Value Type 54 reduction

Question

Hello,
I'm running into an issue with advance payments. I can't seem to get a reduction on the value type 54 posting in funds management when we clear. Our process is as follows:
1. Create sales order
2. Customer must pay for material before picking up, so we post an F-29 advance payment when payment is received
3. Delivery is created. We post goods issue when customer removes material.
4. Billing document is created against delivery.
5. Post F-32 to clear the billing document against the advance payment.
The problem is that the only value type postings we ever see tied to the advance payment are the 61 postings for the advance. Once the clearing document posts, we should see a 54 reduction as well as a 57 original amount. We get the 54 original amount when we post the billing document.
Can anyone tell me what configuration I'm missing that should cause the 54 reduction to post?
Thanks,
April

Answer 1

Here is what I am expecting to see, once all of the documents have posted:
Billing document:
Amt Type     Value Type
0100     54
Advance payment (F-29):
Amt Type     Value Type
0100     61
0100     57
0200     54
Clearing document (F-32):
Amt Type     Value Type
0100     61
This is if all amounts match (i.e. amount of advance payment is same as on billing document). This will not always be the case. If the billing amount is different than the advance, due to changes in material quantity, then there will be additional entries for 61 on both the advance payment and the clearing document to account for the difference.
What I am currently seeing is this:
Billing document:
Amt Type     Value Type
0100     54
Advance payment (F-29):
Amt Type     Value Type
0100     61
Clearing document (F-32):
Amt Type     Value Type
0100     61
I'm not sure which of the update profiles is coming into play here.
Thanks,
April
