  Delete or Reverse the Dependent Documents:

  For material documents, use MBST (Cancel Material Document).
  For billing documents, use VF11 (Cancel Billing Document).
  
  
  
  Check for Open Items or Clearing Issues:
  
  Sometimes, open items related to the RMA need to be cleared.
  Use F-32 or FBL5N to check customer open items and clear them if necessary.
