[Former Member]

Guys,

Basic question: What is differences between posting Credit Memo in FB75 and VA01.

I know FB75 is more FI perspective where VA01 is SD, but which tables get affected with these two TCodes, and what are business scenarios where one is preferred to other.

Thanking in advance.

Hi,

Your understanding is correct,

• FB75 is the transaction in FI module

• VA01 is the transaction in SD module

So as to the difference, you should refer to the different scenario:

• Using FB75 you can only book the credit memo value into relevant G/L account from FI module, no quantity required;

• With VA01, you should have return sales order and return delivery note, till after GR of return DN, you can not book the credit memo value and quantity into relevant G/L account.

E.g. Original billing document 100 PC 2000 EUR

Credit memo 100 PC -200 EUR (You can use FB75 or VA01)

or Credit memo 50 PC -100 EUR (You have to use VA01, because there is the quantity adjustment in the credit memo)

Hope can help you!

Good day
