and I canceled this billing and want to delete this sales order item.

the system shows error message which shows "already has subsequent document"

but I have already canceled the billing. why can't I deleted the sales order item 20?

Hi,

Do as per Mr. Shiva ram suggested, come to VA02 select the line item and give reason for rejection and save the document,the line item will not come in to invoice.

Correct solution (use rejection reason) has already been given, but to explain "why" - this is because the sales order and line number have already been captured in the document flow and as the reference field on the subsequent document. For example, if you look in VBRP table for the cancelled invoice, you'll most likely see the order number there. If the record is deleted, it'd caus inconsistencies in the database and loss of reference data.

The sales order and delivery item can only be deleted if there are no consequent documents. If you delete the delivery you can also delete the order afterwards and the order with no delivery may also be deleted. But as soon as you create an invoice (which can only be cancelled, not deleted because it's a financial document), then it's not possible to delete the order.

Dear Hung Fa Hu

In order to cancel the sales document firest respective billing documnet and delivery documnet (Reverse PGI) has to be calcelled.

Then only system will allow you to cancel the sales document.

In your case you canceled the invoice and you just reverse the PGI by using the t.code (VL09) and go to the va02 assign the reason for rejection. and this document will not be used any longer.

Save the document.

Please check it and revert

Thanks&Regards

Hi ,

Check Delivery has been created for that item or not. If created , cancel it and try to delete the item.

Try to put reason for rejection for the line item and check the document status.
