| Prorate-based installmentsProrate-based
installments are generated based on an installment plan. When an installment is transferred to Invoicing, the installment
is prorated across the order lines by creating multiple billable lines. These
billable lines are handled together and result into one invoice for the
customer. Using this procedure, the lines of a sales order can include
different tax codes. Installment master data and procedure - Select the Installments Implemented check box and specify these parameters on
the Installments tab in the Sales Order Parameters (tdsls0100s400) session:
- Specify installment plans in the Installment Plan (tcmcs2645m000) session.
- Link an installment plan in the Installment Plan field of the Invoice-to Business Partners (tccom4512m000) session.
- Specify a sales order and lines in the Sales Order (tdsls4100m900) session and specify these fields:
- Select Installment Plan in the Installments field.
- Specify an installment plan in the Plan field.
- Save the sales order, which initiates the generation of
installments based on the installment plan in the Installments (cisli8620m000) session. To start this session click Installments on the appropriate menu in the Sales Order (tdsls4100m900) session.
- Approve the sales order. Consequently, the linked installment
lines are also approved.
- Transfer the installment lines to Invoicing in the Installments (cisli8620m000) session. Consequently, billable installment lines are
created and the installments are prorated across the sales order lines.
- Invoice the installments in Invoicing.
- Release the sales order lines to Warehousing in the Release Sales Orders to Warehousing (tdsls4246m000) session. The advance
installments must be paid to release a sales order line to Warehousing.
- Release the sales order lines to Invoicing in the Release Sales Orders/Schedules to Invoicing (tdsls4247m000) session. Except for Guarantee installments, the prorate installments must be
invoiced to release a sales order line to Invoicing.
- Process the sales order in the Process Delivered Sales Orders (tdsls4223m000) session. The installments must be closed
to process a sales order.
Note - Installments are invoiced, settled, and corrected in Invoicing.
- Guarantee installments can be transferred to Invoicing in the Installments (cisli8620m000) session, only after the sales order lines are
delivered and invoiced.
- If a sales order line is modified, the linked billable
installment lines must also be updated. However, the lines cannot be updated if
they are too far in the process. Settlement and correction installments are
used to handle the differences.
- The settlement of the advance installment invoice with the
goods invoice is also prorated to each order line.
- If the installment invoice cannot be completely settled with
the goods invoice, correction installments are generated when the installments
are closed.
