First Invoice VF01: Create Billing Document

No financial documents created. If down payment receipts exist on the payer account, during the document save process an information message is issued to the user prompting them to use transaction ZADP.

ZADP: Update Billing Document with ZPAD condition Transaction ZADP automatically executes VF02 to update the billing document header condition, release the billing document to accounting, and F-39 to clear the down payment.

NOTE: at this time the billing person knows that $200 of down payment is going to be used as part of the settlement of this invoice. Invoice to customer should state gross value is $2,000 with a down payment of $200, leaving a net payable of $1,800. The billing document header condition ZPAD is added

F-39: Clear Down Payment (use $200 of the $500) (1600000026)
