Symptom
When creating a Credit Memo for a Supplier Invoice/ Purchase Order, the system proposes 0 quantity for all items, resulting in a zero-value Credit Memo.
Environment
SAP Business ByDesign
Reproducing the Issue
- Go to Supplier Invoicing Work Center.
- Go to Invoices and Credit Memos view.
- Search for ABC (ABC represents Supplier Invoice ID).
- Select it.
- Click on New and select Credit Memo.
- Now the default data populates with zero quantity for all line items, resulting in a zero-value Credit memo.
Cause
- The system behavior is expected when the reference type in the Supplier Invoice's Cost Distribution is delivery document and the product type is "material" (both To-Stock and Non-Stock).
- For service item types, the system proposes the quantity as expected.

- Go to Supplier Invoicing Work Center.
- Go to Invoices and Credit Memos view.
- Search for Supplier Invoice ABC.
- Select it.
- Choose New
- Choose Credit Memo.
- Now in the New Credit Memo screen, manually enter the quantities in the Item level and in the cost distribution.
