37.invoice Correction Request
Document type = RK
In SAP after 4.6C Version a new sales document type Invoice Correction Request has been delivered, so as to
compensate the customer as well as compensate the business also, in the form of invoice correction request (a single
document).
NOTE: Instead of using G2 and L2 for customer and business compensation we can use single sales document.
Invoice correction request creates two items for a single item in a sales order as a credit item and debit item. The
first item is the credit item and the second item is the debit item.
The invoice correction request represents combination of credit and debit memo requests. One side credit is granted
fully for that incorrect billing item, while it is simultaneously debited (automatically created) as a debit memo item.
The difference created represents the final full amount to be created. The invoice correction request must be created
with reference to billing document.
When we create invoice correction request the items are duplicated. The resulting item category must have plus (+)
[credit] or minus (–) [debit] values. First all credit items are listed followed by debit items. We can delete credit or
debit in pairs.
Business scenarios:
Quantity difference: It can be used when a customer complaints for the damage.
Ex: Damaged quantity or high price. The system corrects the quantities to be billed via the debit memo item.
Price difference: When the business incurs loss. Then the business also can be compensated via the debit memo
item only.
Item category = L2N
NOTE: We have to change the quantity or price for customer compensation or business compensation to the debit
item only, as system corrects only through debit item. According to compensation system generates invoice.
