Which documents can only be created with reference to a billing document? Note: There are 2 correct answers to this question.

Question

Options

• ADebit memo request
• BReturns order
• CInvoice cancellation
• DInvoice correction request

• A
  10% (3)
• B
  17% (5)
• C
  72% (21)

Explanation

Invoice cancellations (C) and invoice correction requests (D) can only be created with reference to an existing billing document because they are inherently reactive - they exist solely to reverse or fix a specific posted invoice, making the billing document a mandatory anchor. Without a billing document to reference, neither action has any logical object to act upon.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (Debit Memo Request): Can be created standalone or with reference to a sales order - no billing document is required.
• B (Returns Order): Can reference a sales order, a billing document, or be created without any reference at all, giving it more flexibility.

Memory tip: Think of C and D as "after-the-bill" documents - cancellations undo a bill, and correction requests fix a bill. Both require the bill to already exist. Debit memo requests and returns orders, by contrast, can start a new process from scratch.
