Down Payments Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

Businesses require down payments from customers to ensure that the customers are committed and will follow through with the orders they place.

In SAP Business One, you can map this business practice by issuing an A/R down payment request or A/R down payment invoice to your customer, or by creating an A/P down payment request or A/P down payment invoice, if one of your vendors requires you to make a down payment before shipping the goods you ordered. After you receive payment from your customer or make the payment to your vendor, you can deduct the down payment amount from the final invoice.
