Post Zero Amount Invoices

Hi,
SBO 6.5 and the DI doesn't allow postings of zero amount (doctotal=0) invoices.
This is an essential missing feature, e.g. give items for free away for marketing purposes, because it effects the stock.
Is a workaround / fix available to solve this problem available or will this be fixed in the next release?
Thanks,
Gerold

Hi,
Currently an Invoice of -0- total cannot be entered.
This feature might entered to version 2005 (6.8)
In the meantime - the solution is to create a <b>Delivery Note</b> with -0- total which will create a transaction in stock <u>but not</u> in accounting.

AP Invoice zero amount

Hi all
Is there any workaround to change a zero AP Invoice from Open to Closed?
Our Client accidentally changed AP Invoice zero amount invoice from Closed to Open in SBO 8.82 PL7
However the Cancel function is not available for them.
Kedalene

Hi Nagarajan
Sorry for the trouble, the option to copy to credit note is available,
but user does not want to try that. Reasons are because:
1) Creating a A/P Credit Memo will effectively (issue out the stock), not just
closing the status.
2) The item was already sold and issued out.
3) It is a serial numbered item.
This zero AP Invoice is no longer in outstanding AP Aging or internal BP reconciliation.

How do I post a Poland SD Correction Invoice for zero amount

Hi,
Our setup for creation of Correction Invoices for Poland is as follows:
1) Create a correction Sales Order with reference to the original Customer invoice - this is a custom-designed document showing the current and 'to be' lines that will eventually appear on the correction invoice.
2) Create the correction invoice with reference to this correction sales order.
One of our business users has a situation where all the goods from a delivery were damaged, and a credit is needed as a result. The goods are not being returned, as the quantity is small. Therefore this should in theory be a correction invoice, to amend the amount invoiced to zero.
How can this be processed? I can't create and bill a Correction Sales Order for it, as the 'to be' line item needs to be set to zero, and SAP therefore treats the Order as incomplete - and you can't bill an incomplete document.
Of course we could just process a Return and then mark the stock as scrapped, but if possible we would prefer to find a solution using Correction Invoices.
Can anyone advise?
Val

Hi,
You need to use Returns scenario for this purpose and reutnr whole quanitites and created Corrective Invoice for the whole quantity where 'was' section should present the data from original invoice and 'to-be' section should present all items with qty zero. You need to get the 'was' section from original invoice and play with the 'to-be' section on the printout. Pelase remember also to put the correction reason 'Goods returned by customer', as it is Polish law requirement as well.

Marcin

Can a credit memo be posted with zero amount?

Can a credit memo be posted with zero amount? What would it mean, that the goods qty have been posted free of cost?
Pls reply...
Thanks,
Swati.

yes, It depends upon the procurement...
I have raised a PO for 100 pieces, But the Vendor will supply only in Dozens..
That means for 100 pices , we will receive 9 Dozens( 108 pieces)..
Similarly some times if it's a Fragile material , the Vendor will send more pieces as a buffer..
If IR Qty > GR Qty , it becomes Qty variance..
Similarly I received 100 Qty & 5 pieces are Sub-Standard, then I will raise Credit memo for that...

Outgoing payment with Zero amount when Full adance is paid

I am making A/P down payment request based on purchase order, then I make full payment of PO (full advance payment - no amount of payment left with) through "Outgoing payment" which creates negative amount in Business partner balance and shows a negative entry in "outgoing payment" screen. Moving further, I make Goods receipt PO and then I make A/P invoice of regular amount based on goods receipt PO / Purchase order.
Up till now, the full payment has been made in advance through A/P down payment request and upon receiving goods the A/P invoice of regular amount is received. Now when I go to "outgoing payments" I have no amount left to pay (i.e. It displays 2 entries of same amount, one with positive amount of A/P invoice and the other one with negative amount of A/P down payment request to show the due balance = zero) So I am trying to clear the vendor "outgoing payments" by paying with Zero amount, but the system shows the error "The confirmation amount should be greater than Zero".
How can I clear the vendor "Outgoing payments" with zero amount ?? as it's payment has been made in advance.
Note: Please give me the solution by keeping in mind that I have to pay full amount in advance.
Solution to this problem would be highly appreciated.
Thanks and regards,
Farhan Sufi

Hi Farhan Sufi,
For Cases where full Advance is paid initially, You Follow these procedure, I have tested in my DB its working fine.
Step 1: Raise a Purchase order Say Rs 1000/-
Step 2: Raise a GR(PO) of Rs 1000/-
Step 3: Go To A/P Down Pmt -
Select the Vendor -
Say copy from GR(PO), And select te One you wanted. At the bottom in the DPM Field give 100% and Add the Document.
Step 4: Raise Out Going Payment by linking to the A/P Down Pmt what you have posted. ie., Go To Out Going Pmt Screen---Select the Vendor, This will display all invoices, Down pmts, Credit Memos, and JE's. Select the A/P Down Pmt what you have posted and go to payment means fill in the respective field and add the document.
Step 5: Go To A/P Invoice Screen, select the vendor. And click on Copy from GR(PO), Select the respective GR(PO) document.
And At the Bottom double click on Total Down Payment Button, This will display the list of all Down Payments for which Out going payments are also posted. Here Select the respective Down payment and add the document.
When you add this A/P Invoice document gets added and the status of the document will be closed. As you have made full payment in the A/P Down Payment Screen.
And This Invoice will not appear in the Out Going Screen as the document is closed.
Cheers,
Sree.

     GR/IR     Dr   xx
     G/L Acc Cr   xx

EDI Credit Memo with Zero amount

Dear Experts,
We are using EDI for MIRO Invoice posting. PO is Non-GR Based Invoice. So IR has been automatcally posted first (ex: qty = 4)
Then GR has been posted also with qty =4. Then Credit memo was posted with Qty = 1, but we noticed that the posting has zero amount, then Accounting Document has posting to Stock Account and GR/IR Clearing account with amount = to 1 Qty.
Can anyone explain what happened? I know that Credit Memo posting should have posting to Vendor Account, but this case it didn't happen.
Thank you in advance.

Hi.. thanks for your input.
Yes, I understand that the posting is coming from Vendor, but I am confused, why the posting has zero amount?
As I understand, credit memo is dealing with the amount of the qty that might be has defect that we have to deduct this amount to Vendor payment. But what happened is, it only posted to Stock Account and GR/IR clearing account, no Vendor Line was created in the FI Doc because in the IR document itself does not have the amount.
Thank you and your further input will be highly appreciated.

Posting a Parked Invoice

Hi All,
I am developing a report to post the parked invoices.
For this i have used the function module 'MRM_INVOICE_READ' and the function module 'MRM_PARKED_INVOICE_POST'.
But when i select a parked invoice from the ALV Grid display and click on the post button i get a warning message like 'Invoice quantity greater than PO Quantity(NO GR)'.
Can anyone suggest how to overcome this or is there any other function module to POST the parked invoice.
In this case there is no GR done for the Purchase order.

Hi,
this is how i see it:
parked invoices can only be posted when they have no errors.
With the simulation button you can display all errors available.
In your case you receive the message: Invoice quantity greater than PO Quantity
go to the invoice in question via MIR4 + F7 and correct the error.
You have two options:
1.- decrease the amount to be invoiced.
2.- increase the amount of the po.
Check as well how tolerances are set in your system.
Best regards.

Exchange rate '00', amount ' 18.16' and currency key 'INR'.
The data in the transaction currency were transferred from the calling application.

Hi all,
There is no excess amount in the transaction.
IN Po Excise value@8%: 1,815.88
Ecess@ 2% on EXcise:36.32
HecesL:1%: 18.16
This is how it is.
Before this i have posted one thread on Part I does Not Exist, based on this i was in the forum and i found in one thread to cancel the GR and cancel the Excise Invoice if Part II has not been posted.
When i have done this it has given me one message that Reverse the availed Cenvat Credit - basing on this i am trying to post Vendor Excise Invoice and then i have to cancel the Internal Invoice.
This is what i have done.
So kindly let me know where i am wrong.

How to generate 3 payment due dates& 3 posting against single invoice?

Hello Experts,
Kindly provides some inputs on below requirement.
For example :- In the Utility Bill,
Consumption months: June, July, August
Meter Reading taken in August
Billing Months: September, October, November
Bill generated in August
Consumer receives the bill on September month
Payment Due dates: 12 Sep 2009, 12 Oct 2009 and 12 Nov 2009
Issues-:
1.How to generate three posting against single invoice?
2.How to generate three payment due dates for above postings in three consecutive months since payment due date logic is incremental in nature here, e.g.
1st due date = posting date + 15 days
2nd due date = 1st due date + 30 days
3rd due date = 2nd due date + 30 days
Requirement description:-
The utility generates bill quarterly for domestic consumers. For such consumers, the utility takes reading from the consumers premises after end of consumption period (quarterly ) and generates bill on the 1st billing month (here 1st billing month is September).
In the bill the utility divides total consumption into three parts (considering each part for each consumption month) and calculates all charge heads separately on each part. It however, consolidates and generates a single bill having three rows, each row showing charge heads of each consumption month and also net and gross amount to be given for each consumption month.
Moreover, three postings have to be generated in FICA against that single bill. Also, it provides three due dates to the consumer, each date falling in each billing month, to pay the above three net amounts respectively. Dunning and other activities should be triggered if the consumer fails to pay the stipulated amount by corresponding due date.
Looking forward for valuable suggestions
Thanks in advance

Vaseem

Issue in Posting of Vendor Invoice

Hi
I am having an issue in posting of vendor invoice. In simulation mode, the system is showing the correct calculation of TDS amounts. but when I am trying to post the Invoice , the TDS entries created by the system are deleted and system gives:
Error Message - The excise year could not be determined for generating the numbers for TDS certificates. The number range is linked to the Excise Year and not on the financial year directly.
Procedure - Check the customising done for the company code in the India version IMG. Maintain the start month for the excise year correctly.
There is no error for other company codes in the system and this happens for only one company code.
Under the India version for extended with holding tax , we have maintained the withholding tax number group and SAP Script forms , assigned number range to number groups and maintained number ranges for the company code.
Pls suggest
Regards
Sanil Bhandari
TDS Certificates. The number ra
on the financial year directly

Hi,
Just check if in the Withholding tax Type configuration - The Withholding tax certificate check box is checked. Just read the help for what is the implication of ticking that checkbox. This may be the problem.

Report to post a parked invoices parked using transaction MIR7

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement of developing a report that will post the parked invoices, parked using the transaction MIR7. While posting I need to check whether the invoice amount is in par with PO price. If there is any price variance, I need to assign the increased price to a different G/L account.
I understand that I should use the Function Modules 'MRM_INVOICE_READ' and 'MRM_PARKED_INVOICE_POST'. But it is not working for me. Forget about assigning the PO variance to different G/L account, I am unable to even post a simple parked invoice using these function modules.
The invoice data, especially item data (ti drseg), is not sufficient to populate to 'MRMPARKED_INVOICE_POST'. Some one help me how to fill the internal table ti_drseg so as to pass it to function module 'MRM_PARKED_INVOICE_POST'.
Please provide me if any standard reports are available to post the parked invoices.
Thanks,
Naresh Babu Kandula.

Hi,
maybe something like:
REPORT zz_post_parked_invoice.
TYPE-POOLS: mrm, mmcr.
DATA: l_t_rbkpv TYPE mrm_rbkpv,
      l_t_drseg TYPE mmcr_drseg OCCURS 0.

            p_gjahr LIKE rbkp-gjahr.

i_belnr = p_belnr.
i_gjahr = p_gjahr.
CALL FUNCTION 'MRM_INVOICE_READ'
    EXPORTING
      i_belnr         = i_belnr
      i_gjahr         = i_gjahr
    IMPORTING
      e_rbkpv         = l_t_rbkpv
    TABLES
      t_drseg         = l_t_drseg
    EXCEPTIONS
      entry_not_found = 1
      OTHERS          = 2.
IF sy-subrc NE 0.
    MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno
            WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
ENDIF.
CALL FUNCTION 'MRM_PARKED_INVOICE_POST'
    EXPORTING
      i_rbkpv = l_t_rbkpv
      ti_drseg = l_t_drseg.
IF sy-subrc NE 0.
    ROLLBACK WORK.
ELSE.
    COMMIT WORK AND WAIT.
ENDIF.
check also function module FM_FI_MM_PP_POST in include LF0KJF01.
Best regards.

Invoice Reduction-Vendor error: only a higher amount invoiced is allowed

Hi,
I am trying to replicate the "Invoice Reduction" Scenario (for both Price and Quantity Variance scenario).
1) Created a PO for 25 PCE and made GR for 10 PCE (10 USD/PCE).
2) Entering Invoice for 25 PCE and Amount 2500 USD and I have selected correction ID as Vendor Error: Reduce Invoice. So when the document is posted system should generates the Invoice document and Credit memo.
But I am getting the error as mentioned in subject.
Please find below the Error description:
Vendor error: only a higher amount invoiced is allowed
Message no. M8582
Diagnosis
The item amount in the invoice of 100.00 is smaller than the item amount of 2,500.00 suggested by the system.
System response
You currently cannot enter an amount that is smaller than that expected by the system. This would lead to a credit memo for the vendor.
Procedure
You can change the default values to correspond to the invoice and then post the invoice.
Regards,
Hari.

Hi,
Please check if the PO is GR based invoice verification is checked.
since the GR is only done for the partial qty while you enter the invoice and reducing it system is giving the error.
If vendor sends a higher amount /qty when compared to PO you can try for a reduction.
for more information on when and how an invoice reduction need to be done,please check the below link.
