Installment Payment Terms and SKTO link

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

I have defined a installment payment term in OBB8 and OBB9. When I use this new term on a sales order the cash discount (SKTO) is getting calculated as Zero for a customer. If I change the payment terms value on the sales order to something else the SKTO value is greater than Zero.

Where is the link between SKTO and payment terms? My SD consultant is off and I need to do this for an emergency business requirement. I appreciate your inputs on this.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

The link is provided in the condition type (T.code V/06). The condition category is maintained as E- Cash discount in standard SAP. When condition category E is maintained, the system access table T052, where it fetches value for discount.

The other factor influencing cash disount is the check box for cash discount in the material master -> sales:sales org1 view. This is verified by the routine (#9) in the pricing procedure.

Thanks for your reply Siva Ram. I checked the settings and they are maintained as you said.

Table T052 and T052S has the entries of installment payment terms. Here is my issue.

Customer should get 1% discount on 1/3 of invoice in 30 days and 1% of discount on 1/3 of invoice amount in 60 days and 1% of discount on the remaining 1/3 of invoice amount in 90 days.

In this case can SKTO find out the total discount at the time saving the order? Please shed some light on this.

Thanks

Hi,

SKTO works only when the customer makes payment. During sales order creation, the system does not know when the customer makes the payment. This condition type is statistical and not passed to accounting (you dont see the accounting keys assigned to it in the pricing procedure) to CO-PA.

During invoice posting into accounting, the SKTO will apply relevant discount and calculates the net payments. Based on the customer payment days, the sytsem automatically applies the relevant discount.

Thanks for quick reply Siva Ram. When I created a sales order and all the way to billing document, I don't see any discounts on the FI billing document. It divided the invoice amount into 3 installments. Say $300 invoice amount into 3 installements each with $100. If I create a sales order with a different payment terms say 1% Net 30 then I see SKTO has 1% cash discount on the sales order and the discount amount is posting to discount accural account on the FI billing document. For installment payment terms can we expect the same like 1% Net 30 discounts on SKTO? Is there any setting we have to do on the SKTO config?

Thanks for your time.
