Symptom

  • The field "credit memo payment terms" in the customer master is not used when creating a credit memo for a customer via credit memo request.
  • The due date is filled with the credit memo request creation date instead of being calculated based on the payment terms.
  • The "Invoice Reference" field is not available in the credit memo request document, which results in the field being empty when the document is posted to accounting.

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Access the "Manage Credit Memo Requests" app.
  2. Create a credit memo request for a customer.

Cause
