Partial or Residual Payment

Hello folks,
I would appreciate some assistance on the following question. POINTS AVAILABLE.
<b>What is the difference between the Partial Payment and Residual Payment tabs in F-28 or F-52?</b> When do I use one versus the other?
Let's say for example that a customer owe's my client $50. This customer decides to pay a partial amount of $20. How do I enter this in F-28? Do I go to the Residual pmt tab and enter $20? Will the system recalculate what the customer owe's the client (which will now be $30)?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
In case of partial Payment, payment made will create another open item. It will not be settled with an existing open item. Document against which the payment is partially made will remain open and and the amount partially paid will also remaim open. E.G.
Vendor X1 - open Item of 2000/-
Amount partially paid: 1000/-
Both the documents that is of 2000/- and 1000/- will remain as open item in vendor's account.
However, in case of residual payment, open item against which amount is paid partially, will be cleared and an open item will be created with balance amount and will have reference to the original document that can ve viewed in document flow.
E.g.
Vendor X1 - open Item of 2000/-
Amount partially paid: 1000/ with residual payment option
document with 2000/- open item will be cleared with document of 1000/- (payment document) and will create another document with 1000/- which will be remain open with reference to original document that is of 2000/-.
Hope this helps.
Please assign points as a way to say thanks.
Regards,

Partial and residual payments (Incoming) through F-28

Hi
I am trying to understand how partial and residual payments works.
1) I have an invoice of $100 for customer. I am getting a payment of $30 from customer.
When i am clearing this using partial payments tab in F-28, it is creating a new document of $30 open item for the customer and leaving $100 open item again (not clearing) for the same customer.
My question is it becomes $130 open for the same customers though he paid $30, why is that?
2) How does residual payments works for the same example above?
Can anyone explain clearly please?
Thanks in advance
Aleem

Hi Aleem,
Partial payment : A partial payment is a payment that is posted to an account without any open items being cleared. You assign this partial payment to an open item. When you post the partial payment, the system marks the document number of the original open item in the line item for the partial payment. The original open item and the partial payment remain open.
E.g. Invoice = $100
Partial payment =$ -(30)
Residual : . You clear the original open item, and the system posts a new open item. This new open item is for the same amount as the original open item minus the amount paid.
E.g : New invoice = $ 70

Residual payment should not allow more than Vendor Invoice

Hi,
Eg: Vendor has booked invoice 5000 INR, when user make payment through F-53 or F-58 through "Residual" payment user can pay more than invoice 5002 INR and below accounting entry is posting.
Bank Cr 5002 INR
To Vendor Dr 5000 INR (Invoice amount)
To Vendor Dr 02 INR Excess than invoice
Business requirement is system should not allow pay more than invoice amount. How to control suggestion would be appreciated.
I have done below settings for your understanding here system configuration.
1. OBA3: Under "Permitted Payment difference" zero for Gain , Loss , Amount, Percent & Adjust Discount By However "Permitted Payment Differences for Automatic write-Off(Function code AD)" zero.
2. OBA4: Cash discount per line item: Zero and Under "Permitted Payment difference" Revenues, Expense, Percent & Cash discount put Zero.

Hi Prashant,
I have restricted many fields to use through screen variant now user can not pay more than Invoice amount except through Residual payment process.
Client side management strongly says that they want to use Partial and Residual payment process options but user should not allow pay more than invoice amount.
If any solution please guide me.

Partial or Residual - Business Reasons

When a Customer is making a payment for an invoice who will decide whether it has to be a Partial or Residual payment approach? Whether the decision is made by the customer or by the Business?
Also, when the customer makes a payment the favorable approach for customer is to go for the Residual approach, as the Principal invoice amount has been knocked off in this approach that will guide for a low interest rate, otherwise if it's going to be a partial payment until the document is cleared off the Interest rate will be climbing - Please explain the business reasons behind selecting a partial or residual approach?

It should be decided by the business - Finance. In our experience, most of the Finance prefer to do Partial payment approach because aside from technically, the invoice is not yet fully paid and residual payment will clear the original invoice and create a new open item for the remaining balance which affects the Aging report.
In their analysis they still want to see how much is the original invoice amount.
As to interest, since the due date of the partial payment and the original invoice is the same, still the computation if you add is based on the remaining balance of the customer.

Customer Clearing Process - Partial and Residual

Hi Gurus,
Appreciate if you can please help me in understanding customer clearing process in case of partial and residual payment. And how will it have impact on AR Aging.
If we post customer invoice for $1000 and there is a payment of $600. Now if we use residual payment option, system should show $400 line with aging according to original invoice. But i cant see that if i go to FBL5N.
Please tell me how it works,
Thanks

Hi,
During the partial payment the new document gets created.
You can do one thing go to table BSAD and in the invoice reference (REBZG) field enter the original document number and execute.
You will get the residual document number (AUGBL). Check whether you are getting this document number in agewise report.
Hope your issue has been resolved else revert.

Partila Payment and Residual Payment,

Hi,
From my understanding is this applicable for both inocming and outgoing payments, How will we determine whether this is partial for residual payments.
Please help me in understanding the concept.
Thanks

Hi Soumya,
These two are conept and it depends on your company how they want to process claring.
1. Partial Payment.
Partial payment does not clear the document but it keeps both the payment invoice open till the entire payment for invoice is made. For e.g. there is document 1000 in customer ABCD which shows debit (invoice) of Rs. 50,000 and then you recieve a payment of Rs 35,000 against that invoice. Now, when you make partial payment for this document. You will see both payment and invoice document open in FBL5N.
2. Residual Payment
Residual Payment clear the original document and create a document for remaining amount. For e.g. there is document 1000 in customer ABCD which shows debit (invoice) of Rs. 50,000 and then you recieve a payment of Rs 35,000 against that invoice. Now, when you clear this document through residual clearing for this document. You will see only new document for Rs. 15,000 (50,000-35,000). So it clears both original invoice and payment document.
Try this out in your system and decide which concept you want to adopt.

Partial Vs Residual

Whether there are any guidelines to decide which approach to follow when we do a Payment - Partial /Residual. What are all the Pros and Cons of the above approaches

Hi
Suppose that an Invoice is Open Item1.
when you are making partial payment, system creates another open item2, invoice & Partial payment items will be under open items only.
when you are making Residual payments, systems koncks off that payment against the residula payment and the balance of the invoice which is to be paid only will be under open items. invoice and residual payment items will be under cleared items.
this is the difference between partial and residual payments.

Residual Payment vs. Partial Payment: Design considerations

We need to decide between implementing residual payment vs. partial payment. We will be implementing payment processing.
I would like to understand why one would choose one method over another?
What is the benefit of clearing original invoice and creating a new line item for the balance (as in case of residual payments)? There is a setting that allows user to capture the original invoice date at the time of payment processing while using residual payment, which I believe makes the residual payments same as partial payments, so again, why would one choose one method over another?
I would like to understand the benefits & limitations of each method.
How does the decision to implement a method get impacted if reason codes are to be implemented, which method would offer a better solution considering reason codes requirement?
Appreciate your inputs.

Hi,
In manual processing of incoming payments, it is of course the user who can make the decision to either make residual item, or a partial payment.
In automatic processing of incoming payments:
For electronic bank statements, payments that the system cannot match with open items will end up in post-processing; there the user can again choose either residual item or partial payment.
For electronic payment advices, I know that there is configuration to match customer information for payment deductions in the payment advice, with you own reason codes, and that based on the information the system can create the residual items automatically. Of course, this is only relevant if your customers actually send you electronic payment advices with such information included.
Regarding reason codes, you will always use reason codes with residual items; to indicate the reason for deduction for follow up in your A/R dept, and possibly to make use of the automatic write off (you can configure reason codes to automatically write off the payment deduction to some G/L account of your choosing; you would use that e.g. if the payment deduction is too small to bother).
For partial payment, you could use reason codes I guess, if you want to in that way mark the item for some reporting or follow up purpose.

Customer statement with partial/residual payment

Hi,
I need to write the fuctional specs for customer statement. As per the requirement, customer wants all the payments received on a particular line item displayed in front of the the invoice amount. How which is the field I can use to total up the payments received for a particular open item.
thanks

Hi
In the case of residual payments, you will be getting new document number. So, you have to use the same.
SAP always takes care of these partial payments with the help of document number. It gets stored in the filed called invoice reference.
Help from SAP:Number of the Invoice the Transaction Belongs to
For line items which are related to another line item, this field contains the number of the partner document.
Use
In the standard system the field is used for:
Credit memos which refer to a particular invoice item
Subsequent invoices for an invoice item
Partial payments for an invoice item
Partial clearings of down payments.
In the first two cases mentioned, the terms of payment are copied from the cross-referenced invoice item into the item currently being processed. This ensures that items due on the same date are paid together by automatic payment.
A special rule applies to credit memos which have a "V" in this field. The due date is determined in the same way as for an invoice. If the field is empty (containing neither a document number nor a "V") the due date is the baseline date for payment.

Differance between Residual Payment & Partial Payment

hi can you tell me the Differance between Residual Payment & Partial Payment.
Regrds
SG

Residual: A residual item results when a payment is made for less than the actual amount outstanding. You clear the original open item, and the system posts a new open item. This new open item is for the same amount as the original open item minus the amount paid.
Partial: partial payment is a payment that is posted to an account without any open items being cleared. You assign this partial payment to an open item. When you post the partial payment, the system marks the document number of the original open item in the line item for the partial payment. The original open item and the partial payment remain open.

Difference between Partial payment and residual payment

Hi,
What is difference between partial payment and residual payment and what is the effect of this payment on Payment Terms and Customer aging analysis report?
Can any body help me out.
Thanks & Regards
Amar Adam

Hi ,
We can take the example given by BSR
For ex. an amount of Rs.100000 outstanding invoice (let say 2000 is the invoice number) in customer account which has payment terms as ZPTERM.
you have recd Rs.25000/- while selecting the open items if you select partial payment the entry will be
Bank a/c dr. 25000
customer a/c cr. 25000
Let us say the document posted is 1000 , which is a partial payment document.
Now this document ages from the posting date, and the payment terms of the invoice are not inherited i.e. you cannot see the ZPTERM in the payment terms field for partial payment document.
Both the Invoice(2000) and Partial Payment(1000) documents remain as open items.
If you make a residual payment, you can see the payment terms ZPTERM in the residual document i.e. payment terms are inherited from the invoice.
And the baseline date is same as invoice date. so ageing of residual document is same as that of invoice.
In this case the invoice document 2000 is cleared and a new open item is created. you can check after posting the residual document, the baseline date and payment terms will be same as that of Invoice.
Hope this explanation will clear your doubts..

Praisty

Limiting or control for Residual payment with reason codes

Hi FI Gurus,
When we are received or making payment to customer or vendor, sometimes we need to clear the invoice by receiving or making payments with small differences through residual payment. Is there any control for limiting residual payment.
Lets have an example
invoice posted for 1000
customer dr 1000
sales       cr 1000
Partial payment recd 500
cash/bank dr 500
customer cr   500
final payment received 350 and balanace amount adjusted with residual payment by defining reason code like rounding off difference. So in this case accounting entry will be
customer cr 350
rounding off diff 150
cash/bank 500
being final payment agaisnt invoice
My question:   Is there any way to restrict the residual payment like 10% or 20% of total invoice i.e. 100 or 200 and not more than 20% ? other wise sometime user may adjust any amount may be 100000 through this way by putting the same reason code, which is not fair.
I checked SPRO setting but i did not get anyt setting relating to above case.
If any body know, please let me know? Thanks in advance
Regards,
Prakash

Hi Lawerance,
Thanks for reply.
But I am looking for amount adjusted through residual with reason code. I dont think there is any limitation or control in the SPRO standard setting. Tolerance is preventing user to post document for more than a specific amount. But my question is something different.
I want to control the user for adjusting amount from residual tab with selecting reason code. In other words user should not adjust more than some limit with residual payment by selecting reason codes. Thanks.
Regards,
Prakash

Invoice reference for residual payment

HI experts
I observed if I receive the payment from customer Rs 10000 for the invoice Rs15000 through residual payment then system creates new line item for Rs 5000 and this will be shown as open item and all others will be clered items.
Here my issue is for new line item system is not storing the original invoice details in invoice reference field. How to maintain source invoice details to residual new line item.
Pls advice me
Thanks in advance
Sneha

Hi,
Anil is correct. All the details you entered in your incoming payment document when you posting your residual payment, will be displayed in the new line item created after that. My practice last time is that I will maintain the original invoice number at Reference field as suggested by Anil and entered my PO or SO number at Document header text.
If you don't wish to lose all the original details, you can use partial payment tab instead of residual. Partial payment will post the incoming payment without clearing any item. Then you can clear it off all together when you are posting for the last incoming payment for that particular invoice.
Hope this help.
