Customer return with Movement type 655 with net value 0

[former_member182339]

Returns order with a net value of $0 and item category of RENN(Free goods item). How will SAP handle this return? Does it create an  invoice and what will be the accounting entries?

a return order with only one item coded as category RENN  would post an entry for cost of sales and inventory. Correct? But would the returns order stay open until the billing block was removed? If we removed the billing block would it create an invoice and post entries of $0?

Hi Hrushikesh,

YEs, the returns order will be open untill you perform the billing.

Also no accounting document for a Zero Order value item.

so even with $0 value we can create a billing document? and complete the order?

Hrusikesh,

Please see answers to your questions:

1. With Net Value = 0, billing document is created.

2. The order status shall be Completed

3. Accounting document is not created.

Important Note: You can find the answers (to these type of questions) by yourself, by doing the tests in IDES / Sandbox system.

Hrusikesh,

As you are not a SD consultant, the below information might be useful.

Some business users might say that if the value of a line item, in the sales order is zero; then the sales order can not be created / saved.

This is done by using a functionality called Incompletion Log.

So the conclusion is that in SAP, it is possible to create sales orders with value = zero (and then go on to create a billing document with value = zero, as shown in the screen shot of my previous post).

But if the company does not want any sales orders to be created for value = zero, then this can also be achieved. (by using Incompletion Log).

In the case, the sales order can not be created / saved with value = zero, then there is no chance of creating the subsequent documents (e.g. delivery, billing).

Hrusikesh,

From my understanding item category RENN comes along with Higher item category REN, in the return order.

So please paste the screenshot of your Return order (VA03)

After billing block is removed, a billing document can be created.

If the values of the condition types, in the billing document are zero, then accounting document shall not be created. (Thus no accounting entries).

Dear Dalai,

    Ofcourse the Material document and accounting document will get generate when ever the physical inventory movement happens,,, when we come to our question our Requirement in pricing procedure says 55( free goods Item) and alt caluculation type 28( 100% discount) both entries will takes place in the accounting to balance the balance sheet....

T W,

Please see the VA03 screenshot. So you are saying there will be no accounting entries then how the status will be show as cleared once the billing block is removed?

Dear,

Returns order with a net value of $0 and item category of RENN(Free goods item). How will SAP handle this return? Does it create an  invoice and what will be the accounting entries?

With $ 0 amount ,you can not create Billing document why because at least we need some rupee or dollar to create a Billing as well as Accounting .Without amount ,how can you create Accounting and what is the purpose to create  a Billing doc ? . It seems senseless view to us .With $0 ,system can not let you to save billing doc in VF01 .

Whatever you uploaded screen shot is not appearing .Please share screen shot if possible .

Thanks,

Naren

Will the returns order remain open if the accounting document is not created because of the zero values?
