6. Error: The sum of credit amounts is greater than the sum of debit amounts for the preceding supplier invoice item

In cost distribution of the credit memo, the reference item is invoice id-line item (e.g. XXX.1) Here XXX refers to preceding supplier invoice id and 1 refers to the line item.

In the supplier invoice cost distribution, the reference item (XXX.1) shows amount less than the amount in the credit memo.

This is why the error occurs in the credit memo.

Please change the amount in the Credit Memo to the original reference amount as specified in the Supplier Invoice reference.
