  Solutions:
  
  Check Selection Criteria: Ensure that you have correctly specified the selection criteria for the reversal. Verify that the document number, company code, and other relevant fields are filled in correctly.
  Verify Data Availability: Check if the document you are trying to reverse actually exists in the system. You can do this by searching for the document in the relevant transaction (e.g., FB03 for displaying documents).
  Review Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform the reversal. You may need to consult with your SAP security team to verify your access rights.
  Consult Configuration Settings: If you suspect a configuration issue, consult with your SAP Basis or Finance team to review the settings related to GL reversals.
  Use Alternative Methods: If the standard reversal process is not working, consider using alternative methods to reverse the transaction, such as creating a manual journal entry to offset the original transaction.
  
  Related Information:
