SAP Note 309208 - Negative posting not performed

Component : Integration/Accounting Interface -

Solution : https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/309208 (SAP Service marketplace login required)

Summary :
This SAP Note details issues with cancellation procedures via accounting interface, impacting automatic clearance of FI documents. Specifically, problems arise in transactions VF11 (customer invoice reversal), FBCS (cash journal cancellation), and IS-H (NA30N transaction) where documents fail to automatically clear. Since Release 4.6, a new reversal function was supposed to clear related accounting documents, but fails under certain conditions, reverting to the old procedure. The solution involves processing function modules of participating components and verifying individual conditions preventing cancellation. Errors like missing follow-on documents, date mismatches, or prerequisites in FI, CO, FI-SL, EC-CS, FI-LC, RE, and FI-AA impact the functionality.
