  The SAP error message EP514 indicates that there is an issue with reversing a document using the standard reversal transaction (FNB3) in the SAP system. This error typically arises when the system expects a different method or transaction to be used for reversing a specific type of document.
  
  Cause:
  
  Document Type: The document you are trying to reverse may not be compatible with the FNB3 transaction. Certain document types may require specific reversal methods.
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the SAP system that dictate how reversals should be handled for certain document types.
  System Version: The error may also occur if you are using an outdated version of the SAP system that does not support the reversal method you are trying to use.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  Use the Correct Transaction: Instead of using FNB3, check if there is a different transaction code that is appropriate for reversing the specific document type you are dealing with.
