  Editing the invoice to remove the incorrect PO references.
  Creating a new invoice for the additional POs if they need to be processed separately.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration: If this situation arises frequently, review the configuration settings in your SAP system related to invoice processing and purchase order integration. Ensure that the settings align with your business processes.
