How to mark orders as advance or partial payment so that their invoices are posted differently?

[former_member652706]

Dear community,

I am trying to achieve the following: Let's consider two different types of invoices. Firstly, the ones that contain an advance and secondly, the ones that contain a partial payment.

What I would like to have is a possibility to mark an order (whilst creating it in ME21N) in a way, that once the corresponding invoice arrives, it is marked as advance or partial payment respectively and that it can be posted directly according to its category (in my country, advances and partial payments have to be posted differently).

Is there a way to do this? A colleague mentioned something like a "billing plan" or so, but this seems to focus rather on dates than on the category/the correct posting. Do I have to activate a Business Function?

Thank you very much in advance!

Not sure about your query!

If you have purchase order- you can pay the advance payment to vendor with F-47 and F-48

If you have an invoice for a purchase order- you can also pay partial payment with F-53( for partial payment , discuss with FICO consultant)
