Customer sales return - excise inv creation issue

Question

Dear expert,
        We are testing the "Customer sales Return" scenario for one of our client. Our process is,
1. Create sales return order (VA01) with ref or without reference
2. Create return delivery (VL01N)
3. Perform Post goods Receipt (VL02N)
4. Create Credit Note (VF01) - Here in this case we are differ. We are creating the "Credit Note" with reference to return delivery not with ref to sales return order
               Since we planned to create the credit note with reference to "Return delivery", we have defined the CIN related customizing as "Assign Billing Types to Delivery Types".
           Then we tried to create the excise Invoice using Transaction J1IIN. But we are getting the error message as
                              Billing document 3134000001 does not exist
                              Message no. 8I422
Kindly give your suggestion to overcome this issue.
Warm Regards,
Nag

Answer 1

Dear Experts,
         Thanks for your quick response.
Yes, already we maintained the billing relevance field in item category maintained as "A" & Copy contorl in VTFL also. Due to this we can able to create the "credit Note" in Transaction VF01. But during excise Invoice creation only we are facing the above mentioned issue.
Feedback for the response from SDL:-
                 Yes, we came to know that, for customer sales return process we need to raise a JV only not the excise invoice creation in J1IIN. But we are in the assumption that, this scenario is applicable of we are creating the "Credit Note" with reference to return sales order.
             But in our case, we are creating the "Credit Note" with reference to "Return delivery". Since delivery is involved in the process we are in the assumption that we can able to create the excise invoice using J1IIN after maintaining the configuration in the "Assign Billing Types to Delivery Types" area.
Please give your valuable feedback on this.
Warm Regards,
