Dear Jasmine

Please check in VOFA for billing type RE, whether you have assigned S2 in Document Type.

As you would know RV is for Debit and S2 for Credit and if the field is left with blank, then in standard SAP, only it will take RV, and that is why instead of credit entry, you get debit entry.

hi,

start with checking OBXW, here you check the customer item outgoing invoice, where you will find posting keys assigned for debit and credit. Might be its configured wrongly here.

Second, Check T.code OB40 this is where we tell what type of accounts are affected with this posing key and is the effect a debit or credit. You have radio buttons for it.

But remember these are all standard SAP config settings and i guess there would really be a need to change them here if not while practising.... Make the settings as required and do consult an FI guy on this.

Check the VKOA data maintained & also OB40. From SD side, these are the two possible area where theproblem may be at Billing Level, instead of Posting Key. At Billing Level, it is account key, which will play an inportant role in case of VKOA, instead of Posting Key.

HI Jasmine

The posting Keys are defined in the t.code OBXW.

Please look at this for Customer item outgoing invoice, G/L account item outgoing invoice and Customer item with special G/L indicator.
