RE:[sap-acct] Third customer payments

Hi

One possible theoretical solution in terms of accounting entries could be:

1. Customer Invoice on distributor :

Distribution Customer Debit 100 and Revenue Credit 100

2. Creation of a liability to distribution customer for excess receivable amount ( which has to be repaid)

Any Clearing Account Debit 20 Distribution Customer Account Credit 20

3. Receipt of money from end customer ( Steps 01 and 02 could possibly use individual entries concept of Alternative Payer and decide the end customer details during document entry of steps 1 and 2 )

Bank Account Debit 120 Distribution Customer Credit 100 and
Clearing Account Credit 20

4. Refund of excess receipt of 20 to distribution customer:

Distribution customer Debit 20 Bank Credit 20

Perhaps, this involves a lot of work and might also need periodic account clearing withing tyhe distribution customers account and the clearing accounts using SAPF124 respectively.

But am unable to think any better than this but am willing to learn easier work arounds, if any.

Regards

Subject: Third customer payments

Hello,

Can you please help me how the below process can be possible in SAP?

We have a process in our client where we sends goods to a distributor and bill him for example, $100. This distributor then sends the goods to the end customer for example $120. The distributor will use the same invoice number to bill the end customer which we billed to the distributor. This end customer sends the payment for $120 to our client. Now, we want to take this $120 payment and apply the payment of $100 against the distributor and also the pay the $20 to the distributor.

Thank You.
