Reversal quantity greater than quantity invoiced to date

A credit memo or invoice reversal in MIRO/MR8M fails because the quantity being reversed exceeds the quantity invoiced so far.

Likely root causes

  1. The reversal or credit memo quantity is larger than the posted invoice quantity.
  2. A previous reversal or credit memo has already reduced the invoiced quantity.
  3. The wrong PO item or reference invoice was selected.

What to inspect

  1. PO history for the exact PO item.
  2. Posted invoice and credit memo documents in MIR4.
  3. Quantity and reference document entered in the reversal/credit memo.

Resolution path

  1. Reconcile the PO history and identify the remaining reversible quantity.
  2. Correct the quantity or choose the correct reference document.
  3. If prior documents are incorrect, reverse them in the correct sequence according to accounting controls.
  4. Repost only after the PO history matches the intended business event.
