Draft Document Question - Credit Memo

Hopefully one fo the experts will come through for me again!!!
I have yet another challange. When printing a Draft Credit memo, I do not want to print the DRAFT water mark across the document. I know how to shut that feature off. Instead, I would like to print my own message on the Draft Credit Memo, basically stating that is it not yet approved. I see that ALL draft versions of the Marketing Documents are found in table ODRF and Credit Memos are found in ORIN. When printing using the PLD, how do I determine that the document is a DRAFT Credit Memo versus an actual LIVE Credit Memo? Is there a flag set similar to ObjType (14 is a Credit Memo) that species that is a Draft document? Sounds like a simple question but I am again pulling my hair out on this one!
Thanks in advance - Again!!!
Dana

HI Dana,
I donu2019t think you can have a different watermark for Draft documents. Instead, you can create a field of type u201CPictureu201D and position it as per the requirements. If this is supposed to be a watermark, rather than a regular field, then uncheck the u201Cbackgroundu201D field in the color tab for all other fields except for this picture/message field. Also create another field (FIELD_XYZ)as variable and the variable no. is 275 u2013 Name it as Doc Status. Create a text field (FIELD_ABC) with value = 6. Create another formula field with formula as FIELD_XYZ==FIELD_ABC. Now the picture field created above needs to be linked to this formula field so that it will print only when the doc is in draft mode.
Hope this will help u .

Update Billing Document During Credit Memo Creation

Hi,
I need to update the billing document during credit memo creation in VA01. Is it possible to achieve this requirement since the billing document is in use during the runtime?
Thanks & Regards,
Mawi

Hi Mawi,
When you are trying to change billing document use CALL FUNCTION 'DEQUEUE_ALL'. It will unlock that billing number and you can change that billing document.
Thanx & Regards

Rewrite draft document batch query for live document

Hello Experts,
I have written a query that returns data from DRAFT A/P Credit Memos. It returns all line items and includes all linked batch numbers if any.
I want to run the same query against A/P Credit memos once the document is 'added'. Here's the current query...
select odrf.docentry, DRF1.itemcode, DRF1.dscription, odrf.cardcode, obtn.distnumber, odrf.Docdate as 'Date Opened'
from odrf
join DRF1 on odrf.docentry = DRF1.docentry
left join DRF16 on DRF1.docentry = DRF16.absentry AND DRF1.linenum = drf16.linenum
left join obtn on DRF16.objabs = obtn.absentry
where DRF1.dscription IS NOT NULL
AND odrf.objtype = 19
I'm having a difficult time translating this logic over to live documents. It seems there is no equivalent table to DRF16 on live documents?

Yes I tried that. However my RPC16 table is empty. Which is odd because you would think after adding a draft document into a live document the data from DRF16 would show up in RPC16. This appears to be the case for DRF1 to RPC1 tables at least...

Credit Memo with reference to Sales Order

Dear Friends,
I am trying to configure customization for the new billing document type (Credit Memo) with reference to an existing sales order, and i want the new billing type also to be listed in the billing due list when we create the invoices with transaction VF04. Can you pl. advise me the parameters that need to be considered importantly in customization. Or even a document link would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
BR,
KP

Hi,
In VF04 you can give different billing type.
So in that you can also add your newly created billing type to show in the billing due list.
If you want your sales order should consider your billing document only then do the setting in VOV8.
If you want to some thing else then please let us know clearly.

Freight on credit memo for returns PO

We are trying to achieve the below solution for a returns PO, created 2 condition types, assigned to the pricing procedure to achieve the GR posting. When we use MRRL to create a credit memo for both the material and the freight. the system creates a credit memo for the material and an invoice for the freight. Can someone tell me, what drives the credit memo generation for both freight and material
GR
Cr INV
Dr GRIR
Dr Freight clrg
Cr Freight
Credit Memo/ERS settlement/ MRRL
Dr Vendor
Cr GRIR
Cr Freight Clrg
We were able to create the GR side of the entry, using two other condition types on the PO.
Now when we do ERS settlement,
the system creates a credit memo for the INV line item and an invoice for the freight line item.
Both the freight and the material is charged to the PO vendor, we dont charge separate to the freight vendor at this point.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

Ganesh,
Thx for the reply!!
We did that before as well, Even as we select it, it creates 2 documents
1. credit memo for the inventory to the vendor
2. invoice for the freight to the same vendor
I guess i am missing some config piece that makes the freight on the PO to be also a credit memo while doing the MRRL
i am using 2 condition types FRA1 and a ZFR1 (mimicking FRA1 with a negative sign)
i have assigned 2 diff (ActKey/Accrual Key) combination to each one of them
FRE/FR1 and FRE/ZR1(Mimicking FR1) respectively.
I am not sure which config drives the freight as a credit memo on the MRRL side.

MIRO credit memo and invoice

Need some help with the following:
By mistake posted credit memo in MIRO instead of posting invoice in MIRO. Then reversed the credit memo by going in MR8M. The reversal of credit memo posted an invoice in MIRO. Now we want to post the MIRO invoice but it doesn't post because the PO does not bring up any quantities.
If we ignore this and go straight to pay the vendor, the outgoing amount is zero (because there is a debit and credit of the same amount posted to the vendor account due to invoice and credit memo existing of the same amount). This is because of reversing the credit memo whcih generated the invoice and now the amount is zero.
How do we overcome this. And what is the best practice to reverse a credit memo if entered by mistake instead of choosing invoice in MIRO.

Hi,
Check First Purchase order history,
Goods Received Document,
And Credit memo if exist first reverse MR8M then need to rise invoice.
If credit memo allredy reversed if unable to book invoice Book Direct FI invoice through F-43 respective vedor

Item Pricing date from ref. Invoice not copied into Credit memo request

Hi SAP experts,
If a reference invoice includes several pricing dates on item level
only the first pricing date will be copied into the credit memo request.
Example: Invoice includes three items. First item has pricing date
2007-03-01 and item 20/30 have pricing date 2007-03-03. When creating
a credit memo request with reference to this invoice,
Pricing date 2007-03-01 will be copied to VBKD-PRSDT field
on header/item level.
When the customer has a foreign currency in use, the exchange rate
in the credit memo request will be from 2007-03-01 and not from
2007-03-03 for items 20/30. This is wrong.
Can you help in finding a solution? Copying routines?

Hi,
Yes data transfer routine is the solution for this.You can create and assign a new routine in the copy control at item level for Invoice to Credit memo request.Here you can write the code as to transfer the data of pricing date field form billing document to credit memo request.
This should work.
Reward points if useful.

Diff bet credit memo and credit memo request

Hi
Can any one tell the difference between Credit Memo and Credit Memo Request
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Below is the information on crdit memo request.
Definition: A credit memo request is a sales document used in complaints processing to request credit for a customer.
Use: If the price calculated for the customer was too high (for example, with the wrong scaled prices or because a discount was forgotten), you can create a credit memo request. The credit memo request can be automatically blocked for checking. Once it has been approved, you can remove the block.The system uses the credit memo request to create a credit memo.
Structure: A credit memo request is another type of sales document like a standard order. For more information on sales documents, see Working with Sales Documents.A credit memo request starts the billing process.
=============================================
Below mentioned is the information on Credit Memo.
Definition: The term credit memo always refers to a credit memo from the vendor. Therefore, posting a credit memo always leads to a debit posting on the vendor account.
Use: As in the case of invoices, credit memos refer to purchase orders or goods receipts. They are used to correct the purchase order history if the quantity invoiced was too high, for example, if an invoice was too high or if part of the quantity was returned.
When you post a credit memo, the total quantity in the purchase order history is reduced by the credit memo quantity.
If you do not want the total quantity invoiced to be reduced, you must post the credit memo as a subsequent credit.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if you need more information and please assign points.

F110 - Exclude Credit Memos from original Invoice

Good afternoon,
Our go live was 1 month ago.
We have prepared automatic payment process and everything works perfectly. Mainly, we base our process in the Payment Method Supplement field. Some payment methods group documents following different rules (restricted to 7 rows or as many as request).
Our problem is that our customer does not want credit memos to be included never there (payment terms are taken from original invoice and when they pay the invoice, this credit is included). They want to identify ALWAYS what they are paying fulfilling the Payment Method Supplement field.
Is there any chance not include the credit memo in these payments? For example, not copying Payment Method Supplement from the original invoice? any other idea? Please let me know. Regards,
Javier

Hi Renfe Proyecto Auge ,
You can exclude Credit memos in Additional Fields there you have to select Excluded and from hidden field select document radio button and from the list select Document Type (BKPF-BLART),
after this you have to choose Document type credit memo what ever you maintained for Credit memo, accordingly system will exclude the values from Automatic Payment Run.

Sridhar

hello, friend.
try a query using table VBFA. specify the document category in both preceding (sales invoice) and subsequent documents (debit/credit memos).
this should help you.
regards.
p.s.
in this particular case, in VBFA only credit/debit memos with reference to invoices will be displayed. this can be compared to VA05.
