Message text: Quantity invoiced greater than goods receipt quantity (& &)



What causes this issue?

This message can appear for two reasons:
The quantity for which you are entering the invoice is greater than the
difference between the quantity delivered so far and the quantity
invoiced so far.
The invoice refers to a service item for which an invoice has already
been posted.
IF &[SWITCH]S4H_DOCU_ON_PREMISE& = 'X'.

ENDIF.


System Response

The system has determined that the product of <ZG>(invoice quantity -
quantity to be invoiced) * order price</> is greater than the tolerance
limit for quantity variances
IF &[SWITCH]S4H_DOCU_ON_PREMISE& = 'X'.
This tolerance limit is set in the Customizing system.
ENDIF.
In the case of order-based Invoice Verification, the system blocks the
invoice for payment at the time of posting with the blocking reason
"Quantity variance".


How to fix this error?

Check your entries and make any necessary corrections.

reason you can only post the invoice as a subsequent debit/credit. If
you want to do this, enter the appropriate subsequent debit/credit
indicator in the field <LS>Subseq. debit/credit</>.
ENDIF.
If you post the invoice despite the variance, the system carries out the
posting and the associated account movements. However, the document also
receives a blocking indicator, so that the system cannot pay it.
