Downpayment Business process

[Former Member]

Hi,

Please explain steps involved in customer down payment from SD point of view.

1. Created milestone billing with down payment.

2. Created sales order with milestone billing.

3. Created down payment request with reference to sales order(doc type FAZ).

After this I could not understand how to proceed.

Step by step with tcode is appreciated.

Thanx in advance.

Anup.

HI

1) Configure Mile stone billing in SPRO>SD>billing-->billing plan. Say downpayment 50%, final settlement 50%.

2) Assign billing plan to your sales order type.

3) Created sales order with milestone billing. VA01

4) Created down payment request with reference to sales order(doc type FAZ).VF01

5) Create final invoice of remaining amount wrt same sales order. VF01.

6) FInal settlement with customer.

Hi,

For this downpayment invoice to work,your sales order must has billing plan type which is assigned either at the header level or at the line item level.

You are telling that you have the mile stone billing activated in your sales order.

Goto the T.Code "VA02".

Enter the order number.Goto item-->Billing plan if the billing plan type is assigned to your item category.

Take the first item.

Maintain the Date description as "0011".

Billing rule as "4" and billing type as your downpayment type.

Maintain the billing block for all other billing plan items.

Save.

Goto the T.Code "VF01" and create the downpayment invoice.

Goto the T.Code "F-28" and pay that amount.

Go back to the T.Code "VA02" and remove the billing block for all other billing plan items.

Create the final invoices.

Hi,

Thanx for the reply.

More ever I have a doubt, whether we have to clear the payments for down payment in F-28 or F-29?

And suppose, the total order is for 10,000 INR, in my billing plan (item level) the entries are coming as below:

date 1 Downpayment 10% 1,000.00

date 2 Project start 35% 3,500.00

date 3 Half comp 35% 3,500.00

date 4 Project End 30% 3,000.00

My doubt is: in business process, is the order value always excluding the down payment? and if yes then how the accounting entries will be done.

I hope I am clear.

It will be good if somebody explains the compelte flow of this scenario(including FI part) with transaction codes.

Thanx,

Anup
