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.

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

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.

Partial and residual

this his hari
what is the difference i will get when i posted in partial and residual for ageing.From which i will get
the correct ageing?

Hi,
Example :
Rs 100 :Invoice (Open Item)
Rs 80 :Paid(Open Item)
Rs 20 :Balance
In Partial Clearing you can see Rs 100 and Rs 80 are cleared line items and Rs 20 as balance
(it leaves the original invoice amount and creates new
line item for incoming amount)
In Residual Clearing you can see only Rs 20 as balance as it creates new line item and you canu2019t see the other cleared line items.
(it clears original invoice with incoming amount and create new line item for remaining outstanding amount. )
Use of residual clearing as it affects on aging reports.

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.

To Vendor Dr 5000 INR (Invoice amount)

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.

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.

Chintan Joshi.

AP-Credit Memo-Clear Vendor/Credit Memo

Hi all, I am facing Problem during Vendor Credit memo, Clear it (F-44), and Manual Check using F-58
Can I have different Due date For Vendor Credit memo , as I can see we have different Payment terms in Master data but whenever I post it gives the Due date as Immediate but if I see Open item report it says not Due and shows the Payment terms and the net due dates. Is this Normal?
I would like to clear the credit memo using the F-44 with reference to another open line item but system says Difference is too large for clearing.
The third thing I am trying to issue manual check I gave details, as per "J03_AP_CreditMemo_BPP_EN_US", when I hit Process open Items "system is not allowing to post document getting error "Select a valid function"".
Any Ideas How to deal with the above 3 situations?
Sandhya.

Hi,
To answer few queries,
Data can be entered in the field for the terms of payment key in various ways as you enter a business transaction:
In most business transactions, the system defaults the 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.
Regardless of whether or not a key is defaulted from the master record, you can manually enter a key during document entry at:
item level in sales orders header level in purchase orders and invoices
F-44--clearing problem
If the amount of open item is not equal to clearing amount you enter and the difference is not with in the tolerance limit you specify in the configuration, you will face this error. If the whole amount of open item need not be cleared, then try partial payment/residual payment options.
The third situation I am not clear.
Thanks

Hi,
When the moment you finish choose open item for 1st customer and then you have to press F7 (Charge off diff.) new screen comes then press F6 (Choose Open Items), then enter required data for 2nd customer (such as customer code, doc number, etc). You can post partially, and residually for this clearing posting.
Good luck.
