Cash Allocation: 1 invoice against multiple receipts

Former Member
0 Kudos

Hello Guys - Need your expertise on customer invoices.

Scenario:

We sold our product but the customer will pay us monthly via direct debit.

We will invoice the customer once at the start of the contract

Then monthly, the customer will pay via direct debit.  Meaning, we will be instructing our bank to automatically get funds from our customer's bank account.

Issue:

On a monthly basis, every time we collect the funds, is there a way for SAP to automatically do cash application against the invoice we raised at the start of the contract?  Cash application is also called cash allocation which is the process of clearing or offsetting the customer invoice against the cash receipts.

Kindly share your thoughts how this can be accomplished.  I'm thinking whether it can be accomplished via changing how we invoice or doing changes such that SAP is wise enough to do the cash allocation. 

Many thanks,

Leo

Hi,

Let me clear the process first.

1. You selling the customer once the contract started.

2. Customer will pay through direct debit (means Bank so this not in terms of Cash collection

3. Once customer direct debit to your bank

      Option as Bank Recon

      1.Manually & 2. Automatic Bank Clearing

4. I would recommend you to make Sale Order no in "Reference Field" Collection F-28 (from          Customer)

5. Where as Billing document also connect to Sale Order no. in "Reference Field"

6. When You do clearing with J3RCALD- Automatic Clearing Receivables w.r.f to Invoice No matching

Please let me know if its helpful.

Hi Leo,

How are you?

For this scenario, i would like to suggest that,

create installment terms of payment master data for incoming funds and assign this to customer master data.as per this terms of payment funds will be received monthly basis (as per your contract) and you need to perform Manual Clearing Accounts Receivable through F-32 Transaction monthly.then we will get the report bill wise monthly.

I think it may help you.

let me know if any clarification is required.

Thanks
