Is it possible to delete the delivery without deleting the subsequent document

[Former Member]

Dear Team,

When i check the document flow for invoice from VF03,

Delivery document is Archived , Invoice is completed on 10.01.2014.

Then I  checked Evaluation of audit trail using transaction AUT10 for the delivery and found that particular delivery has been deleted on 13.01.2014.

Which means delivery deleted on 13.01.2014 and Invoice completed on 10.01.2014.

So is it possible to delete the delivery without cancel/Delete the Invoice.

Thanks & Regards

Hi,

You can only delete Delivery once all subsequent documents are deleted

But in your case, i suspect it was not a standard Invoice of type F2 ( as per standard). This could be a proforma invoice for which Delivery can be archived

please check whether it is proforma or Commercial invoice

With out reversing the invoice system will not allow to delete the delivery.

In your case check whether the invoice document type is  F2 or S1 ( Invoice created on 10.01.2014), if it is F2, check there could be cancellation document created on 13.01.2104, later immediately delivery document also deleted on the same date that was on 13.01.2014.

thanks,

Hi Thangaraj,

I have checked this case and has the below points which may help you :

Deleting an outbound delivery is not possible until you reverse the billing document but archiving could be possible.

You can perform multiple checks which could have lead to this:

1) check if you are using order related billing.

2) Any specific requirement maintained in copy control which doesnt require GI status complete for Invoicing.It might have allowed as you can delete the delivery if GI is open.

3) Once you cancel and invoice and delete a delivery in the doc.flow it shows as delivery is archived and the delivery is archived. which is a bit tricky.
