  SAP Error Message:
  WZRE_PRX038 Invoice &1 has different amounts than original invoice &2
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This warning message occurs during invoice verification or invoice processing in SAP when the system detects that the amounts on the current invoice (&1) differ from the amounts on the original invoice (&2). This typically happens in scenarios such as:
  
  Credit Memo or Subsequent Debit: When posting a credit memo or a subsequent debit against an original invoice, the amounts do not match exactly.
  Invoice Reversal or Cancellation: When trying to reverse or cancel an invoice, but the amounts differ.
  Partial Invoice or Partial Payment: When the invoice being processed is a partial invoice or partial payment and the amounts differ from the original invoice.
  Price or Quantity Differences: Differences in price, quantity, or tax amounts between the current and original invoice.
  Exchange Rate Differences: Differences due to currency exchange rate fluctuations.
  Data Entry Errors: Manual entry errors or incorrect reference to the original invoice.
  
  
  When does it occur?
  
  During MIRO (Invoice Verification) or FB60/FB70 (Invoice Posting) transactions.
  When referencing an original invoice number in a subsequent document.
  During credit memo or debit memo processing.
  When the system checks for consistency between the original and subsequent invoice documents.
  
  
  Solution / How to Resolve:
  
  
  Check Invoice Amounts:
  
  Verify the amounts on the current invoice and compare them with the original invoice.
  Ensure that the amounts, taxes, and currency are consistent or correctly adjusted.
  
  
  
  Check Reference Invoice Number:
  
  Confirm that the invoice number referenced (&2) is correct and corresponds to the original invoice.
  If the reference is wrong, correct it.
  
  
  
  Adjust Invoice Amounts:
  
  If the difference is legitimate (e.g., partial invoice, price difference), ensure that the system settings allow such differences.
  You may need to adjust tolerance limits for invoice verification in OMR6 (Tolerance Limits for Invoice Verification).
  
  
  
  Review Exchange Rates:
  
  If currency differences exist, check exchange rates and ensure they are correctly maintained.
  
  
  
  Use Correct Transaction:
  
  For credit memos or debit memos, use the appropriate transaction and reference the original invoice properly.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Review the configuration for invoice verification and tolerance limits.
  Check if the system is set to allow differences or if it should block them.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Search for relevant SAP Notes for this message or related issues.
