Creating Credit Memo in Ariba

The Supplier Creates the Credit Memo

The Supplier has received a Return Ship Notice from the Buyer. Once he receives the goods being returned by the Buyer, he will generate a credit Memo to credit the buyer for the cost of goods returned. He creates the Credit Memo on Ariba Network.

The process begins by finding the Returns Purchase Order on Ariba Network, then, in the Create Invoice dropdown, and selecting the Credit Memo for Return Items option.

He then populates the fields on the Credit Memo screen and choose Submit. The Credit Memo is created and sent to the Buyer on their SAP system.
