Duplicate CREDIT MEMO

Hi everybody,
When it comes to the Invoice (in MIRO) the default system settings check for the Company Code, Vendor Number, Reference Field (at the invoice header) and Invoice Date to validate if the invoice is a duplicate one.
BUT that is only for INVOICE.
The same does not happen when you choose the CREDIT MEMO option in MIRO. So, i can post MULTIPLE credit memos with the same Invoice Date, same Amount and same Reference Text.
Is this standard behaviour? If no, am i doing something wrong.
Any suggestions how to avoid a duplicate CREDIT Memo.
Please help.
Maars.

Hi,
Everything is working as expected when i choose option 1 in the dropdown in MIRO (ie., for INVOICE). SAP successfully stops me from creating a duplicate invoice.
But when i choose option 2 in MIRO (ie., CREDIT MEMO) the system does not stop me when i create TWO credit memos with the SAME
a) Document Date
b) Reference Text
c) Amount
The vendor has already been enabled to prevent double invoice posting (in case of duplicates).
Please help.

F-41 vs MIRO - duplicate credit memo not checked in MIRO

Hi,
We used to do F-41 for credit memos to our suppliers. We recently decided to use MIRO instead. We realized that the system does not warn the user anymore when he tries to enter a duplicate credit memo.
In F-41, when we enter 2 credit memos with the same information:
-Vendor
-Currency
-Company code
-Gross amount of the invoice
-Reference document number
-Invoice document date
This error message appears: check whether document has already been entered under number ADM XXXXXXXXX XXXX.
Using MIRO, we don't get this error message anymore. We would like this message to appear also in MIRO.
Is it a functional issue?
I checked the master data of the supplier, and the check box Chk double inv. is checked.
Is it a configuration issue?
I checked t-code OMRDC and the 3 check box are marked with a check (check co. code, check reference, check inv. date).
I looked at SAP help and it says: When you enter credit memos or subsequent adjustments, the system does not check for duplicate invoices. I'm not so sure what this statement means....
Many thanks for your help.
Julien

Check for Duplicate Credie Memos

Hi ,
We have set up the Duplicate invoice check for our company code.
Also, in the vendor master we have the " Chk. duplicate invoice " activated. This should check both the invoices and credit memos for duplicate entries.
However, the same is not working in the case of credit memos and all the parameters such as company code , reference and the invoice date are same for both the credit memos ( even the amount and other parameters ). In the documentation, it is mentioned that this would work for both the invoices and credit memos.
Still the system does not issue a warning message for the same.
Can anyone suggest .
Thanks,
Srikanth.

Credit memo duplicate check in ZMIRO transaction

Hi Expert,
In Standard SAP, we cannot find whether the credit memo is duplicate or not. System will not through any warning or error message if you enter duplicate credit memo.
For that, we need to use SAP note # 305277.
My Client is using customized transaction "ZMIRO" in place of "MIRO".
Can we apply the above note # in order to find out the duplicate credit memo while doing invoice verification?
Thanks & Regards
Rifaie M

Hi ,
If ZMIRO is just a transactional variant than i am pretty certain that OSS note wil work as its checking based on std SAP tables like
if its a completely new txn and very different from MIRO than we have a problem, otherwise give it a try may be in your sandbox system

Create Credit memo with reference to billing in VF01

Hi all:
I want to create a credit memo with direct reference to the original billing. Thus the creation of CMR is not required. This is the new feature as of release 4.5a. In SAP system, I've done the configuration for copying control from billing document to billing document, source (F2) target (G2). Copying requirement 027. Pos/neg qty = + and Pricing type = D. I can create a credit memo with reference to a billing now. However, the system allow multiple credit memos. Duplicate credit memo are unwanted in the system.
How to control the system to avoid duplicate credit memo?
Thanks and regards,

Cancel Duplicate MIRA(Credit Memo)

Dear All
We are following LIV process.
My case is as follows:
I have done 101Movement type for GR,done MIRA and then MIR6 to post Incoming Invoice.
Later ,rejected few quantity through line rejection by doing 122 Movement type(GR created).Then again raised Credit Memo which got held up due to some system error(Please note that accounting document is not created here).Then instead of posting this Credit Memo,raised new Credit Memo which got posted corrected and accounting impact is taken care off.
My problem is to cancel the earlier Credit Memo as Accounting effect is not taken care in this one and it is a mere duplication .
Please advise.
Thanks In Advance
Payal Saxena

Hi Payal,

Diferente Control Account in A/P Credit Memo copied from A/P Invoice

The new Invoice was created with a differente Control Account from the assign in BP Master Data of Vendor X.

Copy AR invoice to Credit Memo

In B1 2005A SP01 PL 36, you cannot create a Credit memo from a closed invoice. This is extremely restrictive as the majority of product returns occur after the invoice has been paid. Is there an update to 2005A that provides this capability or does 2007 offer it? If not, this really should be considered since the Credit memo is used to return money to the customer. Not having to reenter the information would be a time saver and a potential reduction of entry errors. In our instance, all of our products are under Batch management and the credit memo has to put the stock back into the correct batch. This should automatically done from copying the original AR.

Hi Art,
Here are the postings as performed in my UK localisation testdatabase:
AR invoice:
BP account Debit 117.50
VAT @ 17.5% Credit 17.50
Revenue Credit 100.00
Credit Card Payment:
Credit Card account Debit 117.50
BP Account Credit 117.50
Cancellation of Credit Card Payment:
Credit Card account Debit -117.50
BP Account Credit -117.50
The payment is reconciled with the original invoice & the cancellation.
The invoice is reconciled with the payment & the cancellation, yet in status 'open' because the payment has been cancelled & the balance due is back on the account.
The invoice will appear in the open items list as unpaid & is available as base document for a credit memo. You can then use the 'copy from' or 'copy to' functionality to creste the credit memo based on the invoice.
The invoice will then be reconciled with:
a) the payment
b) the cancellation of the payment
c) the credit memo
If you use the invoice as base document for only a partial credit memo, then you will need to either create another payment to clear the balance due or another credit memo.
As I outlined above, the reason for 'locking' a fully reconciled invoice is because this particular transaction is completed. This is of importance, especially if there is stock with serial/batch numbers involved. Depending on the industry, it is of vital importance to keep track of batches & being able to duplicate a batch/serial number when the original transaction is completed, would lead to inconsistencies. Also,
if there has been no stock transaction prior to the invoice, this is done on the same journal entry. So if, say 100 items of your stock left the warehouse at a MAP of 1 each at the invoice stage, the value of your warehouse is reduced by 100. If you base the credit memo on the invoice, this stock is always received back with a value of 100. If the MAP changes, say to 1.5 & you the create an independent credit memo, then the items are received back with the new MAP of 1.5 since there is no link to the original, outgoing, document.
Therefore, the process should be:
1. AR invoice (Status: open)
2. Payment (AR invoice status: closed)
3. Cancel Payment (AR invoice status: open)
4. Credit memo (full- AR invoice status: closed, partial-AR invoice status: open)
5. Payment/credit memo if balance due (AR invoice status: closed)
All the best,
Kerstin

Warning message while posting Credit Memo.

Hi Guru,
Currently the Invoice shows a soft warning message if a same number
in Reference field (XBLNR) is used to post two different inovices.
the client wants the same kind of Soft message to be appeared in case of a same number is used in the Reference Field when Posting credit memo. I think the check shd be against Accounting Doc right??
Incase of invoice we have a check for duplicate invoice in SPRO and we can maintian it..
What about credit Memo??? we do have any config...to my knowledge we need technical development.
In Se91 i will go and create new Message and assign it to M8(Message Class for invoice)........and do assignments in OBA5
Now the soft warning msg can be achieved only by calling this msg in ABAP Code right??? can be done thru Config..?????.
if any other details if i need to know please do let me know.....or anyother suggestions....to achieve this,,,
Is it a Config or Developement ???
Thanks for the support
Balaji

In OBA7 if i check the "Reference number" that means while entering the document the reference number is compulsory field.
and in vendor master i already checked the docueble invoce check that is why while posting KR it is giving the warning message.

Duplication of credit memo

Hi,
How can we check the duplication of credit memo.
In case of invoice we can do setting " Set Check for Duplicate Invoices". similarly do we have any facility to set check for the duplication of credit memo. my client wants the system to throw an error when a credit memo is entered with same reference no.
Thanks in advancce.
Regards
GP

Please refer to the SAP Library -> Logistics -> Material Management
->Logistics Invoice Verificaion -> Invoice Verfication Online ->
Balance -> Check for duplication of Invoice entry
"Only invoices are checked. When you enter credit memos or subsequent
debit or credits, the system does not check for duplicate invoices in
logistics.
If a previously created document is canceled and then created again, the
system does not display a message."
Please read this documentation for further details on duplicate
invoices.
Please refer to note 305201 - Description: Check for duplicate invoices
"In the invoice verification in MM, only invoices are checked"
If you want to check whether a corresponding credit memo has already
been entered when you enter credit memos, implement the modification
proposal from note 305277.
Hope the information help.

Sabrix Issue..Regarding "Extra CREDIT MEMO's"

Hello Guys,
This is very urgent....My client has a high priority issue.
The issue is regarding credit invoices.when we pulled the month end reporting that we do every month in Sabrix, we noticed some weird reporting with regards to some orders. For some reason Sabrix is showing that some of the invoices were credited back to the customer several times. The strange thing is that Sabrix is showing a separate and distinct invoice number for each instance that the order was credited back.
But there is no transaction information in oracle for all the duplicate credit invoices, also one thing to note is that the line numbers are the same for all of the additional credit lines…
Any help on the issue would be greatly appreciated and please let me know from where and how does the data flow back and forth that possibily creates credit memos...
Thanks….

Hi,
Check with your SD functional, Incompletion procedures can be set partner wise. They can create a new procedure and assign to the partner functions for one time. So, that it can be overcome.
Hope it helps.
