GR IR quantity and amount do not match

Question

Hello,
I came across a PO where the GR and GR reversal were posted after the invoice matched and cleared. The amount and the quantities that posted on GR and GR reversal do not match because they are posted to wrong materials. Now I have these two entries in GRIR account and I cannot clear them because they do not match.
So, i. Is there any configuration that would restrict from posting a GR and GR reversal after the invoice has been matched?
     ii. Is there any configuration that would allow to post GR/GR reversals to correct materials?
I highly appreciate your responses.
Thank you
Priya

Hi,
I understand this is end user error but I am looking for configuration in SAP that would not allow this. Please let me know if you need more details.
Your PO have material with line items 10 and 20  with a specific price and then goods receipt amount is differs. First cross check price control of each material master in MM03 t.code and find with respect to which price goods receipt value are posted.
For your example:
Suppose there are two materials 10, 20
Material 10 - quantity 5 net price 5
Material 20 - quantity 10 net price 2
GR of quantity 5 and price 2 i.e total 10 posted to material 10
GR of quantity 10 and price 5 ie total 50 posted to material 20
You may have price control S where system posted GR for material 10 with price 2 as PO have price 5 and for material 20 with price 5 as PO have price 5.
If goods receipt posted with quantity and value with updation of GR/IR clearing account , then during invoice posting the same GR/IR clearing account updated.
Cross check material master price with price control, material price in PO, material posted with price in GR and invoice posted material price. Analyze,If any  difference on quantity-  go for correction with cancellation IR & GR posted, then post with original GR quantity and finally do invoice or else check for  MR11 for GR/IR clearing balance.
