collective billing for creditmemo requests created with reference to differ

[Former Member]

I am trying to create a collective billing document ( credit memo ) for multiple credit memo requests which inturn were created with reference to different invoices.. But a collective credit memo is not happening. When I do it through VF04 , the split analysis shows difference in header data like ' reference number . assignment number, exchange rate , translation date etc. All this data is copied into creditmemo requests from respective reference invoices..

How do I overcome that ?

Hello,

First, make sure the header data is the same for all the documents from which you are trying to make collective invoices. Go to VTFA, check the copying control between your order type and the billing type. Clear the fields Allocation Number and Reference Number in the copying control. Now you try to generate the consolidated invoice and let us know the result.

Hi Prashanth ,

The reference and assignment fileds are getiing copied from reference invoices into credit requests which inturn get carried to the credit memo and causing split in billing . Also there is business palce difference that is causing the split .

is there a way we can overcome the split criteria to combine credit requests referenced from different invocices into a single credit memo ?

Hello,

The invoice split may have been carried out for the following reasons:

a) Explicit setting in Customizing

Explicit setting in Customizing:

On the detail screen of the document flow table (TVCPF) in the entry

field 'DATEN VBRK/VBRP' (as of Rel.2.2..: 'Data transfer') the

routine '003' (single invoice) was entered and thus an invoice split

was created.

b) Different header partners

The header partners in the billing documents created are not

identical which causes an invoice split. With regard to partner

processing, an invoice split also occurs if the entries in the

partner table of the reference document and the billing document

also differ only in one field for the partner functions of the

billing document header (in the standard system, these are SP, BP

and PY).

c) Different header fields

The header fields in the billing documents created are not identical

which causes an invoice split.

Attention: Not all header fields in the billing document are

visible on the header detail screen of the billing document.

d) The billing date of all documents is equated in a data transfer

routine (for example, by VBRK-FKDAT = SY-DATUM). This works when

you are billing using VF01; a single billing document is

generated. However, if you use VF04 or in case of a batch,

several billing documents might be generated.

When using transaction VF04 or Billing (background) the date of the

billing document (e.g. the current date) must be entered (In VF04:

settings, default data. In VF06 or background: variant with

parametrization) to avoid an unwanted split due to the billing date.

I hope that the information are helpful.
