Define default cost elements for down payments
In this section you define the cost/revenue elements, under which down payments are updated as expenses in CO.
For down payments referring to a purchase order, the R/3 System uses the purchase order cost element. If there is no reference, the cost element in the (subsequent) invoice is not known. If this the case, you should define one cost element (category 01 = primary cost elements general) for credit-side down payments in each controlling area, or one revenue element (category 11 = revenue elements) for debit-side down payments.
When you assign down payment or purchase order costs, the the R/3 System updates the account assignment objects cost center, order, make-to-order production order, WBS element, and network.
