      Hi Sumanth,

      Very neatly presented. Will be self explanatory and useful.

      Is it mandatory to add the Accounting Document Type DR/DG for Debit Memo and Credit Memo in VOFA against the Billing Type G2 and L2? In my case, fields are blank and standard RV is getting picked up automatically as expected.

      However, when it comes to ODN generation for Credit Memo and Debit Memo, it is picking up as RV. Do i need to maintain DR/DG mandatorily in VOFA to generate right ODN with prefix DR/DG for DM and CM?

      We have done all the other setup pertaining to SM30 already.

      Regards,

      Ram
