SAP allowed an user to cancel an invoice that had a credit memo attached

[Former Member]

SAP allowed an user to cancel an invoice that had a credit memo attached to it. If there are any documents linked to an invoice, the system should not allow the invoice to be cancelled right. Kindly let me know how to solve this, is there any control, any user exit.

Ex. An Invoice is issued on 10/05

Credit memo issued against the invoice on10/15 at 16:34

Original invoice is cancelled on 10/15 at 16:43

Hi Gabriel,

In order to solve this issue. Create own requirement in VOFM - Copying Requirement . (Take the help of ABAPer) and create your own requirement. Assign this in Billing Document Type (VOFA)- Copying requirement.

Pls try this and revert.

We use Billing Document Type - F1- Invoice (Where under field Cancellation - Cancell.billing type S1 is assigned)

And Billing Document Type - S1- Cancellation of Invoice is used.

To which billing document type - Under Cancellation - Copy Requirement field i should attach the newly created routine. Should i assign it to F1 or S1copy requirement field? Pls guide me.

Thanks,

Hi Santhosh,

Thanks. Let me workout this with the help of our tech consultant to create own routine in VOFM and assign this to the BILLING DOCUMENT TYPE ---> COPYING REQUIREMENTS.

And my understanding is Billing Doc type - Invoice creation say F2 NOT G2. Pls confirm.

Thanks and Regards,

Hi,

There is no STANDARD ROUTINE for this.

You have to create your own routine in VOFM and assign this to the BILLING DOCUMENT TYPE ---> COPYING REQUIREMENTS

Take help of your developer and explan him your requirement and ask him to create the routine in VOFM

thanks,'

Hello,

There is no standard option available.

You have to create your own routine and use in the "Copying Requirement" field.

Hello Mahe,

In the standard system there is no restriction against cancelling an invoice for which there is a Credit Memo.

If you want to implement certain restrictions yourself, you will have to create your own requirement routine. A routine to unallow the reversal of invoice with subsequent return or credit memo can be set in transaction VOFA, field 'Copying requirements' TVFK-GRBED_S.

I hope this helps.
