Transaction Category 

Use

If you create a transaction in the down payment chain, you assign a transaction category to this transaction.

The transaction category controls the following:

·        Which postings can be made within the transaction

·        Which transaction categories are permitted for subsequent transactions

Features

The following describes the different transaction categories:

·         Advance payment

If you enter a partial invoice as an invoice, you can select this transaction category just once and only at the beginning of a down payment chain.

If you enter a partial invoice as a down payment request, you cannot post an advance payment.

In Customizing for Debit-Side and Credit-Side Down Payment Chains, you can define whether to post partial invoices as down payment requests or as invoices in the system for each chain type.

·         Invoice or  Down payment request

Partial invoices can either be created as invoices (affecting net income) or as down payment requests (affecting payment).

As long as you have not created a final invoice, you can select this transaction category up to 999 times in order to create a transaction.
