Document category changes to credit from returns

hi,
we have changed the document type category from that of the returns to the credit memo request and modified the order related billing type.
When we wanted to move changes to the production, we see that there are 2500 documents lying with some delivery created and some with open orders;
can any one suggest the best way of handling this situation;

Hi,
Changing the document category for a document type when it is in use in production is never recommended. The reason being, when category of the document type changes, there are a lot of effects on the system especially on the VBFA table. The already lying documents may have a problem as you will have created delivries for the same and you many not be able to take it any futher as the document is now order related billing (with new config moving into config) and not delivery related billing.
So, the best way to handle this kind of a situation are
a. Bill all the delivery that are pending in production. In case the situation does not allow, then, try to reverse the delivery and delete it.
b. Complete all the open sales orders in production. Else delete them.
c. After a and b are complete, you can move the document type into Production.
Alll these activities are to be completed on a non working day (preferably Sunday) so that no new documents get created. You can block all the user authoriztion for some time so that you can achieve the results...
However, the word of caution before moving the new config: IF you move the new config, you cannot reverse the old documents any more....
Hope this helps...
Thanks

  • Credit for Returns showing different Net values...

    Hi,
    I used VF03 to see a billing document, it was a Credit for Returns and it had one line item. It showed the Net value as say 25000.00. I clicked that line item and then clicked the icon at the bottom "Item Pricing Condtn" and in the next screen under the "Conditions tab" , the net value shown is like 15676.00.
    Why is the Net Value different from what was shown in the first screen ? What may be happening ? Any tips ?
    And also the net value in the first screen then changes when you move back to the first screen !!
    So everytime when you open the document  in VF03 it shows 25000.00 and then when u return to that screen (after above mentioned steps) it shows the new value 15676.00.
    thnks

    Hi SDNuser,
    Check if any routine is written for calculation of any condition type in pricing unde requirements, Altcalctype or Altcalcbaseval.
    Also check if some logic has been implemented in User exit RV60AFZZ, for billing document pricing under forms:
          USEREXIT_PRICING_PREPARE_TKOMK     
          USEREXIT_PRICING_PREPARE_TKOMP

  • Conversion from 4.6C to ECC 6.0 issue with Sales Document Category K

    Hello.
         My company is upgrading from a 4.6C system to an SAP ECC 6.0. We have batch management on for all materials. There was a bug in SAP 4.6C which allowed the creation of a Credit memo request, (SD Document Category H), and the user did not have to enter a valid batch as part of the creation process using VA01. The batch checking was skipped. This was not realized until the process failed in testing for ECC 6.0. These types of documents are create manually and via IDOC's.
         ECC 6.0 contains the fix for the bug and the check is now being invoked for batches OSS Note 740397 describes the bug and fix. Is there a way using configuration to have the batch check be turned off during credit memo request creation? In debugging the code this does not seems possible. It appears from the abap code this is not possible and based upon the Category H a batch is required. Just checking.
         I have change the SD Document Category to H*(Returns) and the Screen Sequence to be RE(Returns). The user and the IDOC can now enter existing batches and non existing batches. The problem now is the processing of the  Orders IDOC is somehow not storing the quantity. I have debugged the IDOC processing, the IDOC is using call transaction, and I see the quantity is to be populated in the properly in the BDC table used by the call transcation. Yet it is not on the return delivery once the IDOC processes.  Any idea why or which field from the IDOC should be populated? I am assuming that the processing of the Credit memo request and the Return is different from an IDOC perspective and will require different fields to be populated. Not sure just a thought.
         Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Pdfmaker changes my pagination from my Word 2007 document

    When I use pdfmaker in Word 2007 it changes the pagination from my Word document.  For example, the first page of my document ends up being 2 pages when I convert the file (text shifts).  If I just do file > print > Adobe PDF, the file looks exactly like the Word document.  The problem with that though is I need my table of contents linked and then I have to do that manually.  I've set my default printer to Adobe PDF, but it still doesn't make a difference.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    What version and update of Acrobat? It might be a simple update of Acrobat will do the trick. I am not why PDF Maker would be different, but PDF Maker is no longer a preprocessor for the Adobe PDF printer with AA9. Thus there may indeed be an issue -- probably related to the link embedding. You might try unchecking all of the options in PDF Maker and seeing if you get a good result. If so, then put things back in until it breaks. Not the best solution, but maybe a useful workaround.

  • How to change content type from Document set to Item

    While creating content type I've selected Item as a parent but after created I can see its showing Document Set as a parent content type. Now can anyone please suggest if possible I can change the parent content type from Document Set to Item.

    Hi,
    From your description, I know you want to change content type’s parent after creating it.
    There is no OOB method to change content type’s parent after you create it. If current content type has not been used, you could delete it and recreate it with your desired base type. Here are similar cases:

    Error analysis:
        An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
        The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_OPEN_SQL_DB', was not caught
         in
        procedure "SD_PARTNER_UPDATE" "(FUNCTION)", nor was it propagated by a RAISING
         clause.
        Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the
        exception would occur, the current program is terminated.
        The reason for the exception is:
        If you use an ABAP/4 Open SQL array insert to insert a record in
        the database and that record already exists with the same key,
        this results in a termination.
        (With an ABAP/4 Open SQL single record insert in the same error
        situation, processing does not terminate, but SY-SUBRC is set to 4.)
    when i comment  partner  details  it works  but
    Iam not  getting  quantity  and partner  details   so  how to pass  Partner  Details   and item quantity
    to updated  existing line item number.

  • Deleting Line from Return Document (error occurs)

    Does SBO Allows to delete a line from return document using the SDK
    I tried to delete a line but an error occurs
    Sincerely yours
    Riade Asleh

    Hi Riade,
    Are you talking about removing a line of a return once the document has been added to SBO? If so, you cannot remove a line either by using the UI or the DI API. This is by design.
    If you are not talking about removing a line after adding the document, please could you post details of the error you get and the code you are using?
    Kind Regards,

    Clicking on File/Page Preview in Firefox 4 brings up a warning dialog "The document cannot change while Printing or in Print Preview" every time. How can I stop this from happening? It is very annoying, and it is necessary to click "OK" on this dialog twice before it will go away. Thank you.

    I have moved from Thailand to Turkey and I want to change my credit card details in my apple account but I can not change due to my subscription to iTunes Match in Thailand.

    It happens on Mac App Store & iPhone App store as well.
    So clearly the problem is on my Apple ID..
    I've changed my credit card details on my Apple ID but it doesn't reflect onto my phone when I login after restarting the phone. Even if i sign out.
    When it reaches the part where I would need to verify my phone after entering my password. It just keeps requesting for my password and never shows me anything.
    If I click update apps it'll just disable my account. Even on my Mac App store same thing happening.
