In this IMG activity you define the chain type for the down payment chain.
A chain type includes different control parameters and is created uniquely for one company code.
For control parameters you must define:
- Whether it is a debit-side or credit-side down payment chain, in other words, whether you are posting to the vendor or customer account.
- Which number range interval is used
- Whether the partial invoices can be posted as down payment requests or invoices
You cannot use both accounting documents at the same time.
- Whether the chain type can be used for creating new down payment chains (active chain type).
The down payment chains belonging to one chain type can easily be further processed, even if the chain type has been deactivated in the meantime. However, you cannot create a new down payment chain for a deactivated chain type.
- Which initial status the system should set when you create a down payment chain
- Up to which percentage security retention amounts, guarantee retention amounts and additional costs can be created.
- Where data entry is cumulative or the difference from the previous accounting document is added on.
- Which partner determination procedure is used for the down payment chain
- Which document type is valid for the accounting documents, in order to control document entry
- Which prefix for reservation of assignment number is used
- After what residence time down payment chains can be archived at the earliest.
