Documentation
Definition
The payment method for credit memos specifies the method, for example, check, bank transfer or bill or exchange, that is used for credit memos (that is, payments to customers or payments from vendor).
Credit memos can arise either directly or as the result of a condition item (for example, a condition reduction) or as the result of a retroactive change to a condition item for which periodic posting was already performed.
In periodic postings, the payment method for credit memos is set to the customer (vendor) for all payable debit postings (credit postings).
Procedure
Note that the payment program only clears a debit posting with a credit posting if the documents contain the same payment method.
If you want to clear receivables with credit memos, therefore, you either have to leave the payment method blank for both, or specify that the credit memo and the receivable have the same payment method. You should change the payment method for credit memos as soon as it becomes clear that there will not be any more receivables for a given contract, and that the remaining credit memos should be paid, for example, by check (for instance, for notice at mid-month).
Recommendation
Normally a payment method should not be entered for credit memos.
