Payment Plan Data from Networks 
Payment Plan Data from Networks
Use
You can use this function to obtain a detailed view of the planned payments out from the network. The distribution of the data over time is taken from the network quantity structure or the invoicing plan for the activity/non-stock material component.
Prerequisites
Payment data from the network is only recorded if you run the program for the asynchronous network costing.
To access the network costing, choose Logistics or Accounting ® Project System ® Financials ® Planning ® Network Costing.
Payment data is not calculated in the network costing conducted within network maintenance.
See
Asynchronous Network Costing.Payment data is only calculated for activity-assigned networks.
For line items to be written to the payment data, you must first have assigned commercial transaction FIPA to a number range in the Project System IMG.
Features
The system determines the payments going out from the network as follows:
Planned payments for externally processed activities and non-stock material components are updated from the quantity structure for the activity/component. Posting takes place as of the latest finish date for the externally processed activity. The data is recorded with due account being paid to the supplier’s terms of payment.
Non-stock material components for the valuated project stock are written to the activity as of the requirement date. The update is under the commitment item which the system derives from the cost element for the component.
In the case of non-stock material components for the valuated project stock, the system records the payment plan data in the component as of the requirement date for the component as given in the activity.
You can maintain invoicing plans for externally processed activities, general costs activities, and non-stock material components. If you do, the planned outgoing payments are recorded as of the dates in the invoicing plan. The process takes account of down payments and terms of payments from the invoicing plan.
The payment data is recorded under value type 62. Down payments are recorded under value type 6A.
The commitment item is determined from the cost element for the activity/component.
Example
Total of payments: 10,000
Term of payment: 14 days, no discount
You have stored the following dates in the invoicing plan for an activity:
