How To Fix M8357 - Invoiced quantity from order & & smaller than reversal quantity

M8357 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: M8 - Invoice Verification/Valuation

• Message number: 357

• Message text: Invoiced quantity from order & & smaller than reversal quantity

What causes this issue?

The quantity invoiced is smaller than the quantity reversed for item
&V2& of purchase order &V1&. This can have one of the following reasons:
A credit memo was posted after the invoice you want to cancel was
posted.
The GR/IR account has already been maintained for the order item
concerned.
In both cases the quantity invoiced has been reduced. The quantity you
wish to reverse would therefore be greater than the quantity actually
invoiced. This is not possible.

How to fix this error?

If a credit memo has been posted, you must first cancel this. Only then
can you cancel the invoice. To see the number of the credit memo, choose
<LS>Document -> Display </>, position the cursor on the order item and
choose <LS>Environment -> PO history</>.
If the GR/IR account has already been maintained, the invoice cannot be
canceled. If this is the case, you must post a <ZH>Credit memo without
reference</> direct to the material to reverse the invoice and GR/IR
account maintenance postings.
Example:
,,Invoice ,,GR/IR accnt maint.,,Credit memo w/o ref.
Stock account ,, ,,200 + ,,200-
GR/IR accnt ,,200 + ,,200 -
Supplier account ,,200 - ,, ,,200 +
