• Message class: M8 - Invoice Verification/Valuation

• Message number: 290

• Message text: Goods receipt document & has already been cancelled

What causes this issue?

You are trying to post an invoice for goods receipt &V1&.
This document has possibly been reversed already. The goods may have
been returned or a greater quantity may have been invoiced than
delivered.
Since goods-receipt-based Invoice Verification has been defined in
order item &V2& &V3&, the invoice cannot now be posted for the goods
receipt, because the invoiced quantity is greater than the delivered
quantity.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

In the purchase order history, check if the invoice refers to another
goods receipt document. If it does, use this document number for the
posting. If it does not, post a new goods receipt, post the invoice
referring to the new goods receipt, and then cancel the goods receipt.
