Hi,

I was trying to cancell one proforma invoice,but system is not allowing me to do that, it is showing an error message "Proforma invoice cannot be cancelled".

Is there any solution for cancelling the invoice?????

Thanks & regards,

hi

ccheck whether you can delete a proforma invoice as you cannot cancel a proforma invoice because there will not be any accounting docs generated

As per Mr.Lakshmipathi's reply we cannot cancel Proforma invoice, it can be only completed. In status u can check it is cancelled.

Hi ,

Proforma Invoice cant be cancelled .

It should be completed..Goto VF02 and in the menu Billing documents-complete .

Hope this clears.

Proformas cannot be cancelled via VF11.

So first check in document flow what the status shows against the proforma. Next go to VF02, input the proforma reference and from top menu bar, click on Billing document --> Complete.

Now again check the document flow so that you can see the status as "Cancelled".

thanks

Hello Rupam,

The standard R/3 system is not designed to allow the cancellation of

proforma invoices.

Since proforma invoices are not 'real' invoices and neither accounting

documents have been created nor the billing status in the sales order

resp. delivery have been updated,nor statistics have been updated

they cannot be cancelled since there is no need.

Hi Rupam

Just check in VOFA for proforma invoice wheather cancellation billing document type has been assigned or not. If not assigned then assign the cancellation billing document type and then cancel the proforma invoice
