Sales Order: 3rd Party with Variant Configuration and Customer Down Payment

[markus91]

Hi experts,

we are currently using the "Sales Processing using Third-Party with Variant Configuration" (4R6) to handle 3rd party processes with variant configuration using standard billing process. Therefore, we assign item category group CB32 (3rd Party SO w/ VC) to the material master, which then determines item category CB1C (3rd Party VC with SN) and schedule line category WS in the sales order. So far so good.

We now need to add customer down payment to that scenario. Unfortunately, there seems to be now appropriate item category available to enable this scenario. I figured out, manually changing the item category to CBTD (Config.MileSt.-BP) during sales order creation will add the billing plan on item level, but at the same time change the scheduline line category from WS to CP, which then does not create a PR.

So here my question: Is there any way to enable sales orders with variant configuration, 3rd party and customer down payment in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition ?

Thx in advance and best regards

Hi Markus,

Please consider using item categories DB1C or DB2C, per item category determination screen below.

Hi Carlos,

is this function also available for the on-premise version?

Thank you and regards,

Hi Lars,as of now, it does not seem to be available in on-prem. However, as you can easily define and assign item categories yourself in on-prem versions, you should be able to do that on your own.
