  You can cancel a material document for a goods receipt in situations like when wrong quantity is entered, the Goods Receipt is entered against the wrong Purchase Order, the goods are damaged and you are waiting for a supplemental shipment, or the goods are in such poor condition you decide to return the item(s) and cancel the entire line item from the Purchase Order. You can cancel a single line item or an entire Goods Receipt.
