Use

In this IMG activity, you assign a transaction category of a debit-side down payment chain to the billing type.

A down payment chain can comprise several transactions with various transaction categories.
The following transaction categories are available:

  • AP - Advance Payment
  • PI - Invoice/Payment (partial invoice)
  • DR - Down Payment Request/Down Payment (partial invoice)
  • FI - Final Invoice
  • CR - Corrections

Release Billing Documents for Down Payment Chains

To release billing documents to the debit-side down payment chain, start the following transaction in the SAP Easy Access menu: Accounting -> Financial Accounting -> Additional Functions -> Down Payment Chains -> Release Billing Documents for Down Payment Chains.

If the accounting employee releases the billing document to the debit-side down payment chain, the system checks if a transaction category is assigned to the billing type.

  • If there is an assignment, the system triggers posting for the corresponding transaction in the debit-side down payment chain. The employee can enter both retention amounts and additional costs.
  • When the posting is saved, an entry is created in the debit-side down payment chains and an accounting document is created in Financial Accounting.

Requirements

You have defined a billing type for billing. You make this setting in Customizing for Sales and Distribution, by choosing Billing -> Billing Documents -> Define Billing Types.
