can you give any idea how to work on this..plss
I will very appreciate if you can replay my questions, 1.when I posting an advance payment request in F-47,there has a line item about “due on”, what it is mean? the date for payment deadline or should be clearing date? how can i maintance these Key date in SAP?
(Normally when we settle a down payment,we usually ask the applicant provide a clearing date,then he will give us invoice before the date to clear the downpayment.)
2.when the noted item had be runned by automatic payment F110, issued a downpayment ,voucher No start with”75″, I found the net due date is the same with document posting date. I understand the net due date is should be clearing date, and how it affect aging report?
