Summary :
When attempting to cancel a billing document generated via the general billing interface in SAP, error VF188 'Data inconsistency when processing document &1' may occur due to a mismatch in the billing category (FKTYP) values between the original and cancellation documents. The issue arises when the billing category for cancellation is automatically set to 'X', inconsistent with the original document's category. Resolving this requires custom modifications. Users should implement a copying requirement using transaction VOFM, then update the 'Copying requirement' field in the 'Cancellation' section for the affected billing type through transaction VOFA. Consult the attached note 170183 for guidance.
