Making SKTO condition type as 0% in case of credits

[Former Member]

Hi All,

This is about the common scenario where in we give the credit back to the customer in normal practice as well in case of returns.

The requirement is that whenever I create a credit memo (G2) or credit for returns (RE) , the SKTO should read as 0%. The catch here is that since the credit memos are cretaed with reference to the orignal billing doc the SKTO condition which has the % discount copied from the payment terms is going to get copied in the credit memo request .

Moreover there might be scenarios where the credit memo request is created independently w/o reference to the original doc . So even in this case the SKTO is going to have the % discount . It is because of this reason why I don't want to change/create any copy control routine from the original invoivce to the credit memo request doc.

My question is :

1. Is it possible to have the SKTO read as 0 % in case of credits ( G2 & RE) docs even though the credit memo request has a payment term which has the (xyz) % discount . ?

2. If I am going to change the copy controls from CR to G2 or RE (returns) to RE (credit for returns), how

would I need to do ?

The Whole essence of this requirement is that my business doesn't want the cash discount (SKTO) to figure when they issue a credit.

Thanks

Dear Sridhar

For me two suggestions struck my mind.

- Have a new pricing procedure for returns / credits, where you can remove the condition type SKTO

- If this does not suits your requirement, then you have to apply this logic in your routine which you have maintained in VTFF

Hi Lakshmi,

Thanks for your suggestion .But I have bottlenecks in both the cases:

1. In case 1 if I have to change the pricing procedure I need to introduce 2 new pricing procedures as we have 2 different products and both of them use different pricing procedures. This is a viable solution ,but I need to spend most of the time convincing the business that it doesn't impact anything .

2. In case 2 , I have 2 credit scenarios ,(i) normal credit memos (ii) credit for returns . I have the F2 -G2 in VTFF,but there is no F2-RE as of now . So I might have to create this . SInce this both the billing types are standard, is it recommended to create F2 -RE in VTFF?. Please let me know .

OR as said by Mr .Shivram , I am looking at the option of modifying the requirement 6 assigned to SKTO in the pricing procedure .

Thanks

Hi,

Check the requirement assigned against the pricing condition type in the pricing procedure. You may need to alter the requirement routine to exclude the credit memos or make the value as 0, when credit memo is used.You can check with an ABAP'er to add the relevant codings.
