Summary :
This SAP Note addresses improper setup issues for down payment processing in releases starting from 4.0x, affecting transactions and Customizing. The symptoms include no billing plan creation and errors in down payment requests and billing documents in SD. Key transactions required for configuration like OVBP, OVBR, and VOFA, involve settings related to the billing plan, item categories, billing types, and conditions for processing down payments. Proper linkage of sales orders in financial postings (OB41, OBC5, OB14), ensuring sales order fields are visible, and syncing with milestone billing configurations are essential steps outlined. Recommendations also include checking prerequisites like assigning default cost elements in CO via transaction OKEP, ensuring correct billing category setup, and handling down payment conditions using specific transactions (OVBO, OBXB) to automate and control down payment postings.
