Summary :
Since the release 46A, the cancellation procedure for SD invoices in SAP has been updated to allow for a real reversal of the original accounting document directly within the accounting component, enhancing data integrity and operational efficiency. Utilizing function module AC_DOCUMENT_REVERSE, the system attempts the new cancellation first; if it cannot be executed due to predefined conditions, such as item cancellations or revenue recognition items, the old method using AC_DOCUMENT_CREATE is employed. This note outlines conditions under which each method is applied, the implications of a successful new cancellation, and the determination of FI document types through configurations in VOFA and OBA7. Key messages like VF208 or VF216 guide troubleshooting for failed cancellation attempts, streamlining the process management and customization.
