Summary :
When canceling a document using Transaction MR8M in SAP, users may encounter the error message M8534 stating 'Balance not zero: & debits: & credits: &'. This typically happens when the involved source document was posted in a prior period, and subsequent changes have been made to the tax rate. To address this, if the posting period of the source document is still open, the reversal should be dated identical to the source document's posting date. If the period is closed, it must be reopened, or alternatively, a credit memo should be posted with the current period’s tax settings, although this may lead to discrepancies in tax amounts due to the rate changes.
