Dear Sameer

The suggestion told by Mr Lakshmipathi has been followed by our organization.

But we are doing the same check at contracts through VA41.

Our client have bookings for some materials before the creation of contract.We first collect the amounts from customers as booking amounts with the custom Tcodes(this Tcode will update both material +Qty+amount+Season into a custom table-also this Custom Tcode will run the Standard Tcode F-21 and stores this accounting doc at special GLs assigned-later while creating contracts we made the same checks in Sales exits level MV45AFZZ)

you may suggest the same process to your client where-they can save the advance payment either 50% or 100% into a custom table-later having the checks at delivery exits level as suggested.

Hope this helps you.

As you would be aware, incoming payments can be recorded in two ways; viz. Down Payment which is from SD side and F-28 via FI side.  If at all for any reason, your client is not willing to go with SD route, then, via FI, it can be recorded.  The data are stored in BSEG table.

Now coming to validation before delivery creation, you have not explained how frequently, your client has this process.  Depending upon that, you can schedule an automatic background job with the help of USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_LIKP in program MV50AFZ1 where you need to validate the BSEG field to check whether the payment has received or not.  But when some standard process is made available by SAP, I wont recommend to go with customization.

Hi,

What is the expectation here if down payment is not accepted?
