Can't apply AP credit for freight only

[Former Member]

It is sometimes necessary to enter an A/P Credit Memo for freight only. This has been doen by entering a service-type credit memo, with nothing in the rows but an amount in the Freight section of the footer. Then this credit memo can be selected along with one or more invoices when creating an outgoing payment. This procedure has worked without any problms in version 2007.

Now the customer is upgrading to 8.81 PL8. When the scenario above is followed, there is an error on the outgoing payment which says "No Record Matching" and references RPC1, the A/P Credit Memo rows. If I populate a row on the credit memo with any GL account and a zero amount, there is no error. We have tested at 8.81 PL9 and also 8.82 PL0, and the error also comes up in those versions.

Is this a bug in the system? There doesn't seem to be any reason why the credit memo should not be accepted in the outgoing payment, regardless of whether it has anything in the rows or not.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Marcia......

You must check the same scenario in new DB or any of the demo database...........

Thank you both for your replies.

I have checked this issue in several different databases, including the SAP demo, in the different versions referenced above. The results are consistent: there is no error in versions prior to 8.81 PL8, and there is an error from PL8 onward.

In this case, it could be by bug other than design,

Hi Marcia,

Have you checked the demo database? If it is the same, it could be due to new data structure change.

Thanks,
