Process
If required, create an A/R or A/P order, specifying the goods or services ordered.
Create an A/R or A/P down payment request for the relevant business partner. Link the created order (if it exists) or any other available base marketing document. The line details are copied from the order to the down payment request. You can modify the request by adding, changing, or deleting the appropriate lines. You can specify the down payment as a percentage or as a total amount in the DPM field.
NoteNo posting is made at this stage.
End of the note.Register a received or paid payment using incoming or outgoing payments in the Banking module. Locate the appropriate down payment request and choose the payment means.
When you register a payment on a down payment request, a journal entry is recorded in the business partner account that you defined in the second prerequisite above. If the down payment was paid in full, the down payment request is closed.
Russia: After this step, create a tax invoice for the payment of the down payment request. For more information, see A/P and A/R Tax Invoice - General Information.
If required, create a delivery/goods receipt PO to record the received goods. You can base these documents on the appropriate orders.
Create the regular (final) invoice. Before adding it, choose
(Browse) to open the Down Payments to Draw window and draw the required
down payments.The total amount of drawn down payments is displayed in the Total Down Payment field of the invoice. This amount is reduced from the invoice’s original total amount.
For the sales process in Russia: The Total Down Payment field on the A/R invoice and A/R credit memo displays the gross amount of the down payment. The Tax field on the A/R invoice and A/R credit memo displays only the tax amount of the A/R invoice or A/R credit memo.
The total of the regular invoice created with reference to the down payment request equals the difference between its original total and the down payment total.
NoteYou can link a down payment request to an invoice only when you create the invoice. You cannot do this at a later stage, for example, when recording the payment in the Banking module or during internal reconciliation.
End of the note.SAP Business One creates the regular postings.
Russia: After this step, create a tax invoice relating to the invoice. For more information, see A/P and A/R Tax Invoice - General Information.
If the drawn down payments do not pay the final invoice in full, you can perform the final payment using the Banking module.
The total amount of the payment (assuming the regular invoice is fully paid) is the total of the regular invoice minus the payment made for the down payment request.
