MIRO reference document

Referenced invoice document does not exist

Credit memo, subsequent adjustment or invoice reversal cannot proceed because the referenced invoice document cannot be found in the expected company code/fiscal year.

Likely root causes

  1. Wrong invoice document number, fiscal year or company code was entered.
  2. The reference points to an FI document rather than an MM invoice document or vice versa.
  3. The source interface mapped the wrong reference identifier.

What to inspect

  1. Reference document number, fiscal year and company code.
  2. MIR4/MIR5 for MM invoice documents and FB03 for FI documents.
  3. Inbound payload/reference mapping.

Resolution path

  1. Identify the correct source invoice in the proper application.
  2. Correct the reference fields or interface mapping.
  3. Do not create a replacement document just to satisfy a broken reference.
  4. Retry the credit/reversal after document linkage is validated.
