Credit memo referencing

Hi Gurus,
I know that cr memo can be created with reference to a Billing doc or a cr memo request which reference either a billing doc or an order.
What i am unclear is the way of describing the referencing.
Cases:
1. Cr memo creation with reference to a billing doc : in this case, the billing doc is the reference doc.
2. Cr memo creation with reference to a cr memo request : in this case, what is the right way to describe it?
Is it :
Cr memo creation with reference to a cr memo request : in this case, a cr memo can be referenced to a Sales document or to a billing document. But the sales doc and billing docs are before the cr memo request.
OR
Cr memo creation with reference to a cr memo request : in this case, a cr memo can be referenced to a cr memo request which is a sales doc type. Which means we can also say a cr memo can be referenced to a sales doc (cr memo request).
So, my doubt is , when describing which is the reference doc, can i confirm that it is always talking about the immediate preceding doc  and not preceding docs earlier than that?
Last but not least, in a Returns scenario,  cr memo is created with reference to the Returns order although there is a delivery doc created .  In this case, I can say that cr memo is created with reference to an order that is the returns order.
Please advise.
Regards
M Russo

Dear Russo
Firstly, we need to be very clear about 'returns' & 'reversals' entries/postings.
Then, we can map however we want  in the copy control settings & do the relavant postings.
Returns order is created when  a customer RETURNS the goods for whatsoever reasons.
This follow with Returns delivery, PGR (post goods receipt) & returns invoice.
The best practice is to create credit memo request wrt original commercial invoice.
Then create credit memo wrf this credit memo request.
Reversals is different.
meaning, literally 'reversing' the postings, entries, movements, etctc....
Hope I made things clear.

  • Importing AP Credit memo  Referenced to an Invoice with DTW

    Hi everyone, im trying to import thru DTW an AP Credit Memo applied to a Service AP Invoice but i keep getting "Internal Error [-2010] ocurred Application-Defined or Object-Defined error 65171".
    The AP invoice has Doctotal $ 99,732.00 but the linetotal was 5859.05 by mistake so there is a discount percentage of 1367.40, what fields are mandatory in the Credit memo template?

    Hi,
    The easiest way to do this by copying from the AP Invoice if you have only few invoice need to be Credited. If you need DTW, only the BaseEntry, BaseType and Base line are required for line file.
    Thanks,

  • Create Credit Memo referenced to Billing Document - Condition Types

    Hello,
    I need help on this particular situation, your help would be greatly appriciated.
    I try to create a Credit Memo(VA01) with reference to the Billing Document, but I don't want to see on my Credit Memo a particular Condition Type from the Billing Document. Configuration solution or ABAP solution? and how?
    What the system does now is, it copies all the Condition Types from the Billing Document to the newly created Credit Memo.
    Thank you all

    Hi,
    Create a new pricing procedure without the condition type you donot wish to appear in the credit note. create/ use a different document pricing procedure for the credit note, do the required assignments.. this will meet the requirements

  • Referencing invoice vs. sales order in credit memo

    Can someone please explain to me why one would create a credit memo referencing an invoice as opposed to a sales order? What would the business scenario be for this case?
    Thanks,

    Because Invoice is the official document for transactions. Your customer has got the original invoice and not sales order. So while sending Credit/Debit note print to customer you need to mention the invoice no. on it. It becomes easy to print invoice no.
    Also, always order and invoice may not have 1:1 relationship.
    There may be cases that ordered quantity and price and that of invoice varies. Invoice quantity, price, terms are considered as final.
    Thanks

  • Copy credit memo refenced to invoice one time

    Hi gurus,
    When i create credit memo with reference to an Invoice, the system allows create several credit memos referenced to 1 invoice.
    Requirement: We need the system allows the creation only for one time (the first time).
    Thanks

    hi,
    there is another way of doing this.
    converting that information or warning message into error message.
    when ever you are creating credit memo for the second time with reference to invoice which you have already taken as refereence.
    double click the message and note the message number with that in the program it will be W or I message.
    please convert it to E - error message - REFERENCE ALREADY TAKEN ONCE.

  • Copy a sales order to creade a sales order credit memo request

    Hi,
    I copied a sales order from i.e. 100.000 (type ZMA) to another one i.e. 200.000 (type ZCMR), the last one is a Credit Memo Request.
    Now when I try to create the credit memo by VF01 for the sales order 200.000, I'm getting the error message: ZCMR ZPOS cannot be invoiced with billing type ZCM.
    I would create the credit memo from the sales order type ZCMR
    Is this possible ?
    Best Regards

    Hi,
    In general the Credit memo request would be created referncing the Invoice. 
    In your case, you have mentioned that credit memo request is created a Sale order. Not sure of the specific scenario if you have any,
    on point 2, yes,  you may create Credit memo referencing the Credit memo request.
    In all places, check for the copy controls from the preceding document to the successing one.
    If this helps,  Text Removed

  • How to change Net Due Date in case of Credit Memo..

    Hi Experts,
    In our system currently when we create credit memo using tcode FB75 system makes the invoive due immediately.
    We wanted to make this net due date dependent on payment terms given by us. Please let me know how can I achieve this..
    Please let me know if there is any user exit there or the configration path to achieve this...
    Regards,
    Vidya

    This is a standard SAP functionality. Usually a credit memo is referenced to an invoice and if you don't have a reference to an invoice SAP would consider that credit memo as due immediatly.
    If you have an invoice to be referenced to this credit memo enter the invoice number in the invoice reference field in FB75 > payment tab and then enter the payment term. If you don't have an invoice reference enter V  in the invoice reference field and then the payment term, system will calculate net due date based on payment term.

  • Exice tax in case of credit memo's

    Hi All,
                 I have a scenario where in we are  supplying some matrrials to our customers . This material also has the federal excise tax which we charge in the form of a condition type and which is charged on the unit price of the material .
    For Ex ;
    Material ABC - PR00 - $ 100
    Excise tax - (XYZ) - $ 2.00
    My business user says that whenever they supply materials to their customers (say 10 quantity ) , they initially suply through a sales order which is a very normal scenario.
    Assuming that the end user uses only 5 out of the 10, my business creates a credit memo for the remaining 5 on the end user . This is the present process.
    But since my business says that they will pay back only the tax part to the end user and not the unit price of the material ( $ 100 in the above example for remaining 5 qts) , they don't want to issue a credit memo with the material ABC( since it has  the unit price + tax ) in  the sales order .
    My business is coming up with a suggestion saying that we can create a dummy material ( say XXXX) and add this as a second line item in the sales order . And against this dummy material the excise amount will be charged . This is because they feel that whenever they create a credit memo they will use this dummy material (XXXX)and not the original material ( ABC) . They say they have some SoX compliance issues.
    The above idea seems to be meaning less and sensless to me as this is not the best practice and secondly since this is a dummy material , I will get into problems maintaining stock and  while doing a delivery ,PGI etc ...
    My question to the forum is that , is there a way where in if I create a credit memo to  the customer , I must be paying back only the tax amount (XYZ) and not the entire amount ( base price + tax).
    To Illustrate the above example:
    The original sales order will have netvalue of ($1000 ( $100 * 10)
    Excise tax as ($ 2*10 ) = $ 20
    so When I create the credit memo for the 5 unused quantities I should pay the end user only $10 ($2 * 5).
    I am not sure whether (creating a Invoice correction request RK, will solve this issue).
    I need some really good recommendations to handle the above scenario.
    Thanks

  • Credit Memo through Open Interface in AP

    Hi,
    I need to create a credit memo through 'Payables Open Interface Import' program. It also needs to populate 'Credited Invoice' number with the standard invoice number (which is again created through the Open Interface).
    Issues:
    1) Which filed in AP_INVOICES_INTERFACE should be populated to hold the 'Credited Invoice' number ?
    2) Both standard invoice and credit memo invoice are created through single lauch of 'Payables Open Iterface' program. So, referred standard invoice will be in 'Never valdiated' status by the time credit memo is created. But 'Credited Invoice' takes only validated standard invoice numbers. So, do not know how it works out.
    Any inputs on this would be highly helpful !
    Thanks in Advance!
    regards,
    Mukthi.

    Hi,
    You'll find the relationship using:
    select cm.trx_number, trx.trx_number
    from ra_customer_trx_all cm,
    ra_customer_trx_all trx
    where cm.previous_customer_trx_id = trx.customer_trx_id
    When you create an on-account credit memo (both open receivable or not), apps stores the credited transaction id in the column previous_customer_trx_id of the created credit memo.
    You create on-account credit memos by creating referenced RMAs or in transactions form, by going to Actions->Credit.
    Hope it helps,

  • Credit Memo with reference

    Dear All,
    I have a requriement where Credit memo will be created against multiple invoice reference
    but amount will be copy in single line from VBRK-NETWR for all refenced bills.
    I have sarched in furum and found that it is not possible I have to copy items from referenced
    invoices and then proceed for credit memo.Plz revert if this is possible in SAP standared configuration.
    regards,
    sps.

    Retro Billing is used when you go for mass change of Base Pricing Condition Type  in Billing doc(complete) based on Sold-to party & Material for a given range Billing date from & to. To do this you need agreement of your customer, and accordingly you make necessary changes in  Base Pricing Condition Type  condition record. Thus, retro billing is not at all relevant for the requirement.
    Whereas, invoice creation request will have line item, one for Credit and one for Debit. If there are several corrected items, the system cumulates the values of all the items and calculates a total value. And based on your requirement you need to manually change either debit or credit line item amount. Based on the difference of these item the Credit (postive diff) or Debit memo (Negative diff) will be proposed by system. And you can have multiple reference.

  • Create Credit Memo with Reference to Multiple Documents

    Hi.  I have the challenge of Creating a Credit Memo via VA01 referencing Multiple Billing Documents.  Anyone know any tricks to be able to reference Multiple Billing Documents in batch? 
    Cheers,

    Hi Kamlesh,
    I think except for the Sold-to-party (which ensures same account assignment group, ur 5th point) all other can be modified in VA01. From the Billing Date of Ref Inv it takes the "pricing date" if they are different then "invoice splitting" happens for the credit / Debit memo request. Similar thing happen in case of different "terms of payment", "Inco Term" etc.
    Thanks,

  • Vendor Ref. Number from A/P Invoice & Credit Memo in the Check PLD Form

    Hi Guys,
    We have standard PLD layout form for the Check Document. In our case the Check Document based on the outgoing payment and outgoing payment referenced on A/P Invoice and Credit Memo documents.
    Is there someone who knows how to get "Vendor Ref. Number" (NumAtCard) field from A/P Invoice and Credit Memo in the Cheque form?
    Any ideas will be appreciated.
    Thanks so much,
    Sergey

    Hi Nagarajan,
    Thanks a lot for your answer! Yes, you are absolutely right, the variable number for this field was #100.
    Unfortunately, this solution worked partially for us. In our case, we also needed to specify a "Document Date" (Tax Date) for the ref. document and there was a problem, because we could not find SAP variable number for this (I don't know if this exists?)
    In the final, I just related "OJDT" to "VPM2" table and after that I have got my "TaxDate" field.
    So we are good now.
    In addition, maybe you know where can I get a variable numbers catalogue or something like that?
    Thanks,
    Sergey

  • Message V1478 - Credit memo request with reference to an invoice

    Dear all,
    Creating a credit memo request with reference to an invoice, I get the following message "Material in item 000060 does not exist in plant/storage location".
    Of course, this material exists in the plant and the storage location, as we could create the invoice without any problem.
    Any idea?
    Best regards,
    Iné

    Hello
    Generally, these errors may appear due to:
    - The plant is marked for deletion.
    - The plant should be copied from the referenced item.
    So, I would suggest you to
    - Check copying control for Invoice to Credit memo request, particularly, item.
    - Try and create Credit Memo Request with reference to sales order.
    - Or if you want rectify a invoice, then use invoice coreection request.
    Thanks & Regards

    >>> 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,

  • Credit memo

    Hello gurus,
    There is a credit for a shipment that happened back in June - It comes via the EDI210 (shipment costing) report
    1. Isit possible that these credit invoices go into a "blocked status" - and not "reject" status - so that we could have them flow to the "release blocked invoice screens" and get to paid status.
    2. This would eliminate the vendor having to do up a manual invoices -
    3. the shipment (underlying delivery note) of the original load is referenced - so it should hit the original accrual -  in this case the original service entry sheet exists - and we paid it.
    4. so this credit should be applied to this service entry - to reduce the total amount paid.
    Can this be done? Please advise.
    Thanks,
    Ratna

    Hello Naresh/Mahmoud,
    Please find screenshot of my dispute case.
    Let me know what would be reason for amount not reflecting in credited filed for credit memo.
    Thank you very much for all your time.
