3704401 - Additional line item created in Down Payment Request (FAZ) - SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

 The system generates an additional offsetting line item from Sales Delivery creating a balanced entry instead of a simple noted item for a down payment request (FAZ).

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition 2508 

The additional line items in G/L for a down payment request (FAZ) are created from Sales delivery in case projects  (Wbs elements) are used in billing and either accounting principle IFRS or US-GAAP is used in the system.

As described in the blog the additional line items are created for project billing reporting:

The G/L accounts involved should be assigned to same balance sheet item and have then no overall impact to balance sheet.

The feature of the additional posting can be deactivated by an expert configuration request.
