Credit note in ECC after GR & before putaway in EWM

[Former Member]

Dear Experts,

Need your expert advice/solution in the below scenario.

Scenrio: Returns process

1. Goods Receipt performed in EWM against Return Delivery (Inbound delivery). Goods are in stage area and put away not yet carried out.

    Goods movement document got posted successfully agianst the ECC return delivery. Status of Delivery in ECC: Header Level Total Goods Mvmt "Partially Completed",     Item Level: Goods Issue  "Not Yet Started"

2. Trying to create Billing in ECC: TCode VF01. Error: VF 066 Goods issue has not been posted for the delivery.

But if we are finishing the putaway in EWM, The delivery status in EWM changes to "Completed". In this case we are able create the billing document.

But in our business case  we want to process the billing document (credit note) before the put away is completed.

Need your assistance how to achieve this.

Any pointer will be highly appreciated.

Note: We have also posted a thread in EWM forum http://scn.sap.com/thread/3459426

In VTFL copy control, try by assigning routine 11 at header level for the field "Copying Requirements".

Hi Lakshmipathi,

Thank you very much for replying.

We are able to create the billing document now before putaway is completed/delivery status changed to completed.

But it is also allowing to create billing document even before the GI is posted.

Our requirement is that GI must be posted before billing document is created. Can you please suggest how to achieve this...

Yes that standard routine will allow system to generate and save billing document even if a delivery is not PGId.  If you want to control this, you can try with billing exit USEREXIT_FILL_VBRK_VBRP in program RV60AFZC

Hi Lakshmipathi,

We implemented your solution. Credit note got created though goods movement status was 'B' (Partially completed) but getting another error and system is not able to complete the PGI status (from B to C) after doing put away in EWM. Queue failed in ECC and error message is Billing document already posted.

Request your expert advice on this.

You need to bye-pass such errors through the exit I suggested and force the system to function as you expect.
