3406519 - Down Payment Request Not Appears in Purchase Order Document Flow

You create a Down Payment Request based on a Purchase Order. 

However, in purchase order's document flow, you cannot see the down payment request neither under standard view nor extended view.

SAP Business ByDesign

1. Open Purchase Requests and Orders work center.
2. Create a new purchase order YYY and order it.
3. Open Supplier Invoicing work center.
4. Create a new down payment request MMM and link it to purchase order YYY by maintaining "Order ID" field at Item tab.
5. Post down payment request MMM.
6. Check purchase order's document flow on header level.
7. There is no down payment request MMM neither under standard view nor extended view.

This is a normal system behavior.

Down payment request is directly linked to supplier invoice, and supplier invoice is linked to purchase order. This means down payment request should be attached to purchase order via supplier invoice.

If there is no supplier invoice linked to both down payment request and purchase order, down payment request will not show up in purchase order's document request.

In order to see down payment request in purchase order's document flow, you need to create and post supplier invoice for the purchase order.

Note: down payment request should be paid first otherwise supplier invoice cannot be posted.
