You can prevent this by assigning routine 29 to your billing type in VOFA against the field "Copying requirements"

Hello,

In a normal scenario, once the accounting document is cleared, the invoice should not be cancelled. Because the customer has already paid for the same and all the relevent G/Ls are updated. But when you try to reverse the inovice, it will not update the cleared payment, but it will just make the invocie open and reverse the accountign document. We can't pervent this using standard sap. As the earlier reply suggested, you need to develop a routine.

The best way is to issue a credit memo.

Hi, Its wrong way of doing, you can restrict this in VTFF from your billing type to cancel billing type, header you need to assign requirment - Copying requirements - cancel cleared items not remeber the correct requirment .

No effect normally, if you have different GL for cancellation then might have problem.
