Unable to cancel LIV or perform Credit memo/Subsequent Credit

Hi,
I have a PO (with commitment from year 2008) that was created in 2008 and LIV in 2009.
But was unable to cancel LIV or perform credit memo/subsequent credit in 2009, error message indicating that budget exceed year 2008 appear.
Is there any way i can proceed to cancel this LIV or do a credit memo?
I have tried to carry the commitment back from 2009 to 2008, still cannot.
Appreciate if any expert can advise, thanks!

Hi
If you deactivate availability control then you can spend as much as you want on purchasing. The released budget and budget have no control on spend amount. When you activate the availability control (yearwise) by that time there should be released budget equal to that of spent amount.
Generally for some projects (specific to particular coding mask) we remove availabity control and for general projects we put it.
Thanks

Apply Cash Payment and Credit Memo to an Invoice via DI API

Hi, All:
I would like to be able to create an invoice and apply cash and a credit memo to it which equals the total of the invoice. This will close out the invoice.
Does anyone out here know if this can be done through the DI API? If so, some sample code would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

For those of you who are wondering, here is an example:
                int invoiceDocEntry = 0;
                int creditMemoDocEntry = 0;
                Documents invoice = (Documents)company.GetBusinessObject(BoObjectTypes.oInvoices);
                invoice.CardCode = "S001600";
                invoice.DocDate = DateTime.Today;
                invoice.DocDueDate = DateTime.Today;
                invoice.Lines.ItemCode = "A2-IC-6"; //$78.00
                invoice.Lines.Quantity = 2;
                invoice.Add();
                if(invoice.Add() != 0)
                    throw new Exception("Could not add invoice: " + company.GetLastErrorDescription());
                invoiceDocEntry = Int32.Parse(company.GetNewObjectKey());
                System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(invoice);
                Documents creditMemo = (Documents)company.GetBusinessObject(BoObjectTypes.oCreditNotes);
                creditMemo.CardCode = "S001600";
                creditMemo.DocDate = DateTime.Today;
                creditMemo.DocDueDate = DateTime.Today;
                creditMemo.Lines.ItemCode = "B4-HDMI-.7";
                creditMemo.Lines.Quantity = 1;   // $10.00
                if(creditMemo.Add() != 0)
                    throw new Exception("Could not add credit memo: " + company.GetLastErrorDescription());
                creditMemoDocEntry = Int32.Parse(company.GetNewObjectKey());
                System.Runtime.InteropServices.Marshal.ReleaseComObject(creditMemo);
                Payments payment = (Payments)company.GetBusinessObject(BoObjectTypes.oIncomingPayments);
                payment.CardCode = "S001600";
                payment.Checks.CheckSum = 68.00;
                payment.Checks.CheckNumber = 100;
                payment.Invoices.DocEntry = creditMemoDocEntry;
                payment.Invoices.InvoiceType = BoRcptInvTypes.it_CredItnote;
                payment.Invoices.Add();
                payment.Invoices.DocEntry = invoiceDocEntry;
                payment.Invoices.InvoiceType = BoRcptInvTypes.it_Invoice;

Creation of Correction Request against Credit memo

I would like to know if it is possible to create an request of type RK against an Credit billing of type G2?
Thanks
Lina

hello, Lina.
i tried doing VTAF to see if you could create copying controls for RK as target for source G2, and the system issues an error message saying that RK must reference an invoice (F1 or F2).
so i guess the answer to your question must be 'no', in SAP standard.
however, there are always workarounds and maybe you can adjust your business process (e.g. issue a credit memo request with reference to a credit memo - billing type G2).

Unable to cancel or create a credit memo

Hi,
I have created an invoice on 03/13/2008 amounted to 200. Now i want to cancel it. But posting period for this is already closed. When i am trying this in current month it is giving an error message that -
Balance not zero: debits: 200.52 credits: 198.65
I think this might be because of tax rates which might be got changed based on Juridiction.
Can anybody let me know how to overcome with this issue.
Points will be awarded.
Regards,
Sree.

Hi,
Goto FB08 fill up required fields and try with different reason codes 01,02,03 & 04. It will get cancelled.
Try once and assign points if solved.

Credit card refund from AR on creating a credit memo

AR (11.5.1) does not have functionality to refund credit card payments back to the card holders amount.
Has any one created a custom solution to automate credit card refunds after a credit-memo is created in AR? I mean actually crediting the cardholders account --- not just updating statuses within the Oracle apps.
Thanks for your responses.

DO you use ipayment with a thirdparty Payment vendor ?

Solution for viewing AR credit memo relevant to AP invoice

In R12, we no longer have the functionality of applying miscellaneous receipts to credit memos. Using this functionality in 11i, we were able to make payments through AR.
In 11i, we were using API (AR_CM_APPLICATION_PUB.activity_application) for creating and applying Misc Receipts to Credit Memos. In this process, it would first create miscellaneous receipt using API (AR_Receipt_API_PUB.Create_Misc) and then apply it to corresponding credit memo. Then standard remittance process in AR would pick up the receipts and generate a remittance file which would be transmitted to the bank as a payment instruction. Hence, we were not using AP for payments.
However in R12, the above mentioned standard functionality has changed. Now the same API (AR_CM_APPLICATION_PUB.activity_application) creates a receivable activity (“Refund”) in AR and creates an AP Invoice in AP instead of Miscellaneous receipt in AR. This AP invoice can then be paid using Oracle Payments. However, this is making our solution more complex in R12 compared to 11i.
Technical Details from R12
1. In R12 API - AR_CM_APPLICATION_PUB.activity_application is calling API “ar_refunds_pvt.create_refund” instead of “AR_RECEIPT_API_PUB.create_misc”, which creates the AP Invoice.
2. Form - ARXTWMAI is calling one pll in one of the form trigger and in turn the procedure (ar_refunds_pvt.create_refund) is called, which creates AP Invoice.
Un-answered questions:
1. Is there anyway to view the refund in AR independently (Other than going to Credit Memo and see the activities)?
2. How aging and customer exposure in AR are impacted, if payment is not made for the refund AP invoice?
3. Is it possible to drill down to the original credit memos from AP Invoices?
4. Invoice fields like pay group, payment terms are defaulted from the Payables system setups. Is it possible to pass those in the API or can we use different values for these parameters other than payable system setup?

Hi Anil,
Thanks for the response. When an invoice has the exact same distribution accounting as a credit memo then your scenario is valid. I think that scenario occurs when you create an RMA for a particular sales order for example. The RMA would then reverse the exact accounting of the original sales invoice.
However a manual credit memo in AR can be applied to any valid invoice for that customer (from any point in time). At a point in time the auto accounting rules may have been different causing the generated account string to be different for the same customer. We regularly have cases where a credit memo for a customer applied to an older invoice for that same customer has different distribution accounts. The credit memo application journal actually adjusts this so that the accounting in GL will be correct.
ie
Invoice from 01-Jan-2008
DR Receivables Account 130000 -> $1000
CR Revenue Account 400000 -> $1000
Now if you create a manual credit for the item in full today, the entry of the Credit memo might look like this
DR Revenue Account 400000 -> $1000
CR Receivables Account 120000 -> $1000
Credit memo application to apply the credit memo to the original invoice:
CR account 130000 $1000
DR account 120000 $1000
Now this functionality was standard functionality in 11i because I guess the designers realised if there was no "correction" journal then your GL would be imbalanced at an account level.

Tracking AR credit memo to AP invoices..

Hi Guys,
can anyone help me in getting invoices generated in AP against credit memo applied in AR.
Thanks In Advance
Reju

Hi Dany,
it is a system definition that you may only use 1 base document for a credit memo.
Should you require the credit memo to be applied to multiple invoices, you may create a stand-alone credit memo & then manually reconcile it with the appropriate invoices.
If doing that, please take the stock transaction into consideration, you might have to revaluate your stock.
All the best,
Kerstin

Hi octavio,
Thanks for your valuable input.
You are right and also I found from metalink...
Subject: 11.5-AR-How Can You Enter Payment Terms For Credit Memos
Doc ID: 249547.1 Type: HOWTO
Modified Date: 16-DEC-2003 Status: PUBLISHED
goal: How can you enter payment terms for Credit memos
fact: Oracle Receivables 11.5
fix:
Payment terms cannot be used in Credit memos. This is standard functionality.
The trx_date/gl_date of the credit memo transaction is the date which is
considered as the due date of the credit memos. This is the current
functionality.
Thanks,

Hello,
Customer on 11.5.9 is applying a Canadian Dollar Credit Memo to a US Dollar Invoice and the Journal Import of such applications fail with EC12 'The entered amount must equal the accounted amount in a functional or STAT currency journal line'
Question: Is application of a cross currency credit memo an available option in 11.5.9 i.e AR M?
Question: Does the application of cross currency have to be through the receipt workbench or Transaction Summary?
Question: Is the setup for Cross Currency rreceipt also work for the coross currency credit memo i.e the Profile options?
Thanks
Santosh Rao

Hello,
Thank you i have checked this note and this note appears to be for same currency application, whereas the question is posted for Cross Currency Credit Memo applicaiton
Please let me know if using the Transaction Summary workbench is NOT allowed for Cross currency credit memo application and if yes, then is using the Receipts workbench an option?
Thanks

Posting a credit against a credit memo in a customers Accounts Receivable f

Is it possible to post a Credit Card Credit ( refund ) against a customer's credit memo in their Accounts receivable file? We gave a credit card paying customer a credit memo for returning goods and also a credit to their credit card. Our bak now shows a credit card refund coming out of our bank account ( so it is like a negative deposit) I want to post that credit card refund against the credit memo but going thru the normal way of posting a cash payment says SAP will not take a negative deposit as a posting. Points will be awarded.

Hi
The invoice ref field in credit memo posting is related only with the payment terms. The systems determines the payment term from the original invoices.
This field should be either filled with the original invoice document number or "V".
If the field is left blank, then the system always takes the payment term for credit memo as "Due immediately"
I dont thing there is a provision for copying the line item details as per original invoice document.

Credit Memo via MIRO applying cash discounts.

All,
We have shared services applying credit memo's in A/P against a vendor/purchase order via MIRO. If the personnel does not select that the payment terms be net 0, due immediately, then the vendor/po default is used which will ultimately apply the first discount term (in this case 1%) regardless of the baseline date. We should not be applying discounts to credit memos.
Any suggestions on dealing with this scenario?
Thank you for your help in advance.
Patrick

Hi all,
I have exactly the same problem. Can anyone help ?
Thank you for your help.

MIRO - Credit Memo- Unable to match

Hi Gurus,
One of our supplier issued a credit memo which relates to two POs. One is a return PO(credit note) and other a normal PO. Vendor has issued credit note with Net figure. Both POs are not related.
Normal PO ( GR)   100
Return PO(GR)      (-200)
Credit note from vendor (-100).
When we MIRO(credit memo) selecting the two POs to match against the credit note, system does not pick the normal PO and hence we are unable to match and clear.
Kindly advise
Umang

I face the same problem. Maybe you can use Vendor code to match the invoice and credit memo.
We use Vendor code to match items.
My problem is the invoice and credit memo is in different period.
example:
       credit memo - PO GR date is in 2014.10.10.
       invoice-PO GR date is in 2014.11.09.
        our accountants using the GR date to select the items, maybe in NOV,they set the date between NOV. 01 to 30 . The credit memo cannot be select. They insist on the period they set.
         How can i select all credit memo ,and set limit to invoice?
Regards,
Ag
