Vendor Credit Memo posting to Asset when invoice did not

Hi Experts,
We are on SAP 604 and have the following scenario.
PO to purchase an asset at $10,000.  (not an inventory item).
Goods receipt has NOT been done.
1st invoice comes in but is only for half of the asset.  (.5 qty at $5,000)  does not post to asset since there is no GR done.
Postings:
Debit 201010 $5000
Credit 201015 $5000
2nd invoice is data entered wrong.  It is for the remaing half but Acts Pyble enters quanty of 1 instead of .5.
Debit 201010 $5000
Credit 201015 $5000
When reversing the second invoice (or even just entering a credit memo), instead of the posting doing a simple reversal of hte invoice like this :
Debit 201010 $5000
Credit 201015 $5000
SAP posts to the asset even though there has yet to be any other postings done to the asset (no GRs and no invoices have posted to the asset).  Credit Memo posts like this:
Credit 201010 $5000
Debit 201015 $6666.67
Credit Asset: $1666.67
Please confirm whether you see this posting as an issue for the asset.  I have posted an OSS message to SAP and they are saying the system is working as designed unless I gather enough business requirements to do a development request.  I'm trying to see if this posting is just an issue for my organization.  Typically we would not expect a Credit Memo to capitalize the Asset.  - Or if you know of a fix, please let me know.
Thanks!
Cindy

If you do not want negative posting/ balances in your asset, you can configure the depreciation areas to allow positive values only. That way if balance is negative (as in your example), posting is not allowed.

  • Asset depreciation issue after Credit memo posted to asset.

    Hi,
    We bought asset on 2010 Dec with price 100,000 SGD last year. The asset, monthly depreciation = 833.33 SGD with 20 year useful life.
    This month, we received an CN to minus 20,000SGD for some reason.
    Hence I do credit asset with transaction type 160, post 20,000SGD to this month.
    Seem like now system are getting current NBV to calculate the depreciation for remaining useful life. It is not they want.
    Business assume to get positive depreciation this month to re-adjust back the 20,000SGD depreciation to this month.
    How to get month depreciation value 666.66 SGD after this asset? Hope you can suggest me.

    Recheck your Multi Level Method in AFAMS. You should use the base value 24.
    Have to ticked "remaining useful life"
    Also, check your OAYR settings? Did you select "Smoothing"

  • AP-Credit Memo-Clear Vendor/Credit Memo

    Hi all, I am facing Problem during Vendor Credit memo, Clear it (F-44), and Manual Check using F-58
    Can I have different Due date For Vendor Credit memo , as I can see we have different Payment terms in Master data but whenever I post it gives the Due date as Immediate but if I see Open item report it says not Due and shows the Payment terms and the net due dates. Is this Normal?
    I would like to clear the credit memo using the F-44 with reference to another open line item but system says Difference is too large for clearing.
    The third thing I am trying to issue manual check I gave details, as per "J03_AP_CreditMemo_BPP_EN_US", when I hit Process open Items "system is not allowing to post document getting error "Select a valid function"".
    Any Ideas How to deal with the above 3 situations?
    Sandhya.

    Hi,
    To answer few queries,
    Data can be entered in the field for the terms of payment key in various ways as you enter a business transaction:
    In most business transactions, the system defaults the key specified in the master record of the customer/vendor in question.
    In some transactions (for example, credit memos), however, the system does not default the key from the master record. Despite this, you can use the key from the customer/vendor master record by entering "*" in the field.
    Regardless of whether or not a key is defaulted from the master record, you can manually enter a key during document entry at:
    item level in sales orders header level in purchase orders and invoices
    F-44--clearing problem
    If the amount of open item is not equal to clearing amount you enter and the difference is not with in the tolerance limit you specify in the configuration, you will face this error. If the whole amount of open item need not be cleared, then try partial payment/residual payment  options.
    The third situation I am not clear.
    Thanks

  • Assignment field being automatically populated in Vendor Credit Memo

    Dears,
    While posting Vendor Credit Memo with Reference Invoice (field Inv.Ref under Payment tab) the Assignment field (field Assign. under Details tab) is being automatically populated with assignment value from the referenced invoice.
    Is there a way to disable automatic Assignment field population?
    Thanks in advance,
    Robert

    Dears,
    No sorting keys exist for GL Master Vendor reconciliation account and still assignment is being copied (Data was copied
    Message no. F5343)
    Substitution is not an option as it's being done when posting, and not at the moment of invoice creation.
    Thank you for any ideas.

    Any help is highly appreciated and duly rewarded.
    Regards,

    First you check teh invoice ;
    Normally if you are using FB60 It will be
    Expence A/C Dr  TO      100000
       Vendor A/C                100000
    Suppose if you want  raise Credit Memo Using FB65(first you decide amount)
    then It will be
    Vendor A/C Dr TO    25000
    Expence A/C           25000
    THEN YOU PAY REMAINING 75000.
    SYSTEM WILL CLEAR ALL LINE ITEMS AT THE TIME OF PAYMENT.

  • Dunning for Vendor Credit Memo

    Dear Expert,
    I have 5 open due invoices in vendor account of euro 10000 and now i have posted credit memo which is not relating to any of the invoices for value of euro1000.Now i want to run dunning only for credit memo (as this is seperate item receivable from vendor).System is picking up all line items in dunning run and saying that dunning not possible because balance is -9000 (payable). How can i execute dunning only for vendor credit memo which is not related to invoices and which is amount due to receive by us from vendor. And if i select only credit memo in parameters than system is assigning dunning level 0 to credit memo and not executing dunning run.appreciate quick help. Thanks...

    Hi Parag,
    Dunning should be done only for vendor and customer total outstanding balance
    as per below screen invoice  is of Rs.19000/- and credit memo of Rs.20000/-
    amount recovered from vendor is Rs.1000/- along with dunning changes  here
    in the below example i had  taken Rs.50/- so different of Rs.1000 (credti memo - invoice)
    so Recoverable from vendor is Rs.1050/- hope this solved your thread
    thanks

  • BAI2 Lockbox Issue-Credit memo posting

    When a credit memo (Document found) is processed through the
    lockbox, the payment amount/residual amount is calculating incorrectly.
    The check is posting on account. The issue is visible during post-
    processing (FLB1)
    For example, if the credit memo is -$4428, the residual amount is
    showing as 4,428.00. This should be zero since the record is contained
    in the BAI2 file as shown below:
    401800560101962934 00000000000000442800
    Another way of looking at this issue is that the payment amount is
    showing as -$8,856 rather than as -$4428.
    We are not using reason codes.

    We are on version SAP ECC 6.0. The credit information is in the right 10 characters of the amount field (DDAMT) in the FLB24 structure.
    PYAMT     PYAMT_FLB2     NUMC     10     0     Payment Amount
    DDAMT     DDAMT_FLB2     NUMC     10     0     Deduction amount
    The check contains 4 documents all of which are found and the amounts are matching. The first "4" record is the credit memo. The other 3 invoices are regular payments. The check total processes and posts on account at the correct value.
    401800560102934            00000000000000440000
    401800560204209            00070000000000000000
    401800560304212            00030000000000000000
    401800560494211            00045000000000000000
    The check amount is for 140,600.00
    When post-processing, the invoices are listed and the payment amount shows as follows
    invoice#  Inv amt      payment amt
    2934       -4400         -8800
    4209      70000         70000
    4212      30000         30000
    4211     45000          45000
    My OSS note search has been unsuccessful thus far.

  • A/R credit memo for closed A/r Invoice

    Hi Guru's,
    Our Client want to make an A/R credit memo for closed A/R Invoice (i.e) payment is already received for that A/R Invoice.
    But in such scenario, the he is not able to get the referce of the A/R invoice as it closed... so he makes the stand alone Goods Return , Excise & A/R Credit Memo.
    But the problem in this stand alone scenario is that the system treat such case as purchase scenario and hit the repective account of VAT and excise which is very incorrect.
    e.g
    Instead of hitting - VAT payable account for debit
    its hitting           - VAT input account for debit
    So please help me in this matter and give the solution as soon as possible ....its urgent.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Abhishek

    hi Abhishek,
    Create a new tax code and in that tax code create
    vat code with its A/P G/L account is same as A/R G/L account,Similary you repeat it for ed,cs,hcs also.
    1. Change Posting period if required.
    2.Reverse incoming payment entry.
    3.Do A/R credit memo base on A/R invoice with new tax code.
       Incoming excise invoice will be created automatically
       in background.
    Incoming excise invoice journal entries will be hit as in
    sales scenario.
    Hope above answer helps you.
