Symptom
FI invoice is available for payment even when the purchase order is cancelled. The payment can be made to the invoice through accounting applications.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Create a Purchase Order.
- Post the invoice.
- Cancel the Purchase Order.
- Make payment against the invoice using Post Outgoing Payments/Manage Automatic Payments.
Cause
- Postings are made within credit memo posting logic.
- System has to take all previous postings into account in its calculations.
- Total quantities of all previous invoices, credit memos, and goods receipts are taken into account.
Resolution
- This is the standard system design. When you cancel an invoice, the system posts a credit memo for the data in the invoice. The postings are made in accordance with the credit memo posting logic.
- This means that the postings in the invoice are not necessarily reversed. This is especially the case when an invoice is to be cancelled for a purchase order for which several invoices have already been posted.
- Similarly, when you cancel a credit memo, the postings made in the credit memo are not necessarily reversed.
