In other words, the amount received is to be allocated to this document. I selected the original invoice with the amount €1.069,54 as the invoice for which an amount has been received all other documents have been deselected. The payment concerns invoice number 90670336. The selection screen of transaction code F-28 is not included in this article as this lies outside the scope of the article only the open items found are shown in Figure 1. In transaction code F-28 I have selected all open items of customer 1457.

The option has the same effect on transaction FB05 as it has on transaction F-28.įirst, I describe the process of allocating incoming amounts to an invoice without the accounting editing option switched on. For example, during the post-processing of bank statements the transaction FB05 is used to allocate an incoming payment to an invoice. Note The option in this example works not only for transaction code F-28 but also for other transactions that clear documents. The payment is processed using transaction code F-28, which is the standard SAP transaction code for incoming payments. Now a payment for the remaining amount is received. The partial payments have been received previously and have already been posted in the system.

A customer has received an invoice of €1.069,54 and the customer has made two partial payments on this invoice: one payment of €400 and one of €450. Let’s look at an example of how this process works with and without the option. However, a very simple accounting editing option for incoming payments can make it automatically clear how much the customer paid. When looking at a customer invoice, you cannot easily see how much the customer already has paid.

The method for handling partial payments in an SAP system is not always clear and may sometimes lead to incorrect postings.
