Dear
generally in sap credit memo /debit memo are available in case if any mismatches stock or qnty /or price
so by using we can achieve the requirement .. but my doubt is why sap has given Invoice correction request ?
Hi Geetha,
Inv correction req is used when there is error in pricing or even when there are returns due to transit damage etc. The advantage is your original billing document can be corrected on pricing and quantity. Then credit or debit memo can be created with reference to inv correction req.
When you create debit/credit memo directly, the original invoice remains faulty. Your customer will have to refer & link two documents (invoice & memos) to understand the whole transaction.

Hi Geetha,
Debit memo and credit memo requests can be created with reference to the Billing document or as stand alone. Further, a credit memo or Debit memo has to be created separately based on the Billing document quantity or value
For example,
Case:1 - if an Invoice had created for 10 quantity and 8 were received by the customer and 2 were found defective at the shipment (Dead on arrival), so customer may request for credit memo for 2 quantity. In this case you are going to create a Credit memo with reference to the Original invoice for 2 quantity
Case :2 - considering the same example ,an invoice has been created for 10 quantity, but customer received 12 quantity of goods ( due to some manual changes, Invoice quantity was changed to 10) and customer owes to 2 more quantity, so you will create a debit memo
Now Invoice correction request will be created at a time in both the cases just by adding/changing the quantity
While creating the invoice correction request, system will always create first item as credit item and second item as debit item.
Credit item always copies from Original invoice. Debit item always a change either +ve value or -ve value
If the difference is positive, always credit memo is created. If the difference is negative debit memo is created.
for same above example, if credit item is 10 ( copied from original) and debit item is 8 ( correct item)
Credit memo will be created for 2 quantity ( since the difference from credit item to debit item is +ve)
If the credit item is 10 ( copied from Original) and Debit item is 12, so debit memo is created for 2 quantity ( since the difference between credit item to debit is -ve)
hope it is clear
just try to leverage any document of Order type RK, to find the impact
