Generating CO document in MIRO

[Former Member]

Hi,

My client has a process where he creates a return purchase order and then do a debit note (MIRO) on the latter. No goods issue is done since there is no actual movement of goods .For the debit note, we debit the vendor account and credit a revenue account. So is it possible to generate a CO document for the movement made on the revenue account? If yes how do i get to do it? Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi,

Thank you all for your answers. Just wanted to add that Note 378800 disable the control of the accounting key. However it has some unwanted effects. Do you know of a BTE that can be used to create a CO document when using MIRO?

Hi,

I have debug the transaction MIRO and the reason why the CO document is not created is because their is a control on the accounting key. For Accounting key WRX which is the one used to charge on the revenue account no CO document should be created. Do you know of a way to bypass such control and force it to generate the CO document.

Thank you.

I dont think there is any other way to bypass the control

Hi,

In return PO process a GI for goods returned to vendor is expected , however in your process if GI is not expcted as material is scrapped on for any reason , then using MIRO will always post to GRIR credit as it need to nullify the debit which was posted at the time of invoice posting.

If you need to need to post invoice value or material value to revenue account you need to do following:

-Instead of posting debit note from MIRO post manual debit note from FI and credit revenue account which you want .

-Or, in MIRO if posting to GL is allowed , then put the amount of invoice in GL tab page with desired GL , so credit will not go to GRIR , however there will always be debit balance in GRIR as nor corrosposnding credit exist .

-Or , scrap the material and assign revenue account you want to Tkey attached to scrap movement type.

The cost element category is 1.

Hi,

The business need is to generate a CO document. The revenue account is assigned to a cost element and has a cost centre attributed. When generating the FI document we can clearly see the cost centre when crediting the revenue account. OKB9 is properly configured. But still no CO document is generated. Is there a function configuration that is missing?

Hi

What is the cost ele category? 1 or 11?

If it is 11, try to post it to a PSG and check... If you have assigned any cost center in the posting and the GL is a cost element, then CO doc has to get generated...

Execute report S_ALR_87013611 and scroll down to Statistical postings incase your cost ele is 11 category and you posted to cost ctr

Hi

If your revenue account is a cost element and you enter some CO object like PSG or Internal order for it, then CO doc will get generated

Your orientation should not be towards generating a CO doc, but that should be driven by business need....
