❤Navigating Procurement: Creating a Purchase Order with Down Payment in SAP 💰

Managing supplier relationships and ensuring smooth material flow often involves down payments. Did you know you can easily integrate these into your Purchase Order (PO) creation process in SAP?

Let's walk through how to manually create a Purchase Order that includes a mandatory down payment in SAP Fiori, a crucial step for managing vendor agreements and cash flow.

2️⃣ Step-by-Step: Manual PO Creation with Down Payment

This process is typically handled by a Purchaser, starting from the familiar SAP Fiori Launchpad.

1. Log In: Start by logging into your SAP Fiori Launchpad as a Purchaser.
2. Access the App: Open the "Create Purchase Order - Advanced (ME21N)" app. This transaction remains a powerful tool for comprehensive PO creation.
3. Enter Purchase Order Data:
Header Details: Fill in essential information like Order type: NB Standard PO and your Supplier (e.g., 12300003).
Navigate to the "Org. Data" tab in the Header section and enter your Purchasing Org. (e.g., 1210), Purchasing Group (e.g., 002), and Company Code (e.g., 1210).
Item Details: In the Items section, specify your Material (e.g., TG0011), Plant (e.g., 1210), Storage Location (e.g., 121A), PO Quantity (e.g., 100), and Net Price (X EUR).
Crucially, for Down Payment: Go to the "Invoice" Tab.
Enter your Tax Code.
Set "DP Category" to "Mandatory Down Payment."
Deselect "ERS" (Evaluated Receipt Settlement).
Press "Enter."
Now, you can define the "Down Payment %" (e.g., 10) and the "DP Date" (e.g., the last day of this month).
4. Save Purchase Order: Finally, "Save" your Purchase Order. Make sure to note down the generated PO number for future reference!

By integrating down payments directly into the PO, you ensure that financial agreements with suppliers are accurately reflected and managed from the very start of the procurement cycle. This helps in better cash flow planning and strong vendor relationships.
