Partial payment

If an invoice is paid in Financial Accounting through partial payments, reduction records for the invoice and payment records are generated (in the amounts paid) in Funds Management. If an invoice has a number or expense or revenue items with different FM account assignments, the procedures for Enhanced Function for Payment Selection and Original Function are different,

In the standard system Enhanced Function for Payment Selection uses the Supplementation Procedure and the Original Function uses the Splitting Procedure. If necessary, you can also activate this procedure for the e nhanced function for payment selection in Customizing of Funds Management .

  • Supplementation procedure (enhanced function)

The invoice quotas are reduced on the corresponding account assignments and the payments are built up with the supplementation procedure.

  • Splitting procedure (original function)

The partial payment of an invoice is updated in proportion with the respective invoice amounts in Funds Management with the splitting procedure.

Residual items

If a residual item is formed with the partial payment, the paid amount is updated with the e nhanced function for payment selection ; a reduction record occurs for the invoice and a payment record in the amount paid. With the Original function of the payment selection, a reduction record occurs for the invoice and a payment record in the amount of the invoice; a reduction record is also generated for the invoice and payment record in the amount of the residual item.

Overpayment

To guarantee the payment matching, the e nhanced function for the payment selection updates the payment residual items when an invoice is overpaid. The updated reduction and payment records refer to the invoice which the residual item was created for. The overpayment is posted either to the FM account assignment first determined according to the conversion procedure (supplementation procedure) or split over all FM account assignments of the invoice (splitting procedure). As soon as the payment residual item is cleared in Financial Accounting with a different invoice, the over payment is transferred to the corresponding invoice in the next payment selection in Funds Management.

If you do not use the payment matching, you can deactivate the update of overpayments with enhancement SAPLFMPA (component EXIT_SAPLFMPA_006) for the enhanced function for payment selection.

Prerequisites

If you want to use the splitting procedure for the payment selection enhanced function, you must set the Activate splitting procedure indicator in the IMG activity Define Settings for the Payment Transfer.
