hi,

If you take the invoice reference to create sales order

A)return sales order will get copied from invoice

B)Price and batch numbers will get copied,to get all this thing you need to perform copy control from billing to order T code VTAF

Thanks

This is Standard functionality of SAP and main advantages are:

1. If X sold you can return X-1,by taking billing reference.

2.it allows you to have proper track with document flow.

3.it keeps check and you don't not have to make manual entries.

4. it also helps for reporting purpose

5. it helps to define cohesive integrated nature of SAP.

Thanking you

Rather a strange question...

1. You can see the return in the document flow.

2. If trying to create another return for the same document, you'll be prompted that N has already been returned.

3. All the data is copied from the invoice, no need to type in stuff.

4. Reporting, commissions, etc.

This is just from the top of my head.

The advantage is for the customer. The billing document is often the most readily available reference number for the customer when contacting the seller to request a return.
