Credit memos vs Invoices

Question from a SDK developer:
"We have identified that that VPM2 table contains most of the information we need in order to print remittance information on the vendor check stubs. However, on occasion we will need to go back to the OPCH or ORPC tables to pull additional data fields not available in VPM2. We believe that the DOCENTRY field from the VPM2 table would be used to key into either OPCH or ORPC as a 1 to 1 mapping.
What isnt clear is how to know which of those tables to pick? i.e. how can we determine if a particular row in VPM2 represents an invoice or a credit memo?"

Answer:
In the DB helpfile go to the table VPM2.
You'll find two fields listed that contain the answer to your question:
- DocEntry contains the key (DocEntry) of the header table of the object referenced; just disregard that the description of the field is just "Invoice Key"
- InvType contains the type of the document (see list in DB help)
Please note:
The DB helpfile is e.g. available in the "Documentation" folder on a product CD - or in the downloads for the SAP Business One SDK on Service Marketplace - or download the SDK helpcenter from the developer area for SAP Business One here in SDN:https://media.sdn.sap.com/html/submitted_docs/BusinessOne/B1_sdk.zip

Apply credit memo to invoice using API

Dear All ,
my question is how to apply a credit memo to invoice .
I want to make a credit memo then apply invoice to this credit memo , you can check this in the transaction form by creating a credit memo then check application from action menu then apply the invoice.
So i want to simulate this process using API.
i searche and f ound there is API called Ar_cm_application_pub.activity_application but it is not clear to me .
So if anyone know this API and how to use it and any example for it .
thanx in advance .

No Answer??!!!!

The Credit Memo & Original Invoice do not have the same net due date.

The issue is that for returns of goods from the customer, the credit memo that gets created does not have the same net due date as the original invoice. To accomplish this, in the credit memo, the indicator "V" must be entered in the credit memo field BSEG-REBZG "Invoice Ref". This will make the credit memo due based on the payment terms. In the OSS message 50388, SAP identifies a user exit in SDVFX008 which will fill field BSEG-REBZG with the value "V". Doing this should automatically make the credit memo for returns due the same date as the original invoice.SAP says to do the following:
The function module called by SDVFX008 is EXIT_SAPLV60B_008
Make the ABAP coding in include program ZXVVFU08.
Populate field ACCIT-REBZG with "V"
Despite doing this , we couldnt get the same net due date as the credit memo & Original invoice.
Can anyone help? POINTS WILL BE GIVEN.
Thanks
Anita

Hi Anitha,
Does the value 'V' gets paopulated?.
I mean to ask whether the program goes into the user exit logic?.
Please let me know.
Thank you.

What is the difference between credit memo in invoice year and in next year

Hi!
I'm new here.I'm study SAP ERP.I don't know what is the difference between credit memo in invoice year and credit memo in next year (asset accounting).Can you show and give me an example, please!
Thanks and best regards!
Edited by: dinhtuan on Jun 28, 2010 3:10 PM

Hi,
Maybe have a look at the SAP Help for further information (http://help.sap.com) : e.g. 'Posting Credit Memos Integrated with Vendor' or 'Posting a Credit Memo Offset Against a Clearing Account'
Transaction type 105 for credit memo on current acquisition made in the current year, posting key 75. Or transaction type 160 for credit memo on acquisitions from prior years. posting key 75.
Note: determine if the asset was acquired in the current fiscal year or in a closed fiscal year (Display asset values).
If the asset was acquired in a fiscal year that is now closed, correct the past depreciation using a write-up (in that case check out and refer to Posting Write-Ups).
I hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Brigitte

Why need to link credit memo with invoice

Hi, gurus,
I received an AP invoice valued $2222 and then received a credit memo valued $222 about 1 week later.
Now I need to make payment.
I was told it's good to link credit memo with invoice by entering invoice number in the field "invoice reference" when creating credit memo. But I'm not sure why it's better because system will pick up both items anyway when i entered $ 2000 using f-53 to make outgoing payment.
The only reason i can think of is this link will guarantee that credit memo has the same terms of payment with invoice.
Is there any other good reasons? Any help will be appreciated.

Dear,
We need to link credit memo with invoice against for two obvious reasons
1.. Future tracking of all credit memo i-e if we gave excess credits to vendor then it was against which invoice. This will create linkage and tracking of credit memo with invoice that will be shown in FBL1N .
2..At the end of specific time period ,month or quarter ,its a normal practise to reconcile vendor balance as per SAP ledger to that of vendor's own book. At that time you will need credit memo track also that against which invoice was the credit given.
This all can be achived after posting credit memo with refrence to invoice number. Audit perpective should also be kept in mind. Hope this will help you

Create a Credit Memo from invoice

Hi,
When I Create a Credit Memo from invoice, I get the next error : -5002 , "-"
What is that?
regards

Hi Joe,
I have tested your code and it seems to me that it is working fine. Make sure that the numbers of the document that you are using is correct and that you are doing it for the same business partner. Try doing the exact same thing in SBO. Please remember that you can have different document numbers and document entries for every document. The BaseEntry refers to the DocEntry field in the OINV table and not the DocNum field. The DocNum field is the one you see on screen in top right corner of AR Invoice screen.
Hope it helps,
Adele

R12: Create on-account Credit Memo with invoicing and accounting rules

In R12.1.2: when using the AR_INVOICE_API_PUB it seems to be impossible to create a on-account Credit Memo with invoicing and accounting rules. The next errors are returned by the API:
- AR_INAPI_INV_RULE_NOT_REQUIRED
Do not include an invoicing rule if the transaction type's class is Debit Memo or Credit Memo.
- AR_INAPI_RULE_NOT_ALLOWED
Do not enter an invoicing or accounting rule for on-account credit memos
Please advice how to create on-account Credit Memo with invoicing and accounting rules using an API.

We will use the AR_CREDIT_MEMO_API_PUB api.

MIR4 - how to know a transaction type is credit memo or invoice ?

hi gurus.
In transaction MIR4 ( display invoice), How can we know that an invoice is "credit memo" or invoice. Supposing that we know the fied RBKP-VGART.
I see that with RBKP-VGART = 'RS' this will be Credit memo in tcode MIR4
and if RBKP-VGART = 'RD' this will be an invoice.
how about the other types such as : RP, KP....etc
I am processing for the purchase order.
Thanks in advance

The transcation type are as follows
RP     Invoice receipt
KP     Account maintenance
KS     Account maintenance reversal
PR     Price change
BL     Material debit
PF     Std cost estim. release
RD     Logistics invoice
ML     Material ledger settlement
MI     Material ledger initialization
RS     Logistics invoice, cancel

Credit Memo Without Invoice

Hi friends.
Is their Any BAPI OR FM To Create Credit Memo Without Invoice.
Or if We can do it By Any Other Method Then Please Tell Me.
Thanks.

Hi swapnil,
for that u wud 1st need to create a settlement order i.e SO & in reference to that u wud be able to create a credit memo.
try FM BAPI_SALESORDER_CREATEFROMDATA, BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE.
Going further u can use BAPI_BILLINGDOC_CREATEFROMDATA or BAPI_BILLINGDOC_CREATEMULTIPLE.
This is what i'd done for my requirement, not sure if this helps u.
but from what i understand credit memo is a billing doc/invoice itself.

Free goods are not copying in credit memo from invoice

Dear Gurus,
I have made a invoice having two line items 1.normal goods with sale price and 2.free sample goods(part of promotional scheme) without any sale price.
but while making credit memo for receiving goods back in cancellation of invoice , i am facing problem for free goods. system is not copying the free goods in credit memo and copying only normal goods.
what can be problem for not copying? whether i am following some wrong procedure or some configuration is missing.
please advise me with your valuable suggestions.
Thanks in advance
Parag

hello, friend.
first of all, the free goods are not relevant for credit memo since the customers never paid for these in the first place.
however, i observed that after cancelling the invoice, you still issued a credit memo? this may not be the proper process. when you cancel the invoice, entries into the customers Accounts Receivables are reversed as well (we are assuming no payments are posted yet). so there is no need to issue credit memos.
if you are referring to another process, please clarify the same.
regards.

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.
