Reference field in invoice cancellation

[Former Member]

Dear Collegas,

When cancellating an invoice (INVOICE1), a new billing document (INVOICE 2) is created and in the FI document of the cancellation, the system is taking the reference field (SD invoice number) from INVOICE1. The customer wants the system to bring the INVOICE2 number instead of INVOICE1 number.

In billing document custo (VOFA), field "Reference Number" value "E" Current billing document number

In Copy control from Invoice to Invoice is also customized vale "E" Current billing document number

Any ideas.

Kind regards.

Mikel

Hi Mikel,

Since release 4.6, a new cancellation procedure was introduced which allows the automatic clearing of the accounting document when reverse an SD invoice by VF11. With this new cancellation, both BSEG-VBELN and BKPF-XBLNR reference the number of the original invoice. The cancellation does not appear in the open items, because it is automatically cleared out with the corresponding invoice.

You can get more information from note 400000.However, if you want to back the old function apply the notes:

339928

309208

The note 339928 explains how to deactivate the new cancellation procedure. If the new cancellation procedure is deactivated then the field XBLNR (Reference Document Number) should be filled like requested.

Thanks,

Alex

Hi,

Which field in Billing documnet you are looking. Reference field in Header i.e XBLNR comes from billing document type.

For cancelation you maintained copy control also? For item level reference field is VBRP-VGBEL- source document
