The amount of down payment must be less than the invoice amount

Hi all,
Our customers are using SAP 2007-PL15 and SAP 2007-PL41.
When we want to create a down payment for a sales order, and we want to pay the entire amount of the sales order, including tax, we have to put an amount inthe TOTAL field of the Down Payment window since by default, the down payment amount is the total of the invoice before applying tax. The DPM is
higher than 100% (strange but I think it's normal since the down payment is not planned to take the tax in consideration).
Then, we create an incoming payment for this down payment. It's ok.
Then, we create an invoice based on the sales order we have paid with the down payment. It's impossible to use the down payment for the invoice... why that ? We receive the error 'The amount of down payment must be less than the invoice amount'. This causes big headaches to our customers !!
Could you explain us what to do please ?
thanks,
Luce

I'm very sorry, I have a similar question in dealing with AP Down Payment Request Linked to AP Invoice, my case like this:
1. I created 3 AP DPRs,their amount are each 100,000 RMB(for example, their document number are 10,11,12). then do the outgoing payment fully paided.
2. I created a AP Invoice with the amount 150,000 RMB(for example, this AR Invoice document number is 5). I use the buttom"Total Down Payment",and selecet AP DRP No.10 and 11. When I click the buttom"Add",an error shows:
The amount of down payment must be less than the invoice amount
and I don't know how to continue.....
Many Thanks
Kam

Reconciliation amount must be less than the balance due for this tran

Hi,
I received the error below when creating an outgoing payment for the invoices.
"Reconciliation amount must be less than the balance due for this transaction."
I have found this thread from Forum "Reconciliation amount must be less than the balance due for this trans " but that was posted in 2009 Jul.
The database version I am using is 2007B PL 13.
Kindly suggest if you know the solution for 2007b PL 13 for the above mentioned error.
Thank you.

Hi Yadana,
The solution from that thread is still valid for you. Your version is as early as 2008.

SharePoint 2010, Visual Studio 2010, Packaging a solution - The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters.

Hi,
I have a solution that used to contain one SharePoint 2010 project. The project is named along the following lines:
<Company>.<Product>.SharePoint - let's call it Project1 for future reference. It contains a number of features which have been named according
to their purpose, some are reasonably long and the paths fairly deep. As far as I am concerned we are using sensible namespaces and these reflect our company policy of "doing things properly".
I first encountered the following error message when packaging the aforementioned SharePoint project into a wsp:
"The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters."
I went through a great deal of pain in trying to rename the project, shorten feature names and namespaces etc... until I got it working. I then went about gradually
renaming everything until eventually I had what I started with, and it all worked. So I was none the wiser...not ideal, but I needed to get on and had tight delivery timelines.
Recently we wanted to add another SharePoint project so that we could move some of our core functinality out into a separate SharePoint solution - e.g. custom workflow
error logging. So we created another project in Visual Studio called:
<Company>.<Product>.SharePoint.<Subsystem> - let's call it Project2 for future reference
And this is when the error has come back and bitten me! The scenario is now as follows:
1. project1 packages and deploys successfully with long feature names and deep paths.
2. project2 does not package and has no features in it at all. The project2 name is 13 characters longer than project1
I am convinced this is a bug with Visual Studio and/or the Package MSBuild target. Why? Let me explain my findings so far:
1. By doing the following I can get project2 to package
In Visual Studio 2010 show all files of project2, delete the obj, bin, pkg, pkgobj folders.
Clean the solution
Shut down Visual Studio 2010
Open Visual Studio 2010
Rebuild the solution
Package the project2
et voila the package is generated!
This demonstrates that the package error message is in fact inaccurate and that it can create the package, it just needs a little help, since Visual Studio seems to
no longer be hanging onto something.
Clearly this is fine for a small time project, but try doing this in an environment where we use Continuous Integration, Unit Testing and automatic deployment of SharePoint
solutions on a Build Server using automated builds.
2. I have created another project3 which has a ludicrously long name, this packages fine and also has no features contained within it.
3. I have looked at the length of the path under the pkg folder for project1 and it is large in comparison to the one that is generated for project2, that is when it
does successfully package using the method outlined in 1. above. This is strange since project1 packages and project2 does not.
4. If I attempt to add project2 to my command line build using MSBuild then it fails to package and when I then open up Visual Studio and attempt to package project2
from the Visual Studio UI then it fails with the path too long error message, until I go through the steps outlined in 1. above to get it to package.
5. DebugView shows nothing useful during the build and packaging of the project.
6. The error seems to occur in
CreateSharePointProjectService target called at line 365 of
Microsoft.VisualStudio.SharePoint.targetsCurrently I am at a loss to work out why this is happening? My next task is to delete
project2 completely and recreate it and introduce it into my Visual Studio solution.
Microsoft, can you confirm whether this is a known issue and whether others have encountered this issue? Is it resolved in a hotfix?
Anybody else, can you confirm whether you have come up with a solution to this issue? When I mean a solution I mean one that does not mean that I have to rename my namespaces,
project etc... and is actually workable in a meaningful Visual Studio solution.

Hi
Yes, I thought I had fixed this my moving my solution from the usual documents to
c:\v2010\projectsOverflow\DetailedProjectTimeline
This builds ok, but when I come to package I get the lovely error:
Error 2 The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters. C:\VS2010\ProjectsOverflow\DetailedProjectTimeline\VisualDetailedProjectTimelineWebPart\Features\Feature1\Feature1.feature VisualDetailedProjectTimeline
Now, the error seems to be related to
Can anyone suggest what might be causing this. Probably some path in an XML file somewhere. Here is my prime suspect!
<metaData>
<type name="VisualDetailedProjectTimelineWebPart.VisualProjectTimelineWebPart.VisualProjectTimeline, $SharePoint.Project.AssemblyFullName$" />
<importErrorMessage>$Resources:core,ImportErrorMessage;</importErrorMessage>
</metaData>
<data>
<properties>
<property name="Title" type="string">VisualProjectTimelineWebPart</property>
<property name="Description" type="string">My Visual WebPart</property>
</properties>
</data>
</webPart>
</webParts>
.... Unless I can solve this I will have to remove the project and recreate but with simple paths. Tho I will be none the wiser if I come across this again.

Thanks,

Hi AltafB,
For your situation, you can short the path for the source code. Or use a short path for build agent folder in your build definition. You can refer to the links below to solve your problem:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/aaronhallberg/archive/2007/06/20/team-build-and-260-character-paths.aspx

Besides, since you deploy Orchard to Azure, you can also publish it directly using publish profile in Visual Stduio or WebMatrix directly.

Get-ChildItem : The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters.

Hi, Im trying to get the whole path in my server, so i tried that with this following code
Get-ChildItem $sourceFolder -Recurse | ?{$_.PsIsContainer} |Get-Acl
But then, it showed me somtehing like this :
Get-ChildItem : The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters.
I tried to find the solver everywhere and mostly they propose to change the path name, which is impossible, since I am working with my company server, and those folder have already there before i start to work here, then the other ask me to use robocopy,
but all of the trick just dont work
is there any way to solve this problem? thanks

There is no simple solution to this. And it is not a limitation of powershell itself, but of the underlying NTFS file system.
If the problem is that a folder with a name longer than 248 exists anywhere within your directory structure, you are hooped.
If the problem is that some fully qualified path names exceed 260 characters, then, in those cases, the solution already given is to create a psdrive partway up the path from the drive letter or server/share root of the path. Unfortunately, the output produced
will be relative to that psdrive and not to what is specified as the $sourcefolder.
unless you already know where those problematic paths are, you might consider trying to trap those errors and have your script figure out where it needs to create psdrives. You might then be able to calculate the equivalent path for each file or folder and
output that. the programming effort would be simpler to just created a psdrive for each folder encountered, however I expect that would be very inefficient.

Limit the no of segments per IDOC to less than the current default value

Hi friends,
please help me in the following issue.
The possibility to limit the number
of segments per IDOC to less than the current default value.
Purpose is to limit the traffic of IDOCs between systems.
How to solve this issue to avoid traffic
Thanks in advance.

Sandeep

Hi Kiran,
Actually we are using standard ones at that time we are getting prolems. When using custom developed ALE's
we are putting segment size is less.To decrease segment size is there any filtering at the sender side? To change segment size may be nedd to take help form SAP.
But if have filtering at any level from sender side need to confirm before consult SAP.

With my KLIPSCH - the FIDELITY and REAR VOLUME is signaficantly less than the front chan

I had always been using KLIPSCH PRO AUDIO speakers, and I must say - they are simply incredible. I just bought another complete set of KLIPSCH 2. for the rear channel of my AUDIGY LS card ---- but and the FIDELITY and VOLUME is significantly less than the front channel. Is it that card? Is it the synthesized rear volume because it's not true 4 channel? It's that CMSS Or should I just hook up the rear to the front channel with a simple y connector?I want to hook up my whole whose with satellite KLIPCSH and just a few subwoofers.And I want to do with that LS card and Y connectors.Am I correct here - or do I need something MORE?__________Joliett

Please tell me if I'm right...the rear speakers input from a stereo source is not true 4 channel. So the fidelity and volume is somewhat different than the front channel.
To get the same fidelity, I need to use Y-connectors to join the fron speakers to the rear.
Or is there a soundcard that is better for that kind of installation?

The specified path, file name, or both are too long. The fully qualified file name must be less than 260 characters, and the directory name must be less than 248 characters.

I've followed
this blog post, but it didn't work for me. I truly don't want to change my solution path as this is not acceptable. What else can I do?
I can't believe we still have limits on path length.

Note that the solution described in the blog post does not change your solution path. The _CSRUN_STATE_DIRECTORY environment variable sets the location of the temporary folders used by the compute emulator. Your solution does not need to move.
Though, you may still have problems related to path length inside your solution. To resolve these, I have sometimes used symbolic links (using MKLINK /D link target) or substed drives (SUBST X: path) to create shorter paths and then opened the
solution from there. If I recall correctly, with the first method, you need to be careful how you navigate to the solution in the Open Project dialog. I think that if you browsed to the path, it would still use the long path, so you need to paste the short
path into the file name text box to go directly to the location of your .sln file. I may be misremembering the details though.
BTW, I can't believe we still have limits on path length either.

A/R Down Payment not posting to A/R Invoice

We are having trouble with the a/r down payment process. We have open invoices even though we have already received payment.
For example, a customer mailed in a check to order items. We added the items on a sales order. We clicked on the Money Bag (Payment Means), and entered the check as a deposit on the order. SAP added a note that the order was linked to down payment. Through a batch process, we delivered the order and it became an a/r invoice. Because the A/R Invoice is created in a batch, we can't apply the down payment at the time of invoice creation. When we go back into the a/r invoice, the down payment money is not available to apply to the invoice. If we select the box with the triple dots next to total down payment to apply the down payment, it says u201CNo matching records found.u201D
When I click on the Business Partner, I can't see the down payment in their account balance to close it manually. What I do see is three entries. The first is a DT, debiting customer account for the a/r down payment. I donu2019t understand this entry, because this sounds like itu2019s u201Cchargingu201D the customer for their deposit. The second is an RD, crediting the customer account for the incoming payment. These two entries are reconciled against each other and closed. The third entry is an IN, for the open invoice.
How do I get the a/r down payment process to work and reconcile the incoming payment to the invoice?
Please help.
- David Daniels

Hi,
The Downpayment functionality is the advance payment recieved and the same needs to be assigned to the Invoice.
If possible, please test the compete scenario which you have and make the target document from the Sales Order to Delivery and from Delivery document to Invoice.
The Invoice automatically assigns the Downpayment created based on the Sales Order. (Check in 8.8 version).
If it is not helping then you can check the option of creating a Reserve Invoice to book the advance you get against the Sales Orders prepared.
Hope it helps.

How order got transmitted even if quantity is less than the minimum

Hi All,
We have an issue where an order has been transmitted for 23 cases where minimum is 25. This order came through even if this order is for that part of the region that should not be able to tranmit orders if under min..
Being a technical guy, I am not able to understand the issue itself.
Doubts :
1. How an order is supposed to be transmitted ?
2. What is this minimum below which an order should not be transmitted? Where this minimum value is defined ? Is it specific to customer or specific to area or specific to plant?
In which table or through T-Code I can check this minimum ....
Can you please guide how to explore the above....
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sanjeet

Hi Sanjeet
You can maintain "Minimum order quantity" in the Material master data.
Go to change mode of material master (MM02), enter your material number, click enter, select the "Sale org 1" tab and continue.
Now, in the "Sales org 1" tab , scrolled down and you will find a field "Minimum order quantity" as you required, save it.
Suppose, you have entered ,minimum order quantity as 10 pcs.
If you create an order for that item and if the quantity is below 10 pieces then system will give you "warning message". This is normal standard setting.
If you want that system should give "Error message" instead of "Warning message" , then go to transaction code "OVAH".
For combination "V4" and "082", change the sytem message to "E" (normally you will find here W).
NOW, SYSTEM WILL GIVE YOU ERROR MESSAGE IF YOU ENTER , in the Sale order, order quantity which is less than the minimum order quantity as specified in the material master data.

Messages in Xi is less than the messages in R/3 server after processing.

Hi Experts
I have a scenario file - Idoc.
XI picks up the file from FTP process it and sends to the R/3 server.
Now I have a problem is when I check the Data in XI using IDX5 or SXMB_MONI the no of messages in xi is less than the messages in R/3 server.
I am checking the data of the last day like 8th May from 00:00:00 to 23:59:59 in both the cases.
In R/3 I check using BD87 t code.
Thanx

Hi Divyesh
Thanks for your prompt reply.
Ya I am also doing exactly the same . But the problem is that I am checking for yesterday datas.
In idx5 I get total of 2625 messages for orders.
When I check the same on BD87 i get 2636 messages with status 53 & 1 message with status 51.
Difference is of 11.
Now the question in how is it possible that it is picking 2625 data from FTP and after processing its sending 2637 data on R/3 server.
Thanx

Disable Booking if Reservable Quantity is less than the Ordered Quantity

Hi Everyone,
How can we disable booking of sales order if the quantity reservable for an item is less than the quantity ordered in the sales order?

You need to Modify WorkFlow . You can do something like this.
1) Add a custom node between Book-Eligible and Book Node
2) Write your logic Inside the proc, which will get called from newly created custom node.

Regarding Tds at the time of down payment

Hi All,
At the time of down payment we are deducting the TDS for the vendor,
and at the time of invoice we are deducting TDS only to the extent of the balance amount outstanding (invoice amt - downpayment amt).
After this we are clearing the downpayment made to the invoice raised with trax. F-54.
when we are making outgoing payment to the vendor, the TDS amount which is deducted at the time of Down payment is also being debited (here the down payment amount is fully credited and the TDS amount at the time of downpayment is getting debited).
Any how the amount is correct but there will be a open item created in the TDS account and at the time of making payment to the bank for TDS this will come as a open item (j1inchln).
This will create unnecessary balance in the GL accounts.
Please Advice what to be done.
Regards

payment related all tax types deselect the radio button of central invoice prop. and select No central inv. under central invoice tab

Vendor service tax at the time of down payment

Hi sap Guru's
Service Tax payable on Vendor Advances at the time of down payment.
Requirement: New tax code X5 need to create with CST@5% on 80% of Bill value and service Tax @12.36% on 70% of Bill value. While calculating the CST amount, system should take the base value by excluding the service tax amount.
I had created the requirement and at the time of posting in F-43
The service tax calculating.
But when i am posting in F-48 the tax is not calculating. What is the reason
For down payment f-48 i need to make any configuration, or need to maintain anywhere the tax code x5
Please advice me why at the time of down payment F-48 the tax is not picking.
Thanks & Regards,
Ramesh

Thanks you very much for your reply sudhir,
If i select ,"Posting without tax allowed" check box why the system is not going to calculate the tax
And in recon account should i maintain G067. or any else.
Thanks,
Ramesh
