Warranty Only Posting WR (Warranty Debit) Document To Both Claimant And Reimburser (OEM)

[former_member286190]

Hi Experts,

Am setting up warranty process based on post crediting scenarios in Automotive importer system.while posting version from reimbuirser (OEM) (Version IV) it is creating correctly generating warranty debit (accounting doc type WR) ,but the problem while posting version to the claimant (Dealer) version OC again it is generating (WR) warranty debit document.To my understanding it should generate warranty credit (WP) to the claimant actually.

In the configuration settings in IMG i have given document type correctly as Document Type Customer Posting (WP) Document Type Vendor Posting ( WR ).I have attached my img settings screen shot.

(OC) outgoing claimant version always posting to vendor, Even if i provide sold to party in partner function .

Kindly help to resolve the issue.

Hi Mohammed,

In the standard Warranty claim processing, financial accounting (FI) is integrated with the receivables/debit memos and payables/credit memos in the following way:

1) Credit memos are posted to the claimant and the debit memos to the reimburser.

2) Revenue account determination in Warranty Claim Processing serves to automatically determine the G/L accounts to which the revenue, sales deductions (additions and deductions) and tax should be posted when posting the credit memos to the claimant or debit memos to the reimburser.

2) Amounts from debit memos to the reimburser are posted as positive revenue, amounts from credit memos to the claimant are posted as negative.

3) Furthermore, the SAP standard system provides the document types WP (warranty credit memo) and WR (warranty debit memo).

The standard posting actions accordingly accomplish the above mentioned process.

Please check also online documentation:

I hope this answers your question.

Hi Kirstein,

Thank you very much for the answer.

My issue is as of now both of my warranty versions IV- Incoming version from reimbuirser ,OC -Outgoing version to claimant getting posted to vendor account only ( ie ) Vendor account (Dr) to Warranty revenue account (cr)..(both versions getting posted with same Document type WR Debit memo for both claimant and reimbuirser) .I guess there is a mistake from my IMG settings

From your answer:

In the standard Warranty claim processing, financial accounting (FI) is integrated with the receivables/debit memos and payables/credit memos in the following way:

1) Credit memos are posted to the claimant and the debit memos to the reimburser.

a) If my understanding is not wrong , WR (warranty debit memo) should be posted with partner type customer( reimbuirser OEM ) against our revenue , even though generally we consider our reimbuirser OEM as Vendor ??

b) WP (warranty credit memo) should be posted with partner type Vendor(Claimant) against the negative revenue, even though normally we consider our Claimant Dealer as Customer. ??

Please correct my understanding .
