Summary :
As of SAP R/3 Release 4.6, a new cancellation function was introduced, automatically clearing accounting documents linked with both the original and cancellation billing documents. If this new procedure fails, the system defaults to an older method without automatic clearing, yet does not alert the user. SAP advises implementing the attached correction and creating a new SE91 transaction message in VF message class, message 208, indicating when automatic clearing is not feasible due to limitations in FI, while the SD functions as intended. Issue resolution is forthcoming in Release 4.6C.

Key words :
message class vf create message 208, additional key words rwin, original billing document, message vf 208, cancellation billing document, billing document &1, billing document, cancellation function, accounting documents, automatically cleared
