Hi,

If there is down payment request on your project please post the down payment request by tcode F-29. Once the full payment is received please clear the down payment by tcode F-39.

Dear AK,

Thanks for advice.

However when i change item category group as 0005 for the material, its not possible to use that material for standard business process (i mean sales order without down payment processing) How we can solve this, its not possible everytime to change item category group.

Also where i can mention in the sales order that 30% payment we are receiving at order creation and rest of the amount during shipment creation. I am not getting any value for condition type AZWR in the sales order. what is its use?

I would like to give full point if it really helpful.

Thanks

Hi Shiv Patil,

The following Customizing settings have to be made for down payment processing:

Settings for the billing plan - To activate the billing plan function, maintain the materials, for which you wish to process down payments, with item category group 0005 (milestone billing). This gives the item type TAO via item type determination. The item type TAO calls up the billing plan function.

You need to implement the following activities in the billing plan for down payments:

Maintain deadline category - This determines the billing rule (percentage or value down payment) for the down payment request. The system assigns billing type FAZ (payment request) defined in the standard system with billing category P. (For the billing type FAZ there is the cancellation billing document type FAS in the standard system).

Maintain the deadline proposal - Use the down payments that are due for the proposed deadlines.

Maintaining a Pricing Procedure with the Condition Type AZWR:

In the standard system the condition type AZWR is delivered for the down payment value already provided but which has not yet been calculated. You must include this condition type in the relevant pricing procedure before output tax.

Enter condition 2 (item with pricing) and the calculation formula 48 (down payment clearing value must not be bigger than the item value) for the condition type AZWR.

Before the condition AZWR you can create a subtotal with the base value calculation formula 2 (net value). If the condition AZWR is changed manually, you can get information on the original system proposal from the subtotal.

Maintain the printing indicator - The pricing procedure can not be marked as a transaction-specific pricing procedure (field Spec.proc.) The condition type AZWR has the calculation type B (fixed amount) and the condition category E (down payment request / clearing).

Maintaining the Billing Document - In the standard system there is the billing type FAZ (down payment request) and the billing type FAS for canceling . The down payment is controlled using the billing category P of the billing type. A billing type becomes a down payment request when the billing category P is assigned. You have to maintain blocking reason 02 (complete confirmation missing) for the billing documents and assign it to billing type FAZ.

Copying control - Copying requirement 20 must be entered in copying control at item level for the down payment request. In the standard system the order type TA for copying control is set up according to the billing type FAZ for the item category TAO.

Copying requirement 23 must be entered in copying control at item level for down payment clearing. In the standard system the order type TA for copying control is set up according to the billing type F2 for the item category TAO.

Financial Accounting settings - A prerequisite for down payment processing is that the account is assigned to the underlying sales document. To do this, change the field status settings in Customizing as follows:

Set reconciliation accounts (transaction OBXR) - For the `received down paymentsu2019 and `down payment requestsu2019 from

the G/L accounts you have selected, you should assign the field status definition G031.

Maintain accounting configuration (transaction OBXB) - For the down payments (posting key ANZ in the standard system) and the output tax clearing (posting key MVA in the standard system), you must maintain the posting key.

You must also carry out a G/L account number assignment for the tax account.

Maintain the posting key (transaction OB41) - For posting key 19, set the sales order as an optional field !!!

Maintain the field status definition (transaction OB14) - For field status variant 0001, field status group G031, set the

sales order as an optional field !!!

Assign the company code to the field status variants (transaction OBC5)

Please do reward points if this is useful as it encourages the SDners to help you fast and in a clear way

Hi,

This shoudl be possible.

Downpayments process is as follows.

During sales order creation, a part of the amount is paid as downpayment.

Simulataneously a downpayment is created in FI through Special GL transactions way. This amount willl be posted as future revenue or so referencing the sales order.

This kind of payment happens many times and gets posted in teh special GL transactions referencing this sales order.

You have to know the database tables for this payment.

In Shipping, you have to find out the right user exit during PGI/Shipment and enable the code there, that the paymetn should be 70% in this GL ledger of the sales order value.

Then it shoudl be possible.

Thanks,

Hi Utpal,

Thanks for advice.

Do you mean to say that first we need to create SALES ORDER then with reference to sales order create PAYMENT REQUEST (FD-28) and then PGI , BILLING?

Then where you would specify regarding down payment. suppose I need to collect 30% payment during sales order & remaining 70% would be collected before shipment.

Where we are going to mention in the sales order?

Thanks
