    1. Pricing details are checked for the Organization of the logged on user.
    2. Error messages are generated for incorrect determinations.
    3. It transfers the pricing details from the Sales Order to the Down Payment.
    4. If error messages are raised due to inconsistencies from the first step, the error messages remain.
  • If the logged on user belongs to an organization, that is not maintained in the customer master data, the pricing details cannot be determined.
  • You can manually adjust the down payment request to mend the inconsistencies to process the down payment.
