doc type in VOFA

[cathy_liang]

Hi experts,

Pls advise. Thx.

Q1: Is it correct to set doc type as RV for billing type S1, S2, L2, G2, RE?

Q2: It is said that leaving doc type blank means RV. If yes, why some billing type captures another type instead of RV?

Hello Cathy,

The so called old cancellation procedure, where the accounting documents

of cancelled and cancellation invoice don't clear automatically.

The other is the new cancellation procedure, where the accounting

documents are cleared automatically.

The system always tries to perform the new one. If, for any reason,

it fails, then the system performs the old one.

When the old cancellation procedure is executed, the generated

accounting document gets the document type from SD customizing:

field 'Document type' TVFK-BLART in transaction VOFA of the

SD cancellation billing type. If TVFK-BLART is blank, then it

sets default 'RV'.

When the new cancellation procedure is executed, the generated

accounting document gets the document type from FI customizing:

field 'Reverse document type' T003-STBLA in transaction OBA7 of

the reversed accounting document.

Thanks,

Alex

Hi cathy

For your 1st question , it is better to leave the acc doc type feild blank in VOFA for standard billing doc types.

But for Cancellation billing doc types , the standard is we will be assigning a acc doc type .So that a separate accounting document will be generated and those accounting documents will be linked to different G/L accounts

For your second question , it is better to leave the acc doc type feild blank for standard billing documents like F1 ,F2 and if you leave the acc doc feild blank then system will pick the RV accounting document when you forward it to FI . But for cancellation billing documents like S1, S2 etc a different accounting documents will be assigned

Dear Cathy

For Billing Type       Document Type

      S1                     S1
      S2                     S2
      L2                     Blank
      G2		     Blank
      RE                     S2

Yes normally if you leave the document type as blank, system will by default consider RV document type. Why we assign other billing types to some billing document types is, as you may be aware RV will debit the customer and S1 or S2 will credit the customer. So in the accounting document, once the customer is debited, it will not be credited by just cancelling the billing document but you have to instruct the system to credit the customer which S1 and S2 will do.
