Former Member
0 Kudos

Hello SDN Experts,

I have requirement to allow customers to have their preferred due date/s (limited window for ability to move due date). I would like to know how this configurations can be done in the SAP? Do I need any development for this?

Thanks for your help.

Standard system behaviour allows you to arrive at a due date based on document date or posting date or entry date .

Else you can set a fixed date as a due date . In case if you want to change the due date based on some logic then in that case you will have to lookup for event 1330 for making the necessary changes .

Event 1330 has the export parameter FKKOP-FAEDN ( Due date for net payment ) which can be changed with some coding in the event .

Cheers ,

Dewang

Thanks Dewang.

While surfing internet I've found out that 'Payment terms' can be used to determine the due dates for customers whenever a financial posting is generated. In SAP there are two methods to determine payment due date - fixed due date and moving due date.

Fixed due date - the due date falls on a fixed day in each month.

Moving due date - the due date is calculated from a baseline date. The moving due date method means that the due date on the

consumption bill is u201Cbaselineu201D against the invoice date. The SAP calendar is used to determine the business days by excluding weekends and public holidays.

Whats your suggestion on this? Do you know how we can configure these payment terms for due dates?

Hi Nick,

You can configure the Payment Terms in the following SPRO path-

IMG->Financial Accounting-> Account Receivables and Accounts Payable->Business Tranactions->Outgoing Invoices\Credit memos->Maintain terms of Payments

Here you will be able to set the calculation for the baseline date as well as the default for baseline date.

Once you have configured the payment terms in here, you need to extend the payment terms for contract accounts receivable and payable in the following path-

IMG->Financial Accounting-> Contract Account Receivables and Accounts Payable->basic Functions-Posting and documents->Document->Maintain payment Terms.

In here, you get the option of assigning the SAP calendar to the payment terms.

Hope it helps....

Thanks,

Maintain the terms of payment in FI T Code OBB8 then assign those in FICA SM30 - TE052 , while assigning the payment terms of FI i.e accounts receivable and payable to FICA i.e contract accounts receivable and payable you have the option of selecting the Calander which is defined in SCAL - It is the factory calander where in you can define the number of days in a week for working and also the holiday calander has the room for holidays .

In TE052 you will have to set the option correct workdays - For Eg. Lets say as per calculation the due date falls on sunday .

If you set the indiactor 1 then it will fall on monday ( Next week )

If you set the indicator 2 then the due date will fall on saturday ( Same week ) - 1 day prior .

If you dont set the indicator system ignores the sunday concept.

Accordingly you can make the settings and can check the same .

Hello All,

The whole point got diverted by bringing Payment Terms & FI into equation.

However Conceptually Dewang has already answered the question by mentioning the Event and the coding for the requirement needed.

We have done this requirement for one of the clients and differently than the above mentioned solution as the whole approach to creating TR data is custom than standard.

If any more help is needed in this regard do let me know.

Hi,

Although we maintained the TE052 table we are not seeing the payment due date move up to the next working day in FBL5n. what i noticed is that our spro doesnt have contracts a/c recievable and payables. Do you think this might be causing this funtion to be inactive?

Thank You,

Arun

Arun:

TE052 is only valid for contract accounting, FI-CA.  If you dont have that in the IMG then it should not be useful.

bill.
