Planning Multiple Down payments

[former_member1256834]

Hello Gurus,

We have requirement to plan multiple advances at PO level. For this we are trying to use Invoice plan. But when i try to create invoice plan, i get a system message

"Message No. SE764

Invoicing plan function not possible in case of valuated good receipt

Diagnosis

Item & allows valuated goods receipt only. You wish to assign the item to an invoicing plan. This is not possible in the case of valuated goods receipts.

Procedure

If you wish to work with an invoicing plan, you must set the"Non-valuated goods receipt" indicator for the item."

With this message, the system does not allow me to create an invoice plan.

Can someone please explain me why Invoice plan is not allowed for Valuated Goods receipt?

Also I would like to know if there is any other way in which i can plan multiple advances at PO level?

Thanks,

Ritesh

I have already gone through that point in mentioned note. However i would like to understand why is this functionality not supported?

I cannot think of any specific reason.

Also is there any other way by which i can plan multiple advances in the purchase order?

Thanks

Ritesh
