Dear Vijay Kumar,

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 payments' and `down payment requests' 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)

I hope, it will solve your problem,

Reward points, if it helpful

Regards,

Reddy.

Hi,

The following units describe the individual steps in the down payment processing process.

The following different steps in down payment processing are looked at:

Down Payment Agreements in the Sales Order

Down Payment Request

Payments made

Milestone billing with down payment clearing

Final billing with down payment clearing

Process flow

You create the down payment request as a special billing document in SD (Sales and Distribution). You can either carry this out using the billing index (transaction VF04) or specifically for a sales order with down payment agreements (transaction VF01). In the standard system the billing type FAZ is set as the down payment requirement using billing category P.

In the standard system the billing type FAS is available for canceling a

down payment requirement.

When transfering into FI (financial accounting) a down payment requirement is created as a noted item in the u2018down payment requirementu2019 account in financial accounting. The account u2018down payment requirementu2019 has no effect on the balance sheet or the profit and loss account.

You can see the created down payment requests in the document flow for the sales order.

You can print out the down payment requirement and send it. To print out you do not need an extra printing program or form. You just use RVADIN01 which is set up for billing documents in the standard system with the form RVINVOICE01. The following information is also given for down payment requests:

u2018Down payment request appears in the billing header.

The total is labeled as u2018payment to be madeu2019.

The billing value contains the text u2018Amount to be paidu2019
