Down payment line item not generated in Invoice

[Former Member]

Dear Gurus,

I am using the standard down payment functionality as follows

Create contract will Billing plan

- Down payment 100% (500)

- Invoice year 1 50% (250)

- Closing Invoice 50% (250)

Customer pays Down payment 500

When I create the year 1 invoice, I expected 2 lines i.e.

10. Invoice 250

11. Down payment clearing 250

However the Down payment (DP) line is not created. Can you please help on this?. Why is no DP line generated?

I have followed all down payment configuration steps. Which configuration step could be missing??

Thanks for your help!

Regards,

Moses

Hi Moses,

is the SD down payment request (usually FAZ) released to accounting ?

Is the FI down payment request cleared by F-29 ?

Does the FI clearing document have BSEG-VBEL2, BSEG-POSN2 filled with contract number and item number ?

Best regards,

Ivano.

Hi Moses,

if those fields are empty, then it is the cause.

Then it should be checked with FI expert.

Maybe those fields are supprossed in the FI document by OB41 or OB14.

Hi Ivano,

I will check with an FI expert as you suggested but in both OB41 and OB14 I had already set the sales order as an optional field for the relevant posting keys (09, 19) and variants.

I have also noted that in the down payment request accounting document, the sales order and item are fillled whereas in the clearing document they are not filled.

Please if you have any other suggestion let me know.

Thanks,

Best regards,

Moses
