The purpose of this page is to explain the concept of down payment in Logistics Invoice Verification.
Overview
This document states the business purpose of down payment in Logistics Invoice Verification and an example case of setting up and running one cycle.
What is Down Payment?
As the name indicates down payment is the initial upfront portion of the total amount due. This payment is made during the onset of the purchase of an expensive
good/service.
Business Function: LOG_MMFI_P2P - available with SAP Enhancement Package 4 for SAP ERP 6.0.
Down payment clearing
Down payments can be recorded in purchase orders and during Invoice Verification. The down payment clearing function clears the down payments that have not been
cleared in FI. The system posts a down payment clearing document along with an invoice document.
Down payment data can be recorded at both header level and item level. This data is copied to financial accounting as default values, and can also be changed their depending on the need.
Header level in the purchase order:
Item level in the purchase order:
Technical field names:
DPTYP: Down payment Indicator
DPAMT: Down Payment Amount
DPDAT: Down payment Due date
Tables on purchasing side: EKKO and EKPO.
Example of a complete down payment cycle
You can use the Business Add-In Enhancement for processing the purchase order (ME_PROCESS_PO_CUST) to define the purchase order value as of which down payments are mandatory.
2. Check the down payment monitor via transaction ME2DP. Observe the red indicator suggesting down payment does not exist. This turns to green when a down payment request or down payment is created:
We can create down payments through this monitor. The below path takes you to the transaction FPDP_CREATE:
System adopts the down payment amount and due date from the purchase order, but this can be modified if necessary:
4. Check the PO history. The down payment request gets updated in the PO history:
5. Create a down payment via ME2DP transaction:
7. Down payment clearing in MIRO transaction:
The DP clearing can be performed during the invoice verification process only when the message M8318 is activated to be issued in the system. This message can be controlled via the customer BAdI MRM_DOWNPAYMENT.
8. Choose the Down Payment Clearing button:
9. Popup shows the down payment document number against which settlement will take place:
11. When posting the invoice, down payment clearing document is posted as well.
12. Display the Invoice to see two accounting documents:
Restrictions
The DP clearing can only be performed during the invoice verification dialogue process.
The DP clearing can be performed only when the message M8318 is activated to be issued in the system. This message can be controlled via the customer BAdI
MRM_DOWNPAYMENT.
Only those Down Payments can be cleared that have the same company code and the same invoicing party as the invoice.
The DP clearing cannot be used together with the prepayment functionality. The DP clearing cannot be used together with TM reference.
The DP clearing cannot be used together with planned delivery costs. The DP clearing can be used together with install payment and amount split since note 1749187 (see restrictions in this note).
