Documentation

Definition

Specifies which postings can be made.

Use

A down payment chain can incorporate several transactions, (advance payment, partial invoices, corrections, final invoice).

If you wish to post, you must first create a transaction and choose a transaction category, before you can enter the accounting document.

The following transaction categories are available:

AP    Advance Payment

PI    Partial Invoice as Invoice or DR    Partial invoice as Down Payment Request

FI    Final Invoice

CR    Correction

Dependencies

In Customizing for Debit-Side and Credit-Side Down Payment Chains under Define Chain Types for Down Payment Chain, you specify, whether partial invoices are posted as invoices or down payment requests. Both accounting documents cannot be used at the same time within one down payment chain.
