Third Party Credit Memo.

Hi Friends,
When we receive a credit Memo from the Third Party for say defective goods then this can be directly sent to the Customer as a credit Memo ( Credit Note). The Billing type here is G2S and The Item category is TASG.
Now my question is when we create G2S then to which document does it take reference from? Will it be from the Invoice F2 raised to the customer or from the Sales order OR of the customer. When I create a G2S with reference to the order OR after the Invoice F2 has been raised, the system throws up an error stating that this document has been completely Invoiced.
Please let me know how do I solve this issue.
Nagesh Murthy.

Hi Nagesh,
In any credit memo scenario, always enable the creation of Credit Memo Request and then Credit memo. When the credit memo request is to be created, make sure that it is always created with reference to the invoice document only and not reference to the sales order, as the objective of Credit memo is to correct the prices in the invoice document. This will help you in various scenarios like exchange rate where the value of sales order and the value of invoice can be different in the local currency due to ex.rate fluctuations.
As credit memo takes care of incorrect prices, having a document flow of credit memo request with reference to sales order is incorrect.
With reference to the error message, it is a valid message as an invoice has been created with reference to the order. You should not create a credit memo with reference to a sales order(OR), for credit memo, u shd use a credit memo request only as the reference.
Hence the flow for your question is
Sales order>Invoice>Credit Memo req-->Credit Memo
OR>F2>G2W(Confirm with others on the doc type)-->G2S
Pls lemme know if you need further clarifications in this topic.

  • Third party credit update with goods receipt

    Hi Experts,
    I need to know how customize the credit control management in the following situation:
    In third party flow without SD delivery: Sales Order -> Purchase requisition -> Purchase
    Order ->Goods Receips from supplier.
    The credit control has to be done with the delivered amount not
    invoiced. But in this flow the SD delivery is substitue by MM Goods
    Receipt in order to deliver products to the customers. When goods
    receipt is done the delivered credit amount isn't updated.
    it's necessary to check the amount delivered not the amount ordered (as it's done with the current customization)
    The customizing is:
    the item category:
    billing relevance 'B': Relevant for order-related billing - status
    acc.to order qty
    o Copying control -> invoiced quantity indicator 'E': Goods receipt
    quantity less invoiced quantity
    Schedule type: u2018CSu2019
    Credit control area update group: 00012
    Automatic control check : 'D', flag in open deliveries.
    We have checked note 410685 but not solution has been found.
    Example: Customer has a credit limit 1000 euros.
    1) Create a sales order with an total amount 900  euros.
    2) Create purchase order with the purchase requisition created
    automatically by the sales order and release it.
    3) Do goods receipt for an total amount 800.
    4) Create another sales order with a total amount 150 euros.
    Now, the new sales order is blocked, because the calculated credit is
    100 (credit limit - ordered amount). If the credit is calculated with
    the delivered quantity, the credit will be 200 and the new sales order
    won't be blocked.
    Thanks in advance,
    Laura

  • Credit Memo process in 3rd party order

    Hello All,
    Once 3rd party invoice is completed process as follows: (standard process)
    sale order --> Purchase Requisition --> Purchase Order --> Goods Receipt --> Invoice Verification --> Customer Invoice.
    When you post the customer invoice to accounting, in general system will update
    1.Net Value    2. COGS (Cost of goods sold)   3. Sales Qty.
    Now the scenario is when the vendor cancel his original invoice and reissue the invoice (due to change in price / change in stock item and so on..),
    We have to cancel the customer invoice and issue credit memo invoice (without any reference) for the customer.
    But the problem here is.. when we post the credit invoice to accounting, COGS will not be updated (currently they are adjusting COGS value manually).
    How can we map this scenario ? while creating credit memo invoice we should consider some reference so that COGS should be updated.

    Hello Suresh,
    THERE ARE TWO SCENARIOS HERE.
    Scenario is when the vendor cancel his original invoice and reissue the invoice (due to change in price / change in stock item and so on..),We have to cancel the customer invoice and issue credit memo invoice (without any reference) for the customer.
    > IF THE VENDOR GRANTS YOU A CREDIT MEMO ON THE QUANTITY OR VALUE BASIS, YOU CAN DIRECTLY PASS ON THIS TO CUSTOMER BY RAISING CREDIT MEMO (THIRD PARTY CREDIT MEMO IS G2S), THIS WORKS WITH ITEM CATEGORY 'TASG' (THIRD PARTY CREDIT MEMO ITEM). THE SALES RELEVANT INDICATOR ' F' IS SET IN CUSTOMISING FOR SALES FOR THIS ITEM CATEGORY. THIS MEANS THAT THE COST IS NOT CREATED.
    --->IF THE VENDOR CALCULATES ADDITIONAL COSTS FOR YOU ONCE THE THIRD PARTY BUSINESS TRANSACTIONS HAVE ALREADY BEEN BILLED. THE COSTS FROM THE INVOICE RECEIPT ARE THEN CORRECTED IN THE CUSTOMER BILLING DOCUMENT WHICH HAVE ALREADY BEEN CREATED. SUBSEQUENT DEBITS FROM THE INVOICE RECEIPTS ARE COPIED TO PROFITABILITY ANALYSIS AS A DIFFERENCE AMOUNT. THIS MEANS THAT THE COST IS UPDATED HERE ALSO. IN ACCRUED PROFITABILITY ANALYSIS, THE COSTS ARE NOT COPIED FROM THE INVOICE RECEIPT, BUT FROM THE CUSTOMER BILLING DOCUMENT.
    EXAMPLE:In the context of a third-party business transaction, you create a sales order for over 100 pieces.
    A purchase requisition and a purchase order are generated. Ten pieces are delivered to the customer, and a billing document is then sent to the customer when the 10 pieces are delivered. The vendor sets a subsequent debit of 100 USD for shipping costs in the invoice. The cost is nowupdated in the billing document created, and in the profitability analysis (in this case, it is raised
    by 100 USD).

  • Return process in Third Party system

    Dear Friends,
    Please suggest me the complete process of return under Third Party Order system, with T codes and paths,
    Regards,
    Atul

    Hi ATul
    Officially the return process is not supported by standard SAP ERP system for the third-party process.This functionality was never designed and is not supported.
    The note 751609 is the official statement of SAP to this problem.
    But any return goods to vendor from customer can be settled through credit notes.
    The process is to first pass a credit memo to Vendor and after the process the with reference to Sales order a third party credit memo can be issued to customer
    Hope this will help you.

  • Third Party Sales Returns process

    Hello All
    We have a third-party sales process which is automated i.e Sales order and Purchase requisitions(VA01) are created using the data coming in the incoming EDI file, the Purchase requisition is automatically converted to a Purchase order, the Invoice Reciept(MIRO) is posted and the Sales Invoice (VF01) is posted.
    The question is how do we handle the Returns or the Credit process?
    Is there a way I can configure the system to create a Returns order which will also update the Pur.Req quantity then the Purchase order quantity  or directly the Purchase order quantity. I can then use this information to raise a credit to the Vendor Invoice.
    I don't want to just raise a credit memo and update the sales side and leave the purchase side open.
    I appreciate your reply.

    1. Create Vendor XK01
    2. Create Material u2013 Material Type as "Trading Goods". Item category group as "BANS".
    3. Assign Item Category TAS to Order type that you are going to use.
    4. A sale order is created and when saved a PR is generated at the background 
    5. With reference to SO a PO is created (ME21N). The company raises PO to the vendor.
    6. Vendor delivers the goods and raises bill to company. MM receives the invoice MIRO 
    7. Goods receipt MIGO 
    8. Goods issue

  • Credit Check with Third Party Process

    Hi Gurz,
    I know about third party process but my problem is with credit check of the customers.
    If customer has not got enough credit limit to process the order in normal senario credit controller has to manually release the order as system blocks it. In third party process system will give you warning message when saving sales order about customer credit limit but allows you to save sales order. Once saving sales order it authomatically creates Purchase Requisition. From PR purchasing creates P.O. with out knowing about customer credit limit issue. and so on. In other words goods supplied to customer even though credit limit has exceeded. This user don't know untill raising the invoice to the customer which is too late.
    Can we stop creating Purchase requisition or block purchase requistion for credit check ? or there are better way of handling the process for credit check?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    Try to implement OSS note -738171 - Delivery block does not influence purchase requisition.
    Following is the details of the note;
    Summary
    Symptom
    The delivery block in a sales order does not prevent the generattion of the purchase requisition in a third-party or individual purchase order item. Regardless of the Customizing settings in the delivery block, the system confirms the TAB or TAS item and generates the purchase requisition.
    More Terms
    Order, purchase requisition, PReq, TAB, individual purchase order, individual purchase order item, TAS, third-party, third-party item, SD order, delivery block, VBAK-LIFSK, VBEP-LIFSP
    Cause and Prerequisites
    Solution
    Create a user-specific user requirement (for example, 902: BEDINGUNG_PRUEFEN_902 in Include LV07A902) as a copy of standard user requirement 102 and assign it to requirement 'Preq' by using Transaction OVB5.
    In the source code of the user-requirement, program a check for the delivery block which, if necessary, triggers an ERROR_EXCEPTION which prevents the generation of the purchase requisition.
    You can use the existing check for the credit block as a template.

  • Credit check issue in third party order

    Dear all,
    We are facing some issues related to credit management data for one of our customer. I need your valuable inputs for below mentioned queries-
    1. As a genaral question- When we releases a SO through VKM* How the system calculated the " Released Credit Value of the document".
    2- For one of the customers, the FD33 shows a Sales value X USD. As i see the split of this sales value , this X USD amounts to OPEN DELIVERIES. Both Open So and Open billing are zero. We tried to check with no. of tcodes to find out the open values but no such Open delv document is appeared.
    In VC/2, it only shows Open SO, no open deliveries are there.
    So i tried with simulation program RVKRED88, and found 5 third party Sales documents , against which some value is coming under the Open delivery value and it sums up to the value as coming in FD33.
    I have a few questions on this-
    > All the SO in output are Third party SO, against which PO has been created, ( Third party So> PR> PO> MIRO--> billing) and all are in status OPEN, so how come they are showing value in OPEN DELIVERY ?
    --> The value appearing against these third party SO is Not equal to items value/net value, it is a complete different value than appearing in SO. But in SO changes history , the same value is coming AS RELEASED CREDIT VALUE. How is it being calculated?
    For eg- for one of the Third party SO , the value coming in RVKRED88 is 29573.53 USD,
                                                                net value in So= 24,120.00 USD, Qty = 6000 PC , Credit price= 4.02 USD
                                                                Credit value of So in VBAk= 29573.53 USD
                                                               SO created , released on 08.July.2011, confirmed schedule line =08.Oct.2011
    Credit settings- Static check + Credit active Item cat and SO ,  Open So and open delv are ticked in credit settings.
    Kindly help in the analysis.
    many thanks in advance for the inputs.

    Hi Dharmendra,
    1.  When we release a sales order using VKM* transaction S066 information structure and OEIKW field is updated which increases open order value.
    2. If there is mismatch in the values of credit related fields run RVKRED77 (Re-organisation of credit in case of update errors) this will update all the credit data for a Payer customer in real time. RVKRED88 is simulation mode.
    3. Updating of values related to credit is controlled by the update group assigned to credit control area. If system is not able to update  using the assigned update group it will automatically try updating using the next update group. Below is the text of SAP Help.
    If a document cannot be processed with the update group you specify, the system determines the next possible update it can carry out. For example, you select Update group 000012 which, at delivery, reduces the open order value and increases the open delivery value. Assume that one item in the order is not relevant for delivery. In this case, the system automatically determines Update group 000018 for this item. Update group 000018 increases the open delivery value for the order item. The system uses the confirmed quantity of delivery-relevant schedule lines to update the order value
    As you know in OVA8 transaction credit control area, Risk category, credit group and currency are assigned to update group.

  • Credit Management not working for Third Party Sale

    Hi Experts,
    We have a scenario of Third party sale where sales order generate purchase requision after saving. Now we have appled static credit check to the customer, at the time of saving sales document it warns credit limit is over same time it doesn't allow to save, displaying incompletion log - " Subsequent function 'Purchase requisition from sales document' not possible due to a credit block".
    Pl. suggest us, since it is third party sale no delivery is available, so we cann't apply credit check at the time of delivery also.So what would be the solution.
    Kindly help.
    Thanks
    Prashant Ray

    Hi Prashant,
    Check in FD32 what is the credit limit and try to do the cahnges there if required.
    Also you can relase the SO through VKM3 / 2 /4.This will allow you to releasea nd the save the SO.
    Hope it helps

  • Enter sold-to party debit memo request - credit memo request

    Hi Gurus,
    I have a scenario here while creating a Debit memo request.
    1. I create a Debit memo request with sold-to party 1000
    2. I create a Credit memo request with the same sold-to party 1000.
    That will be saved,
    but when you enter VA02 or VA03 for CMR, a message displays "Enter a Sold-to Party".
    So in VA02, I will refill it with Sold-to party 1000, then I can save it.  But when I view it again, I will encounter the same message again.
    However, if I use a different sold-to party 2000, the CMR will be saved normally, and if you view it via VA02, you will see it is correct (you can see sold-to party 2000).
    Why?  Cant I use the same sold-to party for DMR to CMR?
