Return Delivery in Goods-Receipt-Based Invoice Verification
Use
When GR-based invoice verification has been defined, every goods receipt is settled separately. This means that an invoice always refers to a material document. When you want to return material, you therefore have to reference the material document that you used to post the goods receipt.
Prerequisites
If the invoice for a goods receipt has already been entered, but you reverse the goods receipt or return the goods, you have to ensure that
either the relevant invoice is canceled as well
or another goods receipt which refers to the same invoice is posted.
Note
In Customizing for Inventory Management, you can define for every movement type whether a GR reversal or a return delivery is allowed when GR-based invoice verification has been defined, even though the relevant invoice has already been entered.
If a GR reversal or a return delivery is not allowed, you must cancel the invoice before entering the reversal of the goods receipt or the return delivery.
If a GR reversal or a return delivery is allowed, you can post the material document and cancel the invoice later. If you do not want to cancel the invoice, you can enter the next goods receipt with reference to the return delivery or the reversal document so that the link to the invoice remains intact.
