2894701 - Down payment amount in PO header not proposed when creating Down Payment Request

App Monitor Down Payment for Purchase Order is used to create Down Payment Request for a PO where Down Payment has been maintained at Header level. No value is proposed for the Down Payment or the Down Payment Request.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

1. Open App Monitor Down Payment for Purchase Order
2. Create Down Payment 

This is due to the fact, that the down payment on header level is not split onto the item levels. It does just mean that for the whole PO a down payment of the given amount is expected. This down payment can be created for any of the items or distributed however needed/wanted to the different items. If you want to have a proposed value in "Create Down payment request" you have to define the down payment on item level in the PO.

When the PO is saved with header and item DP requirement the values maintained are written to the down payment fields in EKKO and EKPO (EKKO/EKPO-DPAMT). The Monitor App just displays those values directly from the DB tables.

When selecting the option to create a down payment in the Monitor App, the system does not look at the header value at all, if the header line is choosen the system will always propose an empty value which would have to be maintained manually. Only when choosing to create a DP at the item level the system will pick up the amount maintained. This is the way the DP is designed to function at the item level. It is possible to create a DP at the header level but there is no correlation between the header down payment values and the item, this is not supported.

A general header down payment can be maintained manually in the PO and during the DP creating, the expected value to post can be maintained manually as a down payment.
