• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BKN002 - No authorization for row &1: The reversal is not possible ?

  The SAP error message BKN002 ("No authorization for row &1: The reversal is not possible") typically occurs in the context of financial transactions, particularly when dealing with bank accounting or payment processing. This error indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorization to perform a reversal for a specific transaction or row in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user attempting to perform the reversal does not have the required authorization roles or permissions assigned in the SAP system.
  Transaction Status: The transaction may be in a status that does not allow for reversal (e.g., already reversed, completed, or locked).
  Configuration Settings: Certain configuration settings in the SAP system may restrict reversals based on specific criteria (e.g., company code, document type).
  Data Integrity: There may be issues with the data integrity of the transaction, preventing the reversal from being processed.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Verify the user's authorization roles in the SAP system. Ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to perform reversals in the relevant transaction codes (e.g., F110 for payment processing).
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check for missing authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Transaction Status:
