1. Go to the General Ledger work center.
2. Go to the Source Documents view.
3. Find the relevant Supplier Invoice Cancellation.

The error message "Reversal of posting not possible as fixed asset -AAA is assigned to a different organizational unit on YYYYMMDD; retry after changing the organizational assignment in fixed asset -AAA to the same values as they were on the posting date of document being reversed" is displayed.

This error occurs because the organizational assignment of the fixed asset was changed after its capitalization with the original supplier invoice. Either the fixed asset got assigned to a different profit center or a different cost object, for example a project task.

The relevant Fixed Asset needs to be Capitalized and the Organizational Unit adjusted to the previous one used.

Before the cancellation invoice can be posted ensure that the original invoice value is still capitalized on the asset. Any depreciation or transfer postings must be manually adjusted or reversed.

If it is not possible to change the organizational assignment of the fixed asset it can be considered to mark the cancellation supplier invoice as irrelevant from the backend via Support.

However, marking the reversal document as irrelevant will cause a technical inconsistency as the original invoice will still appear as canceled in Supplier Invoicing whereas it appears as posted in Accounting.

This inconsistency must be balanced by

• creating a supplier credit memo to clear the original invoice amount,
• adjusting the expense generated from the depreciation calculation, for example through a Special Depreciation posting,
• retiring the fixed asset via a manual complete scrapping posting.

If you are aware of this technical inconsistency and take over full responsibility to balance this inconsistency on your side, please send an incident to the SAP Cloud Product Support requesting and permitting to mark the cancellation invoice as irrelevant from the backend.
