Reference document number field on Invoice line item

Can anyone please tell me , where in customization , do i define what should get copied in the reference document number field on the line item of an invoice.
Currently in our system, credit memo request number is getting populated for a credit memo.
Thank you for your help in advance.

Hi,
If you are talking about line item level, then it is called Allocation Number. At the header level, it is called Reference number.
This is controlled using the copy control for billing - at the header level control.
The reference number & allocation number once maintained in the configuration, will show up in the Accounting doc - header level & item level, respectively.
For example - if the customer payment always refers to his PO number, then it really helps to use the allocation number for the accounting doc line items - which helps in clearing incoming payment faster. In this case, the reference number could be our delivery number. This is one of the examples for using both Ref & allocation #'s.
Hope, this helps!

Free item reference document number not populated in MIGO item screen

Hi
I have a requirement where in I would need to populate the reference document number in the MIGO item when I am cancelling a goods receipt in case of free items.
In standard SAP system we know that it would only be populated when GRbased IV is ticked in PO but in free item PO this is not ticked . So was enquiring if any body knows how we could populate the reference document number at GR cancellation in MIGO item level for free items .

Hi,
If you mean the field MSEG-SMBLN, then it is always populated at cancellation, no matter the GR-based IV flag.

EBS - Reference document number search for clearing open item

Dear Experts,
I am currently implementing EBS with MT 940 stattement for bank reconciliation.I want to clear open item, for out going cheque, during posting by reference field (XBLNR) where cheque number maintained.As per MT 940 statement this cheques number is mentioned in 86 line as follow
:61:1102280228DR19961,NCHK682486 //51070
:86:47558011XYZ ROAD
But when I import bank statement, system recognise 682486 as reference field which is in 61 line and clears the open item.
my requirement is for outgoing check system should recognise 86 line reference and other direct payment or inter bank transfer, system should consider 61 line reference.
I have created different posting rule for Outgoing check and direct payment/Inter bank transfer.
I tried to find such issue in forum but did not found any help.
If need to use search string then how to configure for this and what algorithm to be used for the same.
looking for solution

Can you explain what is your requirement..?
Do you want to correct the data in the report..?
Or it is effecting your availability control and you want to correct it..?
Or you want to trace a deleted document..? Which is not possible...

Posting incoming payments by invoice/line item or BOL number

Hi all. We have some customers who no longer pay us by full invoice number. They are paying by individual piece number received. The A/R line item layout for posting payments includes mahy choices, but I cannot find the invoice ITEM number, only the invoice number. Further, if the customer pays by BOL number, I do not know how to get the corresponding BOL number to show on the A/R line item layout for posting payments. This has become a critical situation and taking much time for our A/R clerk to match up and clear invoices. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Janet Kuck

Hi
Posting in AR happens for the individual Document and not by individual line item and hence you were not able to locate line item wise details for clearing purpose. If you can have the BOL number copied to the text field and include the text field in the clearing screen, this will resolve to some extent.

Enter manually reference document number in Invoice Header

Hi gurus,
In order to keep a proper numerical sequence of invoices issued in the Company ( between those that are printed in excel and in SAP), we need to set manually a number in the SAP invoice document that we will use to print the form, and that is independent from the one assigned internally.
What would be the best field to set this number?
Reference number (in Header - Accounting data) would be a good choice, but seems like it is managed through copy control and can only be assigned automatically to: Customer PO #, Sales order #, Delivery #, External delivery # and current invoice #. Would it be possible to assigned it manually?
thanks for your always valuable ideas,
VL

Thank you Ken for your answer,
The thing is that we need to transfer this field to accounting, this is why t¡he best choice would be the reference document number.
External range number is not a feasible option because it is required an internal number assignment but the one to be painted in the form and transferred to accounting has to be entered manually in the invoice header.
It is not so easy to enter reference document number manually as it has a copy control assignment as commented in my first note.
Any help would be very appreciated.
Thanks,
VL

Open the field purchase document number in vendor invoice

Hi,
I've to open the purchase document number field in the vendor invoice transaction (FB60) for the reconciliation vendor account?
I've done these operations in customizing:

Could you suggest me how to open the field?
Tks!
Regards,

Copy fields during vendor line item transfer posting

Hi,
We want to transfer the vendor invoice line item to a special GL indicator line item. Would like to know how to copy the fields like document date, net due date, Reference field, Purchasing document number from the original invoice line item to newly created line item.
Regards
Suresh

Hi,
you could use a batch recording (BDC) through which this can be achieved.
check if the fields you require are available in the posting key for SPL GL .document date, net due date, Reference field, Purchasing document number else open up the field in field status group for Posting key and GL account.

Assignment Field In Customer Line Item While Credit Note - SD

When Invoice is been Generated through SD , assignment field in Customer Line item is getting SD Invoice number.
But while Generating Credit Note through SD , it is taking Customer
Account number in teh same field. What could be the reason ?
We need Credit memo number in the said field.
thanks in advance.

Visu
These configurations come from the copy controls. In the Copy controls you need to assign the correct requirements, allocation number and the reference number. For the copy controls for your crredit memo document, you need to change it similar to your billing document settings. The transaction code for this is VTFA and VTFL. Hope this helps.
I found a similar thread for your reference in the SDN.
Assignment Field - Accounting Document
Let me know if you need anything else on the same.

Format of reference document number is invalid Message no. 8A556

Dear Expert,
I have problem while executing transaction Manual Posting incoming invoice with t-code FB60. The error message shown as written above "Format of reference document number is invalid Message no. 8A556"
I have check the customizing on document type and number range, they are all standard SAP, nothing strange as far my concern.
Could any one give any idea on this problem.
Thanks in advance

Dear Experts,
I have tried to investigate this problem but still have no solution for doc. type KR (Posting vendor invoice)
During investigation on this problem, I did a simulation posting using document type other than KR (assign manually) either by t-cod FB60 or F-02 or F-43, I chose doc. type KA and SA, there is no error when using this doc type, it create Accounting document and Tax line item also appear.
From the simulation I did with this problem, the problem seems on Document type KR (default doc. type for Vendor Invoice). I suspect, it might some setting at other modul likely at MM that control the "Reference" field during document entry... eventhough this field is not set as mandatory at OBA7, it's still saying the same error message.
Is there anyone have any ideas about problem in document type KR?
Thanks in advance

Length of Reference document number (BKPF-XBLNR)

Hello Experts,
I have a serious problem on the length of FI reference document number (BKPF-XBLNR).
As you know, it is 16 digits, but, we have some invoices with more than 16 digits.
Is there any way to extend the length of this field?
Otherwise, if someone had similar cases, please let me know how you deal with this problem.
Thanks in advance for your help.
BR,
Chris Kim

Dear Gladys,
Thank you for your update.
I have expected not to extend this field because it is SAP standard.
Speaking of coding block, is there any way to create new coding block for document header not line item?
Thanks again.

To split the payment document value as per the line items of the P O

To split the payment document value as per the line items of the purchase order in the period of payment, so that the payment amounts are measured against the Capex order assigned as account assignment in the purchase order.(Account assignment tab for the individual line item in the PO.
Example:
Inputs:
Purchase Order 3100012345, line item 10 value 6000 line item 20 value 4000
VAT @10% , account assignment for PO line item 10(Internal Order no 10001) & line item 20 Internal Order 10002) G/ R no 5105105101 for Rs10,000.
The I/R doc 501501501 appears as follows: (MIRO)
Line 10: Value      Rs   6,000
        20: Value      Rs   4,000
VAT                        Rs      600
                       Rs      400
Total                       Rs11, 000
Withholding Tax Rs 1,100
The accounting entry for MIRO happens as follows: doc 2102102101
GR/IR Dr      Rs 10,000
VAT      Dr     Rs   1.000
Vendor    Cr           Rs9, 900
TDS due   Cr          Rs1, 100
The business expects the payment report as follows:payment doc 2001200101
PO     Line item      Internal Order MIRO        Invoice                       Payment       Payment period Amount
                                                                                A/c doc number        doc number
3400012345     10     10001           5605605601 2102102101           2001200101       001/2009           5940
3400012345     20     10002     5605605601     2102102101           2001200101        001/2009          3960
Currently we are able to show the amounts as Rs 6000 for line item 10 & Rs 4000 for line item 20.
The problems faced.
1.     The VAT line items are auto created, hence the reference of purchase order number and line item are not available. So the VAT portion which is part of payment liability does not get reflected against the PO.(not able to show the VAT portion , when we try to show the payment amount per PO line item.)
2.     The withholding tax is also a problem; WHT is not calculated and assigned per line item. It is calculated on the total amount of basic and VAT. Because of these reasons, the payment could not be shown properly according to the line item of the purchase order.
3.     When part payment is made, against invoices, there is no provision to assign a payment amount against a particular line item. Further, when final payment is made in different period, the clearing document will get generated. That adds to the complexity of differentiating full payments and part payments final clearing.
4.     When residual payment is made, a new line item is created. Here assignment of Purchase order line item against payment for residual items become a problem.
5.     Many a times advance payments are made. Later the invoice is created and balance payment is made. In those situations, the clearing document creates one more line item and makes payment for the balance item. This adds complexity in bringing balance payment alone and to split as per the purchase order line item. The clearing document number system is multi dimensional. It creates two line items for the same item (one at the time of advance and another the time of clearing.)
6.     When full payment is made, the payment document number and clearing document numbers are same. In cases of subsequent or partial or residual payment, the document numbers are different. Because of this, the part payment amounts are shown in the period, where the final payment and clearing are made.
Please suggest a way to split the payment amount in the exact posting period with all the considerations given above.
Regards
Sundararajan

Hi,
See Note 301077 - User exits for the interface to accounting, although I think that there isn't this kind of option. Note 429117 - Collective note advice note SD-FI interface will be useful too.
I think that SAP Note 1085921 - Document split perhaps will help you

Post non PO invoice line items using INVOIC01 and FM IDOC_INPUT_INVOIC_MRM

hello there SAP folks,
Have an interesting question for all of you. We currently have a partner through whom we use the IDOC_INPUT_INVOIC_MRM Function module to pass invoices. Now there are multiple line items some times [multi E1EDP01 / E1EDP02] segments which all refer to the same PO but to different line items on the PO. Now all that is well.
For one particular partner we now have the following requirement. We are going to have the same condition as above, with the added condition that there are going to be some invoice line items with no reference to a PO. the reason is that the vendor is going to calculate the different taxes and send them to us. so when we post the invoice :
we will now have
31 Vendor
40 GR/IR
40 Tax 1
40 Tax 2
50 Tax 3 offset
instead of
31 vendor
40 GR/IR
to deal with the new situation I tried adding having the following
first E1EDP02 is going to refer to the PO using qualifier 001, but second E1EDP02 [for tax] s not going to have a qualifier 001. When I do that i get a missing belnr (001) and zeile (001) error.the exact error message is the following
Required field BELNR(001) is missing in segment E1EDP02
Required field ZEILE(001) is missing in segment E1EDP02
Message no. FD070
Now to bypass that, I added the 001 qualifier for the second E1EDP02 [tax part] and now the error that I get is either the PO is duplicated or if i put some dummy PO number, then it says PO cannot be found.
=======
so the question is how is it possible to post 4 items in the idoc , with one being a PO reference and 3 non PO reference using INVOIC01 and IDOC_INPUT_INVOIC_MRM
I also have to add that it is possible to add a non PO items to the MM invoice in MIRO by entering the additional tax lines using the g/l account tab next to the PO reference tab.

nvm.
