• Message text: Cancelation of GM not possible; follow-up documents are active

What causes this issue?

You want to cancel a goods movement of an outbound or inbound delivery.
However, active follow-up documents have already been created in
<DS:GLOS.47AD987B634839F4E10000000A421392>Advanced Returns Management</>
for at least one delivery item.

System Response

Cancelation is not possible.

How to fix this error?

Check which active follow-up documents exist (such as warehouse
inspection, returns purchase order, goods movements, and so on). To
cancel the goods movement, you must first cancel all the active
follow-up documents that the system takes into account.
Note:
In the replacement material process, the system only considers active
invoices when you cancel a goods issue for a returns purchase order. In
transaction MR8M (<LS>Cancel Invoice Document</>), you must therefore
cancel the invoices first before you can cancel the goods issue.

Procedure for System Administrators

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