Click check.
System shows messages:
- 'Determining quantity or unit of measure for invoicing not possible'.

The status shows as partially inconsistent.
Cause
- This is a Third-Party Order Scenario.
- There are discrepancies on the quantity to be invoiced and the quantity that was planned on the preceding purchase order document.
Resolution
You need to check on preceding documents where the discrepancies occur:
-
sales order
-
purchase order
-
purchase order acknowledgment
- third-party outbound delivery
- outbound delivery invoice request
The quantity on the purchase order acknowledgment must match the quantity on the third-party outbound delivery.
Check if the following task is raised on the purchase order: Check Deviating Purchase Order Acknowledgment.
If this is the case, cancel the outbound delivery, check the deviating quantity and resume invoicing.
