Security Deposit questions.

Hello everyone!
Well, I am 20 years old and looking into opening my own Verizon contract and I have zero credit history. I am a student at a local college, never had to take out a student loan, and have had no debts to pay. Reason in asking this, is I've done alot of reading recently and have seen where people have had to pay ~$400 security deposits. I currently don't have the money to pay for this alongside the price of a subsidized phone. Is it possible for a parent/guardian to cosign? Is it a guarantee that I will be forced to pay a security deposit? If anyone can shed some light on my questions it would be VERY much appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
Zander

Went to the local Verizon store today and for some awesomely odd reason, I'm cleared for 1 line! No security deposit required!
HOORAY!!!

Security deposit issue: customer service saying it is never possible to get it back

To anyone who might be able to straighten things out here,
first of all, I am not asking for a security deposit back right away. I was just asking for a possibility of getting my security deposit back and on which condition I can get it back. However, when I called up (800)-922-0204 and spoke with counselor after waiting half-an-hour, she told me I am unable to get security deposit back at all since it is non-refundable to anyone. I questioned her why is it called a deposit in such case, and she kept on insisting that security deposit is something I pay in the beginning to open up an account and it cannot be returned at all. I was puzzled since the guy at the retailer shop and he told me I can probably get the deposit back at some time later and check the estimated date to get the deposit back if I called the number specified above and talked to a counselor.
So I checked up the answers posted up in this forum and figured out that indeed security deposit is returned after certain criteria is met. I was really irritated and upset, but that's something I have to deal with, so I'll pass on that. Following are my conditions on Verizon account and I hope someone can tell me when I can possibly get the deposit back and/or where I can get such info.:
I first opened up my account in Verizon 4 years ago with $400 deposit (Aug. 2014). Then, as a Korean male, I had to go back to my country to serve in military service that I had my account suspended for about 3 consecutive years. (Thanks to the Verizon retailer who helped me out at Oakdale Mall.) The first condition to get the security deposit back was "to have 12 consecutive monthly bills paid without delay (No suspensions while doing so)" and I know it was not done since I suspended my account at around 10th month (June 5th, 2011). I re-activated my account with a different phone and a plan on Aug. 30th, 2014 and the guy at the Verizon service center in Vestal, NY told me to check when I can possibly get my security deposit back.
Sorry to leave such a long message here but I guess I am not good at summarizing things here. Please take the pain and help this poor kid out.
Thanks to y'all who reads it & leaves a possible answer to my question.

First of all, I assume you have a misprint and you opened your account ~4 years ago in August of 2010, not 2014(1 month ago).
Next, it appears you had your account suspended for 3 years after completing only 10 months of service and have recently re-activated the account.
If the above information is correct in your case, I would assume you will get your deposit back 12 months after reactivating your account without any further suspensions and/or late payments. So I would guess you will be eligible to get your deposit back in August, 2015.

Agreement for Security Deposit

Hi,
We are implementing FX-RE. We have a requirement to create a Sales-based rent contract with security deposit.
I understand unlike classic real estate in FX-RE we need to create seprate agreement for securtiy deposit assigned to main contract.
I have created a seprate agreement for security deposit with ref to the main contract, but I am not able to see the security deposit amount as open item/accural for any of the contract.
Best Regards
Shekhar

Hi Shekhar,
after creating the security deposit agreement you will also have to define a condition for the deposit.
In standard, this is entered as statistical condition (AFAIK) and that's why you won't get any cash flow.
Hence, if you want to receive an open item for the deposit amount you will have to create a (one-time) condition and post it
accordingly via RERAPP.
Hope this answers your question.
Best regards,
Christian

When will my Security Deposit ($400) refunded?

On 9/28/2013 I was asked for a Security Deposit of $400 and was informed this would come back to me. My questions are WHEN and HOW?

Deposits are usually returned after 12 months of on-time payments, along with other criteria, i.e., click here:

No credit, Deposit questions?

Hello I have a few questions if anybody can shed some light or experience....
I'm 20 years old and was planning on selecting Verizon as my first (and hopefully last) cellphone provider. The problem is that I have no credit and was looking to order through the Verizon's official Website or Amazon's Website. Since I have no credit I read that there would need to be a security deposit taken for the two year service. Is there any set deposit for people with no credit or does it vary person by person? And does anybody know when I would be informed about the Deposit (and the price) if I was to order online? The price only bothers me because I read that it could be up to $1000 dollars and that's a little steep for me to have them holding for up to a year.
I understand it might be a bit easier to goto a local store and try the process there but I was hoping to receive the discount phone prices and plan option ease that the online website offers.
So if anybody can answer or shed some experience that they might have gone through with similar issues that would be great!

A security deposit may be required of customers before a new activation. While security deposit amounts vary, they are included in the amount of the total sale an exact price for a deposit cannot be quoted until a credit check is ran when you are ready to begin new service with Verizon Wireless..

Downpayment Request and Security Deposit

Hi Experts,
My scenario is to create a downpayment request, make a payment and it should get cleared with the actual receivables.I created a Down payment request through Manual posting.Did the payment for the same. But during my final bill it doesnt get cleared with my actual receivables. I have done the required configuration for Down payments in posting area 1010 with 3000/0010 alongwith clearing restriction '5' and also maiantained them in SAP Utilities -> Invoice Processing -> Item Selection in Account Maintainence as well as Bill printout but unable to acheive the same.
Moreover, I checked my Security deposit also. It is getting cleared but still remaining as a down payment item. Event R401 is also active.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in anticipation.

Hi,
Also check the Clearing configuring for invoicing has the Account Maintenance Clearing Variant defined:
Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable ->Basic Functions ->Open Item Management.->Clearing Control->Define Specifications for Clearing Types->Define Specifications for IS-U Invoicing
Ensure that the Final Billing Clearing Types R42 and R43 are assigned the Account Maintenance Clearing Variant.
In addtion, extend the Interval Days in Item Selection in Invoicing to be 999 days. While Due dates should not matter for credits, some functionality respects the due date.
If all this fails, make sure your Event R401 is not bypassing any standard logic that is contained with the IS-U standard Event ISU_EVENT_R401.
Also, make sure that your account is not a multi-contract account. There are dependencies during Move-out/Final bill for Security Deposits the Release can occur only if all contracts are moved out.

Calculate interest on Security Deposit at the time of invoice?

Dear All,
I have a requirement of calculating interest at the time of invoicing.
I did the following configuration in spro:
SAP Utilities ->Invoicing->Invoice Processing->Define Control for additional invoicing functions
I clicked at the Int:Cash Security Deposit button.
But when I execute transaction EA10 (Creating invoice) , interest is not calculated on the security deposit.
All the configuration w.r.t interest calculation is correct.
Please let me know if anybody has any solution to this.
Warm regards,
Rahul

Hi Rahul,
To calculate interest on any line item, we have to assign a interest key to it.
Take the FICA document created for Security Deposit and open it into FPE2 and goto change document:Item and then click on Tab Dunn. Data. Provide the interest key over here and then RUN your invoicing.

Gaurav.

Terrible experience with Verizon customer care. Need update on security deposit.

Hi,
I disconnected my FIOS internet service about two months back. When I took the connection last year, I was asked to pay a security deposit of $400 and I paid this. After disconnecting FIOS, I am trying to get the status of the refund of my security deposit.
I have called close to ten times to the customer care and all the times, I have been given either false information or I was told they would call me back and that would not happen.
At this point, I am extremely disappointed and surprised about how an organization like Verizon could be so unprofessional.
I need to know the status of my security deposit. Has anyone else faced this kind of a problem? How was this resolved?

Sathish

Table for Security deposit status

Hi,
I have FM which gets the status but is there any way to get table related to status of security deposit.
Thanks in Advance
Regards
Haricharan

As per my understanding these values are not updating into any tables.
They are using this Function Module to reterive the status <FKK_DB_CASH_SECURITY_STATUS_GP>.
I have seen this program they are maintaining these values as constant.
When you are creating they are collecting data from Domain <C_STATUS_KK>
Execute this FM to get the status, just give the security deposity no. You will get the status.

Security Deposit Amount from customer should not be deducted

Hi,
client requirement is Security deposit from Dealer(Customer) should not show the balance of amount of Invoice of the Dealer, It should be shown seperately and not show the balance after deducting Security deposit. This security deposit is returnable to Dealer.
So, all the invoice raised to customer and credit memo should be shown different amount without deducting from Secutiy deposits.
For example If Rs. 1lakhs is security deposit
there r 3 invoice of debit against Customer say 60000. In customer line item it should not show the balance of Rs40000. It should show only 3invoice amount of Rs.60000 and it should show seperately Rs.1lakhs.
IS Thereany configuration of this scenerio.
Regards,
Sreekanth

Hello,
This is what expected to do.
That is the reason SAP has provided with two check boxes in FBL5N.
If you select only normal items you will be shown INR +60000
If you select both normal items and special GL items, you will be shown INR 40000- (-10000+60000)
If you select special GL items it will be shown -100000
There is nothing special you are required to do.

Security Deposit Payment and Clearing!

Hi Experts,
We have an requirement when the cash security deposit is processed/released in SAP ISU it should hit the liability ledger account and not the bank clearing account.
As per SAP standard functionlity when the cash security deposit request is initially posted it will have only A/R account associated with it as it is a statistical item with the main and sub of 0020/0020 and when the actual payment is received we post as an cash security deposit payment with the main/sub as 0020/0010 through assignment in the posting area 1010.
We have maintained the 0020/0010 in EK02 with the liability account assocaited with it.
Though it reads as cash security deposit payment as it is still posted through the payment lots it hits the bank clearing account associated with the payment lot and not the ledger account associated with the main and sub of 0020/0010. I checked the posting area 1010 and it didnt allow the G/L account to be specified during down payment clearing.
I am not sure if there is a way to handle this but our requirement is to capture this cash security deposit payment in different liability ledger account and not the Bank clearing/Cash in transit account.
Any thoughts on how to go about it and fix this issue will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Bharat

Hi - I recommend you document the expected postings, because when the security deposit is made, you are debiting cash, right?
Here would be the expected postings as an accountant when the security deposit is made:
Debit Cash
Credit Liability
When security deposit is released, then the following should occur:
Debit Liability
Credit cash
So to me the assumption that it shouldn't post to the bank clearing account is incorrect; it should as cash transactions are occurring, right? I recommend documenting the requirements with the accountant.

please guide me on this issue.
Thanks & Regards

Hi,
You can create a special GL indicator for that and can then make transfer posting from vendor normal balance to vendor special GL indicator using transaction F-51
