Question about credit memo creation

[syerazvi]

I read in a book that we can create a credit or a debit memo with a credit or debit memo request number respectively

(Or)

If your company doesn't want a release procedure then with a billing document. This is not possible

Eg; took an order 14502 billed it to get billing document 90037510.  Now went back to VA01 and entered CR in the order type then clicked ""Create with reference""  and entered order number 14502. Now i see a billing block, i  removed it to get  60005419 as the Credit memo request number , then billed it again to issue a credit memo.

Can we do the same using a billing document

Dear Ahmed,

As suggested by others, you can always choose to give billing document as the reference while creating credit memo request. There are Standard sales document type which can be given during VA01 to create credit memo request wit reference to billing. This is even more helpful if you want to create returns as you can create immediate delivery while creating credit memo request and also the resulting credit memo will have a billing block.

Syed,

Practically, in SD module, it doesn't make sense to have credit/debit memo created without reference to credit/debit memo request or invoice correction request. The main reason lies in the objective of creating a credit/debit memo, which to adjust the quantity or value variance raised.

Say, now you are creating credit/debit memo directly with reference the orignal sales invoice. How you would you like to manage those variance directly in credit/debit memo for which you are raising them?

Hope that clarifies.

Thanks, JP

Hi,

We already have this functionality in standard SAP. While creating credit memo in VA01 instead of selecting sales order as a reference document, You select billing document and give the original billing document number. In this case also your credit memo goes for billing block.

If system is not allowing with reference to billing, then check your VTAF copy controls as mentioned by Shivram.

Yes you can create credit memo request with reference to billing document. You need maintain copy control settings in t.code VTAF.
