One credit amount In the SAP B1 context, a credit memo is a standalone document type that reduces revenue or a receivable. In the DATEV export of the Versino Financial Suite, credit memos must be strictly distinguished from reversal documents because incorrect marking as a general reversal would lead to an incorrect balance-reducing representation in DATEV.
Context
Prior to VFS v04.2026, the interface exported both credit notes and reversal bookings using the general reversal key 20. DATEV therefore treated both transactions as reversal bookings – factually incorrect for credit notes, which do not correct a booking error but represent an independent business transaction. From v04.2026 onwards, the cancellation-based mode allows only explicit SAP B1 cancellation processes to receive the GU key; credit notes remain unmarked and are forwarded as normal bookings. (Source: V04.2026_V2, Chap. 4.1.3, p. 11)
Demarcation
The credit note is not a cancellation. A cancellation document reverses an incorrect booking; a credit note arises from a legitimate reason (complaint, discount, return. This factual distinction will also be reflected technically in the DATEV export from VFS v04.2026 onwards.
