Invoice Reference Number in Line item of Credit Memo

[Former Member]

Hi Experts

I tried getting a specific and relevant answer to why we enter "V" in invoice reference field of a Credit Memo?

On going through the SAP Help text - A special rule applies to credit memos which have a "V" in this field. The due date is determined in the same way as for an invoice. If the field is empty (containing neither a document number nor a "V") the due date is the baseline date for payment.

I understand this relates the credit memo to an invoice but how SAP determines the invoice from which it will pull the payment terms for this credit memo?

Is this V concept applicable only in case of MIRO Invoices or otherwise too?

Thanks in advance.

Arjun,

We have 3 ways of credit memo use for REBZG field:

1 - REBZG = Invoice -> You credit document will fetch payment term, payment method and due date from invoice.

2 - REBZG = "V" -> The credit document works as individual invoice. The due date is calculated by Bseline date + Payment terms.

3 - REBZG = " " -> The credit memo is opened to be used in any other invoice as discount. Baseline date is the due date as default.

Your questions:

* There are no reference for invoices in cases number 2 and 3.

* This is apliccable for invoices from all transactions.
