S4HC- Create the billing document for down payment

[Haily]

I would like to know if i can create the invoice for the down payment amount immediately upon receiving the money.

I want to create two invoices instead of issuing one invoice for the total amount at the end.

thanks~

Hi Haily,

there are 2 options for billing with the billing plan:

1. down payment invoice FAZ plus closing invoice F2
2. partial billing by billing type F2

In your example you will have 2 customer invoices:

• one down pament request invoice (billing type FAZ) and
• one closing invoice (billing type F2).

The down payment invoice FAZ is handled differently in FI. It leads to FI down payment request posting with special G/L indicator, means the incoming payment is posted as FI down payment. This FI posting is cleared, when creating the final invoice and post final incoming payment.

In case you want to use partial billing, you have to choose different date category/billing rule in the billing plan. In this case you have 2 customer invoices with billing type F2. But this case is not considered as down payment.
