Automatic clearing customer account after Invoice save

[former_member477577]

Hi Experts,

My client want automatic customer payment once we save the invoice.

Std Practice: We create invoice n then in F-32 we clear customer payment.

Note: Customer received payment before making delivery.

I m thinking about enhancement on VF01 where once u save the invoice without error then automatic clear happen.

Please suggest if any other better solution.

Dear lakshmi,

I found below note which is specially for Hospitality management.Can we configure in normal S & D SAP R/3.

1. SAP Healthcare – Industry-Specific Components for Hospitals ® Patient Accounting ® Copayment/Down Payment ® Maintain Parameters for Down Payment Requests.

The IS-H: Deduct Down Payment From Invoice Business Add-In (ISH_DOP_DEDUCTION) enables to you control which down payments you want to deduct from an invoice.

For more information, see the BAdI documentation.

  In the Maintain Parameters for Down Payment Requests IMG activity, you can set a parameter to specify that down payments that are deducted from the invoiced amount are to be cleared automatically with the invoice

No I dont think the IMG path what you had indicated will work for normal down payment process.  Check this

If you prefer to go with down payment process, then I would recommend checking the below OSS notes;

Note 213852 - Analysis of down payment processing with FI

Note 213526 - Customizing of down payment processing SD/FI

Note 213444 - Advice note, down payment processing SD/FI

I also recommend to post your question in FI forum, to see any other alternatives.
