How to Reverse a Document in SAP T Code - FB08

Reverse Document

Trigger:    An incorrect document has been entered into the system.  This BPP describes the procedures to process a reversing document entry.

Business Process Description Overview:

If you have entered an incorrect document, you can reverse it. Note that R/3 can reverse a document only if the following conditions are met:

  • Contains no cleared items 
  • Contains only vendor, customer, or G/L line items 
  • Was posted within the FI system 
  • Contains only valid values, such as business areas, cost centers, and tax codes 
Ordinarily, you post a reversing document in the same period you posted the original document. The period of the original document must be open to post a reversing document. If the period is not open, you can overwrite the posting date field with a date in an open period, such as the current period.
