# Credit Memo after MIRO invoice - SAP Accounts Payable for Beginers

Sometimes goods need to be returned after the invoice is posted. In order to tie it to the original invoice, a credit memo can be entered through the MIRO function. DO NOT use the credit memo t-code (F-41) as this will not give you the history with the PO.

Normally, the MIRO screen appears ready for an invoice to be entered. Use the drop-down function to change this to “Credit Memo”.

All line items come in as selected (highlighted). In this example, we are getting a credit for$500.00 for 25 blankets (the third line item). Un-select all line items except the one that pertains to the credit. Since the background of the fields are white, they can be changed. Change the amount to correspond to the credit. Also, change the quantity to the amount reflected by this credit memo.In this example,$500.00 equals 25 items. Press [Enter] or the green checkmark.

Notice that the “Balance” light has turned green since the changes were made.
