1811581 - The Item in the Document has the Same Quantity as the Item in the Reference Document, but the Price is Lower

Symptom

Unable to post the cancellation invoice due to an error message: Item X: The item in the document has the same quantity as the item in the reference document, but the price is lower.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to the Supplier Invoicing Work Center.
  2. Select the Invoices and Credit Memos view.
  3. Select the invoice ABC and select Edit button.
  4. Select Post button, then the system displays the error message.

Cause

The error message is caused by a change in the Posting Date of the supplier invoice and the cancellation invoice, resulting in a different currency conversion rate.

For example, a supplier invoice was created in USD currency and posted on DD:MM:YYYY (Ex:03.12.2012). The cancellation of the supplier invoice was posted on DD:MM:YYYY (Ex: 01.01.2013). The purchase order related to the supplier invoice was posted in EUR currency. The system checks the currency conversion rate based on the posting date. Due to changes in the currency conversion rate, an error message is displayed.

Resolution

To prevent this error message, please post the invoice on the same posting date DD:MM:YYYY (Ex:03.12.2012).
