The Down Payment Process Steps

How does the down payment process work in SAP? 

---

I will try to give you a very good explanation how down payments work. 

Down Payment recieved from a customer. 

Tcode F-29 :

You post the customer down payment. You can see that the indicator for downpayment A is assigned. 

You can also see the report at FBL5N which is line item display for customers. You will have to tick the special G.L indicator A for noted items to view down payments recieved from customers 

Tcode FB70 :

You make the customer invoice in FB70, remember that you make the invoice for the total item and not minus the down payment amount for the customer. For example if you have posted a down payment for 500$ in F-29 and the invoice amount is 1000, you will post 1000 and not 500 as the customer invoice. 

Tcode F-22 :

You transfer from special G.L as it is a downpayment to normal item as it is no more a current liability for the company. 

Tcode F-39 :

You give the invoice reference number and process the down payment and double click on transfer posting. You can see the balane A has been nullified. 

Tcode F-28 :

Finally when you recieve the payment from the customer you clear the open items for the customer.
