Duplicate CREDIT MEMO

[Former Member]

Hi everybody,

When it comes to the Invoice (in MIRO) the default system settings check for the Company Code, Vendor Number, Reference Field (at the invoice header) and Invoice Date to validate if the invoice is a duplicate one.

BUT that is only for INVOICE.

The same does not happen when you choose the CREDIT MEMO option in MIRO. So, i can post MULTIPLE credit memos with the same Invoice Date, same Amount and same Reference Text.

Is this standard behaviour? If no, am i doing something wrong.

Any suggestions how to avoid a duplicate CREDIT Memo.

Please help.

Maars.

Hi,

Everything is working as expected when i choose option 1 in the dropdown in MIRO (ie., for INVOICE). SAP successfully stops me from creating a duplicate invoice.

But when i choose option 2 in MIRO (ie., CREDIT MEMO) the system does not stop me when i create TWO credit memos with the SAME

a) Document Date

b) Reference Text

c) Amount

The vendor has already been enabled to prevent double invoice posting (in case of duplicates).

Please help.

Note 305277 - Check for double credit memos

This solved the problem.

This is an standard functionality provided by SAP. That for credit memos SAP won't check duplicate entry. I have one question for what reason they have provided this functionality? What is the logic behind that.
