Vendor Down Payment Clearing: F-54 or F-44

Hi
I have made a down payment (with Spl. GL indicator) to a vendor, using F-48. Then I book an invoice using FB60. I kept the two amounts same and ignored WT to keep things simple.
Now i want to clear the down payment against the invoice. I use F-54. The clearing transaction is getting posted. However, the Invoice is lying open (credit entry) along with the Clearing document (debit entry). On the other hand the down payment document (debit) is getting cleared with the Clearing document (credit entry). This means I have two open line items and two cleared line items. I can clear the two open items again using F-44.
I have two questions:
1. What is the use of F-54 here since I have to use F-44 eventually?
2. While doing F-54, Posting Key for the debit line item is 26 : Payment Difference. This is could not understand.
Can anyone please help me out on this?
Thanks in advance
Aninda

Dear Aninda ,
I will explain you with following example.
Recon account(Vendor)---3000000
Advance to Vendor----
4005000
Exp a/c----
7575100
Bank a/c----
5000100
1. Advance to Vendor (spl gl -A)(F-48)
Vendor a/c    (SPL-A)( GL- 4005000)        DR   1000
                  T0 Bank a/c (GL-5000100)                  1000
2. Invoice posting
Expenditure a/c ( GL-7575100) Dr      1000
     To Vendor Account(GL-3000000)     1000
3. Clear Vendor Down Payment (F-54)
Vendor a/c (GL-3000000) DR                1000 (Posting key-26)
     To Vendor a/c (SPL-A)( GL- 4005000)          1000
It means Credited spl GL-A has converted from advance to Normal open item. Amount has been transferred from Advance to Vendor GL to Normal Recon account.By this way Advance account shows Nil Balance with debit(F-48) and Credit (F-54)
The remaining 2 line items i.e., Credit (F-43) and Debit (F-54) shows as open items. In the next step we need to knock off those line items by manual clearing or automatic clearing.
4. Normal Clearing (F-44)
It will be posted without line items.
I hope i am able to help you out to understand process

Vendor Down Payment Clearing F-54

Hi,
I am clearing Vendor Down Payment using BDC for T-code F-54. I have Invoice no and Down Payment Document No, which needs to be clear against that Invoice.
But, how to determine the position of that DP Document number in the next screen when i am using BDC? T-Code F-54 selects Down Payment Docs from table BSIK. So, in which sequence DP Document will be displayed in table control in the next screen? (e.g. {based on document no, Posting date} =>(ASC/DSC)).
e.g: Invoice no: 7100000001 DP document: 5240000004
after entering Header data on F-54 you will get below data,
DP Document:
1.       5240000001
2.       5240000004
3.       6600000003
4.       6600000004
So, how to determine my DP Document is @Position no: 2.??
Thanks in advance.

Nilesh,
BDC is unable to select document in sort postition. This is a manual input and SHDB recording can't choose DP documents like that.
I would recommend you clear downpayment by F-51 or change document FB03 for invoice reference field. It's same effect of F-54 however depends field status of of your installation screen.

Vendor down payment clearing without VAT posting.

Hello SAP Gurus,
I have following issue:
Currently our Vendor down payments produce VAT postings when clearing with final invoice, which is correct.
But we have some old vendor down payments which does not include VAT and needs to be cleared without any impact to VAT postings.
User is using F-44 transaction and can not define any tax code for postings, system calculates it automatically.
It is not possible to make VAT posting happen and then make reversal postings fot VAT accounts as well.I tried to check flag 'Posting without tax allowed' and uncheck 'Post automatically only' in account master data. And then make manual posting using that account via FB01 but system still requires tax code to be entered because Tax category in account master data is set to '<' I'nput Tax Account'. It is impossible to change Tax category let's say to ' * ' because account have balances on it.
Could anyone advice how can I clear these downpayments without VAT posting?
Thank you,

I have tried to enter 0% input tax code, but still I'm not able to post document because of error msg:
Tax entry not possible in this item
Message no. FF724
Diagnosis
You can not enter a tax amount in this item since, due to the posting amount entered and the tax code, a total tax amount of zero has been calculated.
This could either be due to the fact that the tax code has been defined with a value of 0%, or because the posting amount entered (that is, the tax base) is too small.
Example:
With a tax rate of 15%, a tax amount greater than zero will only be achieved with a base amount greater than 0.04. With values of 0.03 and less, it is therefore not possible to enter a tax amount.
Procedure
Only enter tax amounts in conjunction with tax codes for which a percentage rate not equal to zero has been defined. Make sure that in documents with several G/L account items you enter the total tax amount in an item with a sufficiently high posting amount.

Withholding Tax Calculation Error for Vendor Down Payment Clearing:Oct '09

Hi,
We are trying to incorporate the new Withholding Tax Structure w.e.f. 01-Oct-09.
There were 3 scenarios possible:
a. Invoice = Down Payment
b. Invoice < Down Payment
c. Invoice > Down Payment
While 1 & 2 were taken care of effectively, the third scenario did not work as expected. The scenario is as follows:
1. Down Payment (Date : 30/09/09)
Amt : Rs. 40000/-;
Withholding Tax @ 15% : Rs. 6000/- (40000 * 15%)
Surcharge @ 10% : Rs. 600/- (6000 * 10%)
Edu Cess @ 2% : Rs. 132 (Rs. 6600*2%)
Higher Edu Cess @ 1% : Rs. 66 (Rs. 6600*2%)
2. Invoice (Date : 02/09/09) - As per new TDS Rates
Amt : Rs. 50000/-
Withholding Tax @ 10% : Rs. 5000/- (50000 * 10%)
Surcharge : NIL
Edu Cess : NIL
Higher Edu Cess : NIL
3. DPC (Date : 02/09/09) - Reversal of TDS calculated in Down Payment (Step 1) above.
Issue:
While making J1INCHLN, amount is adjusted as Rs. -1000/- (hence zero) not payable.
Also, the Surcharge, Edu Cess & Higher Edu Cess are also getting reversed in DPC.
As suggested by SAP Note No. 1372734 - Handling of downpayment clearing scenarios after budget '09, the scenario does not seem to work.
Actual payable should be worked out as under:
Invoice : Rs. 50,000/-
DP : Rs. 40,000/-
Bal : Rs. 10,000/-
TDS @ 10% : Rs. 1,000/-
All TDS Challans, Certificates & Returns must reflect Rs. 1000/- in the Challan.
Require assistance.
Regards,
Kapil Tilwani

Hi Kapil,
The following needs to be taken care of -
The message controls settings as the note suggests must be set as W.
When entering the details the logic is Vendor Debit amount is Tax amount + 1
The Vendor credit line, the tax code has to be assigned with the advance amount (amount for which the challan has been created) as the tax base amount and the tax amount will be the extra liability that needs to be created.
In your example -
The tax amount will be - 2000 ( the debit at the time of downpayment clearing should have been 4000 instead of 6000)
Tax base amount - 40000 (Challan for this amount has already been made at the time of downpayment made)
The vendor Debit - 2001 (2000 + 1)
The vendor credit - 1
Note - Tax amount and base amount has to be made manually in the withholding Tax tab for the credit entry.
Please revert for any clarification.
Thanks and Regards,
Anit

Withholding tax in vendor down payments

Hi Friends,
While testing a scenario of withholding tax and vendor down payment
When Vendor down payment recorded with WHT;
For down payment document Vendor line item report (FBL1N) shows withholding tax amount in withholding tax amount column, withholding tax report S_P00_07000134 is showing the down payment document with correct tax amount.
When the above Vendor down payment cleared;
For the cleared document Vendor line item report shows zero in withholding tax amount column, and the withholding tax report S_P00_07000134 is also showing neither the cleared document nor the down payment document.
If the cleared down payment is reversed;
Vendor line item report shows withholding tax amount in withholding tax amount column, withholding tax report S_P00_07000134 is showing the down payment document but with zero tax amount.
Also the WHT amount in vendor line item report in column withholding tax is being displayed without a minus(-) sign indicating a debit amount, but this amount is in fact not a debit amount, when this column is sum up it gives incorrect total.
Please share your experience on such scenario.
Regards,

Hi MAURIZIO,
Thanks for refering the SAP note, but this note speaks of inconsistency of displaying WHT info with lot of withholding tax information, this note is applicable upto Release 470. We are on ECC 6.

TDS is not getting reversed in T.Code: F-54 -Clear Vendor down payment

Hi,
Please help on the below issue:-
1. We passed one entry relating to down payment for fixed asset. We deducted TDS also (50% down payment).
2. We passed MIRO also. There we deducted TDS on full value of invoice amount.
3. While making T.Code: F-54-clear vendor down payment, TDS is not getting reversed.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards
Srinivas

Hi,
Please check whether the Challan has been done for both downpayment & invoice before downpayment clearing was done.may be That is why the system doesn't consider reversal of wht at the time of downpayment clearing as tax has already been remitted.Please refer with_item table. The int challan number & dateare for the downpaynment & for the invoice.
Hope this helps.

Clear Vendor Down Payment F-54, Number range

Hi Experts
I tried to clear the vendor down payment using the T-Code; F-54, It is displaying a error message as "Number Range 17 is Missing for the year 2010"
Message no. F5150
Diagnosis
The document type you specified has been allocated to a number range in fiscal year "2010" that has not been created.
- Should we need to create a New Number range for this document type.
- Is this a New requirement in ECC 6.0?
- Is this linked to the New GL feature?
Please share your views.
With Regards
Siva

Hi,
The document type you are using is referring to number range maintained with the id 17. You need to go to FBN1 transaction code and maintain a number range for id 17 for the year 2010.
Normally the accounting document number ranges are maintained year specific so that every new fiscal year will restart at 1 and not continue from last year.
As corrected by Ramnuja, you need to maintain number ranges for entry view and general ledger view (new GL feature).
For you the number range 17 has not been maintianed for 2010 and you need to maintain it.
hope this helps.
thanks and regards,

Down Payment Clearing pushbutton in MIRO (SAP ECC6 EP4)

Dear Experts,
As i am trying to do the same process in my organisation to post the DP in PO at header or item level and after that following the ME2DP process for posting DP and then i do MIGO.
After GR as i do MIRO process and select the PO there is no DOWN PAYMENT Push button on header level on MIRO Screen.
I already re-started the Business Function "LOG_MMFI_P2P" after that also it is not showing the push button.
Please kindly help in this to get that DOWN PAYMENT clearing button?
Regards
Arun Rai

Hi,
I just re activated that module function and process this practise in the similar way SAP has guided in its library which i can tell you in the brief. I suppose that way will work for you.
Posting of Down Payment Clearings and Down Payments in Purchase order
1. Create a purchase order with one or more items. To do this, on the SAP Easy Access screen choose Logistics -> Materials Management -> Purchasing -> Purchase Order -> Create ->Vendor/Supplying Plant Known (ME21N).
a) In the item details, choose the Invoice tab page. In the Down Payment Category field, choose the Mandatory Down Payment or Voluntary Down Payment setting.
Confirm your entry.
b) Enter an amount in the Down Payment Amount field, or a percentage in the Down Payment % field.
c) Enter a due date in the DP Date field.
d) Save your entries.
2. On the SAP Easy Access screen choose Logistics -> Materials Management -> Purchasing -> Purchase Order -> Reporting ->Down-Payment Monitoring for PO.
3. In the Purch.Doc. field, enter the purchase order number of the purchase order you just created, and enter the appropriate due date interval.
Choose Execute.
4. Select the purchase order you created in the list and choose Create Down Payment Request.
The Down Payment Based on Purchase Orders screen appears.
5. In the group box Execution, choose either Down Payment or Down Payment Request and then choose Continue.
Depending, either the Down Payment Request screen or the Down Payment screen appears.
6. Change the proposed amount to be paid in the Down Payment Amount field and choose Continue.
7. on the subsequent screens (similar to F-47 / F-48), enter the required data and post the document.
Posting of Down Payment Clearings in Logistics Invoice Verification
Preparation for this process:
1. Create a purchase order with one or more items. To do this, on the SAP Easy Access screen choose Logistics -> Materials Management -> Purchasing -> Purchase Order -> Create -> Vendor/Supplying Plant Known (ME21N).
2. Use the Financial Accounting transactions (such as F-48) to create down payments for this purchase order.
3. Post a goods receipt with reference to the purchase order you created. To do this, on the SAP Easy Access screen choose Logistics -> Materials Management -> Inventory Management -> Goods Movement -> Goods Movement (MIGO).
Step to follow for Execution
1. Post an invoice with reference to the purchase order you created. To do this, on the SAP Easy Access screen choose Logistics --> Materials Management --> Logistics Invoice Verification --> Document Entry --> Enter Invoice (MIRO).
2. Check the invoice items and correct them if necessary.
3. Choose the Down Payment Clearing pushbutton.
4. In the Amount Entered column, enter all the amounts you want to use to clear the displayed down payments.
Save your entries.
5. Post the invoice.
6. Display the invoice document. To do this, on the SAP Easy Access screen choose Logistics --> Materials Management --> Logistics Invoice Verification --> Further Processing --> Display Invoice Document (MIR4).
i Think the way all the process mention here will help to process your requirement becuase this worked for me and i follow the same way. One think which i like to share with you is i assigned the advance payment at document header level.

Arun

How to handle vendor down payments on invoice payment?

Hi,
The Vendor down payments are required to be manually cleared before payment against the Invoice to the Vendor. There is great amont of risk involved if manual clearing of down payments is not done. The invoices are likely to be paid fully in spite of down payment? Has anybody done any kind of development in this area? Can you share your experiences in this regard?
Thanks and regards,
Sanjay

Hi,
If you are making payments to vendor using F110, undjusted downpayments are included at the time of payment. If you are doing payments through F-53 or F-58, the user can give Special GL indicator to display and slect unadjusted downpayments.
Thanks and Rgards,

Error: Not possible to post down payment clearing.There are no down payment

Hi expert,
I am running a settlement for an internal order and encounter the following error message.
"Not possible to post down payment clearing. There are no down payments."
Message no. AA571
When checked on the vendor, the invoice has been cleared in the same month before the settlement. Under the Internal order line items, there is still an unsettled amount of the invoice.
This internal order settles to an AUC asset. Previous month settlement was ok. Only problem with december.
The downpayment acct is currently zero.
Is there something wrong with the message table, or the posting of the vendor invoice ? Anything to do with the special GL indicator ?
Kindly advise what is the cause and the method to resolved this asap.
Thanks.
Angel.
