PO of 100 Qty of 100 INR Each
GRN for 100 Qty
Invoice Received of 100 Qty 100 INR Each
It involves Following Steps –
1. Create material in MM01 Tcode

Subsequent Debit
A Subsequent Debit exist when an additional invoice received for a PO that already been invoiced
It’s not possible to post subsequent debit before invoice receipt, its means it’s posted after MIGO (GR) and MIRO (IR)
By posting a subsequent debit the system updates the ordering transaction on a value basis but not on quantity basis
For Example: You have already received an invoice from your vendor for all goods received. Subsequently some additional charges like freight cost are to be taken into account in such case vendor will send an additional invoice but Invoice Quantity remains same (No additional quantity will received)
Test Case
PO of 100 Qty of 100 INR Each
GRN for 100 Qty
Invoice Received of 100 Qty 100 INR Each
Additional Invoice for fright 1000 INR
Steps involved
1. Create material in MM01-> 920000000000014427

4. Goods receipt for PO In MIGO->2100001283
5. Invoice receipt in MIRO ->1217

GRN for 100 Qty
Invoice Received of 100 Qty 100 INR Each
Because of poor packaging vendor will return 500 INR

Note: Mvt Type 122 Vs. 161
Both of them are used for return of shipment to the vendor. However, the purpose of using is completely different. With Movement Type 122, you will have to post your GR reversal with reference to the original GR document number while 161 does not require such original GR document number but the return PO. Therefore, the 161 movement type is only used when you are not able to remember/identify the original GR document number for cancellation.
