Condition Type: AZWA, will help to create the down payments need to receive from
end customer.
Here we use Condition class: A (Discount or surcharge) and Calculation Type:B

Condition Type: AZWB, for billing and it is for down payment demand/settlement.       

Here we use Condition Class: A (Discount or surcharge) ,Calculation Type: G

2. Pricing Procedure: (Transaction code: V/08)

Above Condition Type i.e. AZWA and AZWB are need to be updated in Pricing
procedure.

In pricing procedure use AZWA, this will help to create the down payments need
to receive.

demand/settlement.

Hello Amarnath

Thanks for sharing nice document.

Could you please help with query.

1. Are we able to see Downpayment request in Sales Order(VA02)-any link between Downpayment request
& Sales order.
2. Does it update anywhere in sales order once downpayment is recieved.
3. How we can control that delivery should not be happened until downpayment received.

Best Regards,

Asim

Hello Amarnath,

thank you very much for the explanation.

I have a question, where you may can help me with:

Assuming, a down payment of (e.g. 50%) has been agreed and payed on a sales order amount of 10.000 Euro.
An over-delivery tolerance is maintained and the final billing document shows a sum of 12.000 Euro.

Which setting is necessary, to avoid, that the customer is immediately falling due with the amount of 1.000
Euros?

In kind of questions, please feel free to ask.

Kind regards

Jutta

Great Post here, Amarnath Subudhi

I was trying to replicate the process.
After switching SD_01 on.
I went through enhancing pricing to new pricing cond types, created new gl accounts for alternat. customer
recon. and payable tax,
updated pricing procedure,
configurated obxr, obxb, ob14, ob41 and checked finally OBC5.
While replicating the process:
Va01 sales order went ok AZDI, AZWA and AZWB are present in schema.
f-36 and F-29 went ok presenting the expected accounts and keys.
But at VF01 AZWB is not filled with down payment amount, only AZWA .

Is there some missing link that can cause this?

Your input will be highly appreciated.

Regards
Rafael

Not mentioned here, but It must be ensured that the business function SD_01 under

ENTERPRISE_BUSINESS_FUNCTIONS is activated via T-code: SFW5. It’s the technical prerequisite

for the condition-based down payment function.

Dear,
thanks for this blog. I didn't know SAP has an alternative solution for "billing plan related down-payment"
process, great.

But I am little bit confused (reading attached notes) if this solution is only available for ECC 6.0 (EhP2), how to
understand this? Does it mean the later system versions cannot used this solution? Actually I am working on
S/4HANA OP 1909 and my question is if this can be applied for this system version as well or not?

Thanks a lot for your feedback.

Best regards, Pavel

Thanks a lot for sharing.

If we use "condition based down payment" in SAP Standard there seams to be no posibility to create the
"advance payment request" from SD. Any ideas? Maybe as copy of FAZ (but I don´t want to use billing plan)
and condition AZWA.

I guess you need to develop something like ME2DP in Purchasing...

FAZ is not a good idea here - completely different ideology.

Hi Amarnath, many thank for the detailed explanation!

Any idea how to automate processing of incoming down payments? Ideally I would like to supply Sales Order
Nr. to the application so that it automatically creates credit items based on the SO items and proposes AZWA
values in each.
