ML81N Negative Quantity Posting for Credit or Difference Adjustments.

ECC 5.0 - DIMP
This is a VERY, VERY common situation at nearly all companies where a credit or small difference may occur between the invoice amount and the SES. Reversing / canceling and reentering documents, along with all of the additional accounting documents created is not an appropriate option.
=========================
I have a situation with Service Entry Sheets where a vendor delivers services for a PO line item. There can be MANY service entries, and MANY invoices for a single PO Line item.
Invoices are posted against the open GR SES amount on the PO Line Item and not specifically to the service entry sheet. As a result there may be more than one invoice tied to a single service entry sheet. The reversal option would requie
When credits come in, or when vendor discounts are taken the SES amount does not match but there is a need to ensure that the SES amount matches the vendor credit amount (whether credit memo or discounts taken).
NUMEROUS SAP OSS Notes say that Negative Service Entry Sheet Amounts are possible, and in the first step I even get an SE042 warning message about the negative quantity. However, when I press ENTER to go past the warning I then get messgae SE396 as a hard error and the dialog box for the error has JUST an exit button causing the entire transaction to exit the process.
Has anyone ever worked successfully with negative service entry sheet quantities?
If so, what were your lessons learned?
Here are some of the notes I have reviewed, and the ability to do the negative SES quantity goes back to 4.6:
365648
375799
411262
455707
1068156
1166693

Hi Bill,
If you try to save an SES with ONLY a negative quantity you will receive
the following error Value of specs. less than zero (function cannot be
performed) Message no. SE396.
You can enter negative VALUES based on the
following rules:
The service specifications contain lines with negative values.
Service lines with negative values are only allowed if the following
conditions are fulfilled:
The total value of the specifications is positive.
The total value of each account assignment is positive.
Please see other notes attached.

Can anyone help? Really appreciate that.
Thanks and Regards.

Inventory issue with negative quantity

Hi Everybody,
My project is in Production Support & I'm stuck at one point.
I have an inventory cube which shows correct quantity values for issues and receipts but shows negative in the file.
We send a file to business through infospoke.
I have done various analysis but never got to the root cause of the issue.
Can anybody give me suggestions or different ways of analysis???
Parthiv.

Thanks for your reply Engin,
You are right with that. I have checked and it is good till the cube. The total quantity matches with database table. There is a BAdI implementation at the infospoke to export the data to a file.
The file contains negative quantity values for more than 156,000 records.
The code used in BAdI :
          i_data_out-material = i_data_in2-material.
          i_data_out-plant    = i_data_in2-plant.
          i_data_out-stor_loc = i_data_in2-stor_loc.
          i_data_out-totalstock =
                          i_data_in2-rectotstck - i_data_in2-isstotstck.
But the file shows negative value of isstotstck as total quantity.

Negative quantity in BOM

Hi Experts,
I wanted to know is negative quantity allowed for BOM components? Is yes, why?
Thanks,
Gulshan

hi,
The following example is able to understood usage of negative quantity in bom material list.
example:
If you look at a petro chemical refining industry their main input material will be "Crude oil" during refining they get "Petrol", "Diesel", "Kerosene", "Naptha" & "Water" etc...
So the whole of the production cost should not go to "Petrol" alone, as Diesel, Kerosene and "Naptha" are also sellable. Water is not sold out, but is being used internal for the operation.
In this scenario "Petrol". "Diesel", "Kerosene" and "Naptha" are defined as co-products in the material master. And the cost which needs to be distributed among them are in the ratio 30:30:20:20, so in the joint production details we select the apportionment structure, and here we define the equivalence number by entering the materials and numbers as required by us as 30:30:20:20.
Now BOM is defined for the main product "Petrol" and Diesel", "Kerosene", "Naptha" and Water are defined in -ve quantity. Here the definition of water goes as "BiProduct". Crude oil is defined as component in +ve quantity. Now during order costing/product costing/settlement considers the entire cost of production based on the crude oil cost and infrastructure cost and it splits into the ratio defined in the equivalence number.

Need negative quantity non-inventory items on Credit Memo

Version: (2007A)
Description of requirements: (Please provide a detailed description)
Our customer issues many invoices with a negative quantity line item for a miscellaneous non-inventory item. These non-inventory items are used to reduce the amount of the invoice regarding miscellaneous credits to their customers. These are not discounts.
When the customer wants to credit these invoices, they canu2019t create a Credit Memo based on the invoice because SAP wonu2019t allow this if there are line items with negative amounts.
When they create a credit memo not based on an invoice, they arenu2019t allowed to enter a negative quantity for a line item as they are for an Invoice. They are forced to create a credit memo not based on an invoice the inventory item line items and an invoice or Journal Entry for the negative quantity line item to debit back the miscellaneous line amount.
As an example:
Invoice line item one for inventory item: qty one, price 100,line total $100.00
Invoice line item two non-inventory item misc credit: quanity -1, price 10, total -$10.00
Invoice Total $90.00
In Order to provide the correct credit amount, they have to create a Credit Memo not based on an invoice for line item one, qty one, price 100 u2013 value -100 and an invoice for the non-inventory item for qty one, price 10 - value 10.00.
This creates a net credit for the customer of 90.00
This looks ridiculous to their customers when they see these transactions on their statements, creates extra work for the users and there is no link between the three documents.
By using inventory items for these miscellaneous credits, they can assign a sales revenue of their choice. They have multiple sales accounts and the GL posting is determined by the item group for the item. By assigning the desired item group to these non-inventory items, they can control which sales account is updated on their marketing documents when using these non-inventory items.
If they were to use the Freight items, they would need a separate freight setup entry for combination of item group and miscellaneous credit. Because they have so many Item Groups and types of credits, they would need a great many separate Freight Charges to choose from.
All of the above pertains to all of our customers. This customer has a custom add-on and their marketing documents are all created from custom objects. They hit a button on the custom sales contract screen and an invoice is created. When they hit another button on the screen, the selected invoice is credited. They have legally binding contracts for fixed quantities to be shipped, so we decrease the quantity shipped when creating an invoice and decrease the quantity shipped when a credit memo is created. The contract is fulfilled when the exact quantity contracted for has been shipped. Because the credit memo fails, we canu2019t update the custom objectu2019s remaining to be shipped, rendering it inaccurate from that time forward. (reducing the quantity shipped is part of the Credit Memo creation process).Creating Credit Memos and Invoices from the interface fixes the inventory count, customer balance, etc., but we have no way of fixing the sales contractu2019s quantity shipped & remaining to be shipped or linking the contracts to the documents created from the interface.
Business needs: (Please describe the impact on your business, if the functionality is not realized)
Examples: (Please describe a typical example, how the functionality should work.)
Credit Memos should allow negative quantities and line total amounts for non-inventory items, the same way that A/R Invoices do, so that credit memos can be based on invoices that have negative quantity non-inventory line items.
Current Workaround: (Please describe the workarounds you are using at the moment)
Please see above
Proposed solution: (Please suggest how the new functionality should work)
Credit Memos should allow negative quantities and line total amounts for non-inventory items, the same way that A/R Invoices do.

Hi Sean......
System is behaving properly as per its logic. Infact it does same in all the previous or upcoming versions.
If you have Item Type GRPO for Non Inventory Item it does not create any accounting but you can see the same during AP invoice.
GRPO for such type is only optional. For further clarification you can discuss this with your CA what he suggests. But i suggest you to raise AP invoice also for getting Account effect. Just see doing this in test DB you get your answer......

Rahul

Negative quantity not allowed for Put Away Planned

Dear Experts,
I'm trying to activate the PDI document but the system show the error message: Negative quantity not allowed for Put Away Planned.
I was looking the document flow from the item 10 and I saw there is one task was created with quantity "1 box" and the same document was cancelled but the quantity "2 box" was cancelled. I believe because of this is happening the error.
All items from my HU is with the same problem, duplicate the quantity during canceling.
Somebody can give me advice how fix it.
I found a SAPNote but Note 1674037:Negative Put Away Planned quantity (PWP) due to "Store HUs" but I need a workaround to fix my actual PDI and finish the process.
Regards,
Alan Mattos

Hi Petr,
I checked the transaction SMQ2 and I dont have anything stuck there. Then I tried to change de deliveryquantity but the field quantity isn't available to change. My PDI document already been the Goods Receipt Status "Completed". I try to reverse this document and the system show the message: Delivery is locked (Posting Not Possible). I believe its happening because the PDI isn't active.
Do you have other idea ???
Thank you a lot for your help.

Difference between doing revaluation of an asset and posting a credit memo

Hi all,
My cleint wants to know what exactly is the difference between posting a credit memo to an asset and doing revaluation of an asset.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Krishna

hi,
revaluation: An adjustment to asset values to compensate for a reduction in the value of a currency because of inflation or when adopting market value principles for the valuation of fixed assets.Revaluation enables you to valuate assets at their replacement value (which differs from the acquisition and production costs).
credit memo: A posting that reduces the balance of the asset

User Exit for credit management at confirmed quantity in sales order

Dear All ,
kinldy tell how to define a user exit and where i can write for credit check to be done to the confirmed quantity in the sales order .
Also pls tell me that how to define the user exit and attach to customer reserve field in the customising for automatic credit control .
regards
Baranidharan Ramar

Hi
The following is the information from the sap documentation...you can also refer from IMG - SD - System modification - userexit - userexit for credit check
Credit Check
If you want to carry out your own individual credit checks, that differ from those in the standard system, you must define them in the following user exits:
LVKMPTZZ
LVKMPFZ1: USER_CREDIT_CHECK1
LVKMPFZ2: USER_CREDIT_CHECK2
LVKMPFZ3: USER_CREDIT_CHECK3
User exit for availability check
User exit USEREXIT_AVAIL_CHECK_CREDIT exists in Include MV45AFZF.
This user exit allows you to determine whether the system should or should not carry out an availability check after a blocked document has been released or after a new credit check.
Thanks,
Ravi

Additional field for quantity posted

Dear Friends,
While doing UD there are some fields for the quantity posting such as to unrestricted,to scrap,to block etc.but there is no field for to rework or rejection.As practically there may be a situation that the material which is non confirming in quality may me rework & clear it ok.
now please tell how can i add that field for rework in that area.
Please reply.
Regards,
Chandra.

Dear Chandra
My suggestion will be use Block for Rework purpose. Please add this in your Blue Print process.
Please find the rework process for your reference
Rework & rejection
1. Reject the material in QA32 to block stock
2. Reverse faulty material using Tcode MB1A u2013 262 movement type against the production order
3. if you need to scrap highly faulty materials use Tcode MB1A u2013 551 movement type against a cost centre
4. Create a rework order using Tcode Co01 order type (PP03)
5. Enter the Parent production order number in the goods receipt tab in Co01. (inbound delivery)
6. Issue goods against the rework order using MIGO
7. confirm the rework order through co11n
8. Move the material back from block to quality using Tcode MB1B u2013 349 movement type (activate 08 inspection)
9. Inspection lot created
10. do the posting accordingly
