billing document with negative or positive amount - possible?

[Former Member]

Hi guys,

The billing document will calcualte a difference amount, which could be either negative or positive. Calcualtion is done via the pricing procedure and manual pricing conditions.

As the User does not know the outcome of the calculation, my customer wants to be able to use one billing type which should be able to post both outcomes.

Is this possible?

Regards,

Tanja,

It is possible for any billing document to post both positive and negative values to the accounting document. This does not need any configuration. Actually, there is no way to control a document only for positive or negative values. However the basic rules apply based on the values. These are as follows.

1. Any invoice document (Based on sales document category ) is considered as an invoice amount to be paid by customer, when the value is positive. The same positive value in a Credit Memo (Based on S.D.Category), is considered as the value to be paid to the customer.

2. When the value becomes negative, the logic is reverse. A negative value in invoice is considered as amount to be paid to the customer, and the negative value in Credit memo is the amount which the customer has to pay us.

The logic applies for other types also like Debit memo, etc.

Other than this, your reqmt is completely possible without any configuration. Please try out the scenarios and validate the entries with FI team. We have done this and our processes work this way.

Hi Tanja

Yes this is possible, use any billing document type like F2.

By default there is nothing that prevent a bill from being negetive, except that some condition type can be customized to take only positive value. E.g Order type RK (invoice correction request) and the G2 credit memo created with reference to RK should neccessarily have either positive or negetive value.

Your explanation is not clear. But any condition type that populates in sale order with either positive or negative value, the control is in the respective condition type (TCode V/06) where you can see a field "Pos./neg"
