Reg:Cancelling invoice/Credit memo

[Former Member]

Hi Guys,

I have read SAP note 46564. I could not understand how cancelling and reversing process is done.

Purchase order for 100 pieces à $10 / piece.

Goods receipt for 50 pieces

Invoice 1:  50 pieces à $ 10 = $ 500

Invoice 2:  50 pieces à $ 11 = $ 550

If you cancel the first invoice:

                                   GR      IR1    IR2      Cancel IR1

Stock account              500 +

GR/IR clearing account  500 -  500 +   550 +        550 -

Vendor account                       500 -   550 -         500 +

Price difference account                                      50 +

Can anyone suggest during cancel of IR1 why system is behaving like this. Is this because IR2 is posted as 550 GR/IR 550- and prd 50+......

Example 2:

Purchase order for 100 pieces à $ 10 / piece.

Invoice 1:  10 pieces à $ 10 = $ 100

Invoice 2:  10 pieces à $ 20 = $ 200

Reversal/credit memo for invoice 2

                                       IR1        IR2        Cancel IR2

Stock account

GR/IR clearing account    100 +      200 +       150 -

Vendor account               100 -      200 -       200 +

Price difference account                                50 -

In this scenario why 150- and prd 50- during cancellation process?

In what scenario postings are done in this way?

Thanks

Hi,

   In case 1, the GR is posted for quantity 50 with price 500. The remaining amount will be reversed while you are cancelling the invoice.

   In case 2, GR is not done. So the average of the posted invoice value is considered while reversing.

The posting logic has been explained in this KBA  1609927 - MR8M / Credit Memo postings

Hi,

This is the posting logic in invoice . Please check whether the material is posted with MAP or S . If there is a difference in the PO price and invoice price ,system will post this difference to PRD . And also please check whether a GR is posted . System will update the MMR price based upon the invoice price posted .

Hi AKPT,

I have tried to change the total quantity for credit memo posting so i got an warning message. I think for credit memo we should not change the total quantities.

Correct me if i am wrong.

Hi,

   Cancelling a document (MR8M) is always for total quantity in the original document.

Why not? You can change the quantity and amount during posting credit memo. It will depend on your business requirement.

It is always possible to create a credit memo less than the quantity invoiced.

But the main question is why you are posing credit memo as because you just want to cancel the invoice.

Why are you not using the transaction MR8M ?
