Credit Voucher 
Definition
Document which represents an accounting transaction with payment card before the invoice posting in the system. The credit voucher is a document category in Funds Management Government and is similar in its function to the document categories funds precommitment, funds reservation and funds commitment. The credit voucher can be used in the accounting document as an account assignment object and so be reduced.
Use
As a card holder, you have the option of creating a planned or completed accounting transaction as a credit voucher in the system.
Creating a credit voucher serves the following purposes:
You can specify an account assignment at variance with the card master record for the document generation in the credit voucher. If you have not created a credit voucher for an accounting transaction, the default account assignment defined in the card master record and falling into the validity period is applied.
You can save the funds required for the accounting transaction as earmarked funds in the credit voucher.
You can specify multiline account assignments in the credit voucher. Then you achieve a splitting of the business transaction into several partial amounts and different account assignments.
Integration
Entering a credit voucher is not absolutely necessary for the overall process flow Payment Card Processing in Accounting
When generating accounting documents it is checked for each card transaction data record, if an associated credit voucher exists. If the system finds a suitable credit voucher, then the specifications at variance with the master record are considered in the credit voucher:
If a parked document is generated with reference to a credit voucher, then the system sets the indicator Reduction earmarked . This prevents the credit voucher being used several times.
If a posted FI document is generated with reference to a credit voucher, then the system sets the indicator Reduction earmarked and Document complete.
Note
You can also set the Document complete flag manually. This reverses the earmarked fund created in the credit voucher.
