Posting of a partial payment in A/R

Hi All,
When a partial payment is posted against an open invoice, that SAP closes the original document and creates a new SAP document for the remaining balance.
Example
Invoice # 6112345678 SAP Doc Number 1812345678 amount $100
Post a partial payment of $10
Doc Number 1812345678 is marked closed (complete?)
and
A new SAP Doc Number 1845678123 is created with an amount of $90
Question 1: Is this correct?
Question 2: Is this a configurable option that may have been configured incorrectly and we can configure the way we want to setup?
Thanks for the great help,
Sobhan.

As far as I know, It remain open until your payment is become equal to invoice payment . Theres a transaction in which when you run it show you the open invoices and parked invoices against customer etc ...
I think its correct...
FYI
You can see the table BSID and BSAD for open and clear doc

Accounts Payable - Tracking of Advances & Partial payment against Invoice

I want to co-relate the advance payment and various partial payments made to one vendor with the specific Invoice. Can you please suggest the wayout?
Suppose I have made down payment to Mr. A. Then I have booked the invoice against which various part payments have been made. Now I want to know the pending due amount against the particular invoice. How can I track the same?

Hi Kapil,
My suggestion would be -
Use the reference field to update the Invoice number in all the documents - Down payment, Invoice posting and the partial payments.
The reference field is editable even after the document is posted. So, you can update the down payment document also once you recieve the invoice.
Now, from FBL1N, you can sort/filter by the reference field and find out the balance to be paid for a particular invoice.
Regards,
Mike

PCA-Partial payment from customer profit center split

Dear all,
Problems encountered.
1) Partial payment from customer whereby the profit center not split accordance to the reference invoice.
Eg. Received incoming invoice.
Dr. Customer            RM1000
Cr. Revenue (PC:1000)         RM300
Cr. Revenue (PC:2000)         RM700
After running Tcode: F.5D (Display the doc. goto Environment--->Balance Sheet Adjustmt)
Dr. Customer   (PC:1000)         RM300
Dr. Customer   (PC:2000)         RM700
Cr. Revenue     (PC:1000)                 RM300
Cr. Revenue     (PC:2000)                 RM700
Received incoming partial payment RM100 with reference to the above document, the result as follows after running Tcode F.5D
(Display the doc. goto Environment--->Balance Sheet Adjustmt)
Dr. Bank     (PC:Dummy)       RM100
Cr. Customer   (PC:Dummy)   RM100 (As per SAP Help EC-PCA Example: Direct Revenue Posting in FI, Partial payments are distributed according to the original receivable i.e. RM30 to PC1000 & RM70 to PC2000)
Additional configuration made:
Bank Account is in 3KEH table with default PC:1460
2) Run Tcode F.5D for the second time in the same month, the result of the payment as follows:
(Display the doc. goto Environment--->Balance Sheet Adjustmt)
Dr. Bank     (PC:1460)       RM100
Cr. Customer   (PC:1460)   RM100
Questions:
1) Why partial payments are not distributed according to the original receivables?
2) Why the Profit center change to the default PC1460 for the second run? Why such inconsistency happened?
Anyone can answer the above quesstions?
Thanks & regards,
-Alice-

Hi Alice,
Check if you are actually using the tab 'Partial payment' while posting payment to the customer. If you are doing so and activating some invoice, then your customer payment credit line should have 'ivoice reference' field activated. Pl. check this. If this is activated, SAP will get the profit center from original invoice at the time of F.5D. But if you are just posting payment to customer account unapplied (without selecting any particular invoice), SAP can not get profit center from invoice and it will get profit center from the Bank account which is happening in your case.
Hope this helps. We also have similar situation in case of unapplied payments which go to Dummy profit center. I am considering following options:
1) To enter correct profit center in bank account where ever possible
or
2) To post a correction entry in PCA at month end to transfer receivables from dummy to other profit centers on some basis and reverse this entry next month.
How are you handling this dummy profit center situation?
Thanks,
Pinky

Partial Payment posting in AR and clearing of invoice on fifo basis

Dear Gurus,
It is related to partial incoming payment in AR and clearing of invoices on FIFO basis, let me clarify my requiremnt through an Example
Assume there an ivoice of PKR 100,000 in customer Account XYZ
Company received partial PAyment of PKR 50,000 on specific date
Data entry clerk enters payment in F-28 in partial payment tab and assign it to invoice (please note that at present payment is not being assigned and both item invoice and payment remains open without any assignment with each other)
assume next payment which data entry clerk tries to enter with this refernce is PKR 60,000 while reamining amount with this invoice refernce is PKR 50,000 ,system should not allow to enter excess amount with partial paid invoice i.e. user has to be restricted to enter PKR 50,000 against this invoice
As data entry clerk enter partial payment and there is any other open invoice, system should not allow to enter payment till clearance of first open invoice
means specific requirement is
in case of partial payment with refernce to invoice, at the time of data entry system should chekc that no any other invoice is open in AR ledger
as partial payment document is entered system assign this document to Invoice
if data entry clerk tries to enter acess amount with refernce to invoice, system should not allow means Invoice amount = Payment amount
please advice procedure to meet this requirement

Hi,
For posting partial Invoice, At the time you received 50000, post it through F-28 only as a partial knockoff against a particular Invoice and at the time you enter second part of the Payment in excess of 50000, the system will not accept as the remaining amount of the Invoice is 50000 only.
For Fifo Invoice Clearing -
At the time of Posting F-28, click on "Distribute by age" the system will automatically clear the value on FIFO Basis.

Posting a partial payment for customer receipts with full amount

Hi,
Is there a way by which I can post the full amount of the invoice as a partial
receipt (that is without clearing the open items but at the same time linking the invoice and the amount). If I use F-28 the system clears the line item if the partial payment amount equals the invoice amount.
The scenario here is a PDC received from the customer. I would like to post the credit to the customer account as a partial payment and debit a special GL account for PDC received. For finding out the customer ageing I shall not use the credit (as the PDC has not yet materialised). This can be done by posting the PDC entry using a different document type and excluding it from the selection criteria. At the same time customer account statements should be sent to him/her after considering the PDCs received (the assignment field will contain the invoice number and therefore can be summed). Only when the PDC is deposited and cleared do I want to clear the partial payment (if the amounts match) using the assignment field. The Cheques due on any date can be obtained from the Special GL account.
Or can anyone think of a better way to solve the issue.
1. PDCs should be credited to the customer account when it is received.
2. The users know about the invoices pertaining to the PDCs only at the time of posting the PDCs and not during the time it is deposited into the bank. Therefore the linking should be done at the receipt of PDC stage itself and not later.
3. Customer account statements have to be sent after considering the PDCs.
4. A/R information system should not consider the PDCs received to the customer account.
5. I should be able to quickly choose the cheques I want to deposit and transfer it to the Incoming Bank Account.
Any help will be appreciated with points (and lots of them )
Rgds
Shivram.

Hi
I would suggest you treat the PDC as a noted item which is only for statistical purpose. You can post the PDC cheque to the customer account through transaction code F-38 which will post as noted item in the customer account. If you want to analyse the age-wise outstanding from the customer exclude the noted item. You can enter the invoice no for which payment is received in the assignment column which will be useful for sorting purpose. If you want to know what are the cheques to be deposited for the day, you can take the same by selecting the due on date from the customer accounts using the noted item indicator. By using this indicator the credit management for the customer can also be done.
After depositing the cheque, reverse the statistical posting and make fresh posting as debiting Bank a/c and crediting customer account.
Hope it will help you to some extent.

Posting Partial Payments throught incoming REMADV - Payment Advice

Hi ,
I am trying to post payment differences as partial payments whilst processing incoming payment advices via EDI using IDOC message type REMADV.
In table T076A (auto-clearing with payment advice notes), I have configured the company code with payment advice type "06" and set active the flag for "Partial Payments" (XPPMT), However, whilst processing payment advices through RFAVIS40, the payment differences are still posted as Residual Items - and NOT partial payments.
I need the original invoice item open and not cleared - with residual items the original invoice is cleared.
I have seen SAP note 309952, which states that payment advice notes created manually are processed as standard via residual items in case of payment differences. However, in my case, I am posting payment advices created via an IDOC and are of type "06", therefore I am expecting that they should be processed according to the flag in table T076A...i.e with Partial Payments.
Can anyone help with this issue? Or have experienced something similar and came up with a solution..
Thank you in advance.
Sandip.

Hello Shannon, At my current client, we are also having the same requirement i.e. incoming payment advices are posted via EDI 820 in the legacy system. Now we have to start brining these payment advices into SAP... were you able to get your issue resolved.... any help will be great. thanks.

Hi
Please review the help.sap.com documentation on partial payments
here you will see the following stated
Posting Partial Payments
Use
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.
Procedure
To enter a partial payment, proceed as follows:
On the Process open items screen, choose the Partial pmt tab.
In the Payment amount column, enter the partial payment amount. You can make a partial payment for one or more open items. You can assign a reason code to each partial payment. Depending on the reason code you specify, you can send appropriate payment notices to your customers.
To go back to the standard screen for editing open items, choose the Standard tab.
Result
The system stores the document number, fiscal year and number of the invoice item in the partial payment. You can find this information in the Payment for field. Thus you can refer to the original open item from the partial payment. When you post the remaining amount for the invoice, both the partial payment and the invoice are cleared.
You can enter partial payments using the mouse. The advantage of this is that if the remaining amount has to be assigned to a single item, you can enter it automatically on the partial payment screen. To do so, place the cursor in the Payment amount field for the line item required and choose the item. The system then takes account of the difference for this item.
with kind regards
Cora

Payment terms on partial payments

Hi Everyone,
Is there a configuration setting somewhere that copies the payment terms of the original invoice on to the newly created open item. I know for certain that the payment terms can be copied from original invoice on to residual items when paid as a residual payment and this can be done by checking 'Payment terms from Invoice'. So, is there anything similar for partial payments as well? or is that standard in standard?
Let me know.
Thanks in advance,
Kumar

Hi,
There is definetely a solution to your issue.
You need to
1. change the field status of posting key - 25 from suppressed to optional.
2. Write a subsitution rule for subsituting the payment terms with '*' whenever the document type is KZ.
This way irrespective of you doing a partial payment or residual or a full payment, the payment terms are copied from the invoice.

Reversing a Partial payment

SAP gurus,
We are doing a partial payment to 1 of the 2 invoices for the vendor in F-53. The other invoice was paid in full. Then the residual balance was paid thru payment run. Instead of showing both the invoices and payments as cleared items, the system is showing the 1st invoice (paid full) as an open item along with the payment. The invoice that was partially paid intially, along with the payements is showing as cleared items.
E.g.
invoice 1: $ 5000
invoice 2: $ 2000
Payment (F-53) --
invoice 1: 5000 -- paid in full
invoice 2: 2000 -- paid only 1700 (bal 300)
Bal 300: Paid thru Payment run at a later date
Client needs to reverse all the postings and correct the bank information and do a re-payment. The system doesnt recognise the clearing document.
Vendor line item display --
open items:                                              Cleared items:
KR 5000                                                    KZ 1700
KZ 5000                                                     KZ 300
                                                                 KR 2000
Please help.
thanks to all.

there are two payment documents...
first step APP
---> Use FBRA - reset clearing
Second- F-53 document- this is as open item...
---> Use FB08 for this
then FBRA or FB08 reverse the payment document posted thru APP

Foreign Exchange fluctuation rate is not showing in case of partial payment

Hi,
In case of foreign exchange collection from Customer through F-28 in partial payment "Exchange Rate Gain" or "Exchange Rate Loss" is not appearing in GL balance simulation or Customer balance report. Only in case of full payment from Customer then "Exchange Rate Gain" or "Exchange Rate Loss" is appearing in GL balance simulation. What is the reason ?
Regards,
Anindita

Hi
Even in the scenario described by you,
You can use both residual and partial payments
here is what would happen for partial /residual payment after you post the payment.
Partial payment
open items
Debit USD 500
Credit USD 200
No cleared items
Residual Payment
open items
Debit USD 300
cleared items
Debit USD 500
Credit USD 200
Credit USD 300

Partial payment tab problem when clearing two open items in vendor account

Dear All,
I have the problem with partial payment procedure.
As SAP is presenting the process, partial payment should work as follows (i.e. with vendor):
1. Incoming invoice is posted -> Credit -100
2. Credit note is posted -> Debit +20
3. Payment (without clearing) is posted to vendor account -> Debit +50
I'll run transaction F-44 and go to tab "Partial payment".
I see 3 items (as above).
I mark Item -100 and +20
I double click in filed next to -100 and it changes to -20
An now it should make no posting but only assignemet of one item to another.
But in my case, if I click "save" icon, it makes postings Debit 20 and Credit -20 on vendor account.
Is there any possibility that such clearing will not generate any posting but just make assignement of one item to another. Or maybe there is something wrongly configured in the system. At the moment the partial payment makes some kind of residual items.
Thanks in advance for replay.
Best regards
Greg

Hello,
Yes, it's right, whenever we clear vendor or custmoer account, the system creates document, but as I remeber from other instalations, the document had header but there was no postings.
It case described, the system creates posting:
40 Vendor 20 EUR
50 Vendor 20 EUR
This is strange for me. As ther should be clearing document but with no postings.
Have you got any idea how to configure the system, so partial payment tab in clearing transactions creates clearing document but with no phisical postings.
Best regards
Greg

Partial payment in General Ledger Open item

Anybody know how works partial payment in general ledger open item?
For example:
I post a General ledger open item for 100 usd document nº XXXX1 in a Bank account
Then enter incoming payment F-06 transaction, partial payment 50 USD
When i acces to F-06 for a new partial payment selecting by document nº XXXX1, zerop amount appear in field "Partially paid". SAP can't link original open item with partial payment for g/l open item.
For AP and AR open item, partial payment are linked to a original open item using REBZG field, but thsi field doen't exist in BSIS.
There are any way that for g/l open item can use partial payment (partially paid amount appaera correctly linked)?
Thanks. Best regards.

Hi Carlos,
When you do F-06 for the second time
select 2 documents
- nº XXXX1 and
- document posted first time with F-06
Hope it helps
May I know in what scenario, do you need partial payment for GL accounts ?
also try to consider the use of residual payment.
