Prepayment / Downpayment

I got to do some set-up on pre-payment.
Is pre-payment and down-payment different ? I know SAP has separate process for downpayment.
If yes - do we have separate processs to handle them in SAP?
If customer does pre-payment - we need to offer x% discount. Does this mean that I have to create a condition record that decreases the price?
How does customer payment term configuration links to the pricing procedure in this case?
Any advice highly apprecited and rewarded.

Prepayment request and final invoice

Can anyone help with a question about posting payments to a prepayment request and then reconciling the final invoice. We create a sales order and then a prepayment request for 100% of the sales order. The customer then pays for the goods. We put in the payment under the incoming payment screen against the prepayment invoice. This then closes the prepayment request.
We then ship the goods to the customer creating a delivery note from the sales order. Then we create a final invoice for the customer. All OK so far I think. Then the help page tells me to go again to the incoming payment screen, select the business partner and then select the prepayment invoice and the final invoice and all will be OK. BUT we cannot add the incoming payment because we get a message " Confirmation amount must be > zero".
What are we doing wrong. We have tried to do a standard reconciliation in the banking module, but this leaves a double posting amount in the VAT account.

By Pre Payment I believe you are referring to Down Payment Invoice. After you have processed an Incoming Payment for the Downpayment invoice there is no need to go to the Incoming Payment again to reconcile the downpayment.
You would link the downpayment from the AR Invoice itself. Please read this document https://websmp107.sap-ag.de/~form/sapnet?_FRAME=CONTAINER&_OBJECT=011000358700000738282007E

Downpayment processing

Hi all,
Does anyone know or has anyone configured a advance payment process in CRM. The scenario is that the customer requests a service but that service can only be provided once the customer has paid by cheque or BACS.
There is a Prepayment transaction type CPP1, is this an option? Does this work similiarly to the Downpayment process in ECC?
Grateful for any ideas
Thanks
Paul

Hi Naveen Agrawal
As the downpayment has to be done customer wise then first of all create the sales order but manually you change the item category for specific customers with whom downpayment has to be done
Check the configuration of Downpayment

Invoice Verification Prepayment

Hi all,
I have a requirement to capture the deposit/downpayment (payment made in advance which will be used to offset the final amount to be paid) amount made for a purchase. And there is a need for the system to help prevent extra amount to be paid to the suppliers when the final payment is to be made.
I read about this 'Prepayment' function in the MM module which seems to be suitable to be used for recording the deposit made. However, I'm having some problems with 3-way match as the prepayment invoice created forces me to enter a quantity. Does anyone know where else I can find more information on how this prepayment function works? I could only find information from SAP help documentation.
Thanks.
Regards,
Wai Leng

Hi Ravi,
The config is in SPRO --> Materials Management --> Logistic Invoice Verification --> Incoming Invoice --> Prepayment.
Subsequently, when I perform MIR7, scroll down in the header box to set the prepayment indicator.
Sure, contact me at [email protected]
Thanks!!

Support SD process with prepayment (ECC 6.0)

Need comments on FI entries needed to support SD process:
1. Order is created in 3rd party store front) for two items.
2. Receive Payment from customer (Company policy doesn;t allow journal entry for customer; is there any other way to achieve this effect ?)
      DR CC Clearing account
      CR Customer (reference Order #)
3. Create Order in SAP (using same Order # as #1)
4. Ship item # 1
      DR COGS
      CR Stock
5. Create billing document for item #1 and release to accounting
      DR Customer
      CR Revenue
6. Ship item # 2
      DR COGS
      CR Stock
7. Create billing document for item #2 and release to accounting
      DR Customer
      CR Revenue
8. Custom ABAP batch program picks completed orders and clears customer's debit and credit entries pertaining to completed orders:
      DR Customer (open item resulting from initial payment)
      CR Customer (open item resulting from first billing document)
      CR Customer (open item resulting from second billing document)
9. Credit card report load:
      DR Cash-in-transit
      CR CC Clearing account
10. Bank statement load:
      DR Bank
      CR Cash-in-transit
Please don't focus on credit card (We don't want to use SD credit card processing). Just consider the scenario as receiving prepayment before order processing starts.
Down-payment is an option.
Can the first debit entry be made to a sub-ledger other than A/R ? This way A/R doesn't get reduced and "credit" is captured as "liability".

Down payment is the best option in your case. Downpayment may or may not include an Order reference, which later can be adjusted against the invoice booked.
You can also consider Customer Credit Memo, but that's not the right way.

Vendor Downpayment Request Payment Order

Dear All
We are processing most of our vendor payments through Automatic Payment Program which initially create the payment order and later once we upload the EBS system clears the vendor open item. All the vendor open items which are having payment order are locked and cannot be cleared without payment order. This is a control so that no duplicate payment can be made. But we recently found a flaw in SAP where although normal open items are blocked but in case if there is any payment order for downpayment request, we can still process the payment through F-48 meaning we can create the down payment for the DPR for which payment order exist so there is a chance of duplicate payment to vendor. Please advise if someone face the same issue and is there any solution to control it.

A/P Credit memo cannot copy from A/P Downpayment Invoice

Hello Everyone!
I have encounter problem in A / P credit memo. If I clicked on the Copy from A/P Down payment the list of invoices do not appear.
List seems to be empty. I've checked on the A/P down payment and the account is still open and the is an existing downpayment.
Thanks!

Hi Nelle_13,
if the DPI is not shown in the matrix when you select AP Down Payment from the 'Copy From' menu in the credit memo, then that DPI has been paid or credited already. Only open DPIs can be used as base document for a credit memo.
To check, you should open the DPI, rightclick & select 'Applied/Reconciled Transactions'. That will show you the documents this DPI is reconciled with & guide you to the payment/credit note standing on it. If it's a payment, you can cancel the payment & thus re-open the DPI. It can then be used as base for a credit memo. You'll need to check with the accountant what to do with the payment.
All the best,
Kerstin

Error while posting A/R Downpayment Invoice with Excisable Tax Code.

While posting A/R Dowpayment Invoice with Excisable Tax Code error of "Unbalanced Transaction" appears. This error does not occur while posting A/R Downpayment Invoices with Non-Excisable Tax Codes.
Kindly provide a solution for the same.

SAP Note Number: 1179405
Error -5002 when trying to copy a document with Sales BOM
In order to create the delivery via the DI, you need to set the oDoc.Lines.BaseLine value to the LineNum value from the RDR1 table (in the above example you should enter the value 2).
we set oDoc.Lines.BaseLine=0 before starting the lines loop. This has resolved the issue.

Thanks Robin,
i was able to get a work around for this. For the time being i am using the following code snippet, i will try using the one u sent an will see if this works too.
// create nodeinfo object for the node that table will bind to
final IWDNodeInfo nodeinfo = wdThis.wdGetContext().node<NODENAME>().getNodeInfo() ;
//get the structure of the node
final IStructure struct = nodeinfo.getStructureType() ;
Iterator iter = nodeinfo.iterateAttributes() ;
if (null != struct)
totalFields = struct.getNumberOfFields();
else
for ( Iterator i = nodeinfo.iterateAttributes(); i.hasNext(); i.next() )
totalFields++;
for(count = 1; count <= totalFields; count++)
fieldName = nodeinfo.getStructureType().getField(count).getName();

F110 - Grouping of downpayment with invoice

Hi SAP gurus,
For a vendors , we have downpayment for 20000 and invoice for 10000. Both the downpayment and invoice have same due date. We have also configured that the sp Gl indicator allowed for payment in FBZP.
So when we run the APP , the system is processing 10000 invoice line item and 20000 downpayment is in exception list. Ideally the system should not clear any of line items as debit is more that credit. Please let me how to solve this issue??
Even in vendor master data, we have not ticked individual payment.
Please help

Check the Payment grouping in config.
Also make sure that this grouping is specified in the Vendor Master
Define Payment Groupings
In this activity you define the grouping keys that are used to settle a customer or vendor's open items together. For each key, you specify a maximum of three fields from the database tables BSIK (vendors) or BSID (customers). Items containing the same entries in the specified fields are settled together. You determine the grouping key used to group together the open items of a customer/vendor by entering this grouping key in the customer/vendor master record.
Example
If you have installed SAP's loans management system (currently being developed), you can use the grouping key to carry out bank collection at the customer, separated according to loan numbers.
Note
If an alternative payee is specified in the master record of the customer/vendor, the grouping key of the payee is used. When clearing between customers and vendors takes place, the key in the vendor master record has priority.
Activities
1. Define the required grouping keys.
2. Ensure that the grouping keys are entered in the customer/vendor master records

TDS At DownPayment Request

HI ALL
Iam using A/P Downpayment Request instead of Downpayment Invoice for Advances. Now Iam trying to configure TDS. In that sceario I noticed that TDS cutting is not happening.
I followed the below sceario in SAP 8.8 PL 10
1. Raised the A/P Downpayment Request
2. Out going Payment agst DT Request
3. A/PInvoice & selected the DT Request
In this sceario how to Capure TDS...
Note: In Item / BP Masters, withholding option is selected.
Thanks
Chakrapani

Hi Rahul
While using A/P Downpayment Invoice, we observed that Vendor Ledger is coming wrongly.
1. AP DT Invoice: Vendor -
Cr
DT Account -
Dr
2. Outgoing Payment: Vendor -
Dr
Bank Account --- Cr
If I run Ledger for that Vendor, It shows 0 balance, instead of Debit Balance(Advance Amt)
Thats why we are using DT Request.
Is this is default SAP behaviuor or we have to do any setting to get debit amt in ledger report..
Thanks
Chakrapani

Posting Vendor Downpayment requests with input tax

Hi Gurus,
I am trying to configure the down payment request for Vendor Payments, I want these down payment request to be posted so I un flagged the Noted Items check box and flagged the check box Commitments warnings check box and also I entered the Account determination key for Input tax clearing. Alternative GL account is defined to allow the Input Tax.
Now the problem is, when I try to post the Down payment request document with input tax I get an error message stating that "Down pmnts with taxes are not permitted when processing with jur.code". Actually the input tax is being assigned automatically even if I dont use a tax code.
So, can any one help me to understand what am I missing in my configuration or is it some thing which cannot be processed using F-47.
Oh by the way I am using the Special GL indication F (down payment request).
Thanks
Shilpa

Nicole,
Which country is this requirement for? As far as I know, there is no tax incidence on downpayment. Input tax arises only when you receive the invoice, right? Not when you receive a downpayment.

Re: Downpayment Request to FI from MM

Hi All,
I have a payment term, which specifies a down payment of 20% as soon as a PO is created. Now when I use this Payment Term in PO and when the PO is saved, we need to generate a downpayment request automatically in FI. Can anybody help on how to go about in the above requirement.
Thanx in Advance
Anand

Hi
There will not be any direct link between PO and down payment.
If u define it in payment terms, it will not pass the requisition to FI for down payment.
If u r making the down payment against vendor, It will not reflect in the PO.
But small validation programming will do.
Check the down payment for vendor in F-48.

Raman

Match downpayment request with payments through F-53

Hello,
Our client makes downpayment request in F-47 and then makes payment (invoice-based) through F-53 or F110.
How can we match the downpayment request with the payment made if it is not through F-48?
Thanks in advance....

Hi,
Request is as good as maintaining our communication to the vendor.
Its only when the actual payment is done, that a down payment is posted.
Only then it would affect the accounts. Hence until its posted thru F-48, its not affected.
You can post F-47 and do a F110 run which would do a posting in F-48.
Later a payment run can be done again thru F110.

AR Downpayment Request To Be Linked With The Corresponding AR Invoice

Dear All,
I created a sales order of amount 100000. Based On this Sales Order I created AR Downpayment Request of 100% amount i.e 100000. Now I Opened the Incoming Payments Screen , selected the AR Downpayment Request and received the payment of 100000 against It. Later On I created the AR Invoice Based On the Sales Order.
Now My Problem is I can not reconcile the Payment Received against DP request with the AR Invoice. Is this any missing functionality or What|? When I goto into Internal BP Reconciliation , select the customer, then select the Payment received against the DP Request and the Invoice and add, It gives a messege of ''"Payment Transaction Applied to Downpayment request can not be reconciled here"
Kindly Help,
Amol Mangalkar

Hi Amol,
I recommend you to create Journal Entry for reconcile after input AR Invoice.
For example;
1) Input AR Downpayment Request
no Journel Entry
2) Input Incoming payment
Cash $100 / Advance AR $100
3) Input AR Invoice
AR $100 / Sales Revenue $100
4) Input Journal Entry <== you need it
Advance AR $100 / AR $100
5) Reconciliation
for each Advance AR account, AR account
I hope above sample helps you...
Thanks,
Kaori
