  The SAP error message "63071 Document & already cleared. Reversal not possible" typically occurs when you attempt to reverse a financial document that has already been cleared in the system. This means that the document has been settled against another document, and as a result, it cannot be reversed directly.

  Cleared Document: The document you are trying to reverse has already been cleared, meaning it has been settled against another document (like a payment or invoice).
