Error in posting credit memo

Hey,
I posted a credit memo in transaction FB65 but made a mistake by not indicating a check mark in 'calculate tax' box.
I checked transaction FB02 to correct this but there is no option other than reversing the posting.
What is the best way to correct this?
Could someone give the steps involved to correct this mistake?
Thanks

Hello,
You must first reverse the document in error and then capture the document correctly.
In SAP system, this is done to provide an audit of the correction.
Hope this clarifies your doubt.
Thank you

  • Error when posting credit memo in current year

    Hi all,
            When I am trying to do credit posting to an asset in current year it is giving me follwing error. Can someone help me what can be done.
    Balance for transaction type group 10 negative for the area 01
    Message no. AA629
    Asset affected: 000170009993-0000
    Diagnosis
    With the transaction entered, the balance for the transactions in group 10 in area 01 will be negative in this fiscal year. However, the balance of transaction type group 10, according to its definition, must be positive in each fiscal year.
    System Response
    The system rejects this posting.
    Procedure
    Check the transaction type, the amount and the fiscal year in your posting. If you want to post a credit memo to an acquisition from the previous year, then use a transaction type for a retirement. If necessary, you can change balance rules after talking with your SAP consultant.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    i think you've chosen the incorrect tansaction type ( perhaps 100) for your credit note . try to post your CN with another transaction type; e.g. 160 or 161, which do not belong to transaction type group 10.
    you can check this with trx. OA81

  • ABGL Post Credit memo for asset

    Hi,
    In transaction ABGL (Credit Memo in Invoice Year), I wanted to issue credit memo for price difference in acquisition of asset.
    issue background:-
    asset bought without PO (F-90), last year 2010
    Now we want to post Credit memo for this asset.
    Error hit:
    Acquisition value negative in area 01.
    Message no. AA617
    What is this error message mean? How to resolve this?

    Hi,
    in OADB, our setting :-
    Acquisition value = +
    NBV = +
    Investment grants = 0
    Revaluation = 0
    Ordinary depreciat. = *
    Special Depr. = *
    Unplanned Depreciat. = *
    Transfer of reserves = -
    Interest = 0
    Revaluation ord.dep. = 0
    I follow your step, i change acquisition value field to "-", it prompt me this message:-
    Caution: generic values for real depreciation area (refer to long text)
    Message no. AC246
    Diagnosis
    You set up depreciation area 01 so that all types of acquisition values are allowed. However, this only makes sense for derived depreciation areas.
    System Response
    Warning message. The system allows the setting, but note that it can lead to undesired effects for real depreciation areas.
    Procedure
    Check the setting.
    I change theAcquisition value  + to -?

  • 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.

  • Error in creating Credit Memo

    Hi,
    AI is returning the below error for a credit memo
    The document created must have a non-positive total amount because the creation sign for your transaction type is Negative.
    The amount on the line is already having a negative value.
    Can you please advise what could be the issue?
    Regds,
    Jaya

    Hi Octavio,
    There is only 1 line for this CM with line type ='LINE'
    We just saw that previous_customer_trx_id was null for this null. On populating this value manually, the credit memo was generated.
    Not sure why this value was null initially.

  • Error during Cancelation Credit memo document in trasaction MR8M

    Hi experts,
    I have a problem in the transaction MR8M during cancelation credit memo document. The error message no. F5808 occured: The value for field "Part. Bank" in the interface to Financial Accounting is an initial value but you are required to make an entry in the field selection for G/L account "160000" in company code "XXXX" linked to the field selection for posting key "31".
    I checked the field status group for the G/L account 160000, but there is no mandatory field for "Part. Bank". In the posting key 31 is mandatory field "Part. Bank", but problem is, that for the posting key 21 - Credit memo should system use the Reversal posting key 32, which is adjusted in the transaction OB41. I don´t know why the system want to use posting key 31 by reversing credit memo intead of posting key 32, which is in customizing.
    Moreover, I tried to post simple document in FI module with posting key 21 and by reversing this document system used the correct posting key 32, where the field "Part. Bank" is suppress field.
    Do you have any ideas?
    Thanks a lot
    Miroslav

    we just had the same error message F5808 giving the same wrong posting key 31 for credit note cancellation instead of 32.
    We solved the issue like this:
    -access the follow-on document in accounting by FB02
    -complete the field which is said to be mandatory as per the error message
    The change in the FI document is of course not transferred back to the original LIV document but after having "completed" the follow-on document we were able to cancel the LIV document with MR8M without the error message we had before.
    I'll keep Pablos breakpoint (thanks!) in mind if this happens again with a field that cannot be accessed in FB02.
    Regards
    Mark

  • Error when releasing credit memo to accounting

    Hi,

    Anyone know the reason please?
    Thanks,

    This error occurs the following reasons.
    1. Revenue account determination has not been properly set.
    2.check in VOFA where under General control, document type is there, you need to mentioned RZ(Billing doc.transfer) and also check accoun determination procedure in billing documnet as well as credit memo.
    3. copying control.
    Plz check and revert.

  • Transaction unbalance error on making Credit Memo based on AP Inv.

    Hi all,
          when i am making a credit memo, i am getting a error as transaction unbalance. could you please tell me the reason for this, and what is the solution to solve this error.
         TRANSACTION UNBALANCE ON AP INV CREDIT MEMO
    sandip

    Hello,
    This could be possibly caused by no inventory/stock on hand available or it maybe caused by the tax amount is not recorded properly in such journal entries. The tax amount is either recorded on the wrong side (Debit/Credit) or
    without a negative sign. I am afraid it could be caused by application error. Just refer to a related SAP Note 1018541.

  • Post credit memo or vendor red invoice

    Hi everyone,
    How can I configure the posting of a credit memo like a vendor red invoice, but with negative values?
    At the moment the posting is simply reversed, but the ammounts are the same like when posting an invoice.
    Current setting:
    expense  = vendor     (invoice)
    VAT
    vendor = expense     (credit memo)
                 VAT
    Wanted setting for credit memo     ( - )expense  =  ( - ) vendor
                                                       ( - )VAT
    Thanks for your quick reply.
    Daniel.

    Hi Daniel,
    You can achieve this by activating nagative postings allowed, please find the path below,
    Financial accounting>>General Ledger accounting>>Business transactions>>Adjustment posting/reversal>>Permit Nagative postings.
    Kindly note that, you also need to active the same for the document type for which you are posting this reversal.
    In your business case document type would be RE, KG so and so on.
    Regards,
    Ramesh.

  • What is SAP procedure to post credit memo without reference

    Hi,
    I was wondering what is the standard SAP solution for posting a credit memo to a customer without referencing the original sales order.
    The goal is to not have to create a return sales order or post only a credit memo invoice against the original order. I was wondering if this procedure exists? I just need to be able to post the credit to the customer, no refernce necessary.
    Also, Let's say we want to issue a partial credit back to the customer. Is there a way to do this without reference. I would actually like to know what are the best recommended ways for using both with and without reference to the original sales order.
    Last item. After the credit is posted. What is the best way to reverse the payment. Should I use txn FB08?
    Thanks for your help,
    Best, Erik

    Thanks G. Do you happen to know how to reverse out the payment with or without reference to the original order?
    For instance. I want to reverse multiple payments out together by grouping the a total. So basically i will group the total credit memo balance and post in FB70..Then i need to group the total payment balance and post. Is there a procedure for the payment portion.
    Thanks again for your help.
