Credit Memos & Planned Revenues

Hi,
I have a sales order to which a WBS elemet is assigned. Once an invoice is created for this sales order, standard SAP report shows planned and actual revenues. If I create a credit memo for that sales order, then along with the actual revenue my planned revenue is also getting reduced by the amount of credit memo.
Can anyone advice why the planned revenues are getting reduced along with actual revenues when a credit memo is created?
Thanks & Regards
Sreekanth

Hi Asad,
There is a table called VBFA which stores the values of all the follow on documents of a sales order. The program needs to be in such a manner to include the credit memos also while calculating the revenues for the WBS elements.
Thanks & Regards

Header Billing Plan - credit memo and debit memo

Folks,
I have the following scenario here.
I have a billing plan order (BP) - with header billing plan.
I have three lines in the billing plan
1) $5000 ...FAZ (Billing Request)
2) $10000...L2 (Debit Memo)
3) $3000...G2 (Credit Memo).
Once i go to VF04,
I have all three billing due. However, only billing type FAZ has the header conditions (PR00, AZWR, TAXES) populated and net value $5000. (Populated against AZWR)
Both L2 and G2 have no header conditions populated and the net value is 0.
The copy control is set up the same for all and all have same document pricing procedure (A).
Is it something basic I'm missing or is there anything else I have to do?
Or pls let me know the process for debit memo / credit memo with a billing plan.
Pls respond ASAP as we have the Proof of Concept scheduled sooner.
Helpful answers will be rewarded promptly!
Thank You,

Hello,
I think that basys of this process is not correct: the purpose of billing plan is to define different invoicing schedules, typically for businesses working with projects, and on top of that, billing plan is the only standard way to manage advance payment and automatically determine the settlement of the advance payments on final invoices.
For this, in my opinion it's not correct entering in the billing plan items with Credit Memo or Debit Memo request. You should have only andvance payment items and invoice items (document category = M).
In a common invoicing process, you can have the following steps:
- Down payment request (FAZ);
- Invoice (F1) reduced by the downpayment amount (if that is the case);
Then you can create a Credit Memo request, against the Invoice, if for some-reason you have to revert back something to the customer; or you can create a Debit Memo request if you have recharge the customer with reference to a document already invoiced. I think that invoice type G2 and D2 should not be "planned" steps in an invoicing process. On top of that, it's not advisable creating Credit Memo requests with reference to an invoice containing downpayment clearing item, as it would lead to incorrect postings into accounting.
Hope to be useful.
Best regards,
Andrea

Why planned revenues is being changed because of credit block on sales orde

HI,
when project is blocked because of credit limit the planned revenue disappears from the project. Planned revenues should not be blocked at all, when the project is created. Planned revenues should not be changed because of credit limit. Now the planned revenues disappear from the project when customer is blocked due to credit limit. This is not correct. Planned revenues should only be changed if billing plan is changed.
Planned revenues for project is updated only when the sales order is released from the credit block. However if the sales order is blocked due to the credit limit again and planned revenues disappears. When we release the sales order, planned revenues is updated again. This should not happen. Once it is updated it has to remain on the project.
Kindly help if anyone knows.

Hi Vishal,
If you make price change in sale order and customer falls under credit category that will impose credit block.
Moreover if you are changing price in sale order that will also affect your billing plan accordingly.
Since plan revenue is coming from pricing in sale order that means it should also get update.
lets wait for other post also, we may come to know other possiblities as wel.

SAP Revenue recognition Credit Memo Accounting document

Hi,
One of our client uses SAP Revenue recognition to post revenue. They have implemented the Service related revenue recognition (revenue recognition category B) and also process credit/debit memo with reference to preceding docuemnt
"F". Each month a debit memo is issued ot the customer for the services performed. Eventually we create credit memos when the customer disputes a particular debit memo invoice. Debit memo and credit memo documents
are created with DP96.
The issue they have currently is with the credit memo account document postings. Client credit memo accounting documents are making postings to unbilled revenue accounts. The postings remain as debit postings in unbilled revenue accounts even after revenue is recognized for an order. According to them accounting rules do not fulfil with the credit memo postings to the unbilled revenue account. Hence we need your expert advice/opinoins.
Please reply as soon as possible because its very high priority issue.
Thanks & Regards
K.R.

Hi,
Please check the reason for value not flowing to the header data of the billing document.Once you get the value of the document tin the header , there will be no issue in creating an accounting document.
Check the item category of the credit memo.

Credit Memo to Deferred Revenue is not amortizing correctly

We issued a Credit Memo to a client related to an invoice that was originally deferred over 80 months straightline. When we issued the Credit Memo it is not taking debits to Revenue until 3 years down the road. When in fact it should be debiting Revenue for the Credit Amount divided by 80 months equally until the end of the amortization period.
The Credit Memo is essentially pushing the negative Revenue to the back end of the amortization period, while continuing to fully recognize Revenue on the original invoice up until that point. You can see how this could dramatically overstate Revenue if we did this with any regularity and with large enough Credit amounts.
Have any of you seen this before? I would really appreciate any insight.
Thank you.

Hello Eliana,
Its unclear in your thread, how you are going to do it.
For creating an invoice / credit memo, you have to refer either a PO/schduling agreement / delivery note (migo).
In all the cases, it will get linked with the PO - MIGO.
What you have to understand is the functionality and the posting that will happen.
If you select
Invoice / credit memo - GR/IR clearing account and vendor account
Subsequent credit/debit - Stock account and vendor account
The difference in posting has its own significance. It will affect the MAP if your material price control is V.
If qty and value variance is there, use the functionality invoice/credit memo.
If only price variation - use subsequent credit/debit.

Revenue Recognition Category after Credit memo request generation via BAPI

Hi all,
I have used the BAPi " SD_SALESDOCUMENT_CREATE" to generate Credit Memo Request. After the generaion of the credit memo request the Revenue Recognition Catrgory [ "RR_RELTYP"(Data Element) ] is not determined. Can anyone let me know what are all to be filled to this BAPI for this field to get populated.

Hello Mr. Shiva Ram,
First of all thanks a lot for your help.The problem of credit memo is now solved but to resolve the status of the existing sales order documents as per your suggestion we have run the program SDVBUK00 in SA38.Still we didn't get the desired result as the status of the completed normal sales orders are still showing "Being Processed" even after running the program.
Please suggest what else need to be done to change the status of the completed sales documents till invoice.

HI,
Lets say billing amount 1000 Rs , When the billing Doc. Pass to accounting the entries will be like this :-
                                     COMPANY                                                                                CUSTOMER
Initial entry                 Debit (DR) -1000 Rs.     TO                                          Credit (CR)     +1000 Rs.
After Payment           Credit (CR) +000 Rs.      TO                                                     Dedit (DR) -1000 Rs.
After CREDIT NOTE to Customer Of 200 Rs. the entries would be like this :-

Letu2019s say by mistake Company raise the Credit Note (Credit Memo) of 200 Rs. Actually it has to be of
100 Rs. for that the entries would be as follows:
                                 COMPANY                                                                                CUSTOMER
                         Credited (CR) +100 Rs.                   TO                                                 Debited (DR) -100 Rs.
I hope this will help you to understandu2026..

Credit Memo To Vendor?

Hi Experts
Any suggestion for the below requirement is highly appreciated with rewards.
Biz Scenario
Vendor A is unable to fulfilled their contract and supply stock to us.Thus, the required stock was brought from vendor B instead. The differences in price b/w vendor A & B will be created as a Credit memo to vendor A.
We would like to post this difference in price (as vendor B is more expensive) to vendor A as a credit memo.
Accounting entries would be something like below.
ie. Debit vendor A
Credit revenue GL account (liquidated damages income)
Thanks /Karthik

Hi,
If there exists a contract for vendor A and if there exists a PO for the vendor A ,
Please let me know,
1.vendor A partially unable to send the material qty and this diff are you going to get from vendor B?
2.is it throgh another po?
3.Does the vendor A send you the invoice before he sends the material to you for full qty and and you entered it into the system?
Credit memo is like the reversal of the MIRO posted.
If your vendor A fully invoices you and partially supplies the material then you can plan for posting a credit memeo ( if you already entried the invoice in MIRO for full qty) .Credit memeo reverses the qty and the PO price of vendor A .
As vendor B is separete entity, you have to post the MIRO for him separately.
If you fell vendor A suppled material is more expensive when compared to B, you can reduce the invoice of A and post at MIRO to that qty saying vendor error.
Please elobarate your scenario so that a better solution can be given.
Regards,

Credit Memo Request w.r.t Service Orders

Hi All
We want to create Credit Memo request (CMR ) as follow up w.r.t CRM Service Orders, as of now below process is available
Service order --> Confirmation --> Invoice --> CMR --> Credit Note.
can anyone helpe me in configuring the below process
Service order --> CMR --> Credit Note.
Best Regards
Nagaraj G

Hello Nagaraj
The service order posts the planned cost in the system. and your requirement is to reduce the planned costs from the system by creating credit memo request in the system.
As per the OSS message also this credit memo request will reduce the actual Cost/revenue not the planned cost/revenue.
What i believe is if you want to reduce the plan cost/ revenue. You just reduce the value in the service order itself rather than creating the credit memo request.
Please let me know if i understood your scenario correctly below.
you created a service order and planned cost/revenue is posted into the system and later you realized that this service are not actually performed and there is no service confirmation is posted in the system. but you want to remove planned cost also from the internal order.
So in this above case i would suggest you either change the value in the service order itself. or cancel your service order.

Material Cost is not coming in Credit Memo

Dear SAP gurus,
My Client is from Brazil & they created a cycle of Sales Order (Export Order) to Billing (with Nota Fiscal)
& with Reference to Invoice, they created the Return Order, Return Delivery (PGR) & finally generated Credit Memo.
The Problem is Material Cost (VPRS) is getting captured in Billing, but in case of Credit memo,
Material cost is not getting posted in G/L accounts.
What we analyzed till now:
* Pricing Procedure & found that there is no requirement/routine maintained for Cond Type VPRS.
* Copy Control related Settings (from Delivery to Billing).
* Item Category Related settings.
but we could not find anything specific.
For more clarity, I am providing the below details of Accouting Entries:
G/L account details after Billing:
1 99999S2L10 Industrias John Deer USD     122.102,07

Please pay attention to 5th & 6th Lines.
Can anyone suggest where things have gone wrong. Do let me know if you need any other information.
Thank you in anticipation,
MAYANK

Hello Mayank,
If your VPRS is being captured in your billing document, but IS NOT being posted to a G/L account, then your problem is on account determination.
I suggest the following:
Step 1. Go to your billing document overview.
Step 2. Go to Environment>Account Determination Analysis>Revenue Accounts.
Step 3. Go to the VPRS condition of your material and based on the access sequence, check the problem. For example: "No G/L found in Account Determination Type KOFI" (if your account determination condition type is KOFI in your case)
Step 4. In Step 3, you will see the values for each field based on the fields in your access. Then go to VKOA and compare if you have a valid entry there corresponding to the revenue account determination analysis. Otherwise, if there is no matching entry then I suspect this is why your G/L is not being determined for your VPRS.
Step 5. If the VKOA entry is missing and it is REALLY NEEDED, then add the VKOA entry tied to the G/L account. Otherwise, review your master data and your VKOA.
Let me know if this solves your problem.
Hope this helps,
Eva

Copy AR invoice to Credit Memo

In B1 2005A SP01 PL 36, you cannot create a Credit memo from a closed invoice. This is extremely restrictive as the majority of product returns occur after the invoice has been paid. Is there an update to 2005A that provides this capability or does 2007 offer it? If not, this really should be considered since the Credit memo is used to return money to the customer. Not having to reenter the information would be a time saver and a potential reduction of entry errors. In our instance, all of our products are under Batch management and the credit memo has to put the stock back into the correct batch. This should automatically done from copying the original AR.

Hi Art,
Here are the postings as performed in my UK localisation testdatabase:
AR invoice:
BP account Debit 117.50
VAT @ 17.5% Credit 17.50
Revenue Credit 100.00
Credit Card Payment:
Credit Card account Debit 117.50
BP Account Credit 117.50
Cancellation of Credit Card Payment:
Credit Card account Debit -117.50
BP Account Credit -117.50
The payment is reconciled with the original invoice & the cancellation.
The invoice is reconciled with the payment & the cancellation, yet in status 'open' because the payment has been cancelled & the balance due is back on the account.
The invoice will appear in the open items list as unpaid & is available as base document for a credit memo. You can then use the 'copy from' or 'copy to' functionality to creste the credit memo based on the invoice.
The invoice will then be reconciled with:
a) the payment
b) the cancellation of the payment
c) the credit memo
If you use the invoice as base document for only a partial credit memo, then you will need to either create another payment to clear the balance due or another credit memo.
As I outlined above, the reason for 'locking' a fully reconciled invoice is because this particular transaction is completed. This is of importance, especially if there is stock with serial/batch numbers involved. Depending on the industry, it is of vital importance to keep track of batches & being able to duplicate a batch/serial number when the original transaction is completed, would lead to inconsistencies. Also,
if there has been no stock transaction prior to the invoice, this is done on the same journal entry. So if, say 100 items of your stock left the warehouse at a MAP of 1 each at the invoice stage, the value of your warehouse is reduced by 100. If you base the credit memo on the invoice, this stock is always received back with a value of 100. If the MAP changes, say to 1.5 & you the create an independent credit memo, then the items are received back with the new MAP of 1.5 since there is no link to the original, outgoing, document.
Therefore, the process should be:
1. AR invoice (Status: open)
2. Payment (AR invoice status: closed)
3. Cancel Payment (AR invoice status: open)
4. Credit memo (full- AR invoice status: closed, partial-AR invoice status: open)
5. Payment/credit memo if balance due (AR invoice status: closed)
All the best,
Kerstin

Need negative quantity non-inventory items on Credit Memo

Version: (2007A)
Description of requirements: (Please provide a detailed description)
Our customer issues many invoices with a negative quantity line item for a miscellaneous non-inventory item. These non-inventory items are used to reduce the amount of the invoice regarding miscellaneous credits to their customers. These are not discounts.
When the customer wants to credit these invoices, they canu2019t create a Credit Memo based on the invoice because SAP wonu2019t allow this if there are line items with negative amounts.
When they create a credit memo not based on an invoice, they arenu2019t allowed to enter a negative quantity for a line item as they are for an Invoice. They are forced to create a credit memo not based on an invoice the inventory item line items and an invoice or Journal Entry for the negative quantity line item to debit back the miscellaneous line amount.
As an example:
Invoice line item one for inventory item: qty one, price 100,line total $100.00
Invoice line item two non-inventory item misc credit: quanity -1, price 10, total -$10.00
Invoice Total $90.00
In Order to provide the correct credit amount, they have to create a Credit Memo not based on an invoice for line item one, qty one, price 100 u2013 value -100 and an invoice for the non-inventory item for qty one, price 10 - value 10.00.
This creates a net credit for the customer of 90.00
This looks ridiculous to their customers when they see these transactions on their statements, creates extra work for the users and there is no link between the three documents.
By using inventory items for these miscellaneous credits, they can assign a sales revenue of their choice. They have multiple sales accounts and the GL posting is determined by the item group for the item. By assigning the desired item group to these non-inventory items, they can control which sales account is updated on their marketing documents when using these non-inventory items.
If they were to use the Freight items, they would need a separate freight setup entry for combination of item group and miscellaneous credit. Because they have so many Item Groups and types of credits, they would need a great many separate Freight Charges to choose from.
All of the above pertains to all of our customers. This customer has a custom add-on and their marketing documents are all created from custom objects. They hit a button on the custom sales contract screen and an invoice is created. When they hit another button on the screen, the selected invoice is credited. They have legally binding contracts for fixed quantities to be shipped, so we decrease the quantity shipped when creating an invoice and decrease the quantity shipped when a credit memo is created. The contract is fulfilled when the exact quantity contracted for has been shipped. Because the credit memo fails, we canu2019t update the custom objectu2019s remaining to be shipped, rendering it inaccurate from that time forward. (reducing the quantity shipped is part of the Credit Memo creation process).Creating Credit Memos and Invoices from the interface fixes the inventory count, customer balance, etc., but we have no way of fixing the sales contractu2019s quantity shipped & remaining to be shipped or linking the contracts to the documents created from the interface.
Business needs: (Please describe the impact on your business, if the functionality is not realized)
Examples: (Please describe a typical example, how the functionality should work.)
Credit Memos should allow negative quantities and line total amounts for non-inventory items, the same way that A/R Invoices do, so that credit memos can be based on invoices that have negative quantity non-inventory line items.
Current Workaround: (Please describe the workarounds you are using at the moment)
Please see above
Proposed solution: (Please suggest how the new functionality should work)
Credit Memos should allow negative quantities and line total amounts for non-inventory items, the same way that A/R Invoices do.

Hi Sean......
System is behaving properly as per its logic. Infact it does same in all the previous or upcoming versions.
If you have Item Type GRPO for Non Inventory Item it does not create any accounting but you can see the same during AP invoice.
GRPO for such type is only optional. For further clarification you can discuss this with your CA what he suggests. But i suggest you to raise AP invoice also for getting Account effect. Just see doing this in test DB you get your answer......

Rahul

Credit Memo all my material items to be directly posted to Balance Sheet account

Hi Experts
My client has a scenario where for certain items they create a credit memo request document and finally a credit memo document from the VKOA system is picking the revenue bearing GL and posting all the line items to that G/L account
Manually my customer is again checking and extracting the p/l and posting to balance sheet account
is there a way where we can directly post these entries to Balance Sheet account
Best Regards
Waseem

Hi Sanil
Thanks for the quick reply, can we assign a balance sheet account directly in VKOA in the G/L account field or do we need to add this in directly in Provision acc field
As suggested by you we already have the access sequence with respect to Order Reason, I am just doubtful wether we can directly give Balance Sheet account in G/L account field
Best Regards
