• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AH758 - Document &1 cannot be reversed for adjustment due to document &2 ?

  The SAP error message AH758 indicates that a document cannot be reversed for adjustment due to another document that is linked to it. This typically occurs in the context of financial accounting or asset accounting when trying to reverse a document that has dependencies or is affected by another document.
  Cause:
  
  
  Linked Documents: The document you are trying to reverse (Document &1) is linked to another document (Document &2) that prevents the reversal. This could be due to various reasons, such as:

  There are subsequent postings that depend on the document you are trying to reverse.
  The document is locked due to ongoing processes or approvals.

  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the system that restrict the reversal of certain types of documents.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Document Dependencies: Review the document flow to identify any linked documents. You can use transaction codes like FB03 (Display Document) to view the document and its related documents.
