Symptom
When scheduling the job Schedule Update of Down Payment Status – Sales Orders, the application does not return any data or shows one of the following messages:
- “No data found.”
- “Results: No entry with job results.”
This can happen even though the down payment request has already been fully cleared in Financial Accounting (FI).
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Create sales order for down payment according to scope item BKJ.
- Create the down payment request (FAZ) for the down payment item line of the sales order.
- Post the incoming payment.
- Schedule the application job Schedule Update of Down Payment Status – Sales Orders.
The job runs successfully but returns no data or result entries.
Cause
This is expected system behavior.
The Schedule Update of Down Payment Status – Sales Orders app is only relevant for FI-CA (Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable) scenarios.
If the posting is done in FI-AR (Accounts Receivable Accounting), the job will not find any applicable data.
In FI-CA scenarios, the app updates the down payment status for sales orders that are integrated with Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable (FI-CA).
If the sales order is processed in FI-AR, the down payment status update logic is not triggered, and therefore the app will not return any results.
Example
If a sales order is relevant to FI-CA, the Document Flow will show the down payment request with the status “FI-CA doc. generated” after posting to FI:
Resolution
- The application job Schedule Update of Down Payment Status – Sales Orders can only be used for FI-CA-based down payment processing.
- For customers using FI-AR (standard receivables accounting), this job is not applicable and no update of the down payment status occurs automatically after clearing.
- This is the standard system design in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition.
If the ability to update the down payment status for FI-AR postings is critical to your business, please raise a Customer Influence Request.
