Invoice correction request -- Debit Memo

Hi,
I am able to create the Debit memo with respective RK(invoice correction request).
But the value in debit memo billing document is negative. So, accounting entry is going with negative value.
Can any body suggeest me whether it is correct process or i need to any settings.
Regar

In invoice correction request doc type is RK and
there will be two line items in Sales order
and 1st line item is the invoiced item and
2nd line item is what you need to enter with material and the quantity
now, the difference between the both will be paid to the customer in Credit memo
and in debit memo customer will pay to the company.
rule 1: you should make sure that the "reference mandatory" field should be
set to Invoice.
hope this will clarify you,
Regards,

Invoice Correction Request clarification

Hello Gurus,
Invoice Correction Request (Document type RK).
In this we will have One line item as credit and one as debit.
the first item is for credit entry with item category G2N and second item for debit entry with item category L2N.
1)we cannot make any changes in first item, ie for credit entry, no adjustments is allowed only we can make changes in debit item. why so?
suppose i have a item with qty 2 amount 1000rs. But the invoice sholud be 900 rs , in this case what i need to enter in the debit item , is the amount or quantity.
2) if we can make debit memos and credit memos with this Doc type Rk , then why we need doc type L2(Debit) and G2(Credit)?
All answers are highly appriciated.

Hi
I will try to explain you.
This Invoice correction request you are having means, you are having an approval step.
So that, the end user, I mean the person who is processing the document should not be able to do any mis-appropriation.
So every time , he wants to issue a Credit memo for the mistake in Invoice, it has to pass through an approval step. Some authorised person will check it and then only Credit memo creation is possible.
Beside this, the end user has to specify the "Order reason", that he has to specify as to why this document is taking place and this will be recorded in the organisation to ensure that it should happen regularly , by taking appropriate step.
That is why Invoice correction request, credit memo request, debit memo request, return request, they all contains a billing block. In these documents also, you have to specify order reason as to why this document is taking place as they created in complain phase .
This documents are created due to some complain.
This is an approval step and some authorised employee can only release the block and after that the subsequent document can be created.

Credit Memo Request Vs. Invoice Correction Request

Hi,
I have done tests and searched the forums but I don't understand the difference between a credit memo request and invoice correction request.
What are the business scenarios for each? They both create a credit memo in the end (just one has 2 line items and the other has 1).
Thanks,

Hello,
When customer has a complaint about the products or when return delivery happens, usually you give the customer credit memo with reference to the credit memo request. It can either be created with referent to sales order or billing documents.
Whereas in Invoice correction request, any changes occurs in either quantity or value of the order, you create invoice correction request which is followed by credit memo. It always be created with reference to billing documents. Morever its not necessary that credit memo always be created, it may be debit memo as well.
Hope it clears your doubt

Credit memo request and invoice correction request

Hi,
Can anybody please explain the difference between Credit memo request and invoice correction request?
Regards
Deepak

Hi Deepak
Credit memo request -- A credit memo is used when a customer has to get receive some credit amount to customer
Example : If billing happens for 100pcs but any damage happened in transit and he received only 75pcs and the customer has paid for 100pcs then we can raise the credit memo only for that 25pcs qty
Invoice Correction request -- It is a also a document type where a customer can receive anyone debit memo or credit memo based on the request raised by the customer
Credit memo Example : If the billing happens for 100pcs and the billing price is Rs.25000/- but do to some mistake Rs.27500/- happened then a Credit memo has to be issued to customer
Debit memo Example : If the billing happens for 100pcs and the billing price is Rs.25000/- but do to some mistake Rs.23500/- happened then a debit memo has to be issued to customer

Invoice correction request

I have created an invoice correction request with ref to a billing doc.
From document I understand that system creates a credit memo for the +ve total value & a debit memo for a -ve total value.
Since my RK has default category set to K it always allows me to create only credit memo.
Anyway I will explain my problem below.
My Sales Order has 2 items & the origianl price for the 1st item was entered as $6,000 per piece. But found the new price to be only $8,000. I changed the debit amount in RK to $8,000.
For the 2nd item if the original price maintained is $500 & in invoice correction req I changed the debit amount to $300.
After I save the invoice correction req it allows me to create only Credit memo for both the items.
My credit memo shows the below,
item 1 credit amount $6,000
item 1 debit amount $8,000-
item 2 credit amount $500
item 2 debit amount $300-
I don't quite understand how it works & how by right it should be if my price change being lower & higher due to price discrepency.
Pls share,

Hi Santosh,
Take it easy. I have seen people posting job openings at SDN forums. Let us 'honestly" welcome new members.
This was a general open-ended question and I quoted (better way to say copied) SAP to give an answer. I can not explain better then SAP.
Comming back to the topic, Invoice Correction Request is "unique" to SAP and is quite useful but I have not seen it in use. Normally I have seen people using a combination of Credit memo request, Debit Memo request, Sales Return and New Sales order to achieve what can be done by this single document. So if some body shows interest in it, it interests me.
In a sequence to General Question - General Answer often there are specific questions and answer.
Morale of the story : "Take it Easy".

Invoice Correction Requests

Hi Friends,
As per client's requirement which is as follows
Material is sold to customer say with price of Rs 100/- per item. But my client is realised that the price of Rs 100/ per item is on lower side. So client is now wants to charge Rs 150 per item.And it also reflect in chages in Excise and taxes applicable to that. Now I can create the invoice correction request for the same. Which I created...
But I am facing following problem as
1. Instead of positives values I am getting negative values in Invoice correction request.
2. I should be able to create the debit memo..for the difference amount. i.e. Rs 50/- per item.
3. what type of copy control should I maintain in order to get the right result.
Kindly advice
thanks in advance
shailesh

Hi there,
Invoice correction Request RK is configured to trigger a credit memo. But it can be manually be over written.
When you create a invoice correction request (which is always referenced from invoice), system will create 2 line entries for each line item in the invoice.
The 1st item is a credit item, 2nd item is a debit item. It will substract the 2nd item from the 1st item. + value indicates credit memo, negative value indicates debit memo.
For eg if you have 10 items in your case, this is what happens in the system:
Credit item: 10 items X Rs 100 === Rs 1000
Debit item: 10 items X Rs 150 === Rs -1500
Difference===================Rs - 500
The minus indicates we need to receive the amount from the customer.
So against the invoice correction request we create a debit memo in this case in VF01.

Invoice Correction Request- Both the lines with G2N

Hi
I am facing a problem while using a standard invoice correction request with reference to billing document.
In the standard SAP, there should be 2 line items created one with item category G2N and one with item category L2N which we can change the quantity and price.
In my system I got both line with the same item category G2N and hence I can not perform any changes to the line item.
In the Copy Control Setting, I see source item Category TAN AND TARGET G2N AND L2N which is how it should be for Invoice correction requrest.
I see the Item category determination for RK - - G2N and RK--G2N G2N (some of the SAP documents say it is standard and no need of L2N in the determination). Still, I tried with changing L2N as well in the default with header item being G2N but no luck.
Is this a bug in standard SAP? Do we need to apply some notes? Or Is there any specific config/routine to be applied?
Request your help in this.
Regards

Hi,
As you are creating a Invoice Correction request with reference to an Invoice Document.Standard SAP explains as
In most cases, an invoice correction request is created with the aim that a credit memo is generated. In the standard system, the invoice correction request is therefore characterized as a credit memo request, which means that the system creates a credit memo based on the invoice correction request.
In Customizing, you can change this, so that the invoice correction request is characterized as a debit memo request. In this case, the system creates a debit memo, based on the invoice correction request. You can change these settings in Customizing under Sales  S ales Documents  Sales document header  Define sales document types in the Sales document categ. field.
Regardless of whether the invoice correction request is a credit or debit memo, the first item is always a credit item and the second is a debit item.
The system creates two items in the invoice correction request for each item in the Invoice:
1)Credit Item- Credits
2)Debit Item-Debit
Kindly Cross check your Copy Control for your Source Billing Document type and Target Invoice Correction request.
Confirm for the ITEM Category TAN and TARGET G2N AND L2N.
Create the Invoice Correction request by referring an Invoice and notice the 2 items for each Billing Item.
Regards,
Ravi

Invoice Correction Request - RK

I created an invoice correction request with reference to an invoice. Changed the quantity on it from 3 to 1. So the customer will need to pay less than what they were supposed to pay.
No amount has yet been received from the customer.
Now where do I see if a credit memo or a debit memo has been created or not ?
When I go to VA01 to create a Credit memo request (CR), with reference to the invoice, it tells me that a credit memo request already exists for that invoice.
When I do get in the order, the no. of items is the same - 3.
Solution anyone?
Cheers

Hi there,
Basing on your issue, you create a invoice correction request RK or a credit memo request CR. Not both.
If you create an invoice correction request, then it will have a credit memo by default. RK will have a billing block sothat authorized person can validate the RK order type. Once the billing block is removed manually, we can create credit memo G2 invoice in VF01.
In practise, credit memo request is created for returns. If you happen to know that you have billed the customer with a wrong price or quantity we create a invoice correction request.
Hope this helps.

Sivanand

What is invoice correction request

Hi gurus
can any one explain me in which scenario we use invoice correction request.
2) can any one explain me about free of charge deliveries. How we do in sap sd module. what are steps involved into in that.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
1.Invoice correction request is one type of sales document.This doc enables us to correct the quantity and/or the price for one or more items in the invoice.Each invoice request that is made in reference to an invoice.We can not create an invoice correction request in reference to a sales order or delivery doc .
If there is any thing wrong in price or qty information in the billing doc then we can go for invoice correction instead of invoice cancellation.The doc type used for invoice correction request is RK. With ref to any billing doc only we can create a invoice correction request.After creating invoice correction request ,with ref to that we can create either credit memo or debit memo respectively basing on the difference between the old and new invoices.
2.Free of charge delilveries :In this process business can deliver the goods to the customer for free of cost.In this process the items which are in the order are not relevant for pricing and billing .
The doc type used to create Free of charge del is FD
Item category is KLN.
Hence this process is not relevant for billing there is no billing.
If business launched a new product and he is going to give as a sample to his customer then business will go for this.

Does invoice correction request updates inventory?

I am creating a new invoice correction document type which has a Debit Memo instead of Credit Memo (standard) subsequently, now my question if there is a correction in quantity - DOES THE INVOICE CORRECTION REQUEST UPDATES THE INVENTORY?

Hi,
Absolutely yes, as long as the invoice correction is related to the quantity, it must affect the stock value in SAP system.

Regarding doc type RK ( invoice correction request)

hi
When i am creating invoice correction request, the line item( item category G2N) in display mode only. But another line item( item category L2N) is in enable mode. How can i make line item of category G2N enable. veru urgent please.
Regards,
ram

Hi,
Invoice correction request is used both as Credit memo and debit memo req..
Normally Two line items are created first one is Non modifiable.. that means the original. the second one is modifiable that means here you can adjust the qty or price in the conditions screen...
If you decrease the qty the system leads to create a credit memo and if u increase the qty it leads to create a dibit memo... the system automatically finds whether a debit or credit depends on the value diffence of the second line item with first one....
So no need to change that....

Creating Invoice Correction Requests

Dear experts:
I create a Invoice Correction Requests reference to a billing document.This document only contains one item.
But my Invoice Correction Request contains two items,the invoice Correction Request contain repeated items from the reference billing document.
How does it happened?
Can anybody give me some advice?
TKS!

Dear Stephen
It is a standard feature. The system calculates the difference between the amount that was originally calculated and the corrected amount for each item.
Once it has been approved, you can remove the block. The system creates a credit memo with reference to the invoice correction request. If the remaining amount is positive, the total value does not have a + sign, if the remaining amount is negative, the total value has a u2013 sign.
Two items are automatically created for each item from the invoice, to be copied for the invoice correction request:
- First: Credit item
- Second: Debit item

Invoice correction for debit & credit

Dear Experts,
I am doing debit correction with refernece to F2, this is working fine.
But customer has already raised credit correction with reference to F2 & account postings gone wrong it is showing debit to company & credit to customer. To correct this credit note customer want to raise debit notes with reference to G2.
So I am trying to do copy control with reference to G2 system is not allowing to do it is giving error
An invoice correction request must be created with ref. to an invoice.
Could any one guide me to resolve this issue? or how can we handle both credit & debit under invoice correction?
Thanks
Trupti

Never had a similar experience but you can try generating invoice correction request by referencing again the F2 billing reference. The other option is create a debit note directly referencing F2 billing reference
