  • What causes this issue?

    The existing industry-specific instance of event 0070 prevents the
    reversal of reversal documents for documents that were created using the
    <DS:REPO.REKKBOL0>REKKBOL0</> report to pay over Bollo postings.
    This type of reversal has to be prevented, as the DFKKBOL table (Bollo:
    Italy) can no longer be updated at this point. It can only be updated
    using the REKKBOL0 report (Bollo report, pay over Bollo charges)
    directly.

    System Response

    The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

    How to fix this error?

    If you want to post a document for paying over Bollo charges again, you
    have to execute the <DS:REPO.REKKBOL0>REKKBOL0</> report.
