• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message M8076 - Quantity entered greater than quantity still to be invoiced ?

  The SAP error message M8076 ("Quantity entered greater than quantity still to be invoiced") typically occurs in the context of invoice processing, particularly when dealing with goods receipt and invoice verification. This error indicates that the quantity you are trying to invoice exceeds the quantity that is still available for invoicing based on the goods receipt.
  Cause:
  
  Goods Receipt Quantity: The quantity you are attempting to invoice is greater than the quantity that has been received and is available for invoicing.
  Partial Invoicing: If you have already invoiced part of the quantity, the system will restrict you from invoicing more than what is left to be invoiced.
  Incorrect Data Entry: There may be a mistake in the quantity entered during the invoice creation process.
  Document Status: The status of the purchase order or goods receipt may not allow for further invoicing.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Goods Receipt: Verify the quantity that has been received against the purchase order. You can do this by checking the relevant goods receipt document.
  Review Invoiced Quantities: Look at the previous invoices related to the same purchase order to see how much has already been invoiced.
  Adjust Invoice Quantity: If you find that the quantity you entered is indeed greater than what is available, adjust the invoice quantity to match the remaining quantity that can be invoiced.
  Consult Purchase Order: Ensure that the purchase order is still open and has not been fully invoiced. If it has been fully invoiced, you will not be able to invoice any further quantities.
  Check for Errors: Ensure there are no data entry errors in the invoice or the goods receipt that could be causing the discrepancy.
