Our client has a requirement regarding vendor down payment terms at the line item level.
The scenario is:
A construction project has a purchase order. Based on "stages" of the project, milestone payments (down payments) are due. The client wants to be able to:
We have activated the business function LOG_MMFI_P2P. We demonstrated the use of the vendor down payment amount and DP Due date fields and how the down payment monitor uses them. They responded that it is too complicated. I am designing options for how to accomodate this. A few key requirements:
- The client wants to be able enter the vendor payment terms at the line item level instead of the down payment due date
- The payment terms drive down payment invoice is received.
Current Process:
1) Supplier issues invoice for down-payment
2) SAP Payment terms at the header of the purchase order are changed
3) The invoice picks up the "down payment" payment terms
4) Supplier is paid in accordance to "down payment" terms
5) SAP Purchase order is changed back to original terms
Question:
Is there a way to assign a due date to a down payment that is based on different payments terms. Please assume, that we can add a custom payment term field to the "Invoice" view.
