3810049 - Invoice reversal allowed for cleared documents without resetting clearing entry in S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

While a already cleared Supplier invoice is reversed, the system allows the invoice to be reversed without resetting the corresponding clearing entry.

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

1. Identify an Supplier invoice that is already cleared (a clearing document exists).
2. Perform a reversal of the cleared invoice.
3. Observe that the system allows the reversal without first resetting the clearing entry.

By design, MM invoice reversal and FI clearing are decoupled in SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition, so reversing a cleared invoice does not reset the clearing document and can create an additional open item, and this behavior is not a defect.

1. Open the Reset Cleared Items app (F2223).
2. Select the relevant clearing journal entry for the invoice.
3. Choose Reset and Reverse to undo the clearing.
4. Confirm that the original invoice is open again.
5. Reverse the invoice afterward, if required.
6. For high-volume activities, optionally use the Schedule Jobs to Reset Cleared Items app (F9296) to process mass resets.

Note: There is no standard configuration to prevent invoice reversal of cleared items; consider process controls (for example, authorizations) if prevention is required.
