[@pavalachandranchandran584]

Hi Abdullah, I am a great follower of your videos on SAP. Your explanations are awesome and easy to follow. Keep up of your good work.

[@AbdullahGalal]

Thanks a ton

[@zbrkabrkic]

Good job! Just as a note you can also clear items in MIRO directly using button "Down payment clearing".

[@AbdullahGalal]

Thank you! Great addition

Thank you 😊

[@777hviktor]

Dear Abdullah, I'd have a question. Why don't you take the down payment object with ME2DP transaction without F-48? Thank you for your answer.

[@jaydeepmadye6830]

Thank you the detailed video on down payment. Can you please advise how overpayment can be avoided in this type as final invoice gets process with total amount as GR is available by auto process.

[@BAnandmayi]

What to do if we have multiple lines in PO and also TDS applicable during the payment.. TDSG is applicable in India...

[@kenyonphua9185]

Hey Abdullah Galal, thanks for the information. Personally, i liked your videos and explanation the most amongst all other SAP tutorial vids! I do have some questions, i hope you can help to clarify. 1. what about prepayments? in cases where 100% of the purchase order value has to be paid upfront (eg. magazine subscription where you pay for a year and they will only deliver every month) - do we use the down payment process you showed? (if i am not wrong, from what i understood, down payment and prepayment are the same in SAP terms) - if yes, do we create an invoice as well? (since the supplier will send one for the inital payment) - how do we clear an invoice against a 100% posted down payment? --> we can't make a $0 payment to clear it with the post down payment - since prepayment means that goods/service has not been delivered, how do I balance it out with GR when it's completed (eg. when the magazine gets delivered every month) 2. An invoice comes in with a 30%down payment, do we need to create an invoice for that? or does creating a down payment, technically already means it's an 'invoice'? Thanks in advance, really hope you could help me!

[@AbdullahGalal]

Thank you Kenyon! >Prepayment and Down payment can be different in SAP, the difference is whether you want the posting to go as a debit to a down payment account or as a debit to the normal vendor recon account, based on this the process will change We can post the IR before the GR, so you will create an invoice and send it to the supplier then get the payment, but in this case this is not considered as a down payment, since a down payment is payment we receive before the invoice There's a vendor clearing transaction where you can select the lines and clear them together without posting a payment (F-44) You create the invoice for the full amount and specify in the payment term what you want

[@ebraammagdyharoun577]

[@meeraupadhyay6501]

Thnx.,.i was knowing only from FI side..,not with purchase order.... 👍

[@Ramyengisetty1]

Hi Abdulla, this is a great presentation about the Vendor down the payment process. It should have been more transparent if you show the down payment monitor transaction ME2DP to see the status changing for each step. When you clear the downpayment how the ME2DP screen looks like.?

[@AbdullahGalal]

Hi Ram, thank you. I can't make long videos, the average watch time for my videos is 3.5 minutes 😐 so I only give the main points in my videos that would help you to test the process and see the rest of the details

[@aleksandrabizjak9780]

Hi Abdullah, thanks for the video. I am from a Purchasing not from finance. Do you have any experience or recommendation, when users want to use dowpayment on a header level of a PO ?

[@markuswright1349]

Hi Abdullah Galal I know this is not related to this video but can you help me understand as to why SAP has given a quantity field in MIRO? I am trying to understand the impact of this. Lets take this example I make a PO for quantity 10 and price 10 so total PO value 100. Post which i make a GRN (MIGO) for quantity 10 Now when i punch the invoice (MIRO) for price 100 but quantity 15. Now system gives me a warning that quantity exceeded GRN quantity, however if i save this what will happen will my inventory go up by 5 ? Just want to understand this. Thank you

[@rayzor07]

Nice video. For the end user sake, I would have shown how to clear the Down payment immediately while entering the Invoice on MIRO as it has the option to do so. If it is wasn't for your video, I would have struggled quite a bit with this as I have to propose this solution to the client as they are constantly being requested for down payments/ deposits by Suppliers.

[@AbdullahGalal]

Glad to help, and thank you for the suggestion

[@haridasansapmm254]

Hi Sir, Please let me know the Fiori app for creation of down payment request

[@devdb6194]

thank you so much for the explanation but i have one question does the down payment or the down payment request appears in the account statement? let us say i want to send customer statement i searched your channel for such situation but could not find anything about it would you elaborate more on customer statement and down payment please

[@AbdullahGalal]

Hi, you can show them or hide them! ..normally in the statement you can choose to either show or hide special GL transactions

[@christosmavrikos4101]

Hi Abdullah Galal, How has to be proceeded in case we want to make Down Payment request on the whole PO with two or three lines?

[@Raymss1]

Hi Abdullah, thank you for the Video, can you explain/do a video on how to process make dated cheque payments ( I guess with F-40),lets say make a rent payment with 4 PD Cheques, how to make the entry in SAP, please assist

[@AbdullahGalal]

What I do is use special GL transactions (Noted Items) to record the PDC which has no financial impact, when the due date of the check arrives, we can either created a manual incoming payment entry or using the automatic payment program On the channel there are videos explaining with a demo what are special GL transactions and also the automatic payment program for vendors/customers

[@bilelamri5273]

Hi sir, thank you somuch for the effort you make When i made a manual down payment request against the purchasing document in F-47 i was able to post the DP request after successfully, but when i made a DP request using ME2DP transactions, when i want to post thr DP request the system can not find it and shows this message "No suitable down payment requests exist" do you have an idea on this issue please sir.

Great video Abdullah. You mentioned when we do down payment to the vendor, it's Debit Vendor A/C and Credit Bank A/C. Shouldn't it be reverse?

[@AbdullahGalal]

No, vendors are accounts payables. when we post a vendor invoice, the vendor is credit. when we post a vendor payment, the vendor is debit

What if i hsve 100% down payment with tax code other than v0

[@moazzamca1]

Great job bro, very good explanation. Just a suggestion, at times users ask to also include sales taxes in the down payment amount. In your example it appears to be 0%. If you can make a video also covering sales tax that would be helpful.

[@AbdullahGalal]

Intead of using the V0 Tax code (0%) use another one, the process is the same. I also have a separate video for VAT process and configuration

[@moazzamca1]

@@AbdullahGalal i believe that also requires some additional FI config. Simply using an existing tax code will not apply taxes to DP. Thanks

@@moazzamca1 you're right! That's a country specific requirement since normally taxes are on invoices but some countries require that down payments are also subject to tax. Will create a poll and see how many people are interested by this topic

Hi Abdullah, Regarding Down Payment monitor via transaction ME2DP, we would like to clarify in addition: 1.There is an indicator for the first two phases of the process - red color has to show that as per a specific PO, there is a Down payment marked / with transactions PO(ME21N) or (ME22N) / and this turns to green when the Down Payment Request is made. Is it possible also to have some indicators for the next phases in order to make selections - after approval, after execution of payment, when the whole amount of the PO has been paid. Or the information is available only in PO History? 2.PO with multiple Down Payments Request for example 100T Scrap- what is the option for monitoring via the transaction of all Down payments which are created with their DP%, DP Due Date and Dwn Payment Amount, marker when the whole amount as per the PO is cleared. Please clarify the columns - DwnPaytAmt, TotalDPs, Total DPR 3.In case of PO with more than one line when we create Down Payment Request on header level of the PO then in FBL1N the Down Payment and the payment also are shown on several rows. This is possible to create difficulties when we clear the invoice with the payment. What is the practice in this case? Thank you in advance.

[@AbdullahGalal]

Hi Christos, I checked your question a lot and they are really great, personally, I haven't gone this deep into this transaction so answering these questions would require some research and testing which I provide only to clients. I would suggest you test some cases and see how this will impact the transaction and also read the SAP help page for this transaction help.sap.com/viewer/967e1c2a6a8c4183b7e07d28e7574445/6.17.17/en-US/167eb65334e6b54ce10000000a174cb4.html
