Cancellation / Reversal of Credit memos and Check for payment

I have few cases where the credit memos and check for payment documents have been keyed with an incorrect posting date.
What should be best approach to reverse these transactions.

Hi Somchitra,
in such situations ideally you would use the cancellation document standing on the original document, alas, a credit memo has no target document.
You will need to create an invoice with exactly the same data as in the credit memo & then internally reconcile these transactions. If the credit memo was in itself generated from an invoice, you need to cancel that reconciliation first. After that you re-create the credit memo with exactly the same data, just with the correct dates.
To cancel the cheques for payment you need to cancel the payment itself with the original document date & 'Cancelled' will be put in the 'Remarks' on the cheque.
You will then need to recreate the payment with the correct dates.
If you have already confirmed the printing of the cheque, you'll need to issue a new cheque number & destroy the printed copy, if it hasn't been printed, you can select the appropriate number in the 'Cheque number confirmation' window.
As always when correcting transactions, please keep an eye on the stock transactions & make sure they are correct. Also, for auditing purposes, always enter an approriate text in the 'remarks'.
All the best,
Kerstin

Diff bet credit memo and credit memo request

Hi
Can any one tell the difference between Credit Memo and Credit Memo Request
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Below is the information on crdit memo request.
Definition: A credit memo request is a sales document used in complaints processing to request credit for a customer.
Use: If the price calculated for the customer was too high (for example, with the wrong scaled prices or because a discount was forgotten), you can create a credit memo request. The credit memo request can be automatically blocked for checking. Once it has been approved, you can remove the block.The system uses the credit memo request to create a credit memo.
Structure: A credit memo request is another type of sales document like a standard order. For more information on sales documents, see Working with Sales Documents.A credit memo request starts the billing process.
=============================================
Below mentioned is the information on Credit Memo.
Definition: The term credit memo always refers to a credit memo from the vendor. Therefore, posting a credit memo always leads to a debit posting on the vendor account.
Use: As in the case of invoices, credit memos refer to purchase orders or goods receipts. They are used to correct the purchase order history if the quantity invoiced was too high, for example, if an invoice was too high or if part of the quantity was returned.
When you post a credit memo, the total quantity in the purchase order history is reduced by the credit memo quantity.
If you do not want the total quantity invoiced to be reduced, you must post the credit memo as a subsequent credit.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if you need more information and please assign points.

Debit memo and credit memo rule

hi
may i know why there is debit memo like bank transfer(debit memo), returned debit memo, check debit memo
and credit memo like check credit memo through bank
in posting rule.
what is the meaning of debit memo and credit memo in posting rule of electronic banking.
thanks

hi elina,
Debit Memo - It is a sales document used in complaints processing to request a debit memo for a customer. If the prices calculated for the customer were too low, for example, calculated with the wrong scaled prices, you can create a debit memo request. The debit memo request can be blocked so that it can be checked. When it has been approved, you can remove the block. It is like a standard order. The system uses the debit memo request to create a debit memo.
Credit Memo - A transaction that reduces Amounts Receivable from a customer is a credit memo. For eg. The customer could return damaged goods. A debit memo is a transaction that reduces Amounts Payable to a vendor because, you send damaged goods back to your vendor.
Credit memo request is a sales document used in complaints processing to request a credit memo for a customer. If the price calculated for the customer is too high, for example, because the wrong scale prices were used or a discount was forgotten, you can create a credit memo request. The credit memo request is blocked for further processing so that it can be checked. If the request is approved, you can remove the block. The system uses the credit memo request to create a credit memo.
T.codes FB75 or FB70
To create Credit / Debit Memo request:
- Use the same procedure that you use for Creating Sales Orders i.d T Code VA01
- Give Order Type as CR for Credit Memo and DR for Debit Memo reuest
While creating the request you have to enter Customer Number, Reason for the request. and Material and its quantity. Once the credit or debit memo request is released you can create credit or debit memo. The credit memo request will be automatically blocked for checking with Billing Block 08 (to check credit memo) & 09 (to check debit memo) for the sales order type CR

Debit memo and Credit memo

Dear Expert,
I always confused on Debit memo and Credit memo...especially the business scenario behind and how it is reflecting in SAP system.
Let's take this example:
e.g the Price in the main Invoice is lesser than the actual price, and the difference needs to be recovered from the customer.
My analysis:
"The invoice is lesser than the actual price", Means Product should cost 100 USD, but we billed customer only in 80 USD, there are 20 USD difference. Customer should pay us the rest 20 USD. So our Account receiivable should be increased. So we need create Debit memo to customer and ask them to pay the money. Customer received the Debit memo, they will create credit memo and send it to us said they will pay the money.
Am i understanding correct??? Please kindly share in case you have better simple example. Thank you very much.

Your understanding on the subject is absolutely correct.
Let me share an another example with you for debit memo.
These manufacturer of nuts and bolts. Previously they have 100 nuts in one pack, but then they changed it to 120. But the order which was already made for 10 pkts delivered 1200 nuts instead of 1000. So they require to raises Debit memo.
But, these Debit memo generally avoid, b'coz people take at most care in creating a invoice. And people do like to pay when they are receiving end.
Where as, Credit memo can be result of return or complaint of defect or less quantities delivered.
Well, their behavior is control by SD document categ at billing doc type (Tcode VOFA)
- P is for Debit Memo (L2)
- O is for Credit Memo (G2)
These SD document category classify for the different types of documents that you can process in the sales and distribution system (for example: quotations, sales orders, deliveries, and invoices). So, these determines how the system stores and keeps track of document data. It enables the system to provide you with status information about delivery processing, billing, and documents that are used for reference (for example, inquiries and quotations).
So, if we summaries it,
Credit memo - Created to reduce the amount of an existing vendor payable, or customer receivable.
Debit memo - Used to recover costs from another department or faculty. May also be used to correct an incorrectly posted entry.
Hope this suffice your requirement.
Thanks & Regards

Report to identify invoices, debit memos and credit memos

Hi,
Just enquiring if there is a report in SAP that will identify all invoices debit memos and credit memos issued within a particular date range.
Thank you.

Hi,
You can try VF05 as Navaneet indicated and also you can try VF05N (for only the header details), if you are using ECC 6.0
If you have VF05N, then you can tick 'Biling Documents in FI'. It will give you the billing docs for a date range and the ones that have been released to accounting....
Hope this helps
Thanks

Hi,
Good morning and greetings,
You can raise a Credit Memo for a Vendor using the transction code FB65 (without reference to an invoice) or MIRO (if it is with reference to an invoice) and the system would pass the following accounting entry
Dr. Expenses A/c
Cr. Vendor A/c
This particular document would have a payment term and payment due date. While running Automatic Payment Process, depending on the payment method the system will pick up the document and create a cheque / electronic transfer etc for the vendor with the following entry
Dr. Vendor A/c
Cr. Bank Clearing A/c
In the case of Customer you can account the credit memo (without reference to invoice) using FB75 or VA01 (Order Type CR, if it is with reference to an invoice). While you create the billing document for the order type CR the system would raise the following accounting
Dr. Expenses A/c
Cr. Customer A/c
This particular document would have a payment term and payment due date. While running Automatic Payment Process, depending on the payment method the system will pick up the document and create a cheque / electronic transfer etc for the customer with the following entry
Dr. Customer A/c
Cr. Bank Clearing A/c
Hope this meets your requirement...Please reward points if found useful
Thanking you

Change storage location and plant for Return Delivery (outbound)

Hi,
I'm trying to achieve the following:
Sales orders contained the 'normal' plant. Whenever a return delivery is created it should default the plant to a 'return delivery plant / storage location'. I've looked in to this and it seems we've got multiple options, however i would like to check:
- Implement V02V0002 user-exit and link with 'return' movement type. Will this ensure plant change aswell?
- Use standard RETA rule and define ?situations?. Could somebody clearify whether we can achieve our goal with this: Change plant and storage location?
Any suggestions to achieve the above are very much appreciated.
Note: Material contains both views for 'return plant/storage location' and 'normal plant/storage location'.
System is R/3 4.6c with IS Retail activated.
Kind regards,
Tim

Hi,
The delivery is created against/follow-on a sales order / subscription order / invoice. I don't think we use/have a 'return sales order'. Yes, we only use 1 plant / storage location for the returns of goods.
To sum it up:
- Implement badi/user-exit ensuring that the plant is changed/defaulted in to our 'returns plant' for return documents.
- Configure storage location via 'shipping condition'.
Correct?
Ps. I don't think we'll achieve changing the plant via configuring a shipping condition for our return document type. As the plant from the sales order doesn't match with the shipping condition it won't be taken in to account? And yes: It is mandatory/requirement to change the plant for customer return documents.
Thank you for your inputs.
Kind regards,
Tim

DBUS doesn't start - Could not get UID and GID for username

Hi.
Today i installed Archlinux in other of my systems, but i have a problem. I installed the last dbus (dbus 1.4.16-1) and i putted it in my rc.conf:
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng @network crond dbus alsa)
but it doesn't start.
The error is:
Thu Apr 5 23:03:36 2012: :: Starting D-BUS system messagebus [BUSY] Failed to start message bus: Could not get UID and GID for username "dbus"
Thu Apr 5 23:03:36 2012: [FAIL]
So, i don't know what happen. In my other systems, i don't have any problem, only with this fresh install.
Googling i found this solution from Chakra's wiki:
Could not get UID and GID
If you get the following error while starting DBUS:
Failed to start message bus: Could not get UID and GID for username "dbus"
then add the user like so:
# groupadd -g 81 dbus
# useradd -c 'System message bus' -u 81 -g dbus -d '/' -s /bin/false dbus
If i do this, can i funk my system?
Edit:
That solution works well. I don't kown if in the future maybe i'll have some problem.
Should i mark this post like "Solved"? Still i don't know what was the real problem.

Debit memo and credit memo reference issue

Dear all,
Here there is case report from our clients:
1) Create a credit memo request CR
2) Post CR with billing type G2
3) Create a debit memo request DR with reference to previous billing doc G2
4) Post DR with BT L2, but it fails when it is released to accounting. The error message shows:
---> Item specified for invoice reference is not an invoice item
       Message no. F5348
      An invoice reference to a vendor credit (vendor in debit) and to a
      customer invoice (customer in credit) is not possible.
Hence, there is the questions:
1) It's SAP standard that DR could not be refereed to G2?
2) If so, why system allow user to do it when she/he creates the DR?
Thank you,
James

Hi,
I just want to tell you this is not the standard practice.
Normal process
order >> delivery >> Invoice
Now here two scenario;s
Scenario 1 - Customer return or some other reason customer canceled and you want to credit him
Credit memo request(reference to invoice) >> Credit memo
Scenario 2 - Earlier invoice is wrong(wrong price) and you wanted to charge customer additional some amount
Debit memo request >> Debit memo.

Change condition value in debit memo and credit memo

Hi Experts,
When I am trying to create Credit Memo/Debit memo I could able to change the condition value for which condition type the value is there in Sales Order, but where as for other condition types it is not changeable.
For example for Freight the Condition type is ZFRE, value is 100 rs in sales order 90000001.
If I create credit memo with reference to sales order I can able to change freight value from rs100 to rs 75.
But what to do If I do not maintain freight value initially in sales order and if I want to adjust freight value ZFRE as rs 60 in credit memo. Presently I could not able to enter values in C/D Memo.
Hope my question is clear to you all.
Thanks & Regards
Naresh

Hi Naresh
If I understand correctly, then you want to include the freight amount automatically in the Credit memo which was not featuring in the Credit memo request.
If it is so, then first see which is Pricing procedure working for your Credit memo Request.
In the Pricing Procedure, check the freight condition type (e,g. KF00).
See the what is Acees sequence assigned to it and in the Access sequence what are table assigned.
In condition type KF00, Access sequence assigned is KF00 and two condition tables "Incoterm" and "Incoterm Part1 + Part2" are assigned to it.
In the Access sequnce of your Freight condition type , add another/new condition table "350" (Sales organisation). This table is already available in standard system.
Select the new condition table row, and click on the "Field" in the dialog box till the technical names are opened up / shown inspite of warning.
Once the technical names of the fields are shown , you can see the green light there, then save it.
Now, create a condition record (VK11) for your Freight condition (e,g. KF00) by choosing the "Sales organisation" level from the key combination.
Then go to the Copy control (VTFA), find the combination "G2 from CR "> go to Item level > select item category G2N and go to details.
Here, you change the "Pricing type" value to " H " and save it.
Now, when you will create a Credit memo with reference to the Credit memo request, the new Freight condition (KF00) will come into effect in the Credit memo, even if ,it was not there in the reference document.
