simplified invoice against customer downpayment

[arun2810]

Hi,

As per ZATCA -document compliance requirement, tax invoice needs to be issued for collecting customer down payment. If the FG is delivered on multiple schedules , then how to generate Tax invoice and integrate with ZATCA for customer down payments from the sales order. If proforma invoice type is used to capture the advance part then, can this be sent to ZATCA system and validated? Planning to use condition based down payments. Has SAP provided any solution as part of e-invoicing solution on this? Has anyone mapped this earlier?

Please let me know.

Regards,

Arun

Hi Ahmed,

Thanks for sharing your valuable insights on the requirement. So as I understand from your response condition based down payment cannot be used. Through SD only billing plan based down payment can be used. My query is from which document the tax invoice has to be generated ( after integrating with ZATCA) ? Is it from billing document ( FAZ billing type) or the down payment document ( DZ) after the advance is received from the customer.

How can we have billing plan against FG ( which is not milestone based) which is revenue based with multiple schedules of delivery ? Since billing plans are basically down payment and final invoice, this wont allow multiple schedule lines and multiple invoices against the deliveries.

Regards,

Arun

Hi Arun,

After you create a billing document of the down payment, you should submit it to ZATCA as an e-invoice.

To do so, you would need to use the following value mappings

• INVOICE_TYPE_CODE_FI to specify the document type created for down payments posting
• DOWNPAYMENT_GL_IND to maintain the Special G/L indicator defined for the down payments, which must be included in that document type at the time of down payment posting;

Accordingly, the eDocument cockpit will generate a down payment e-invoice.

After creating the billing document (for single/multiple deliveries), you would need to clear (fully or partially) the down payment amount with the created billing document. The eDocument cockpit would generate an e-Invoice in XML format with the prepayment and due amounts.

Here are two process flow for a couple of scenarios

1. SD Manual Down Payment

2. SD Automatic Down Payment Request (via Billing Plan)

For the value mapping documentation of Saudi Arabia, please access the Help portal Mapping Fields to the XML.

For a detailed FI scenario, please access MENA Workspace. You will get more information shared by other experts.

I hope this clarifies your query.

At the time of billing document posting i.e. VF01 - there is no link between DP and invoice.
And eDocument will get created on a real time basis from SAP DRC as soon as billing happens in VF01, how do we handle this as it will result in dual reporting.
