Payment terms for the customers and vendors

Dear FI Experts
Generally vendoru2019s payment terms purpose we will use document date and customers payment term purpose we will use posting date.
My query is what the logic behind this was, kindly explain this logic.
Regards,
venkataswamy

Hi,
For vendor, we store the invoice date of the vendor in the document date field and vendor generally specifies the payment term in their invoices based on their invoice date.
So we generally use the decoument date (vendor invoice date) for payment term calculation.
Whereas in case of customer, we issue the invoice and generally the invoice date is the posting date of our system, so we use the posting date for calculating the payment term. The customer have to pay according to out payment term to get the discounts etc.
I hope it is clear.
Regards,
Gaurav

  • OBYA Settings for Intercompany Customers and Vendors

    Hi SAP folks,
    I have a small question on TC: OBYA
    We have 2 co codes (CC10 & CC20) . We have customer and vendor account with the same number 900CC10 in Co Code CC20 and  customer and vendor account with the same number 900CC20 in Co Code CC10
    The requirement is such that if vendor invoice is posted in CC10 for vendor 900CC20 , then automatically customer invoice should be posted in CC20 for customer 900CC10 and vice-versa. Same logic applies if customer invoice is posted in CC20 for customer 900CC10 , then automatically vendor invoice should be posted in CC10 for vendor 900CC20.
    How should i configure these accounts in TC: OBYA.
    In OBYA....
    Co Code1
    Posted in CC10
    Cleared Against CC20
    Receivable                   Payable
    Debit P.K.                   Credit P.K.
    Acct debit                       Acct credit
    Co Code2
    Posted in CC20
    Cleared Against CC10
    Receivable                   Payable
    Debit P.K.                   Credit P.K.
    Acct debit                       Acct credit
    I shall appreciate if you can guide me. Do we also have to make settings for trading partner in the master data for customers and vendors.

  • Automatic Clearing for Customers and Vendors

    Hi,
    We want to clear the open items at a time for the customers and vendors.
    Ex: Cutomer "A" contains 15000 Dr(20 Line items), 12000 Cr(15 Line items) and closing balance 3000 Dr
    Now we want to clear the all open items at a time and remaining(3000 Dr) balance for open items.
    We don't want Manual Clearing(F-32)
    Is this possible through F.13 or others? 
    Thanks in advance

    No you cant
    The automatic program groups items from an account together where they have the same
    entries in the following fields:
    • Reconciliation account number
    • Currency
    • Special G/L indicator
    • Five freely defined criteria from document header or line item, for example,
    assignment field, reference number, and so on.
    If the balance, in local currency, of the items within a group is zero, the system
    automatically clears them and creates clearing documents.
    All accounts requiring automatic clearing must be defined in Customizing.
    The automatic clearing program does not clear:
    • Noted items
    • Statistical postings and certain special G/L transactions relating to bills of
    exchange
    • Down payments can only be cleared if down payment clearing items of the
    same amount have already been posted.
    • items with withholding tax entries

  • Alignment with customers and vendors for December 31 2010

    Hi, I'm a bit new with SAP for this subject and now I have to make an account statement for the customers and vendors per December 31 2010. How can I make these statements so the customers and vendors can agree with the alignment? Please let me know step by step...
    Thanks for the answer! Emiel

    Dear Srinivas,
    how can I make the selection for all customers and vendors because I have a whole list with outstanding invoices. In your solution I have to make a selection in accounts. And that's not what I want. Can I get a seperate statement by customer and vendor so I can mail this to them? But thanks for your previous answer and reply! Emiel

  • How can we maintain multiple payment terms for a customer

    how can we maintain multiple payment terms for a customer?

    Hi,
    You can leave the Payment terms field in the sales area data tab blank. and you can enter the payment terms at line item level while creating the sales order. By that you will achieve multiple payment terms for the same customer in the same sales order. but the invoice will be split by standard SAP based on the payment terms.
    Also difference between the "Payment Terms" field in Company code tab and the sales Area tab is.
    Company code tab payment terms are used only for the documents that are posted directly in FI module. for example credit and debit memos posted directly in FI and as a leading practice this should always be "payable Immidiately"
    Sales area Tab payment terms are the one which are copied on to the sales order header data which are valid for all the line items unless you specifically mention different payment terms at line item level.

  • Payment Terms(Different at header and Item)

    Hi,
    While creating an order with two line items having different materials, A different payment term is picking for one material at item level which is different from header.
    Where as for other material same payment term is coming at both header and item level.
    Could please let me know where do we maintain entry to pick a payment term which comes at item level.

    Mohan Hi,
    Please also not that SAP Standard set the same payment term at the header and the item level. As mentioned, the payment term default value at the sales order comes from the customer master data.
    Best regards.

  • Payment terms for Invoice plan

    Hello All,
    I've a Partial Invoicing plan for my equipment purchase. The first milestone payment is along with Purchase order. Means need to pay immediatly.
    My PO is having payment terms - Payment 90days after end invoice month. This payment term is ok for all milestone payments. But for the first one, I need to pay immediatly.
    Is it possible to have different payment terms / bye pass payment terms for the first milestone?
    I don't want to use downpayment option for this.
    RaviChandran

    Hello.. Thanks for your feedback.
    But in IV, normally due date is calculated from baseline date. Base line date will be defined by IV creation/posting date (Based on IMG setting). So by making the START Date for invoice Plan as Past Date will not work.

  • Payment Terms - Only specify sales text for payment terms for customers !

    What is wrong with the format in the attached screen shot ?
    Do I have to Choose Customer & Vendor ?

    Hi Emad,
    This error “Only specify sales text for payment terms for customers" appears because this payment term is not applicable for customer. There are two choices either to delete the description text and make the payment term applicable only to vendor,However if you want to keep the description text, then make payment term applicable to customer as well by tick mark.

  • WBS elements for Customers and Vendor, Bank  entries....

    Hi SAP Guru's,
    For revenues and Costs we can trace them  thru WBS elements entry in FI at the time of actaul amount sepent.
    But for making the Advance payments to Customers and vendors or for any other Capital purpose, How to track the payments projects wise?
    in f-29 for f-48, there is no option of giving the WBS elements. Pls help How to  the WBS elemts filed  Mandotory in FI Documents for all the entries posted in FI for vendor, customer, Banks accounts also?

    Hi,
    This is possible if you configure posting down payment in CO. You do it via OKEP transaction. The, after checking that you have configured number ranges (KANK), you can reconstruct your down payments in WBS via OKBG. You can see this customization steps under: Project Systems - Costs - Actual Costs - Update Down Payments.

  • Payment terms for different products from a single vendor

    Hi Pundits,
    Our client has a requirement to assign different payment terms for different products. Each product he buys from his vendor has it's own payment terms. He wants us to customize in such a way that when he/user enters the invoice, not only the vendor number is shown along with the product name but also the payment terms for that particular product are calculated.
    I know that only one payment term can be assigned in the vendor master data. Is there anyway to get around this?
    Creating the same vendor multiple times and assign payment terms looks a possible option but that looks quite hectic cause he has close to 1000 payment terms.

    Taurian, thank you for that suggestion!
    I can maintain as many existing payment terms as the client has with his vendors and let him choose the payment terms at the time of invoice entry.
    The only problem is that he might have to change it according to the current market rates for that product. So maintaining any payment term is of little use.

  • How can we block, a particular payment term for a particular vendor.

    Dear Experts,
    How can we block, a particular payment term for a particular vendor.
    BR.
    Chandra

    Hi Chandra,
    If you want to block payment term for "particular vendor" then you need to define a validation rule.
    As per my understanding, the link provided by Owen will block term for all vendors.

  • Integration of customers and vendors- customer exit for renaming

    We are planning to use customers for capacity reservation functionality and vendors for subcontracting in APO.
    Due to this, we will need Vendors and Customers in APO.
    Currently some plants are using same number range for customers and vendors.
    So, we will have to rename either customer number or vendor number.
    In such situation, do you recommend renaming customer number or Vendor number?
    Do you see impact of renaming customer or vendor in above processes?
    Can you please e-mail me which customer exit  I should use and steps that should be followed for renaming?
    Thanks,
    Srini

    Your problem:
    Different location types with the same name or number in the external system. For example, a customer and a supplier both have the number 1000. This problem occurs especially with vendor and customer numbers.
    You can do the following:
    described in SAP Note 458914.
    Activate BAdI Implementation for Location Prefix
    Procedure
    1.     Access the activity using one of the following navigation options:
    SAP SCM Menu     Tools  Customizing  IMG  Execute Project  SAP Reference IMG  SAP Implementation Guide  SCM Basis  Integration  BAdIs for Specific Applications  Location and Business Partner  BAdI: Inbound Processing for Location
    Transaction Code     SPRO
    2.     In the Business Add-Ins: All Implementations for Definition SMOD_APOCF001 dialog box, go to the Defined filters table and select the suitable implementation for your problem situation, for example:
    Field Name     Entry Value
    Bus. add-in implementation name     APOCF001_TYPEDIF
    Implementation short text     Locations of different type with similar names
    3.     Choose Change.
    4.     Confirm the warning message.
    5.     On the Business Add-In Builder: Change Implementation APOCF001_TYPEDIF screen, choose Activate business add-in implementation.
    6.     In the Prompt for transportable Workbench request dialog box, enter a workbench request and press ENTER.
    7.     Choose the Back pushbutton (F3) twice.
