Account determination for condition based down payments

[ISvir]

Hi experts,

please help me with down payment procedure, which I try to set according this link http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_06/helpdata/en/46/27dcd449fc14dce10000000a155369/frameset.htm

So we make SO with AZWA condtion

enter down payments in F-29 with reference to SO number, Item number and schedule line

Then Vl01n, GI

When I create billing doc. using VF01 I expect to see down-payments received for SO in AZWB condition, but AZWB is empty.

When I fill AZWB value manually it is not posted in accounting.

So, my questions are:

1) Any ideas why AZWB is empty? I use formula 49 for calculation. Can this error be caused by some wrong settings for item category of billing doc?

2) What settings should I make, for create postings in accounting, that described on help.sap.com? Should I assign special accounting key in accounting determination for AZWB condition?

Would be very grateful for answers,

BR, Ivan

In standard SAP condition type AZWR is Downpayment settlement.

In your case you are taking AZWA or AZWB.

- Why, why not AZWR?

- Why two different condition types in the same process?

With billing plan (e.g. milestone billing with downpayment) it is order related billing without delivery.

Explain your process.

Why do you have delivery?

What settings should I make, for create postings in accounting, t

For posting to a G/L account, the same process of account determination has to be followed.

Furthermore, the Account key for AZWR is ERL, same as that for PR00. Thus check the standard configuration settings for Account determination.

Also check in VF02, Environment > Account determination analysis > Revenue account, for identifying the cause of the issue.

Note: Take an existing billing document with billing type FAZ and compare the configuration settings of that billing document with your billing document.

SE16N, table VBRK, field billing type (FKART) = FAZ; get the billing document numbers

Put Billing document (VBELN) in VF03 and check / compare.

There are two standard way of making down payments (please refer to help - I''ve provided the link)

We don't want to use billing plan.

Have a posting active for the billing doc, till the time you get payment forf down payment reflecting in AWZA in billing doc.

In Transaction, F-29 please Special G/L ind as T - Down payment to get down payement in the system.

FYI, routine 49 is used for Formula for condition based down based down payments: Calculation of clearing amount and difference amount.

This conditions value will only reflect in billing doc, if you have down payment cleared amount from transaction F-29.

Further you might need to clear the payment for down payment in transaction F-39 - Clear Customer Down Payment provide invoice number in Invoice ref. with Line item & Fiscal year.

Thank you,

any ideas, why amount is not transfered to FI, after releasing it to accounting? I've tried in other system and postings were made, while all customising is more or less the same with the system, where only total amount was posted.

It's written in help.sap.com http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_06/helpdata/en/46/27dcd449fc14dce10000000a155369/frameset.htm

that f-29 should be posted with A indicator, why you insist on T?

Hi TW,

We are also experiecing the same issue. We are looking at the two standard SAP options in dealing with the downpayments.

A. Billing Plan

SO: 

                Line Item1 – Delivery Date: May1 – $250 

                Line Item2 – Delivery Date: June1 - $20 

                Line Item3 – Delivery date: July 1 - $30 

                Total: $300 

Scenario: We want two down payments provided before the SD billing document is created. 

1.       Down payment  30% of $300  before stocks are allocated to the SO. 

2.       Down payment 30% of $250 for Line Item1 before Goods issue 

3.       SD billing document created after Goods issue of Line item 1.  

Issue: When I create the billing document for  line item1, it shows $250. Technically, 60% for line item 1 has already been paid because of the down payments. 

Question:

1. Is there a way to show in the billing document  that only 40% of 250 is remaining to be paid? 

2. Is this the correct way to set the milestones for this kind of scenario?

B. Condition Based 

I also tried the condition based billing to represent the down payment. I followed the configuration from the posts, however I am not getting any AZWB value when I create the billing document. 

Question:

1.       How is the AZWB value populated? What setting is important for the AZWB to be calculated and displayed?

2. Please advise if there are any correction for AZWA, AZDI, AZWB that should be done in the pricing procedure.

Thanks you very much for your help!
