Transfer Postings of Down Payment Clearings

Use

If a down payment is cleared by an invoice in Financial Accounting, a down payment clearing with value type 61 ( down payment) is updated online as an offsetting entry for down payment in Funds Management. The down payment is reduced in the corresponding account assignment.

In payment selection, the corresponding payment and reduction records are updated for the cleared invoice, and the document number and the fiscal year of the down payment clearing are used as the payment reference of the company code. A transfer payment of the down payment amount results from this - from the FM account assignment of the down payment to the FM account assignment of the invoice.

The records posted by payment selection are flagged with the transaction AZZA ( down payment clearing transfer posting ) if you use the enhanced function for payment selection and flagged with the transaction RFBU (G/L account posting) if you use original function for payment selection .

Note Note

If you belong to the customer group US Federal Administration and work with the update profile 000600 or 000601, note that down payment clearings are updated in accordance with a different logic. The down payment clearing is updated in Funds Management with one line instead of with three. One line has value type 61 (down payment) as an offsetting posting for down payment, a reduction record for the invoice and a payment record.

A transfer payment of the down payment amount results from this during payment selection. The posting is from the FM account assignment of the down payment to the FM account assignment of the invoice. Transfer postings lines are created from this transfer posting during payment selection which reverse the reduction record for the invoice and the payment record again. You can find an example of this under Transfer Postings of Down Payment Clearing Update Profile 000600/601 .

End of the note.

Example

The following is an example of the transfer posting of down payment clearings. Note that the examples apply to enhanced function for payment selection and original function for payment selection with one exception:

If you use original function for payment selection , the transfer posting is issued under the transaction RFBU (G/L account posting), not under AZZA (down payment clearing).
