Hello,

In SAP S/4HANA, to ensure that a delivery block is applied to a sales order until the required down payment is received, you can configure the billing plan related settings. Here is how you can set this block during implementation:

Steps to Configure Delivery Block for Sales Order

1. Define Billing Plan:

   • Navigate to the billing plan settings in your SAP system.
   • Specify the milestone billing plan and set the required down payment amount.

2. Assign Delivery Block in the Billing Plan:

   • Assign a delivery block reason within the billing plan type. This will block sales order delivery until the down payment status is updated to ‘Fully Paid’. Down Payment Processing for Sales Contracts

3. Configure Down Payment Processing:

   • Utilize apps such as ‘Schedule Update of Down Payment Status - Sales Orders’. Schedule Update of Down Payment Status - Sales Orders
   • This app automatically removes delivery and billing blocks once the payment is cleared.
