Symptom
When running MR11, the system displays the error "Purchase order history already inconsistent".
The purchase order history shows multiple invoices posted for the same quantity on the same item.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition
Reproducing the Issue
- Open the MR11 (Maintain GR/IR Clearing Account) app.
- Execute MR11 for the affected purchase order item.
- Observe the error "Purchase order history already inconsistent" (Message no. 025).
Cause
Two invoices were posted with the same quantity for the same purchase order item, resulting in over‑invoicing and an inconsistent purchase order history.
Resolution
Review the purchase order history and identify the duplicate or over‑invoiced accounting document(s).
Reverse the incorrect duplicate invoice; or, if reversal is not feasible, post a credit memo to correct the excess invoiced quantity.
Confirm that the purchase order history is consistent and re‑run MR11 to clear GR/IR; the error should no longer occur.
