Invoice cannot be reversed while PO is in approval or rejected

Hi all
I have an instance in R/3 of an invoice that I need to reverse. The purchase order was increased to cover this invoice but the invoice has now been paid by other means so is now not required. I cannot reverse the invoice when the purchase order is in an approval state or rejected state. I also cannot enter a credit memo.
The only option I have been advised of is to get the purchase order approved and then reverse the invoice. I don't think I should need to do this? Is there any other way of reversing the invoice?
Thanks
Heidi

Hi Maruthi and sudipto
Thanks for your replies.
1. I cannot reverse through MIR4, the option is greyed out. We are not allowed to 'change' invoices once they have been entered. I can change the accounting document but not reverse it.
2. The invoice in question is a second invoice and has not been paid. It is blocked on quantity. The purchase order had been increased to quantity 2 to cover the second invoice and is now in approval for the increase but we have found out that payment of this second invoice has been made another way (FB60) so this invoice is no longer required.
I cannot reduce the purchase order back to what was originally approved (ie quantity 1) as there 2 invoices against the line. Nor can I reverse the invoice through MR8M while the purchase order is either in approval or rejected. I have been advised the only way to reverse the invoice is to have the purchase order increase approved but is this the only way?
The message I get when I try to reverse the invoice MR8M is:
Purchasing document 4016115 not yet released
Message no. ME390
Diagnosis
The purchasing document is subject to a release strategy. The goods receipt cannot be entered until Purchasing has released (approved) the document.
Procedure
Contact the person responsible in Purchasing in order to have the purchasing document released.
You can view the release strategy in the header data of the purchasing document.
The message talks about a goods receipt which I think is misleading. I've looked through SAP notes for this but have come up with nothing relevant to this situation :o(

Invoice not automatically cleared while reversed

Dear SAP experts,
we are facing the problem which lasts from year 2002. There was posted an accrual invoice in period 06/2002. This invoice was reversed in period 07/2002 with Reversal Reason "Actual reversal in closed period (RED)".
Both invoices (invoice and its reversal) are now showing as not cleared in FBL3N. Also there does not exist the field "Clearing date" on any of line items. But at the document header we can see the connection to the reversal (Reversed by....).
When we try to simulate the same situation in the test system, there is always the connection field "Clearing date" and it is not showing in FBL3N.
Is there any possibility to connect the invoice and its reversal (item by item)?
Thank you very much for your ideas.
Alena

Hi Alena,
You have to include the field BKPF-STBLG in the below path if you are in versions less than ECC
FBL3N (G/L account line item display)
Financial Accounting
General Ledger Accounting
    G/L Accounts
      Line Items
        Display Line Items with ALV
          Define Special Fields for Finding and Sorting Data
Once the changes are done, you can see the reversed document against the line items display in FBL3N.
For more details please have a look at SAP Note 984305 - Line item: Definition of special fields (T021S)
Thanks

Down Payment invoice to be reversed or cancelled

While entering the opening balances we have posted a Down payment invoice twice by mistake. The Journal entries as a result of this are as under:
1. While the down payment invoice was posted the first time (correct transaction):
                                                         (Value in Local Currency)
(a) Party A      Dr.                            10,000/-
     To Prepayments rec 3rd                          10,000/-
   (Invoice No.001)
(b)While booking the payment for the above invoice no.001:
Bank     Dr.                                       10,000/-
     To Party A                                                              10,000/-
   (Receipt for Invoice No.001)
2. While the down payment invoice was posted the second time (duplication done by mistake):
                                                         (Value in Local Currency)
(a) Party A      Dr.                            10,000/-
     To Prepayments received                          10,000/-
   (Invoice No.002)
(b)To rectify the above invoice no.002 the below Journal was passed:
Prepayments received    Dr.                     10,000/-
     To Party A                                                             10,000/-
   (Reversal of Invoice No.002)
The opening balances were then tallied and we started posting the regular transactions
However when we made a A/R Invoice for the above party we wanted to call the down payment invoices we got both both down payment invoices 001 and 002. We want to adjust only down payment invoice 001 and want to cancel down payment invoice 002.
Please advise how to cancel or reverse down payment invoice 002.
Thanks in advance

Document with origin R4 cannot be reversed -error msg EB049

We have an invoice with 2 posting relevant items, the energy charge and a renewable energy credit. the latter was generated as zero (valid condition) and posted as a Cr transaction.
this is the only instance of this scenario as normally the zero amounts post as Db rather than Cr. we upgraded a week ago to SAPK-60308INISUT, could this have caused a change in the main/sub used for posting these zero amounts?
The DFKKOP line item for the zero amount has cleared against itself, and now clearing reset cannot be performed.
error generated is Document XXXXXXXXX with origin R4 cannot be reversed, message number EB049.
The invoice needs to be reversed as its based on an estimated reading that needs changing, and the invoice won't reverse because of the clearing reset issue.
I've researched the error number and can see a few related notes but they were all fixed some time ago and were different scenarios - move-outs and statistical BPP, neither applies in this case.
Please can anyone provide help as to how the clearing can be reset so the invoice can be reversed.
Many Thanks
Astrid

Hi David
EA13 is configured to allow for clearing reset of both fully cleared and partially cleared invoices, and we have numerous cleared invoices that get reversed every day, but this is the first time we've seen this error.
I think the underlying issue is that the zero amount transaction is getting posted as a credit rather than a debit. We've been able to set up the situation in a system that still has the old code, and there it posts as a debit, clears against itself, and can be reversed.
In the QA region which is at the same new version as production, it posts as a self cleared Cr transaction and again can't be reversed.
Besides getting a fix to get make the zero amounts post as debits again, we also need to find a way to reverse the bad invoice in production.
Thanks

Hi Marlene,
Thank you very much for your suggestions.
But I am not creating a custom workflow in designer as Laura has mentioned. I am instead trying to create a new Out of the box Approval Workflow and I get the error mentioned above.
As it works in other environment, I tried figuring out the possible differences which can lead to this error.
Today I found one difference which is there are no form Templates within Infopath Configurations in Central Admin. Now I am trying to figure out what makes this form templates to be added to the template gallery.

FCPX Export issue. Item cannot be shared while it is still referencing media on the camera

I am having issues with exporting a project I just shot and I missed my delivery day and am now late. Need help ASAP. I'll try to keep this as brief as possible and stick to the pertinent information.
The Shoot: -2 Panasonic HVX-200's shooting on P2 Media shooting a live event -Dumped footage onto external hard drive via Macbook Pro on set into separate folders for organization using a Panasonic P2 Reader. -All dumps were confirmed completed and all footage accounted for.
The System: -Using Final Cut Pro X 10.1.2 -Mac Pro Tower 2009 quad core running OSX Mavericks 16gb Ram -Blackmagic Intensity Pro Card
The Edit: -2 Camera multicam edit -Imported footage using import media function -Imported from external drive -(important note: a camera has never been connected to the computer for this project) -Edit is finished, about a 2hr 20 min finished sequence (live event 2 cameras switched in post, all graphics and everything is done)
The Problem: -When I go to export via the "Share" function i get an error that says "This Item cannot be shared while it is still referencing media on the camera" -Imported footage has the camera logo in the corner meaning that it is referencing camera media; yet no camera has ever been connected.
Solutions I have tried: -Re-importing media with re-import function --Says that the camera is not connected yet I never had one connected in the first place. -Deleting preferences -Biting the bullet and starting from scratch to do a re-edit -- footage will not import without referencing "camera media" -Tried importing via dragging and dropping. Says it cannot importing the following files, lists all of the XML and MXF files -Started a new event, with a new project, with a fresh import; same results -Googled this to death, no solution seems to work, but I'll try whatever I have to; client needs this ASAP.
Questions: -The external drive is not showing up as a camera, so why is it importing as camera media? -Is there a way to salvage my edit and get it exported? I have a lot of hours into this and quite frankly, no time to redo the whole thing.
Please help!

I have had this issue too, and figured a work around. FYI, I rebooted, tried everything imaginable, and still no luck. I opened up iPhoto, and imported all the video clips into iPhoto. I then took the missing video from iPhoto, copied it to my desktop. Then I re-imported the video (same name) into Final Cut. I had to do some slight editing of the video, but everything worked fine, and allowed me to upload the video to YouTube.
Not certain it will work for others, but to recap, try to import the video into another program, then copy the missing video file to your desktop, and re-import to Final Cut.
Hope this helps.

Itunes won't open. it keeps saying cannot be opened while being updated.

i have a macbook pro. i updated the os to mavericks maybe 2 months ago. now it is OS x version 10.9.4. last night i was trying to open iTunes. it said updates available so i clicked update. i left my computer on since last night and everytime i try to open iTunes it keeps saying "itunes is being updated. itunes cannot be opened while being updated." is that normal? there's no other program running. i am afraid to reboot the computer, i'm afraid that will cause it to crash.

Restart and see what happens. You won't be any worse off than you are now, as long as you have backups.

FBRA - Clearing cannot be reversed (contract number) Message no. F5538

Dear
In T.code F-51-- transfer posting with clearing-- user has posted the document by giving posting key 27 and vendor code, amount and later in line item 2 by giving posting key 39, vendor code spl gl indicator (for further security deposit), amount and profit center and by mistake filled contract number and contract type.
In t.code F-51, since in line item 002 the fields contract number and contract type are filled by mistake the same could not be removed even in FB02 as they are greyed out.
Later the above spl gl credit was paid by t.code F-53 by selecting the above open item, process open item, and cheque is not yet issued. Now he would like to reverse the document.
Now when the same is tried in t.code FBRA the following error is coming.
"Clearing cannot be reversed (contract number) Message no. F5538"
If contract number and contract type are not filled there is no error at all and the document can be reset and cleared.
We are in ECC 6.00. I just verified the note number 31547 but it is issued on 29.07.1998. Our basis team also said the same thing.
Your valuable inputs are highly solicited.
Regds

Dear
F-53 document has got a clearing document. Hence I cannot directly use F-08 here. So I have to use FBRA only
Requirement is :
Delete the contents at the line item level in the field labels Contract Number and Contract Type viz., BSEG-VERTN, BSEG-VERTT fields. (ex., in T.Code F-51 --in posting key 39 contract number and contract type are filled by mistake by user and they need to be deleted after posting the document)
The above fields have been included in SPRO>Financial Accounting (New)>Financial Accounting Global Settings (New)>Document>Rules for Changing Docuements-->Document Change rules, Line item after posting the document.
But even then I could not delete the contents in the above fields in FB02
Please throw some light as to where I am missing still ?
Regds
Through coding the relevant fields were deleted as per reply received from sap.

Contact picture cannot be seen while talking on the iPhone

This query is with regards to the contact picture, which cannot be seen while I am talking on the iPhone. If you see the review of iphone on the website (apple.com)..u will see a small picture next to John Appleseed. However in my iphone i cannot see it. The contact picture goes behind the menu controls(hold,mute,speaker etc).
Are you guys encoutering the same problme? Please help!

If you assign the picture from within the iphone, it takes up the whole screen. If you assign it from the computer (in your contacts database), then the picture will be in the corner. On the Mac, the contacts database is Address Book, and if you put a picture for a contact there, after a sync, that picture shows up in the corner when calling/talking to that person. I believe this works with Outlook or the Address Book on your PC too.

Document 60000030482 cannot be reversed due to clearing reset

Hello Freinds,
Has anybody faced this error during FP09. Document 60000030482 cannot be reversed due to clearing reset
There are some documents which are stuck in clarification list. Please can anyone help me to rectify this error.
Regards,
Charvi

Hello Christiane
Thanks a lot for your reply. yes even i read that error log. It says
"Instead of posting a reversal of the reversal, you have to recreate theoriginal clearing, that is, post a new equivalent for the original
clearing document."
Does this mean that i need to post a new payment document or try to
adjust with the old document.But if i have to do how will i be ableto
achieve this as the old document is alrady reset and a new document has
been posted which is not a payment document.
This error we have faced for the first time. Please guide us how to
achieve this so that in future we can handle these cases.

ERROR: Clearing cannot be reversed (contract number)

Dear Experts,
When i go to t.code FBRA and want to reset the doc clearing. The error appear with Message no. F5538 Clearing cannot be reversed (contract number).
This is the Diagnosis
It is not possible to terminate clearing because a contract number was posted in the line item 002 of the document 1500000088 3500 2011.
Please anyone, who can answer this case.

Hello Vivek,
Thank you for your information. It's very helpful for me.
On this sap notes, it said 2 program RFVD_CHK_REMOVE_CLEARING or
RFVD_CHK_CHANGE_CLEARING.
You can use program RFVD_CHK_REMOVE_CLEARING for customer, but for vendor you can use RFVD_CHK_CHANGE_CLEARING.
CHANGE CLEARING only break the link between two document and open one side only.
You need to run the program once more for clearing document, so both of them will open again.
If you don run for the second once, the clearing document still closed.
After that you can use t.code FB08 to reverse that document.
Hope this will help the others one.

Pop up message: Norton Confidential cannot protect you while you use this version of Firefox(18.0 current). Phishing Protection requires Firefox 1.5 or later(?

I am currently using Firefox version 18.0 yet when I open Firefox, I always get this pop up message:
“This version of Firefox is not supported by Norton Confidential. You will not be protected while browsing the Web.
Norton Confidential cannot protect you while you use this version of Firefox. Phishing Protection requires Firefox 1.5 or later.”
Do you know what is causing this? This started when I updated to Firefox 16.0.2. Am I at risk?

You may find information on Norton's own forums about this.
I am not sure that any protection against phishing provided by Norton is going to be better than the protection that Firefox offers by default.
