100 % Advance Payment to vendor

[ankurch]

100% advance payment scenario :- Hi, Our business process requires some vendors to make 100% advance payment before delivery is made. How to configure this scenario. Can this be acheived using payment terms functionality itself or should down payment method is more effetive for this....

Hi,

Please create down payment request for this vendor through F-47.

In addition to it make a new Special G/L indicator for these cases in OBYR so that you can get only these vendors in FBL1N.

Hope, this solves your issue else free to revert.

But there is one more issue that we want to pay the vendor through credit card, so how can we maintain the liabilitiy in term of credit card along with vendor.problem in FI document.

Hi,

Indeed, use of the down payment functionality to pay 100% of the amount is the best option. I already used in the past for the same purpose:

1. Create down payment request for 100% of the amount and link it to your purchase order item
2. Run the payment program to generate the down payment
3. Execute down payment clearing after logistic invoice verification to compensate the invoice with the down payment.

Thanks you very much for your reply but in the third option that Execute down payment clearing after LIV, to compensate the invoice with down payment, how this can be taken care in sap.

[thomas_vanaken2]

Hi,

When you post the LIV, you will get a popup informing you that one or more down payments do exist for the vendor. Transaction F-54 "clear down payment" will allow you to realize the clearing or compensation between the down payment and the invoice.

Good luck

PS: Since release 604, it is apparently possible the execute the clearing directly in LIV transaction but I did not yet tried that.

Hi Ankur,

You can use down payment functionality to achieve the same.

Hi Ankur,

You can use transaction F-47 (Down payment request) and Then do the F-48 for down payments

Later you can do the GR/IR for the PO.

Better to create the Payment term for Advance payment (Pay immediately).

Thank you

Dear,

You can pay down payment with the help of special G/L indicator.Check transaction FBKP for customization of down payments per your company.
