Invoice document & cannot be processed further

Message type: E = Error

Message class: M8 - Invoice Verification/Valuation

Message number: 422

Message text: Invoice document & cannot be processed further



What causes this issue?

The invoice document &V1& contains the purchasing document &V2&, and the
item &V3&. You cannot enter the invoice for this item, or you cannot
cancel this invoice document. There can be several possible causes, for
example:
- the PO item is blocked
- the PO item is flagged for deletion
- another colleague is currently processing the purchase order
- the purchase order has not yet been released
- the corresponding service entry sheet has been deleted
- for a held invoice against planned delivery costs: the supplier in the
held invoice is not the same as the supplier in the condition in the
purchase order, or the same as the supplier from the purchase order
history entries. This is due to the fact that the supplier in the
condition in the purchase order has been changed in the meantime. In
this case, the held document cannot be processed further. You can use
report Z_MRM_DELETE_PP from note 501905 to delete the document.
