Parking payments and down payments in SAP

[former_member198650]

Dear Experts,

My client wants to park payments and down payments in SAP. I already told them there is no such functionality exist in SAP. But they are telling few of their customers who are using SAP, they are doing these type of practice. Hence I want to know Is it possible to do parking for payments also?

I am awaiting for your feed back.

Thanks

Hi Mukthar,

Unfortunately parking functionality is not available for payment in SAP, due to clearing nature. All clearing transactions don't have parking functionality, clearing can happen only for actual documents, so thats way Parking is not available.

Whatever Javed said that is right.

Based on actual postings only clearing transactions will happens.

We can park docs of Inv & Cr/Dr Notes.

Hi Mukthar,

I'm not sure your HR query, however if you want to use HR Employee org structure in the workflow, according to their potions in the hierarchy, yes, you can use it.

You can also implement the FI workflow without HR.

You can find following special GL transaction types in FBKP

1. Down payment/Down paymnet request

2. BOE/BR

3. Others

If the indicator is selected for others, then you can park that transaction otherwise no.

Dear Praveen,

that it is not possible to park any FI documents that contain a line item for down payments or Bill of Exchange as it is  not developed in standard SAP.

Therefore, as soon as you enter a special g/l indicator for downpayments or bill of exchanges an error message will be issued.

Please, have a look at the SAP Library, Document Parking:

"You can park data relating to customer, vendor, G/L and asset accounts.
There is an additional fast entry function for G/L accounts. For assets, you can only enter acquisitions. In addition, you can park tax information and special G/L indicators , although you cannot park special G/L indicators for bills of exchange and down payments."

As per standard R/3, the standard functionality is as follows:

You can park data relating to customer, vendor, G/L and asset accounts.

There is an additional fast entry function for G/L accounts. For assets, you can only enter acquisitions; this transaction type is set automatically by the system. Both tax information and special sales can be parked.

However, no special sales resulting from bills of exchange or down payments can be parked.

The above documentation can be found via R/3 Library > AC - Financials > Accounts > FI - Financial Accounting > Accounts Receivables > FI Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable > Document Parking > Parking documents : Overview > What data can you park?

Then summarizing, special G/L indicators  'down payment' and 'bill of exchange' are not supported in SAP-Standard. It's only possible to post preliminary documents for special general ledger indicator set up with 'Others'.

Best regards,
