  SAP Error Message: VR648 - Generation was carried out
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  The message VR648 - Generation was carried out typically appears in the context of vendor invoice verification or logistics invoice verification processes in SAP. It indicates that the accounting document generation for the invoice has already been completed.
  In other words, the system is informing you that the invoice document has already been posted/generated, and therefore, the current action you are trying to perform (such as re-generating or posting the invoice again) cannot be carried out because the generation step has already been done.
  
  When does it occur?
  
  When you try to post or generate an invoice document that has already been posted.
  When attempting to re-generate accounting documents for an invoice that is already processed.
  During invoice verification or subsequent processing steps where the system checks the status of the invoice.
  
  
  Solution / How to handle:
  
  
  Check the invoice document status:
  
  Verify if the invoice document has already been posted.
  Use transaction codes like MIRO (Logistics Invoice Verification) or FB03 (Display Document) to check the posted invoice/accounting document.
  
  
  
  Avoid duplicate posting:
  
  If the invoice is already posted, do not attempt to post it again.
  If you need to make corrections, consider using credit memos or cancellation documents instead of re-posting the same invoice.
  
  
  
  If re-generation is required:
  
  Check if the invoice document needs to be reversed first (using transaction MR8M for cancellation of invoice documents).
  After reversal, you can post the invoice again.
  
  
  
  Check for open or blocked documents:
  
  Sometimes, the system might block further processing if there are inconsistencies.
  Review the invoice document status and clear any blocks if necessary.
  
  
  
  Consult with FI/CO or MM team:
  
  If unsure, coordinate with the Finance (FI/CO) or Materials Management (MM) team to understand the invoice processing status and next steps.
