Difference between invoice and debit note

Hi,
what is the difference between invoice and a debit note.
If I underinvoice a customer, should I raise a additional invoice for the difference or shud i raise a debit note. if  i need to raise debit note, then why not invoice or if i need to raise an invoice, then why not a debit note
regards
sachin

Debit note is generally used to issue an invoice for already sold goods w/o physical goods movement involved.
If raw material prices increases which are utilized in production of Finished goods. then the business will submit the relevant documents as proof at customer.
              Once Customer is accepted, then price increase effective date will be finalized , Then business issues debit note request for the required material & its converted into debit note. ( all this will be done, based on agreement with the Customer). Generally this scenario is most widely used in Manufacturing / Automobile industry.
where as, If invoice is created with less price than actual, you dont need to create debit note, instead you can either Cancel this invoice or create Invoice Correction request.
hope it adds info

  • Difference between invoice and billing document

    Hi ,
    As an ABAPer , I am finding it very difficult to find the difference between the billing and invoice.
    If both are different, then how these documents are configured.
    thanks
    Devi Reddy

    Hi,
    No difference between invoice and billing document.
    But If we want to inform the payable to the customer we use the terminalogy invoice.
    Example Credit meomo, debit memo. etc ...
    As there is no difference , both have the same document types.
    thanks

  • Link between Invoice and Delivery note

    Hi,
    Here I am having a requirement to get all the GR made against an Invoice.
    Let me explain it.
    I am having one Purchase order. Now I made the GR with a delivery note number. Now in MIRO I pass the bill or create the Invoice against the delivery note. Now I want to know the delivery note number against that invoice number.
    I cant go by the Purchase order no and item number also. Because I have to show the delivery note number against that Invoice number only. Because so many Invoices and GR can be created for the same PO item.
    FYR please go through the my thread in ABAP general

  • MWST-group condition rounding difference between invoice and credit memo

    Hi Experts,
    I have an issue with MWST rounding issue.
    Before jumping into the actual problem these are the prerequisites
    SAP Version: ECC6.0
    Condition type: MWST, with group condition tick enabled!
    US Scenario (No Implication of CIN)
    Scenario: - From Billing document  to Credit memo invoice.
    When a invoice is referenced to the credit memo, there is a difference in the rounding value.
    E.g.: Invoice tax value: 387.34 when completely referenced to credit memo become;s  387.31.
    Please throw some light on it!

    Hi,
    Check Note 315792 - Group conditions of the same amount on item and related notes.
    Perhaps Note 80183 - Rounding will help you too.
    Regards,
    Eduardo

  • Mismatch between invoice and credit note

    Hi Gurus,
    We have made an credit note,5xxxxxxxx12, to cancel an invoice 5xxxxxxxx10. However the values on the corresponding accounting documents are different (USD  8000,02- and 7992,46), so we cannot match the two documents.
    Please advice me how to match these two documents.

    Hi shivaji,
    What is the reason for the difference in the amount. you may have to manually clear the documents using transaction F-03 or F-32 and post the difference manually.

  • Differences between Invoice and Credit card bill

    Hello, I bought one MacBook Pro (MD101LL/A MBP 13.3/2.5/2X2GB/500/SD-USA)  and one Magic mouse from the Apple Online Store, for education.
    And the invoice was shown as bellow:

    Quantity
    Ordered

    -$100.00
    Total
    $1,026.08
    Amount Due
    $0.00
    Payment Methods
    $1,026.08 charged to ********* XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
    For a total of $1,026.08
    BUT, when I check my credit card bill, I found that there two consumer records:
    1. $1026.08 APL*APPLEONLINESTOREUS 800-676-2775 US
    2. $100 APL*APPLEONLINESTOREUS 800-676-2775 US
    So what was the second $100 paid for?

    did you receive a gift card for $100.?
    if so the way they charge it is to give a credit for the gift card price (-$100) and then bill you separate for the gift card, if you do the numbers you will see it totals the correct amount for educational pricing.
    $999. Plus tax
    $100 gift card
    total $1099.
    -100 for the gift card
    total $999. Plus tax
    you bill will show the amount for the computer minus the $100 = total  $899. Plus tax
    and
    $100 for the gift card for an over all total of $999. Plus tax
    of corse if you want the real total for your bill you will need to add in the mouse
    hope this helps

  • FSCM-COL: Worklist separated by invoices and credit notes

    Hi all,
    We are implementing FSCM-COL and in the u2018Process Receivablesu2019 screen, in the tab "Invoices", there is a split between invoices and credit notes,in two separate lists. The documents are not displayed together!
    As a basic requirement for a collection contact, a single list is required, in order to be possible to sort all open items and enable
    greater efficiency during the customer contact.
    Do you know how this separation is done (by posting key for instance...?) and if we can change this....
    Or this is standard functionality of the worklist ?
    Thanks for your inputs,
    Best Regards,
    Bruno Sousa

    This is standard.
    Credits are normally a different colour.
    The worklist should be used by the team to define what the customers owe's and what they should pay.
    Total overdue - disputed items not resolved = amount to be collected.

  • Difference between billing and invoice?

    Hi all
    can anybody say Difference between billing and invoice?
    thanks

    Hi Ipsit,
    Invoice is document indicating to delivery goods and Billing is a receipt of payment
    Tables are VBRK & VBRP. For flow, go to transaction VF03, enter document number and hit 'Display Document Flow' button on toolbar
    VBRK and VBRP holds billing/invoice details..
    Billing Document:
    Generic term for invoices, credit memos, debit memos, pro forma invoices and cancellation documents.
    The tables are VBRK and VBRP.
    2) -- once u do PGI the delivery document will be created. There is no way to stop it.. The thing u can to do go to the list of created deliveries in VL09. Select the delivery doc which u created. There u have the option of reversing the goods or canceling it.
    Billing is generic term and u can say invoice is a type of billing document.
    After PGI only way left is to cancel it by Using TCODE MBST as this Tcode is used to cancel any material document.
    Please Reward If Really Helpful,
    Thanks and Regards,

  • Credit and Debit notes in reference to Repairing invoice or Repair request

    Hi Experts!
    I create a Sales order ("RA") for repairing. My flow is complete and also billing documents are generated.
    The fixed price defined in the Repair request is copied into the invoice, and can not be modified (we block the change).
    If the price is lower or upper than the real costs. It would like to create a credit or a debit note in reference to the billing document.
    Is it a standard way to work because SAP blocks it in Standard.
    Or there is no link between a billing document and a credit memo?
    I have an alternative, to use "Purchase order N°" with Sales order, but this field is a free text.
    Thanks for your help.
    Stéphane

    Who/what is "it" in "it would like to create"? What does SAP "block"? What exactly is an issue?

  • Posting of difference between PO and invoice by authorization level

    Hi all,
    I have a question on price difference between PO and invoice. 
    If i want to restrict postings of invoice by authorization like the following, is it possible to be done?  If yes, how?
    Clerks only allowed to post those invoice with no difference and rounding difference (small difference).  Other invoice with difference (not caused by rounding) can be posted by a higher authorised person and not the clerk.  Can this type of authorization be set? 
    Thanks.
    Regards,

    Hello
    First decide on the authorization roles for different users.
    Then these roles can be set by the BASIS team.
    Also tolerence groups for different users and amounts can also be set.
    Tolerances for Employees
    To carry out the activity, choose one of the following navigation options:
    Transaction Code     SPRO
    IMG Menu     Financial Accounting ® Accounts Payable Accounts Receivable  ® Business Transactions ® Incoming Payments  ® Manual incoming payments ® Define Tolerance Groups for Employees
