An A/P down payment request is a request by your vendor that a down payment be made at a certain time.

This document does not generate any accounting or inventory posting, so if you create an A/P down payment request based on a purchase order or a goods receipt PO, the base document is not closed. This lets you copy the same base document to a higher level purchasing document, such as an A/P invoice or a goods receipt PO.
