F.19 in case of goods return

[Former Member]

Dear Gurus.

I'd like to know the logic of calculation of F.19
in case of return goods like below.

Dr.GRIR 100
Cr.Inventory 100

I thought that in F.19, debit and credit is sum and if the balance is not zero,
the difference will be posted as adjustment account.
But in above case, F.19 recognize this is Inventory related document,
even though value will be negative and GRIR is debit side.

How F.19 recognize it?
From document type?

Hi,

The program selects all items in GR/IR clearing accounts that are open at the specified key date. If the open items per purchase order number and item in local currency do not balance out to zero, adjustment postings are created in a batch input session for these items. With a credit balance, the transaction is seen as "delivered, but not invoiced". With a debit balance, the transaction is seen as "invoiced, but not delivered".

However, for adjustment posting you have to provide a document type under the posting tab of F.19. Then it posts the document with the mentioned doc.type.

Mukthar,

Thanks for your feedback.

In your reply,

"With a debit balance, the transaction is seen as "invoiced, but not delivered"."

So, in my example case, since inventory is canceled(returned), debit balance is remained.

(Dr.GRIR, Cr.Inv)

But, in this case, obviously, Not invoiced yet.

And, by F.19, it seems like SAP recognized as

negative value of "delivered, but not invoiced".

Since this is inventory cancel, SAP's action seems correct.

So, my question is "How SAP recognize it as  "delivered, but not invoiced",

even though GR/IR balance is in debit side".

Hi,

System is recognized based on debit or credit indicators of the GR/IR balance. However, in your case the inventory has returned. Then at the time of goods receipt the GR/IR has created. When you return the goods the GRIR balance gets debited and both debit/credit will be nullified.
