  SAP Error Message:
  WZRE_IV231 - Cancellation only allowed with program RWLF2021 (due to log)
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to cancel a logistics invoice verification document (such as an invoice or credit memo) using a standard cancellation transaction or program other than the designated program RWLF2021.
  
  The system enforces that cancellations of certain invoice verification documents must be done using the special program RWLF2021 because these documents have associated logs or special data that need to be handled carefully.
  This restriction is in place to ensure data consistency and integrity, especially when the invoice document is linked to logistics processes and has a detailed change log.
  Attempting to cancel the document via other means (e.g., standard transaction MIRO cancellation or manual reversal) triggers this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error and successfully cancel the invoice verification document, follow these steps:
  
  
  Use Program RWLF2021 for Cancellation:
  
  Execute the program RWLF2021 to perform the cancellation.
  This program is specifically designed to handle cancellations of logistics invoice verification documents that have logs or special data.
  You can run the program via transaction SA38 or SE38:
  
  Enter program name: RWLF2021
  Provide the invoice document number and other required parameters.
  Execute the program to perform the cancellation.
  
  
  
  
  
  Check Authorization:
  
  Ensure you have the necessary authorizations to run program RWLF2021 and to cancel invoice verification documents.
  
  
  
  Verify Document Status:
  
  Confirm that the document is not blocked or already cleared.
  Check if the document is linked to other processes that might prevent cancellation.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes (if needed):
  
  Sometimes, SAP releases notes or patches related to this program or error.
  Check SAP Support Portal for any relevant notes.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Program RWLF2021 is a special cancellation program for logistics invoice verification documents with logs.
  Standard cancellation transactions like MIRO cancellation or MR8M may not work for these documents.
  This error is common in scenarios where invoice documents are created via logistics processes (e.g., purchase order invoice verification) and have detailed change logs.
  Always ensure proper backup and testing in a non-production environment before running cancellation programs.
  If unsure, consult your SAP FI/Logistics consultant or Basis team.
