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

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.

Credit-memo not able to be posted against a WBS Element

Hi there,
When the available amount on a WBS element is less than the credit memo amount, SAP gets a hard stop of budget exceeded.
It`s wrong since a credit is giving money back to the project and you should be able to enter it regardless of available funds.
Important notes: I'm trying to post this credit-memo against the WBS Element via MIRO transaction (credit memo option).
Is there any customizing in IM where I can define it?
Regards and thanks in advance.

Hi,
You are trying to post a credit memo again a purchase order since its via MM. Therefore how can you have a credit memo value exceeding the original invoice value?
If you are trying to post an advance (as you have mentioned that you are receiving money to the project), it should be recored as an advance rather than a credit memo. Consider the double entry you want to post to.

Hi,
to cance a cancellation document, check note 388489.
But the status of the original document won't change thus you cannot cancel it again. The solution is creating a debit memo.

SD Credit memo note process

Hi Gurus,
My concern is " My user was creating Credit memo note on certain order reasons, and based on this order he will be doing billing, now he want that system has to trigger separate G/L accounts based on order reasons. Can it be done in standard SAP system.
Please consider this issue as top priority.
Thanks and regards
SUBBU

You can give order reason in VKOA, but first you shall have to create a cond table with the appropriate fields (like Order reason)
it is same as giving Acc Key (ERL etc.) in VKOA, but first you have to create a cond table with field Account key.
It is all part of standard configuration.
Order reason is a field already provided (technical name mentioned by member). You have to complete the configuration steps, which shall lead to amount being posted to right account, after system finds a valid condition record.
Thus check if there is a cond table already with the fields you want.
Check if this cond table is in your access seq.
Then create condition record in VKOA
Test by creating and posting a credit memo.

Printing Credit Memos on Checks

My question revolves around finding a solution to printing credit memos on checks.
Currently we have a client who prefers to to show his credit memo's on his check stubs therefore they do not associate the credit memo to the AP invoice but leave it open so that they can associate it during the Outgoing Payment process. As such, when they print out the check, the VENDOR REFERENCE NUMBER for their AP Credit Memo is a random generated system number and not the VENDOR REFERENCE NUMBER on the AP Credit Memo.
I understand that is due to the fact that the PLD setting is only extracting the VENDOR REF. NUMBER from INVOICES only and an AP CREDIT MEMO is not an INVOICE; therefore, it gives me an random generate number sequence.
I wanted to know if anyone has a solution to this issue so that the INVOICE and CREDIT MEMO both show up on the CHECK STUB with the correct VENDOR REF. NUMBER from the correct fields. Thank you.
Warmest Regards,
Kaus

Cancellation / Reversal of Credit memos and Check for payment

I have few cases where the credit memos and check for payment documents have been keyed with an incorrect posting date.
What should be best approach to reverse these transactions.

Hi Somchitra,
in such situations ideally you would use the cancellation document standing on the original document, alas, a credit memo has no target document.
You will need to create an invoice with exactly the same data as in the credit memo & then internally reconcile these transactions. If the credit memo was in itself generated from an invoice, you need to cancel that reconciliation first. After that you re-create the credit memo with exactly the same data, just with the correct dates.
To cancel the cheques for payment you need to cancel the payment itself with the original document date & 'Cancelled' will be put in the 'Remarks' on the cheque.
You will then need to recreate the payment with the correct dates.
If you have already confirmed the printing of the cheque, you'll need to issue a new cheque number & destroy the printed copy, if it hasn't been printed, you can select the appropriate number in the 'Cheque number confirmation' window.
As always when correcting transactions, please keep an eye on the stock transactions & make sure they are correct. Also, for auditing purposes, always enter an approriate text in the 'remarks'.
All the best,
Kerstin

MIRO subsequent Credit Memo

Hello Everyone,
When I am posting a subsequent credit memo through MIRO for a Purchase Order with account assignment category Asset,
I am getting the following error message
"Balance for transaction type group 10 negative for the area 01
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".
Can you please let me how to change the Transaction type in MIRO or how to go abt this issue.
Thanks in Advance
Vaman A

Hi,
Good evening and greetings,
The solution for your problem is as below
For this posting change the +/- sign allowed for the transaction type group to '*'.
First you must activate the maintenance of the table in the ABAP dictionary for table TABWG (transaction SE11).
You should then call transaction SE16. Enter table TABWG and select the affected transaction type group. Set the value '*' in field VZJSA.
Once you have made the posting, you should decide whether you want to set the /- sign check again (VZJSA = ''), or whether a negative balance should continue to be allowed for this transaction type group.
Alternatively, you can also change the proposed transaction type for the invoice receipt of affiliated companies. To do this, go to IMG Asset Accounting -> Transactions -> Determine transaction type for internal transactions.
Instead of transaction type 152, enter transaction type 151 there under 'Acquisition from invoice receipt (affiliated)'.
Check whether transaction type 151 in your system corresponds to the transaction type 151 described in note 327088.
This is as per SAP OSS Note 139899 - AA629 when posting MR01/MRHR/MIRO invoice receipt
Please reward points if found useful
Thanking you
With kindest regards

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 not applied to Invoice

One of our customers has had this scenario several times recently:
1. An A/R Invoice is created for 100.00
2. An A/R Credit memo is based on the invoice for 100.00
3. The Credit Memo is added.
4. The Credit Memo is closed, but the invoice remains open.
5. Both the invoice and credit memo appear as unreconciled transactions.
6. The user attempts to reconcile the two documents.
7. The invoice is then closed, but the credit memo becomes open and has a balance of -100.00
The problem occurs at step 4 - why would the documents not be reconciled, and why is the invoice open while the credit memo is closed? Nothing works right from that point on.
The system is 2007A PL42.
Any suggestions would be welcome. Thank you.
Marcia

Hi Marcia,
An upgrade might stop it from occurring, I don't recall seeing this for a while. 2007A goes out of maintenance at the end of this year.
