Activities
Create Down Payment Request in the VSS Order
- You can create a down payment request from the VSS order by choosing Down Payment List. The system displays a dialog box, where you can display existing down payments, and create a new one. When you save your entries, the down payment request appears in the down payment list.
Note
Instead of from the VSS order, you can also create the down payment request from the SAP Easy Access screen under Accounting > Financial Accounting > Accounts Receivable > Document Entry > Down Payment > Request(F-37)
2. The system stores the down payment request as a noted item.
Note
You can call up a list of these items from the SAP Easy Access screen under Accounting > Financial Accounting > Accounts Receivable > Account > Display/Change Item (FBL5N).
3. The system displays the down payment request as an open item in the cash desk.
Create Down Payment in the Cash Desk
You handle payment of the down payment request in the Cash Desk (transaction /DBE/CASHDESK). Here you can display a list of the open items still to be paid. You can copy the down payment amount to the Total Amount field by double-clicking on the item. The system generates a billing document.
Post and Clear Down Payment
You can check that the down payment has been posted and cleared by displaying the clearing document in Display/Change Item (transaction FBL5N).
The system deducts the down payment amount from the invoice amount during settlement.
