Fiori Launchpad for Sourcing and Procurement

[JackN11]

Hi,

I am working on a client project in the SAP Public Cloud environment using the Fiori Launchpad for Sourcing and Procurement, I’ve been trying to locate the functionality related to tracking down payments on purchase orders. I’ve explored the available apps, used the search feature, and browsed through the tiles, but haven’t had any luck so far.

Is there a specific app or configuration I might be missing? Any guidance would be appreciated.

Kind regards,

Jack

Hello @JackN11

Thank you for your question.

Just to summarise, there is no single Track Down Payment app in the public cloud. You can instead use a combination of Finance and Procurement apps for that. You can approach by:

• Displaying Supplier Down Payment Requests: track down payment requests linked to POs.
• Manage Supplier Line Items: here you can view down payment postings.
• Monitor Purchase Order Items: this helps you to see down payment and payment status at PO level.
• Display Supplier Balances:  You can verify those balances including your down payments.

 Have a look at the following links for more guidance.  https://help.sap.com/docs/SAP_S4HANA_CLOUD/0e602d466b99490187fcbb30d1dc897c/6fb104f9b69241118a1ca76f...

Whilst doing that, ensure that your scope item for supplier down payments is active and that your PO payment terms contain the down payment indicator.

Hi @JackN11 

In public cloud edition, the Supplier Down Payments process is delivered through the 18B scope item. You can enable it by:

1. Go to your Central Business Configuration (CBC), --> then activate scope item 18B (Supplier Down Payments) under Finance --> Accounts Payable.
2. Deploy the configuration so the related SSCUIs and business roles are available.
3. Then, in SSCUI (Define Terms of Payment), create or edit a payment term and set the Down Payment Indicator to X.
4. Assign this term to your PO or supplier.

After activation, you can use:

• Display Supplier Down Payment Requests
• Manage Supplier Line Items
• Monitor Purchase Order Items
• Display Supplier Balances

to track and manage down payments across procurement and finance.

If 18B doesn’t appear in CBC, ensure to verify your country localisation and scope phase, or open an incident.

Have a look at the following references for more details.

Let me know if you have further questions.

Best regards
