Down Payment

Down payment is an additional charge with record type D. Unlike other additional charges, an additional charge type D is invoiced before delivery (although you can also choose to postpone invoicing until after delivery).

You can add it manually or update it in 'Rental Agreement. Connect Additional Charge' (STS103) using related option 15='Addnl charges' in 'Rental Agreement. Open Lines' (STS201). It can also be automatically connected in (STS103) through 'Additional Charge. Connect to Item' (STS590). You can add an additional charge type D to agreement lines in statuses 0 to 25.

Agreement lines with additional charges type D connected are set to status 25-'Down payment' at agreement activation. When the additional charge type D is invoiced, it reaches status 90, but the agreement line remains at status 25 until proceeding with the rental flow. You cannot invoice an additional charge type D more than once.

Additional charges type D cannot be used in combination with rental agreement line types 1, 2, 4, and 6.

Note: For line type L, adding an additional charge with record type D affects the leasing curve and rent amount of the agreement line (see Down payment for leasing lines below).

Down payment for leasing lines

The 'Down payment amount' field on 'Rental Line. Convert to Leasing' (STS106/E) is used to summarize the amount of all additional charges with record type D in (STS103). This amount is withdrawn from the sales or cost price (depending on the leasing calculation base) when calculating the leasing curve and rent amount for the agreement line.
