Delivery type LR cannot be invoiced with billing type RE?

Question

Hi,
I am refering below flow to create an return order, but face an error when creating credit billing document:
ret sale order(RE)-ret delivery(LR)-post goods receipt(stock will be restored in corresponding storage loc)---credit for return(RE)
Error msg: " Delivery type LR cannot be invoiced with billing type RE;
Check the table entries for the copying control of billing
documents and add the missing entries as necessary.
Make the appropriate settings in Customizing if you have
the authorization to do so."
So i guess i might need maintain corresponding copying control for 'delivery document to billing document'...As the source order type is LR, and target order type is RE...I checked SPRO and found there are below inputs needed.  May i know what kind of data should be inputed normally??
"Copying requirements
Determ.export data
Assignment Number
Reference number"
Thank you very much!!

Hi
  In standard SAP credit memo for sale returns with refrence to return order only. (RE). Thats why you are getting this error. If your requirement is to refer the delivery quantity for the credit memo then you can do any one of the following
1. Change the copy control setting for Return order to Credit memo.
    Go to VTFA transaction and select your return order type (RE) and Credit memo type (RE) and go to item category level and select your returns item category (REN) and change the billing quantity to 'D' -Delivery quantity.
    Now create your credit note with reference to your returns sale order. (not delivery). Onlly delivered quantity will be copied to the credit memo.
2. If you want to create return credit memo with reference to your return delivery then follow the first two guy's reply. Also you have to do one more setting at your return order document type (RE).
   Go to VOV8 and enter ur return order type and go to details then enter the return credit memo type in the delivery related billing field. (FKARV) in the billing section.
