[Former Member]

Hi all sap gurus,

I have a problame in cancellation of billing. problame is

I have by mistake created a cancel a invoice which is already cleared ( payment has been done by the customer) two months back. but unfortunately by taking that invoicce I have cancelled the invoice and system allow me to cancel the invoice. now when my user executes the tcode vfx3 then it shows the in voice has not been posted in accounting. so now what I have to do because the invoice has been cleared and the posting period has been closed for that month. my user dosent want that cancellation invoice come while executing the tcode vfx3. Can It possible delete from the vbrk table??? or is there any best practices in industries. Please advice me beacause audit is going to be happen end of the month. your advice in highly apperciated.

Thanking you in advance!!!

Hello Santosh,

it is possible to reverse a cancellation.

It is enough to maintain a billing type in field 'Cancell.billing type' TVFK-FKARTS in the invoice cancellation billing type.

Example:

billing type F2 has TVFK-FKARTS = S1 -> F2 invoice can be cancelled by S1 bill.document

billing type S1 has TVFK-FKARTS = S2 -> S1 invoice can be cancelled by S2 bill.document

Anyway notice that F2 invoice will keep the field VBRK-FKSTO = 'X'.

It has the restriction mentioned in SAP KBA 1721004.

Best regards,

Ivano.

I am not clear in this statement.  When you say invoice is cancelled in the first sentence, you say in the next sentence that system is showing in VFX3 which is not possible.  Do you mean to say, an invoice was posted with corresponding accounting document and that accounting document has been cleared ??  By mistake, user has deleted the billing document ??

If this is what you intend to say, how come system is showing in VFX3.  If system is showing in VFX3, then I can conclude that you have not yet cancelled.  Nevertheless, for the cleared accounting document, if you cancel the billing document, it will have negative impact at a later date.  Just for audit sake, dont do the suggestion which has already been suggested.   Face the audit and give an assurance to the auditors that this will not be repeated for which, you can certainly have control by assigning standard routine in VOFA.
