Posting down payment document through F-48 without down payment request

[former_member1193316]

Dear SDNers,

SAP transaction F-48 (vendor down payment) can post a payment document without even any Down Payment Request.

Is there some configuration SAP system to stop system to proceed without selecting DP Request.

Please let me know.

Regards,

Hi Venkat,

I think there is no other way than creating a validation or ABAP enhancement. Validation equation should be like 'If DP request field is blank don't continue'. But  the problem with validation is that it wont check whether the alphanumeric numbers entered in DP request field does belong to a real DP request or not! ABAP code enhancement will surely work out easily.

THanks

Venkat,

It is the standard behavior, if you want to post direct down payment you can use F-48 transaction code, but if you want to do the down payment through APP (F110), then you need to create the down payment request (F-47) , then against to to this down payment request, you need to execute F110, so its acts as a vendor invoice and payment will happen.

The design of F-48 is to do the down payment directly.

Dear Ravi,

Thanks for the quick response. Is there any way where system can prevent user to proceed without selecting request at F-48. either through variant config or other possible ways?
