3651127 - Billing Date in "Manage Credit Memo Requests – V2" Automatically Resets to Month-End in SAP S/4HANA Cloud

Symptom

  • The billing date in the Fiori app "Manage Credit Memo Requests - V2" automatically resets to the month-end date based on the billing calendar defined in the customer master data.
  • Attempts to manually change the billing date (e.g., to today's date) are overridden back to the month-end date.
  • When using the VA01 GUI app, the billing date can be changed with a warning and still processed.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Open the Fiori app "Manage Credit Memo Requests - V2".
  2. Create a credit memo request.
  3. Attempt to manually change the billing date to a date other than the month-end date.
  4. Observe that the billing date automatically resets to the month-end date based on the customer's billing calendar.

Cause

The behavior is standard functionality in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, where the billing date in the "Manage Credit Memo Requests - V2" app is derived from the billing calendar defined in the customer master data and cannot be permanently overridden manually within the app.

Resolution

Workarounds

  1. Use VA01 (Create Sales Order – GUI App):
    • Create the credit memo request using VA01 instead of the Fiori app.
    • The system allows manual entry of the billing date and issues a warning, but the date is not overwritten.
  2. Use VA02 (Change Sales Document – GUI App):
    • If the credit memo request is initially created in the Fiori app, the billing date can be modified afterward using VA02 before billing is executed.
