  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error message is that the system has detected that a reversal operation has already been executed for the document or transaction you are trying to reverse again. This can happen if:

  Use Alternative Methods: If the document cannot be reversed again, consider whether you need to make a different type of adjustment (e.g., a correction entry) instead of a reversal.
  
  
  Check Configuration: In some cases, the system configuration may restrict multiple reversals. Consult with your SAP administrator or support team to understand the configuration settings.
