Hi Henery
It is not required to cancel the Biling document even if it is done in the previous period.
But, you have to see whether your organisation follows Release procedure(approval step) or not.
If your organisation does not follow release procedure then you can create the Credit memo directly refering the Billing document.
But if your organisation follows Release procedure then, first you have to create a Credit memo request (Credit memo request can be created with ref to Sales order, Billing doc or even without ant ref).
From this Credit memo request you can create a Credit memo.

Cancellation Internal Credit memo is not posted into Accounting

Hello All,
We have a requirement where the cancellation internal credit memo is not posted into accounting. It is a inter company sales return process. After return delivery, client created the internal credit memo. But due to some problem they cancelled the internal credit memo. But now system is not posted the cancellation internal credit memo into accounting. I did my analysis and found that client is using same number range for internal credit memo and accounting document. When internal credit memo is created system is assign the same number range to accounting document because of external number range field is ticked in Fbn1 .But due to wrong number assignment in internal credit memo. So when they cancel the internal credit memo, this internal credit memo number range is coming within the accounting document number range.But client is insisting that anyhow the cancel inter credit memo should be posted to accounting.
I have tried a lot. but i could not reach out to any solution. Kindly help me on proving me a solution on this.
Regards
Soumendu

Dear Soumendu:
I had received this warning when the invoice was cleared. If you revert this process is possible to post the cancellation into accounting.
Please check the status of the invoice.

Invoicing: monitor Credit Memo and Invoicing posts

Hello,
Looking for an Invoice Management System expert. I would like to know the following two things.
1. On posting an 'incomming invoice' (with reference to a PO) in SRM this Invoice will be replicated to the R/3 back-end system. The back-end will and should use this invoice to follow-up the financial administrative process, how do they go about on this. The purchase order and Invoice will be posted to f.e. G/L 'Sources, with tax 19%'. What transaction do financial administrators use to book/post bank/liquid asset changes against these invoices?
2. Up on creating a credit memo, for example for 1 of the 2 line items that wern't delivered but where initially invoiced, do we need to create a Credit Memo in SRM with negative amounts or does the Credit Memo with positive amounts suffice (it will always be used as credit, positive doesn't mean it's debit)?
Kind regards,
Tim

Hello,
Subsequent Debit and Credits
After an Invoice is successfully posted and the transaction is completed, Vendor approaches with additional amount invoice or correction in Invoice.You would like to post this additional invoice with reference to the original PO and item. Subsequent Debit / Credit functionality allows you to capture this difference without canceling original invoice.

Go to T Code : VTFA - Copy control for Order to Billing...
Select the line G2 - Credit memo- CR - Credit memo request
Select the relevent item category G2N (from credit memo request)
Maintain Billing qty as = A - Order quantity less invoiced quantity

Hope this will solve your problem

Error in Releasing to Accounting for Rebate Credit Memo

Hi All,
I have a requirement to post from a credit memo rebate settlement an A/P posting document rather than
an A/R posting document (payment made against vendor rather than customer).
I am using the standard SAP user exit EXIT_SAPLV60B_008 to convert A/R document to A/P document.
In the internal table XACCIT, the following fields are changed in order to achieve the results above:
Accounting document type (BLART)
Posting Key (BSCHL)
G/L Account & P&L Account (HKONT)
Customer (KUNNR) - if filled, clear out
Vendor (LIFNR) - get from KNA1 table
Tax Code (MWSKZ)
Payment Terms (ZTERM) - get from KNB1 table
Tax Conditions (KTOSL)
Branch Details (FILKD) - if filled, clear out
The rebate credit memo have been generated but not able to release to accounting. When i try to release
to Accounting via VF02, the following error is generated:
'No Account is Specified for item 0000000001'.
All substitution seems to be complete. Could you let me know the possible cause of this so that I can further investigate on this issue.

No Account is Specified for item 0000000001
Normally system will throw this type of error if the corresponding billing document / credit memo does not have the Account Assignment Group of that customer. To check that go to VF02, key in the credit memo reference and execute. There click from top menu bar "Goto => Header => Header". There you can see a field "Account Assignment Group". Check whether it is blank. If so, press F and save.
It could also be due to improper of G/L Account assignment in VKOA

A/P credit memo journal incase of Purchase posting system

Hi,
I am using purchase posting system for one of my client
Some times while creating standalone A/P creditmemo the system is posting some amount to Price difference account
Why does the system do so? I have many credit memos which are posting correctly but a few are having Price difference account postings
Thanks
Md.nazeer Shaikh

Hi,
I have taken all the steps to block negative inventory at the warehouse level
My concern is when does the system posts the journal entry to Price difference account in case of creating standalone Credit memo
Is there anything new changes related to block the negative stock in 2007 then please do let me know.
I understand there is one setting in administration what if i set this as item setting,Company instead of warehouse
Thanks

Credit memo and subsequent GL account

Dear All,
I would like to clarify 3 point below.
when i do credit memo on full quantity, the double entry is hitting vendor and GRC account.
when i do credit memo on part quantity, the double entry hitting vendor GRC and stock account also.
when i do subsequent debit or credit, double entry hitting vendor and stock account.
1) May I know why credit memo, full quantity only hit GRC whereas part quantity hit GRC and stock?
2) May i know why subsequent debit/credit hitting stock account only?
3) credit memo must have to create return PO? without return PO can?
Thanks

Hi
credit memos and subsequent credits can be used to adjust the amount due to the vendor.
we usually receive a credit memo from a vendor if you where overcharged.
as in case of invoice .creit memo refer to purchase orders or good receipt
when you post credit memo,the total invoice quantity in the po history is reduced by the credit memo quantity.the maximum quantity you can make a credit for is the quanitty that has alredy ben invoiced.
During Credit Memo, It is making same accounting entires as it makes during Invoice posting

MIRO - Credit memo posted before invoice

Hello,
I have a problem with MIRO.
User is able to introduce credit memo to purchase order even if there was no invoice yet.
The strange thing is that when he introduce PO number in MIRO (credit memo) system issue a message __M8080 Reversal quantity greater than quantity invoiced to date__ and that is ok but after user will click on multi account assignment and get the same mesaage "Reverse qty greater than qty credited so far Message no. M8476" but after he close the pop up with account assignemnt and back to main screen there is no message M8080 any more and user is abl;e to post credit memo with negative quantity what finally issue ABAP error DYNPRO_FIELD_CONVERSION
Screen name.............. "SAPLMR1M"
Screen number............ 6310
Screen field............. "DRSEG-REMNG"
Error text............... "FX015: Sign lost.".
When I would like to display invoice (credit memo) in MIR4 or from ME23n history.
But the main question is why system clears message M8080 after clik on multi account assignement.?
Thanks in advance for your help.....

Hi,
THis is definetly a issue related to SAP Note.
Try this SAP note in dev.
Note 1332137 - MIR6/MIR4: Negative quantity with parked documents
Summary
Symptom
You use transaction MIR4 (Display Invoice Document) or MIR6 (Invoice Overview) to post a parked credit memo with reference to a purchase order.
You change the item quantity (MENGE) so that it is greater than the current invoice quantity (REMNG) and, without pressing "Enter", you immediately choose "Post". Even though the system executes the quantity check correctly, and error message M8 080 "Reversal quantity greater than quantity invoiced to date" is displayed in the message log, the system unexpectedly allows this credit memo to be posted.
As a result, when you display or create invoice documents for this purchase order, the ABAP short dump DYNPRO_FIELD_CONVERSION occurs.
Solution
The Support Packages for Releases 4.70, 5.00, 6.00, 6.02, 6.03 and 6.04 correct this error.
If you require an advance correction: Implement the correction instructions.
Hope this will resolve your query,

Generating both 'G2' and 'IG' billing docs from a single credit memo req.

We have a need to generate both a 'G2' (customer credit memo) and an 'IG' (inter-company credit memo) from a single Credit Memo Request.
Is this possible with config and/or user exits in R/3 4.7?
<u>Background</u>
We have cases where all sales by a given Sales Org. (related to Company 'A') are supplied by plant(s) related to Company 'B'. When a standard order is processed through billing, both an 'F2' (customer invoice) and an 'IV' (inter-company invoice) are generated, with the value of the 'IV' derived from the value of the 'F2'.
In the event that there was a pricing error on the 'F2', we are required to create a Credit Memo Request, which leads to a 'G2' (customer credit memo) correcting the customer's account.
We want to be able to also generate an 'IG' (inter-company credit memo) from this same Credit memo Request to adjust the 'Sales Org's account').

Hi
Customer credit memo is created with reference to Customer credit memo request
Internal credit memo is created with reference to customer returns delivery.
so process the flow
Credit memo request -->returns delivery
Credit memo request-->customer credit memo(order releated)
Returns delivery-->internal credit memo.(as internal credit memo is delivary related)
Let me know if issues exists,
Reward if this helps

Credit memo for Balance sheet account

We have a balance in account XXX (Description- Other: accrued expenses & prepaid income, nwc, out) that we need to be able to deplete through a credit memo to a customer.
Customer prepaid for material and once a month we issue a credit memo based on an internal calcuation to refund that repayment. How do assign a specific account assignment to a credit memo, so that the credit memo is not posted to a Sales credit account.

It seems to me like an accounting and business misunderstanding of the business process. When you do the Goods issue to the Cost Center it means that the Cost Center is consuming those materials, they are issues to "production process" and in this case you naturally debiting the P&L account (with a cost element category 1).
If your concept is about "designated Cost Center stock" this means simply moving materials between two stock locations that has no impact in financial accounting. There is no such thing in standard SAP as designated Cost Center stock.
You can have a special stock for SD order and for WBS-element (project stock), and in this case it is reflected with a BS account (and a cost element category 90) at WBS-element.
If you need designated "Cost Center" stock you have two possible options:
1. Create a storage locations
2. Create a project and utilize a designated project stock (having "mapped" your WBS-elements to Cost Centers)

A/R Credit Memo -- G/L Account

Hi All,
when i am adding an A/R Credit memo into the B1 system the error message appearing as follows :
"A/R Credit Memo - Document Number, G/L Account is missing"
What could be the reason ?
thanks
Venkat

The G/L Account the Credit Memo transaction looks for is the Sales Credit Account
Please check if in Admini > Setup > Financials > G/L Account Determination > Sales Tab...Sales Credit Account has been defined.
This G/L setting is copied to the Warehouses Accounting Tab / Item Group Accounting Tab depending on how your Set G/L Accounts By is set in System Init > General Settings > Inventory Tab
Based on this, if it is Warehouse based you will need to chech the warehouse definition accounting tab of the warehouse you are creating your Credit Memo on or if it Item Group then check the Item Groups Accounting tab of the Item group of the Items on your your Credit Memo.

G/L account is missing error when try to add AP Credit Memo

Dear All Experts,
we are facing problem in adding A/P Credit memo, which is made based upon AP Invoice.
Error is :- [A/P Credit Memo - Whse Status] , 'G/L account is missing (1)' [Message 131-46]
Can any one know why this problem is coming?
Regards,

Hi,
If the item is not an inventory item but a sales item, check if the particular item belongs to an Item Group.
If Yes then go to Administration -> Setup -> Inventory -> Item Group
Move to the Item Group where your item belongs to and under the Accounting tab, check whether the Account names are defined with Account codes.
Thanx.
