx for 2 documents we did loose cash discount:
FI doc xxxxx
FI doc xxxxx
Invoice date is 25.04.2008 and posting date is 02.05.2008 for both FI docs. Payment term is xxxx 14 days 2 % cash discount , 30 days net.
Invoice verification releasing take place at 04.05.08 for both FI docs as well.
Our understanding is that both invoices must be included at payment run at 10.05.2008. But this did not happen. Please can you help us to understand why? What do we make wrong?
thanks and regards
sunitha

Hi! Sunitha
Please check what is the "DEFAULT BASE LINE DATE" for this payment term, it appears that the baseline date is set to document date (date of invoice) for the payment term used ,which would be 25.04.2008 in your case. Thus system uses this date (starting point) to compute the due date for calculating the cash discount , since payment run is done on 10.05.2008, which is 15days ( > 14 days as per payment term) from the base line date , it would not include this document for taking discount.
Hope this helps.Good luck.
BR,
Garry.

Cash discount clearing (Net method)

All
I require clarification, There are two scenarios. One to calculate discount while making payment and another one is while booking invoice.
I am clear regarding "To calculate discount while making payment"
I am not clear on "To calculate discount whlie invoice booking". I am aware of the FBKP config settings
I had gone thru the SDN links and not clear of "The Cash Discount Clearing Account is only used when the 'Net Procedure'
option is selected in the Accounting tab of the 'AP Invoice' function."
What is that "AP invoice function". Where can we find ?
Regards
Raj

Hi Raj,
We have configured our ECC6.0 system to the Gross method, which means that at the time of the payment program, it takes the discount (if applicable). My understanding of the Net method is that it calculates the discount at the time of the invoice posting HOWEVER we chose not to use that method, because the Amount Split tab is not available in that method and we need to split our invoices for tax reasons (where part of the invoice is tax reportable/deductable but not all).
To configure GROSS vs NET discount:
1. set up an expense GL account for Gross. Set up a balance sheet account for Net
2. Goto FBKP, Automatic Postings, Cash discount and payment differences, Cash discount clearing (SKV) and enter the expense GL Account. (the NET method needs a balance sheet account GL here)
3. Then go to SPRO
Under Financial Accounting (New)\AR&AP\Business Transactions\Outgoing Payments\Outgoing Payments Global Settings\Define Accounts for Cash Discount Taken (OBXU)
For Gross setting, enter the same expense GL Account. Net setting should have the balance sheet account.
4. Under Financial Accounting (New)\AR&AP\Business Transactions\Outgoing Payments\Outgoing Payments Global Settings\Define Accounts for Lost Cash Discount (OBXV)
For Gross settting, this should be blank. Net setting should have the balance sheet account here also.
5. Under Financial Accounting (New)\Financial Accounting Global Settings\Document\Document Type\Define Document Types (OBA7) for Entry View Click on all your Invoice Document Types
There is a box labeled Control data and then there is a checkbox labeled Net document type.
For Gross Config, that checkbox should be blank (unchecked).
We have found that using the GROSS setting requires us to create our own discounts lost/earned report based upon the payment program proposal logs.
Does that help?

Cash Discount Calculated for One Line Item and not for Other

Hi All,
We have devloped a Z program which is used to Write of InterCompany AR and AP recon Account to another GL Account. In this program to clear line item we have created a BDC which calls t-code FB05. Thsi program is running perfectly fine for all company codes.
There is new company code SG20 for which it is not clearing the line items. It has created a Session in SM35, when we analysed the seesin we found that for some line items system is calculating Cash Discount and for some other line items it is not but the payment Term is same for all the douments with 3% 14days.
I need your help in understanding that why for some line items system calculates the Cash Discout where as for others it is not calculation..also the Posting Date is same for all the documents.
Please advise what could be the reson for this.
Thanks!
Regards,
VIvek Srivastava

Hi
Cash discount is calculated based on the combination of baseline date and payment term conditions.
Hence please check the baseline date for all the documents, in which the cash discount is not appearing.
In your case, the possible reasons could be that 1) baseline date is different between these documents or 2) payment terms cash % is manually modified in the line item of the documents.

PMT Terms with Cash Discount

FI Experts,
I created a new payment term with a 1% discount if paid whithin 10 days. Can some one give me some steps as to what else needs to be configured in order to have this difference deducted at the time of payment run. I know have to set-up an account but not sure what fields I have to check in order to make it work.
1- Create new payment terms
2- I defined a G/L account for cash discount
Can some one tell me when I set-up the account if I have to set-it up a certain way? in FS00.
Thank You for your help.

Good to know that it is working. When you maintain payment term in vendor master, it SHOULD get defaulted when you perform FB60 for that vendor in that company code. Payment term for vendor cannot be maintained in General Data section, it is in Company code segment. Are you sure you are performing FB60 for the vendor in the company code in which you maintained payment term for that vendor in vendor master record? Please recheck. Also, if you have payment term in Purchasing Organization segment in vendor master record, it would not get defaulted in FB60. Here is what SAP help says on payment term field in vendor master record.
In most business transactions, the system defaults the terms of payment key specified in the master record of the customer/vendor in question.
In some transactions (for example, credit memos), however, the system does not default the key from the master record. Despite this, you can use the key from the customer/vendor master record by entering "*" in the field.

Not able to post vendor payment in case of Cash discount received

Hello
We are on SAP ECC 6.0
I'm not able to post an outgoing payment through F-53 T code when cash discount is received from vendor due to early payment before due date.
I get the following error message -
Tax code V0 for country IN has been deleted or incorrectly changed
Message no. FS201
Our tax calculation procedure is TAXINN and we are an indian company in India.
GL account for cash discount received is already defined in OBXU t code for SKE transaction key tax code wise.
V0 tax code is defined through FTXP.
I'm able to display correct cash discount amount and cash discount % when i click on select process open item in F-53 after entering document date; posting date; company code; currency; Bank GL A/c; Amount (Net of discount); value date and Vendor Account.
What am i missing? Why am i not able to post vendor outgoing payment?
Is it possible to post cash discount received to the credit of Stock / Inventory Account as quantity received is not consumed or quantity is lying in inventory?
Thanks.
Vimal

Hello Chintan
I have assigned GL A/c in OBXU t code with and without reference to tax code.
Still, i am not able to post outgoing payment when cash discount is received as i am paying it before due date.
Cannot i take credit of cash discount received to Inventory / Stock Account?
Is cash discount received always posted to non-Inventory / non-stock GL Account?
Thanks.

Clearing issue Incoming payment due to Cash discount ( customers)

Hello,
During processing automatic incoming payments the system don't clear the customer open item in case the customer has taken a cash discount.
The clearing should be done automatically in the posting area 2 but now the the user needs to do manual interventions in the FEBAN in order to clear the customer
We checked the payment terms and verified the discount taken by the customer and they are ok
After investigation we guess that the original SD invoice don't send the Discount amount and Discount base amount to FI, because we saw that those fields are empty in the FI document (RV),
Also in Billing the Cash discount base field in empty...
When i tried to create a manual customer invoice those fields are well filled in and the system clears the customer open item perfectly !
Any one an idea how to fix it ?

Hello,
Thanks for your feedback but the issue is not solved.
Is there difference in clearing behaviour in case the open item posting is orginated from a SD invoice ( Billing) because as stated before, when I make a FI sales invoice (FB60) the system perfectly accepts the cash discount and post and clears in postingarea 2
Also when I consult the open item position (FBL5N) the cash discount amount field is empty which is not the case when I post an FB60 invoice
Summarized
We are usiing the automatic bank statement program ( FEBC), during posting the system post perfectly posting area 1 (FEBP) but fails the post postingarea 2 ( the system makes a payment advice) the message the system generates ' Difference to large for clearing F5263'
Many thanks for help

Cash Discount in absolute value, not in %

Hello Friends,
I have a scenario with respect to terms of payment, where the customer is entitled for a cash discount of Rs.100 per unit if the invoice is cleared within 7 days from the date of invoice, Rs.75 per unit within 14 days & Rs.50 per unit within 21 days with total credit period of 45 days.
The problem I'm facing is that in the Terms of Payment configuration (transaction code OBB8), I'm able to store the cash discount in % and not in absolute value (field "percentage" under the "Payment Terms" heading in tcode OBB8).
Request your suggestion at the earliest.
Thnx & Rgds,
Padmanabhan

Hi,
The CASH DISCOUNT will be given based on the Payment terms with the CONDITION TYPE.
In the Standard the CASH DISCOUNT condition types are SKTO & SKTV.
If you are using the same condition types, change the CALCULATION TYPE for these condition types in V/06 to B ( which is fixed amount) and try.
Hope it will solve your requirement.

Payment Term - Cash Discount

All,
I think that I have an easy question, but just wanted claridifcation.. I need to create a new payment term with a simple cash discount - just 2% if paid in full within 30 days and if not, no cash discount. Also, this is just for purchasing vendors.
Within configuration with the payment terms, is the following correct for what I need to do:
Term 1. 2%   30 Days
Term 2. 0%   30 Days (note, that I would leave the percentage field blank for this second line).
At first I thought that I only needed the first line for it, but after reviewing other posts on this topic I have seen that I would probably need the two terms. However, I am unsure if I need to do anything with the Fixed Date and / or Additional Months field. Or, if what I have listed above should be correct.
If you could provide any assitance, it would be much apperciated.
Thanks!

Okay, thanks!
But just to clarify - the net due date is actually 30 days, and they offer a discount if we pay it within the 30 days - so basically if we pay it on time, there is a 2% discount!
So setting it up it would be:
2% 30Days
       30days
Correct?
Thanks for your quick reply!

F-53 and F-28, Customized columns for cash discount and %

Hi Expert,
With reference to the subject of: Customized columns for cash discount and % ...
I faced the problem of not able to set / defined hidden column for cash discount and % by creating a new variant.
Steps:
Create a variant
Click <administrator> button ... mark the columns hidden, and click <activate> button
Then click <Save> button
Problem: Every time I using the F-53/F-28, the layout is not working, and when goto check the variant settings, the cash discount and % columns remained unchecked.
SAP version: 4.6
Kindly advise.
Thanks and regards,
sbmel

Hi JP,
It is not working using field status group, as I am using F-53 and F-28 and not FB50/60/70.
The purpose I want to create variant for screen after clicking <process open item> is to control column display (hide cash discount and %). if the variant is working, I can create a customized Tcode for the F-53 and F-28.
Now problem is that variant seem not working.
Thanks and regards,

F-28 cash discount error

For making payment to the billing document from SD in f-28 t-code, we are getting the cash discount percentage but the cash discount amount is not displying even we specified the payment terms in Sales order creation. Even, if we specify manually the cash discount amount in f-28, its giving an warning message
ERROR : Cash discount-relevant amount is zero; check entry at the bottom left corner of the screen. When I click this warning, I get a pop-up screen with the same message and message no. F5073.
We have maintained the field status as given below:
Also check that in transaction OB41, Payment term is maintained as optional field in field status group Payment Transactions for posting key 31.
Also go to FS00 for the reconciliation account assigned to your vendor, the go to tab 'Create/bank/interest" and double click on the field status gorup.Check that in group Payment Transactions, the field Payment term is marked as optional field.)
And SD pricing for the material is also defined.
condition type : SKTO for the cash discount.
After doing all the abouve configurations, we are still getting the error,.
From FI side, we have no issues as it is giving the cash discount percentage and cash discount amount in f-28 correctly. and we are able to process the cash discount document, which gets generated automatically.
Only the problem From SD flow.

"Max. cash discount" not taken in F-58

We select u201Cmax. cash discountu201D in configuration, FBZP. Payment program will calculate discount without considering base line date.
However, this works only if payment run is done in F110 u2013 calculate discount based on only the payment term field. But if the payment done in transaction F-58, discount is calculated based on the base line date AND payment terms.
"Max. cash discount" works only in F110, but not in F-58. Has anyone experienced a similiar issue?

For manual paymenst i do not see any settings, but you can set the indication 'Cash Discount Terms Used for Displaying Items when Clearing' in Outgoing Payments> Manual Outgoing Payments> 'Define Tolerances (Vendors)' to display the first cash discount % (which is the max discount).
This will display the max discount i F-58
