Payment difference configuration

Dear all,
I want to configure for payment difference of vendor. Steps to configure:
- OBA3: Customer / vendor tolerance: I set 500 for gain / Loss
- OBA4: Tolerances for Users: I also set 500 for revenue / expense
- OBXL: account determination for payment difference
But when I post outgoing payment with difference 20, system always raise message: "The difference is too large for clearing". I dont know if I miss any steps ?
Thank you very much for your help,
Sylvecat.

Dear Sylvecat,
System will check the Gain/Loss and percentage in "area of permitted payment differences".
example:
you post document with below:
expense 1000 USD/ Vendoer 1000 USD.
and you defined:              Amount     Percent
                         Gain              10      0,1 %
                         Loss              10      0,1 %
then system will campare the two values as below:
                                      Amount     Percent   allowed difference according to percentage
                         Gain              10        5 %
                         Loss              10        5%       1000 * 5% =5 USD
Due to 5 < 10, so system only allow difference 5 USD to be posted automatically when clearing.
so please check your system data accordingly.

Payment Difference Configuration - Accounts Receivable

Hi SAP Gurus,
I have the following configuration set for payment differences.
-OBA3: Customer / vendor tolerance: Amount: 5.00, Percent: 99.9%, Adjust discount by 1.00
- OBA4: Tolerances for Users: Amount: 10.00, Percent: 10%, Cash Discnt Adj.to 10.00
- OBXL: Reason Code 01, GL account 600010
With these settings, in F-28 (post incoming payment transaction), I was able to clear a $100,000 customer invoice with a posting of just $50, with the residual item created using reason code 01.
The posting I get is
Cash -                                 Dr 50
Expense Account 600010 (maintained in OBXL)                               DR 99,950
Customer u2013                               Cr 100,000
Looks like the tolerance group setting is not working. It should not allow me to post a payment difference more than $5, as per the above setting. Can anyone let me know what is wrong with the settings? Should I look at anything else?
Thanks,
Ram

Payment term configuration

Hi All,
We need a payment term configuration in FI as follows.
Invoice date plus No.of grace days plus end of month (that means we have make payment on the last day of month where the last grace day falls in that particular month)
Thank in advance
Jagan

Hi
You can have base line date calculation as 30 days from invoice date and then payment due on the month end in the month base line date is calculated.
Create a new payment term, enter the base line calculation as additonal months 1. Default date for base line date as document date or posting date as per your choice. In payment terms fill discount terms by entering fixed dates in 1st and 2nd fields , in third field enter the fixed date as 31. Then base line date will be calculated as 1 month after invoice date and payment will be due by that month end. You cannot have 45 days because additional months cannot accept it as 1.5 months.
Thanks

Payment Difference by reason code charge to separate GL Account

Dear All
We have set reason code for payment difference with indicator charge to separate account. Also we assign separate account for each reason code in OBXL. When we try to post incoming payment with difference and assign the reason code system ask to do the account determination for Transaction ZDI. We already have settings for ZDI with reason code. When we enter one more entry for transactions ZDI without reason code system charge it to the account but in this way we cannot achieve our objective to post the difference to different account according to reason code.
Please advise
Thanks and Best Regards

What do you mean by "hierarchy"? I'm not aware of any hierarchies within Transaction Management.
You need to set up an account assignment reference for the different portfolios (IMG activity "Define Account Assignment References").
Then you need to set up the determination logic for assigning the account assignment reference to the transactions based on portfolio (IMG activity "Define Account Assignment Reference Determination (OTC Transactions)" or "Define Account Asst Reference Determination (Securities/Listed Derivatives)", depending on product type.)
Finally, you need to set up the account determination to assign the GL accounts to the different account symbols for each account assignment reference (IMG activity "Define Account Determination").

Create a payment term with entry date as default for base line date and in fixed days calculation enter 31 in fixed date. Then base line date calculation will be end of every month.

Change discount base in F-53 for payment difference

Dear All,
Our user have created a vendor invoice of Rs110000., with W/H tax of Rs11000. Now, during F-53, the customer is only paying Rs49000. Now, the system should be picking up the payment difference value of Rs50000 (99000-49000) in the disccount base automatically. But in our case the proportionate value of W/H tax on payment difference is loaded on the payment difference and populated on the disc base field, that is -Rs50000+Rs5555.56(Rs11000/99000=0.1111*50000=5555.56)=Rs55555.56.
Can you plaese suggest me is there any way out to change the disc base value to the payment diff value , as the system is automatically picking it, and is coming in display mode.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. I have checked OBY6 setting and Disc base is net value only. Please let me know if there is any other solution.

Payment difference

Dear Guru's
I need a help from you.
I am trying to do the payment differnce, but it is now happening automatically when I am doing F-53. It is asking me to give the GL Account mannually rather that taking the payment difference to a seperate GL Account which I have assigne. The scenario is as follow.
We have liability to a vendor for 1002 but the payment what we intend to make is only 1000 the balance we wanted automatically go to the payment different GL which already assined.
In this regards I would like to know :-
a. How the entry need to be passed in F-53.
b. Is there any other setting which I need to do apart from assigning GL account for payment differnce in SPRO.
Please help me sort out this.
Thanks in advance
Deepak

Hello Deepak AR,
For automatic posting, when posting documents, the system automatically adds line items to manually entered items as needed. For example, the tax amount, the cash discount amount, and profits or losses from foreign currency translations (exchange rate differences) can all be calculated and posted automatically by the system. You can decide that accounts to which these automatic postings are made can only be posted to automatically. This will prevent any manual postings to such an account. A definition like this would be useful for tax accounts, if, for example, you had no subsequent tax debit to post.
For each automatic posting, you must define the G/L account to which the system is to post and the rules according to which the system generates the posting. For example, you can differentiate the tax posting according to tax codes. The system will then post to a different G/L account for each tax code.
You can manually add to automatic postings. If you want to do this, you must select the Supplement auto. postings field in the master record of the account to which the system posts automatically. The field status group in the G/L account master record determines the fields that the system offers for supplementary account assignment.
From your explanation, it seems you have not defined the rule for posting. Please go and check in SPRO Financial Accountin-> Account Receivable and Payable->Business Trasaction->Outgoing Payment->Automatic posting.
Hope I had been able to help you. Please assign points..

Permitted Payment differences - lockbox

Hi !
I have an very urgent situation...even though the incoming payment from the lockbox file is having a payment difference that is within the tolerance limit, ththe actual invoice is getting cleared and this payment difference amount is not posting to a GL account , instead its posting back on the customer account.
Ex: I have an incoming payment of 99.95$ for an invoice of 100$ and is within the tolerance limit( 1$) , then the difference 0.05$ should go to an GL account we specify in OBXL, but its getting posted as an open item on customer account
Please some one help me resolving this issue. I jsut have one day for golive.. please someone help me..
Thanks.

Hi Sairam ,
Actually I am facing eactly the same problem as you have described.
Did you find any solution for that
We are also close to GO-Live , your response is appreciated.

Lock box- payment differences

Dear gurus
We have a request to change the lockbox setup to handle auto write off any short/overpayments per customer invoice of +/- 50$.
So when there is a difference of +/-50$ on the payment file (in the lock box process- statement from bank) SAP should write off the difference to a GL acct automatically.
Please advise where in config, I can make settings and give the acct number, so that differences will written off automatically and how can I test my settings?
Many thanks in advance
MSJ

Hi Vinod
Thank you for your reply. I followed your instructions.
But I see that in OBXL there is already a GL acct 499999specified with no reason code.
And this Gl acct is hit if there is any unapplied/on acct payments from lock box.
What we need is , if there is any difference of =/- 50$ it should go to 488888 GLacct.
I tried putting 488888 in OBXL with a reason code(created a new reason code) and tried processing a lockbox file, but after running, I see that the payment difference of +/- 50$ is not being hit to 4888888 acct.
Please advise as what other changes we need in config.
many thanks

You can ask your ABAPer to customize a message.
Assign them accordingly in OBA5 to achieve this.

Permitting Payment Differences ???(in tolerances for employees)

Hello,
Good morning
While defining parameters in Permitting payment differences in Tolerance specification for employees, what is the meaning of Cash discount adjusted to. Is this block (payment diff) related to line items of customer and vendor transactions or for GL accounts?? I need a complete clarity on this concept.
Thanking you,
Suresh

Hi Suresh
At the time of clearing the payments received from the customers, the system checks the payment differences and corrects with the cash discount posting as long as the cash discount amount is large enough for the adjustment. The value you specify here is used for differences that represent a gain/loss.
Please refer teh SAP Help site which provides useful information

How Down Payments Are Configured

Can some have some idea on How Down Payments are Configured?????

The following Customizing settings have to be made for down payment processing:
Settings for the billing plan - To activate the billing plan function, maintain the
materials, for which you wish to process down payments, with item category group 0005 (milestone billing). This gives the item type TAO via item type determination. The item type TAO calls up the billing plan function.
You need to implement the following activities in the billing plan for down payments:
Maintain deadline category - This determines the billing rule (percentage or value down payment) for the down payment request. The system assigns billing type FAZ (payment request) defined in the standard system with billing category P. (For the billing type FAZ there is the cancellation billing document type FAS in the standard system).
Maintain the deadline proposal - Use the down payments that are due for the proposed deadlines.
Maintaining a Pricing Procedure with the Condition Type AZWR:
In the standard system the condition type AZWR is delivered for the down payment value already provided but which has not yet been calculated. You must include this condition type in the relevant pricing procedure before output tax.
Enter condition 2 (item with pricing) and the calculation formula 48 (down payment clearing value must not be bigger than the item value) for the condition type AZWR.
Before the condition AZWR you can create a subtotal with the base value calculation formula
2 (net value). If the condition AZWR is changed manually, you can get information on the original system proposal from the subtotal.
Maintain the printing indicator - The pricing procedure can not be marked as a
transaction-specific pricing procedure (field Spec.proc.) The condition type AZWR has the calculation type B (fixed amount) and the condition category E (down payment request / clearing).
Maintaining the Billing Document - In the standard system there is the billing type FAZ (down payment request) and the billing type FAS for canceling . The down payment is controlled using the billing category P of the billing type. A billing type becomes a down payment request when the billing category P is assigned. You have to maintain blocking reason 02 (complete confirmation missing) for the billing documents and assign it to billing type FAZ.
Copying control - Copying requirement 20 must be entered in copying control at item level for the down payment request. In the standard system the order type TA for copying control is set up according to the billing type FAZ for the item category TAO.
Copying requirement 23 must be entered in copying control at item level for down payment clearing. In the standard system the order type TA for copying control is set up according to the billing type F2 for the item category TAO.
Financial Accounting settings - A prerequisite for down payment processing is that the account is assigned to the underlying sales document. To do this, change the field status settings in Customizing as follows:
Set reconciliation accounts (transaction OBXR) - For the `received down payments' and `down payment requests' from the G/L accounts you have selected, you should assign the field status definition G031.
Maintain accounting configuration (transaction OBXB) - For the down payments (posting key ANZ in the standard system) and the output tax clearing (posting key MVA in the standard system), you must maintain the posting key.
You must also carry out a G/L account number assignment for the tax account.
Maintain the posting key (transaction OB41) - For posting key 19, set the sales order as an optional field !!!
Maintain the field status definition (transaction OB14) - For field status variant 0001, field status group G031, set the sales order as an optional field !!!
Assign the company code to the field status variants (transaction OBC5)
Hope this helps you.
Do award points if you found them useful.

Payment Terms configuration

Dear Friends,
I have 2 queries -
1. Can we configured the Payment Terms which will enable while invoicing to create the multiple line item while Invoice Posting ( accounting entry ) say, while doing MIRO / FB60 transaction. And one of those would go to Special GL. e.g. we have to deduct the Retention Money @ 5% from Invoice Amount and we are using one of Special GL for Retention money so can i configure the Payment Term as -
1. 95% -
60 Days
2. 5% -
365 Days
So here 2 ( 5% ) will be posted as Special GL item while Invoice Entry.
( Currently we are transferring those entries to special gl manually using T code - F-02 from Vendor Open items )
2. We have configured the number of Payment Terms but sometimes negotiated Terms does fall into the category of existing Payment Terms and it is not possible to create the Payment Terms for such requirement. So can we configure one Payment Term which will be editable while Purchase ORder Creation or Invoicing ( like payment term with "OTHERS" would be created and initially it would be configured for 0 Days and those would be edited while making Purchase Order as per requirement.
Since this is affecting our Ageing Analysis and Payment Due Report as both are based on Payment Terms in PO.
If anyone has solution pls suggest the way to do it . will assign full marks if gets solution.
Thanks in advance.
PS

Hi
I think we can't maintain cash discounts more than two %.
Goto OBB8, choose account type customer/vendor.
goto payment terms segment. 1) 3% days 0 2) 2% days 15.
3) we can enter %, only days. it means no cash discount.

Chandra

Payment terms configuration issue

Hi All,
I have a requirement of configuring the following AR payment terms in the system
1) 50% payment due in advance 50% due 45 days from Invoice Date
2) Payment in advance
In OME2 how to configure the above terms for no. 1 , should i use the installlment option in while config...
Please provide me detail steps for config and also let me know how to take care Advance payment part.. We dont have customer down payment option in the project scope..
Regards,
Sandip

Sandip,
I understand you have to configure two payment terms.
1. 50% advance and 50% at 45 days from invoice date - this can be handled through instalment option and the percentage can also be fed there. but 50% advance can be handled only through downpayment option. A workaround is to set 'pay immediately '0 days' at the payment term instalment level and then knock it off with the downpayment document, later.
2. Advance payment - can be handled only through Down payment option in SAP.
Thanks
