Downpayment

[Former Member]

Hi,

We have noticed that Down payments against Purchase Order is updating Funds Management document taking Fund Center and commitment from Purchase Order. Down payments against Purchase Orders are creating extra commitments and budget is reduced by that. It is giving wrong results. But at the time of downpayment clearing it is adjusted. We don't want to update Down payments in FM. We have already many records under this value type.

Our fiscal year is April to March

Hi,

Please, consult note 1838093 - Down Payment Request and Down Payment Clearings in FM: Which

scenario fits my business requirements best?

Hi Eli,

Thanks for your reply. I have checked the notes you have mentioned. At the time of Down payment clearing values are updated correctly. My question is say PO is created for 1000 and Down payment against PO is 150. Now total commitment is 1150. It should be only 1000. When we clear invoices it is updating correctly.

Can we assign a statistical commitment item to Down payment updates so that it will not have impact in FM

What should be done for existing Down payments

Well, that's exactly the point: there could be double consumption of budget, unless a proper way of working, described in the note, is selected. DP should consume commitment budget, but, in its turn, reduce commitment of PO.

Thanks Eli,

We don't want update from Down payments. If we assign a statistical Commitment item will it disturb any process. What could be done for existing DPs.

Can we try FMN0 with delete option

You can reassign them via FMCB.
