How to delete orders ,for those delivery and invoice are created ( invoice created and cancled)

Hi,

There is no way you can delete the order if you already created DO and Invoice for that SO.

You need to cancel invoice and reverse DO. Reason for doing so is because you will not want to keep accounting entry which you already posted for invoice to your system and at the same time ensure your stock is properly return back to the system itself. Hope you are clear on this.

Thanks.

hi

Invoice can be cancelled using T cose VF11 and then you can reverse the Goods Issue using VL09 and making the picking quantity zero in the deivery document and delete the delivery order using VL02n .

then you can then delete the sales order then.

I dont think you can delete sales orders which have subsequent documents. Even if you reverse the invoice it generates a new document (S1) so i am not too sure whether the system will allow you to delete the sales order. What you can do is to put reason for rejection in the sales order line items which are open so that there is no danger of them getting processed furthur, if that is your requirement.

Stand alone sales order can be deleted

To delete an order you need to reverse the invoice VF11 and VF02 (sounds like you've done this), reverse the GM with VL09 and delete the delivery with VL02N. Once that is complete you can go in to VA02 and delete the sales order.

We don't usually delete SOs in Production. You lose all history. Can also just reject line item if you want to keep audit trail intact.
