SAP Sales and Distribution Certification Practice Exam

Which statements regarding the cancellation of billing documents are correct?

1. A posting is made in Financial Accounting during cancellation, but the invoice is not cancelled

2. Corresponding posting is executed in Financial Accounting upon saving cancellation

3. Changed pricing conditions are possible during the cancellation document creation

4. Only cleared line items in Financial Accounting can be cancelled

The correct answer is: Corresponding posting is executed in Financial Accounting upon saving cancellation

When cancelling billing documents in the context of SAP Sales and Distribution, the correct understanding is that the corresponding posting is executed in Financial Accounting upon saving the cancellation. This means that, as part of the cancellation process, any financial entries related to the original billing document are reversed or adjusted in the financial accounting system, ensuring that the financial records remain accurate and reflect the cancelled transaction. This is an essential aspect of maintaining integrity in the financial ledgers, as it ensures that all billing events are fully accounted for. This option emphasizes the link between sales documents and financial postings, highlighting the integrated nature of SAP’s modules where actions in the Sales and Distribution module directly affect records in Financial Accounting. Therefore, anytime a billing document is cancelled, there is a process that not only marks the billing document as cancelled but also ensures that this action is accurately reflected in the financial accounts. In contrast, other statements may give misleading implications about the cancellation process. For example, saying that a posting is made but the invoice is not cancelled suggests a scenario where the financial implications occur without a corresponding cancellation of the document, which does not accurately reflect the standard process. Additionally, while changes to pricing conditions during cancellation might seem plausible, the system typically does not allow for modifications to pricing when processing
