Credit Memo Process Issue

Hi,
1) SAP allows credit memo to be created with reference to credit memo request and with reference to an invoice. In what what scenarios we should give option of creating credit memo with reference to invoice and in what scenario we should give option of creating credit memo with reference to credit memo request?
>>> You raised invoice to customer say value is $ 100, Now due to some resons (Returns,price change etc) you want to give credit (u want to charge $ 90 insted of $100), Then you can create credit memo with refrance to invoice,
Now again u want to change this credit memo, then credit memo to credit memo refrance can be used
2) Whlie creating a credit memo request with reference to an invoice is there a way to restrict that the value or quantity of credit memo request should not exceed the value and quanity of referenced invoice
3) Whlie creating a credit memo directly with reference to an invoice is there a way to restrict that the value or quantity of credit memo should not exceed the value and quanity of referenced invoice.
>>> As std is availbale it will give you warning masage only.

Cancellation of Goods Receipt with Credit Memo Transaction Issue

Dear SAP Expert and Guru,
Normally cancellation of goods receipt cannot be done when invoice has been issued. Cancellation of Goods receipt can only be done when there is the credit memo being issued in MIRO.
The problem now is that is there any table that can tracked the linkage between Credit Memo and the Cancellation of Goods receipt?
The goods receipt with the invoice linkage can be found in both table EKBE and BKPF. But not the credit memo and cancellation of Goods receipt.
Thank you
Regards
Leonard Tan

Dear Jeya and SAP expert and Gurus,
You are correct, but with the document number, how am I going to get the Cancellation of GR document?
In table BKPF and EKBE. With the invoice number (34*******) then pass it to table BKPF to get the invoice number (52*******),
Then get the invoice number (52*******) pass it to table EKBE to get the Goods Receipt document (61*******).
However, this only can track the transaction goods receipt and Invoice but not the credit memo with cancellation of goods receipt.
Kindly asvise on that.
Thank you
Regards
Leonard Tan

Credit Memo process in 3rd party order

Hello All,
Once 3rd party invoice is completed process as follows: (standard process)
sale order --> Purchase Requisition --> Purchase Order --> Goods Receipt --> Invoice Verification --> Customer Invoice.
When you post the customer invoice to accounting, in general system will update
1.Net Value 2. COGS (Cost of goods sold) 3. Sales Qty.
Now the scenario is when the vendor cancel his original invoice and reissue the invoice (due to change in price / change in stock item and so on..),
We have to cancel the customer invoice and issue credit memo invoice (without any reference) for the customer.
But the problem here is.. when we post the credit invoice to accounting, COGS will not be updated (currently they are adjusting COGS value manually).
How can we map this scenario ? while creating credit memo invoice we should consider some reference so that COGS should be updated.

Hello Suresh,
THERE ARE TWO SCENARIOS HERE.
Scenario is when the vendor cancel his original invoice and reissue the invoice (due to change in price / change in stock item and so on..),We have to cancel the customer invoice and issue credit memo invoice (without any reference) for the customer.
> IF THE VENDOR GRANTS YOU A CREDIT MEMO ON THE QUANTITY OR VALUE BASIS, YOU CAN DIRECTLY PASS ON THIS TO CUSTOMER BY RAISING CREDIT MEMO (THIRD PARTY CREDIT MEMO IS G2S), THIS WORKS WITH ITEM CATEGORY 'TASG' (THIRD PARTY CREDIT MEMO ITEM). THE SALES RELEVANT INDICATOR ' F' IS SET IN CUSTOMISING FOR SALES FOR THIS ITEM CATEGORY. THIS MEANS THAT THE COST IS NOT CREATED.
--->IF THE VENDOR CALCULATES ADDITIONAL COSTS FOR YOU ONCE THE THIRD PARTY BUSINESS TRANSACTIONS HAVE ALREADY BEEN BILLED. THE COSTS FROM THE INVOICE RECEIPT ARE THEN CORRECTED IN THE CUSTOMER BILLING DOCUMENT WHICH HAVE ALREADY BEEN CREATED. SUBSEQUENT DEBITS FROM THE INVOICE RECEIPTS ARE COPIED TO PROFITABILITY ANALYSIS AS A DIFFERENCE AMOUNT. THIS MEANS THAT THE COST IS UPDATED HERE ALSO. IN ACCRUED PROFITABILITY ANALYSIS, THE COSTS ARE NOT COPIED FROM THE INVOICE RECEIPT, BUT FROM THE CUSTOMER BILLING DOCUMENT.
EXAMPLE:In the context of a third-party business transaction, you create a sales order for over 100 pieces.
A purchase requisition and a purchase order are generated. Ten pieces are delivered to the customer, and a billing document is then sent to the customer when the 10 pieces are delivered. The vendor sets a subsequent debit of 100 USD for shipping costs in the invoice. The cost is nowupdated in the billing document created, and in the profitability analysis (in this case, it is raised
by 100 USD).

Credit Memo Processing

Hello!
I will start out by apologizing up front if I waste anyone's time with this inquiry!
This is more of a how should we be doing it out of the box issue.
First a little background - we are a gold company that has been using Oracle applications since 1991.Currently we use Payables, Inventory, Purchasing, GL, HR/Payroll, EAM, FA, iExpense, iProcurement and probably a few others I have forgotten.
Currently when we pay an invoice in accounts payables and then an item is returned to a vendor from our warehouse, Ap gets a credit invoice back from that vendor providing credit info. They go ahead and adjust the invoice on the Ap side, then send an email to purchasing and to the receivers in our warehouse handling the inventory. The receivers in the warehouse un-receive the item and the buyers go in and adjust their line items on that PO.
This is very cumbersome and our warehouse supervisors' feeling is that this process puts unnecessary burden on our receivers.
I am curious how others handle credit memos - I also have logged an SR with Oracle support to see if I can get a "this is how its suppose to work" synopsis to see if we are even processing credit memos correctly and if so what modules you need to make it all work - even if its to point me to good white paper or document on it.
I also would like to know if anyone has automated this. We are currently working in 11.5.10 but are upgrading to 12 within 2 years so I am curious to find out if r12 resolves anything for us.
Any info is greatly appreciated

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.

ERROR MESSAGE M8 534 during MR8M, Cancel CREDIT MEMO PROCESSING

Dear Experts,
Kindly explain me what is the actual meaning for the message "Balance not Zero: 4,487.00 - debits : 54,487.00 Credits : 50,000.00"
The above message has been received during cancel Credit memo document through MR8M.
Kindly help me out to proceed further..Thanks in advance..
Regards,
Kumar

Hello Kumar,
This problem usually occurs due to differences in tax amount
The source document was posted in a previous period.After this, the tax rate was changed (this is allowed in countries with tax jurisdiction code).The reversal document should be posted in the current period.When canceling the source document, the tax is calculated on account of the entered posting date and differs from the original tax amount.
If the posting period of the source document is opened:
-   Post the reversal document with posting date of the source document.
If the posting period of the source document is closed:
- Open this posting period and post the reversal document with the posting date of the source document. If you do no   longer   want to open the previous period, you can only post   a credit memo in this case.However, a different tax amount is calculated here if, as described above, the tax rates have been changed in the meantime.
Hope this can help
Regards,
Mauro

Credit Memo Processing- FB75 and F-30 or F-26

Hello Folks-
I need some help. When I execute FB75 against a sales tax code, I have no problem and it posts the document. When I execute F-30 or F-26 and try to hit the same code using a 40 posting key, it is requiring a tax code and tax jurisdiction which I have but it is requiring "enter base amount or let the system calculate it". When I try to manipulate it by entering the amount in the base amount field I get the following error message"Tax Code 01 may only contain one assignment."
What am I doing wrong here? Why can't I use the same tax code and jurisdiction in another transaction code? In addition, is this the best t-code to use when handling credit memo's. I had heard there is a t-code out there that requires the user to input an invoice number to clear against but I haven't found it.
Any help would be appreciated. I will award points!
Thanks!

Hi Michael,
I am no finance expert, for a start and i dont want to repeat again and again the idea of creating transaction variants (i see in quite a few threads that the experts seem to have a penchant for this and personally it is my least preferred option
Anyway, coming to the discussion - i would prefer having more granular transactions as Julius mentioned
Go to SE38, enter the program name SAPMF05A (this is what is called when FB05 is used) then click on the where used list (CtrlShiftF3), de-select all options and select the option for transactions, you will get a list of transactions that use the program and it lists the granular transactions for FB05 (ex: FB60 for Incoming Invoices)
I would like to think, that we can restrcit the access to different "Buttons" based on a few basic principles (it is only a idea, i didnt try it) The different radio buttons signify different activities Accounts payable & Accounts receivable, so it should be for customers and Vendors - make a restriction on the account types (F_BKPF_KOA) in the role that has FB05, you can also make restriction on what kind of documents are processsed based on the document types (F_BKPF_BLA) used in FB05 - that could be a option, Ideally the customer invoices would be a different document type than the vendor invoices, isnt it?
There is no harm in giving it a try - so go ahead and try in the Development system. see how it goes..............
Good luck and dont shoot me if it doesnt work (or) if you already tried all these options

Order related inter company credit memo - Order status 'Not Invoiced'

Hi,
We have recently created 'Order related inter company credit memo' process for return Stock Transport Orders(STO). For this, we used order related billing (billing relevance = C i.e. Relevant for ord.-related billing - status acc.to target qty) with standard item category 'G2N'. The issue is even after invoicing, sales order item status is 'Not Invoiced' and header status is 'Open', hence these orders are picked up multiple times during background invoice run and multiple invoices are being created.
How do we control the 'Completion' status in order related inter company billing? VBUP-FKSAA is not changed even after billing document creation and remains as A i.e. Not yet processed. Do i need to check VBUP-FKIVP since this is inter company billing.
I have also tried with TVAP-FKREL as 'B' i.e. Relevant for order-related billing - status according to order quantity but of no use.
Please advise.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ganesh

HI,
Check too the Note 308989 - Consultant note for cross-company transactions
It says:
I.1.5 Returns request (IR) - returns delivery - customers credit memo -
intercompany credit memo (IG) (RETURNS)
The customer credit memo is created for the returns request and the
intercompany credit memo is created for the returns delivery.

SUS Invoice created in R/3 instead of Credit memo

Experts !!
I am able to create credit memo in SUS, the XML message InvoiceRequest_Out does get generated in SUS, but unfortunate to get the Invoice document generated in R/3 instead of Credit memo.
I also see that the SUS XML has a tag <CancellationInvoiceIndicator>false</CancellationInvoiceIndicator> which I belive should be TRUE in the case of credit memo.
Any help would be highly appreciated. It would be great if someone can sharewith me the detail setup steps to get the credit memo in SUS working. I would like to crosscheck my settings.
Thanks,
-Devi Swain

Hello,
We are implementing SUS. We are facing issues in Credit memo processing through SUS though Invoice gets posted properly.
Could you please share the steps that you had done to get the credit memo process working?
Thanks
