Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud
Reproducing the Issue
- Create supplier down payment request via Manage Supplier Down Payment Requests app.
- Check the posted down payment request in app Manage Journal Entries.
- The down payment request has Journal Entry Attribute 'S' (Noted Items).
- Reverse the posted down payment request. The reversal document has Journal Entry Attribute 'A' (Clearing document).
In this example JE 1500000037 is the down payment request and the reversal document is JE 1500000038.
Resolution
Down payment requests are special documents, stored as Noted items. Even if they don't update transaction figures, they are relevant for other processes such as dunning, automatic payment transactions etc. They are entered at Accounting Document Segment level and they have only one line item in Manage Journal Entries App. The posted down payment request document has Journal Entry Attribute 'S' (Noted Items) in Header data.
The reversal of these documents is also special: technically clearing the line items of the original down payment request, and keeping the linkage between both documents is enough for accounting needs. Reverse function in Manage Journal Entries app makes 3 main updates:
- It posts a new document JE 1500000038 with status “A” (Clearing document) as Journal Entry Attribute in Header data. This new document has no line items in Manage Journal Entries App.
- It clears the original down payment request JE 1500000037 (Clearing Journal Entry is filled in Line Item view of the reversed document).
- And it also links the two documents by filling fields Reversed FiscalYr, Reversal Type and Reversed With for both documents.
