Delivery note service entry sheet does not exist

Inbound invoice or MIRO processing references a service entry sheet that SAP cannot find.

Quick answer

Most likely cause
The service entry sheet number in the invoice/IDoc is incorrect.
Check first
The service entry sheet reference received in the invoice/IDoc.
First resolution step
Confirm the correct service entry sheet for the PO item.

Likely root causes

  1. The service entry sheet number in the invoice/IDoc is incorrect.
  2. The entry sheet exists in another system/client or is not yet accepted/available for invoicing.
  3. Interface mapping places a delivery-note reference where a service-entry-sheet reference is expected.

What to inspect

  1. The service entry sheet reference received in the invoice/IDoc.
  2. ML81N or the relevant service-entry display to confirm the document exists and status is valid.
  3. PO history for the service PO item.
  4. Inbound mapping for delivery-note/service-entry references.

Resolution path

  1. Confirm the correct service entry sheet for the PO item.
  2. Correct the source reference or complete the required service acceptance step.
  3. Validate PO history before reprocessing the invoice.
  4. Reprocess the IDoc or invoice with the corrected reference.
