Mile stone billing with Down payment clearing

Hi,
Urgent help needed.
I need to set up mile stone billing plan at item level with down payment getting automatically offset with Invoice
ie,
I have 10% down payment (FAZ).
And mile stone invoicing of 40% and 60% each.
I have raised down payment request and the incoming payment is posted.
Now, when I raise the invoices, I want the down payment received auotomatically deducted from the invoice amount and shown as separate line item in the invoice. What settings need to be done?
ie, if 10000 EUR is the total amount, down payment is 1000 EUR.
My first invoice should show 4000 - 400 = 3600 EUR due from the cutomer and second invoice shud have 6000-600=5400 EUR due.
The item category is ZTAO
I have maintained the following settings:
1. Condition type AZWR in the pricing procedure with requirement as 2 (item with pricing) and the calculation formula 48
2. Copy control set up for Order type TA with billing type FAZ for the item category ZTAO with Copying requirement 20
3. Copy control set up for Order type TA with billing type F2 for the item category ZTAO with Copying requirement 23
But the invoice is not showing the down payment amount. Can any one tell me what is that I am missing? This is in ECC6.0
Thank You,
Resmi.

Any one who come across a solution, pls mail us!!
Thanks,

Mile stone billing with partial quantity.

Hi,
We are facing problem in the milestone billing. we have scenario where we have payment terms (Ex: 10% advance, 70% on delivery, 10% on installation and remaining 10% on completion) with the materials having multiple quantity. Delivery will be in partial, so except the advance invoice all the remaining invoice require change in the billing quantity before billing, but in the system billing quantity showing in gray mode. After delivery also remaining (10% installation) also will be on different quantity i.e. actually installed at the site.
As per the law invoicing has to be done with in the 14 days of the installation of the work, once the installation over for partial quantity we required to do the invoice irrespective of the delivered quantity.
In the system if we do the invoice for the total quantity at the time advance after that we are unable to change the invoice quantity in the subsequent invoices.
Please suggest us how to make enable the billing quantity field in case of milestone billing.
Ex: let us say sales order is created for qty 10 with the value of 1,00,000.00 as payment terms as follows.
10% Advance, 70% on delivery, 10% on installation, 10% final completion.
First we have raised the 10% advance invoice using 1st milestone with the total quantity.
When we deliver, we deliver only partial quantity i.e. qty. 5, so we have to create the invoice for (50,000-5,000) Rs 45,000. But when we create the second invoice we are unable to change the billing quantity. Same way when we create the third invoice after installation we may have to bill for qty. 3 if only 3 machines are installed out of 5 delivered, so again we require the quantity change.

Upendra

hi
Milestone billing means distributing the total amount to be billed over multiple billing dates in the billing plan.
As each milestone is successfully reached, the customer is billed either a percentage of the entire project cost or simply a pre-defined amount.
During sales order processing, the system determines from the item category whether a billing plan is required and, if so, which type of plan
The type of billing plan that is determined at this point is set up in Customizing and cannot be changed in the sales document.
Billing plans for periodic billing and milestone billing plans for project-related milestone billing have different overview screens so that you can enter data relevant to your
processing.
For example, for milestone billing, you must be able to enter data to identify the individual milestones.
IMG configuration requires :-
1. Maintain billing plan types for milestone billing in OVBO.
2. Define date description in SM30 - V_TVTB.
3. Maintain Date Category for Billing Plan Type IN OVBJ.
4. Allocate date category in SM30 - V_TFPLA_TY.
5. Maintain date proposal for Billing Plan Type in OVBM.
6. Assign Billing Plan Type to Sales Documents Type in OVBP.
7. Assign Billing Plan Type to Item Categories in OVBR.
8. Define rules for determining the date in OVBS.
Milestone billing is typically used for billing projects, such as plant engineering and construction projects. Such projects often include a series of milestones that mark the completion of different stages of the work. In the SAP R/3 System, milestones are defined
in a network along with planned and actual dates for the completion of work. The milestones are also assigned to the billing dates in the billing plan.
Each milestone-related billing date is blocked for processing until the Project System confirms that the milestone is completed.
Delivery-relevant order items for which a milestone billing plan applies are billed on the basis of the requested delivery quantity and not on the total of the confirmed quantities.

ME2DP & Down Payment Clearing LIV

Dear All,
I am facing three issues while creating and clearing down payment through ME2DP and MIRO.
1- While clearing down payment in MIRO, system is not clearing FI down payment document automatically. At the time of posting,, system generate two documents, one is Invoice and other is Down Payment.
2- After posting Invoice in MIRO with Down Payment clearing button, Status Red is activated in ME2DP which was green after creating down payment.
3- After executing all the entries from Procure to Payment, there is still Down Payment request outstanding in Purchase Order History.
Waiting for reply!
Regards
AJ

Hi Abdul,
The purpose of using ME2DP is you can enter down payment data in purchase orders at header and item level.
You can use the down payment clearing function to clear down payments that you have posted with reference to a purchase order directly in logistics invoice verification (without going to the relevant financial accounting transactions).
If you perform down payment clearing in logistics invoice verification, when you enter an incoming invoice for a purchase order, the system proposes all down payments that have been posted with reference to the purchase order and that are not yet completely cleared, for down payment clearing. The system posts the down payment clearing document together with the invoice document.
By using ME2DP you can avoid making the down payment clearing in financial accounting as it will get cleared while posting MIRO.
Also, refer this note 1637282
Hope you will get some idea.

Shashi

Issue with down payment tax cal and clearing it aganest vendor inv

HI,
I have an issue with down payment tax cal.
1.     I had configured withholding tax and raised down payment, tax has been cal
2.     In the next step I had raised inv, at this time also tax had been cal
3.     When I am doing down payment clearing the tax collected at the time of down payment had to be reversed but itu2019s not.
Can any one give me solution for clearing the tax that cal on down payment.
Thanking you.

Dear
Vendor master has got tax codes both at the time of payment and at the time of invoice. Hence system is calculating tds on both occassions.
Since you pay advance first tds calculated is right. Now while doing miro remove the tax codes manually and do miro/mir7/fb60.
If already MIRO/MIR7/FB60 done then reverse the invoice document and clear the tax GL accounts.

Cancel down payment cleared

Hello,
in my business workflow I manage billing plans with down payments. I would like to know what is the right procedure, if there is one, to manage the following process:
- I have a billing plan for 1000 u20AC: a down payment request for 200 u20AC and a subsequent invoice for the total amount of 1000 u20AC;
- down-payment request is created, released in SD and the payment is cleared in FI, with transaction F-29;
- after that I create the final invoice for 1000 u20AC with the clearing of the down payment for 200 u20AC, resulting in a total amount to be paid of 800 u20AC; then I release into accounting the final invoice;
Now, what if I want to cancel the down-payment request? Is there a standard defined procedure to manage this case? Or is it a not expected behaviour, and for that reason a case that should not take place?
Thanks in advance for your support.
Best regards,
Andrea

Hi,
If the down payment has been paid and if you want to cancel it,then it can be done by canceling the payment.
For this we have to know the clearing document number.
Goto the T.Code "FBL5n".Here you can get the clearing document.
Goto the T.Code "FBRA" and reset the cleared item.
Give the reason and reset it.
Now that down payment will appear in open item in "FBL5N" T.Code.
It can be canceled by using the T.Code "VF11".

Krishna.

Error -Account 'Down-payments clearing account' could not be found for area

When I am trying to pass a down payment entry by debiting vedor and crediting bank with asset it is giving an error as follows.
Account 'Down-payments clearing account' could not be found for area 01
Message no. AU133
Please help me to rectify the same.
Thanks in advance
Deepak

HI
Please pay attention at the possible causes of message AU133:
1. Error AU133:
   a) You have not defined a contra account for acquisition value postings in the Asset Accounting Customizing settings (Transaction AO90).However, this is required as of Release 4.6C because, as is the case for all other integration postings in Asset Accounting, invoice receipt postings have to be displayed in Asset Accounting via the new posting kernel to ensure an identical document
structure.
   b) You have defined the account in Asset Accounting, however, it is not created in the affected company code.Check whether the account is correct and create it for the company code, if necessary.
2. You have entered an asset reconciliation account for the "Contra account: Acquisition value posting" (for example, the same account as for   "Acquisition:Acquis. and production costs" account).This is not permitted.Check whether your account determination is correct
   (Transaction AO90) in Asset Accounting Customizing. The same applies
   for the 'Contra account: Down payment posting'.
3. As "Contra account: Acquisition value posting" you entered an asset G/L account. If necessary change the automatic posting indicator in the G/L account master record.
4.Check if you need revaluation accounts in depreciation areas involved   (AO90):
-Revaluation acquis. and production costs
-Offsetting account: Revaluation APC
Please run also programm RACKONTO where missing or wrong customizing
the accoutn determinations per company code is displayed
Also have a look at note 7595 in this regard.
Please assign points if it useful.

Down Payment clearing at the time of Goods Receipt

Dear All,
We have activated the setting "Configure Automatic clearing of Down Payments". We are entering down payment in PO and while processing Goods Receipt system is generating automatic down payment clearing document. The issue is the document posting with GR/IR line items are not updating in the FM report FMRP_RFFMEP1AX. The Goods receipt line item is picking the account assignments like Fund center etc are updated based on PO account assignments because we are referring PO while doing down payment. The invoice also created with GR/IR line item and these line items are also updated in FMRP_RFFMEP1AX report. So the line items against GR/IR are part of consumption of budget. The consumption amount does not contain GR/IR line item while doing goods receipt but invoice GR/IR line is part of consumption of budget. As a result, the GR/IR line item is not nullifying the consumption of budget and is adding to the consumption in addition to the expense line item in goods receipt. So its consuming budget twice.
The issue is GR/IR line item while doing goods receipt is not part of consumption of budget even though the GR/IR line item created in the Goods receipt document. At the same time the GR/IR line item in invoice line item is part of consumption of budget. Please let me know the reason why the GR/IR line item in Goods receipt is not updating in the report.

Sree

A/R Invoice that link with Down Payment document have reversed GST from DP

Hi All,
I am buzzle on why SAP has changed their function for down payment in 8.81 version. For example, if SO amount is $1000 and GST is $70, but company request their customer to pay $500 as deposit (add GST $35). In SAP 8.81 version, the double entries will be as below:
Down Payment Invoice
Dr Customer                        $535
Cr GST                                         $ 35
Cr Down Payment Clearing Acct $500
Incoming Payment
Dr Bank                              $535
Cr Customer                               $535
Invoice (final)
Dr Customer                                 $535
Dr Down Payment Clearing Acct $500
Cr GST                                                 $70
Dr GST                                          $35
Cr Sales                                              $1000
In the final invoice, why there is a reversal of GST amount from Down Payment invoice? In previous version, final invoice will only calculate the GST amount base on balance amount instead of currently credit with full sales amount's gst and reverse previously posted gst amount from down payment invoice.
This will cause problem if down payment invoice and final invoice are few months apart. Company will have paid the down payment invoice's gst amount. Anyone knows the logic for current changes? Appreciate if anyone can help, thanks.

Dear Expert
Let me clarify my client's scenario more to see whether you could give advise.
My client's business is project based and the invoicing flow is as below:
Phase 1 -
Invoicing 30%
Phase 2 -
Invoicing 30%
Phase 3 -
Invoicing 40%
                                               Total 100%
However, invoice for phase 2 maybe issued before invoice for phase 1 is paid and so do invoice for phase 3.
There is also possibility that invoice for phase 1 is paid while invoice for phase 2 is not at the time when whole project is completed. Invoice for phase 3 therefore has to be issued before invoice for phase 2 is paid.
The installments for A/R is not applicable in this case since sales would be realized at the time when the A/R invoice is issued.
My client would have to realize the sales upon completion of project phase. A/R down payment invoice almost satisfy this scenario however, no A/R invoice of the balance with reference to the down payment invoices can be issued before the down payment invoices are settled.
Can anything be done to overcome this limitation?
Regards
Elton

Please kindly help in this to get that DOWN PAYMENT clearing button?

Hi,
I just re activated that module function and process this practise in the similar way SAP has guided in its library which i can tell you in the brief. I suppose that way will work for you.
Posting of Down Payment Clearings and Down Payments in Purchase order
1. Create a purchase order with one or more items. To do this, on the SAP Easy Access screen choose Logistics -> Materials Management -> Purchasing -> Purchase Order -> Create ->Vendor/Supplying Plant Known (ME21N).
a) In the item details, choose the Invoice tab page. In the Down Payment Category field, choose the Mandatory Down Payment or Voluntary Down Payment setting.
Confirm your entry.
b) Enter an amount in the Down Payment Amount field, or a percentage in the Down Payment % field.
c) Enter a due date in the DP Date field.
d) Save your entries.
2. On the SAP Easy Access screen choose Logistics -> Materials Management -> Purchasing -> Purchase Order -> Reporting ->Down-Payment Monitoring for PO.
3. In the Purch.Doc. field, enter the purchase order number of the purchase order you just created, and enter the appropriate due date interval.
Choose Execute.
4. Select the purchase order you created in the list and choose Create Down Payment Request.
The Down Payment Based on Purchase Orders screen appears.
5. In the group box Execution, choose either Down Payment or Down Payment Request and then choose Continue.
Depending, either the Down Payment Request screen or the Down Payment screen appears.
6. Change the proposed amount to be paid in the Down Payment Amount field and choose Continue.
7. on the subsequent screens (similar to F-47 / F-48), enter the required data and post the document.
Posting of Down Payment Clearings in Logistics Invoice Verification
Preparation for this process:
1. Create a purchase order with one or more items. To do this, on the SAP Easy Access screen choose Logistics -> Materials Management -> Purchasing -> Purchase Order -> Create -> Vendor/Supplying Plant Known (ME21N).
2. Use the Financial Accounting transactions (such as F-48) to create down payments for this purchase order.
3. Post a goods receipt with reference to the purchase order you created. To do this, on the SAP Easy Access screen choose Logistics -> Materials Management -> Inventory Management -> Goods Movement -> Goods Movement (MIGO).
Step to follow for Execution
1. Post an invoice with reference to the purchase order you created. To do this, on the SAP Easy Access screen choose Logistics --> Materials Management --> Logistics Invoice Verification --> Document Entry --> Enter Invoice (MIRO).
2. Check the invoice items and correct them if necessary.
3. Choose the Down Payment Clearing pushbutton.
4. In the Amount Entered column, enter all the amounts you want to use to clear the displayed down payments.
Save your entries.
5. Post the invoice.
6. Display the invoice document. To do this, on the SAP Easy Access screen choose Logistics --> Materials Management --> Logistics Invoice Verification --> Further Processing --> Display Invoice Document (MIR4).
i Think the way all the process mention here will help to process your requirement becuase this worked for me and i follow the same way. One think which i like to share with you is i assigned the advance payment at document header level.
Regards
Arun
