Dam good question Sankar,

See the standard SAP notes below

Prepayment Relevance (Vendor Master)

If this flag is set, logistics invoice documents for this vendor will be
prepaid.

The following settings are possible:


  • Prepayment not allowed (SPACE):

    This status prevents prepayment of invoices for this vendor.


  • Prepayment requested (A):

    All of this vendor's invoices are relevant for prepayment.


  • Prepayment desired after goods receipt (B).

    All of this vendor's invoices are relevant for prepayment. The prepayment is
    subject to the following prerequisites:



    • A goods receipt has occurred for an assigned purchase order
      item.



    • After the goods receipt, the invoice is processed again and
      saved.


  • Prepayment possible, but not planned (C).

    If this setting is selected, a vendor invoice will not be set to prepayment
    automatically, but prepayment can be triggered manually by changing the
    prepayment status in the header of the logistics invoice or automatically using
    a customer BAdI in the prepayment routine.

Dependencies

Note: Prepayment is not possible for one-time vendors.

Shankr,

Please go through the below thread.

Initially, the main clarification is 'Down payments are also known as prepayments"
