Processing Cancellation Invoice for which Delivery Document got archived

[Former Member]

Hi,

We have a scenario where the Delivery Document with reference to which the Cancellation Invoice was created has now been archived. The Sales Document is at status 'Completed'. But we are not able to post the Invoice document as it checks the status of the preceeding document which got archived.

We are not able to post this Cancellation Invoice nor are we able to Cancel the same as the system keeps checking the preceeding document status.

Is there any way to get rid of this document in the system or process it further?

Can we process this document through transaction FB70 where we provide the reference to this Cancellation Invoice and post it?

Please guide in this regard.

Regards,

Delivery Document with reference to which the Cancellation Invoice was created

How you can create a Cancellation Invoice wrt the Delivery Number. As per the standard process , cancel the Invoice wrt to Invoice which has already been created.In case if your Delivery is archived , you can still post the Cancel Invoice if both are in the same Billing Date.

If the Invoice or PGI was done on previous month & the period is closed then it that case , it will not allow to post the Cancel Invoice.

The issue is that the delivery has been archived which does not allow the invoice to be cancelled because cancelling the billing doc will re-set the status on the delivery. Trouble is the delivery has been archived.

I would suggest that you process a goods return and then start the process from scratch.
