  Cause:
  
  Uncleared Items: The primary reason for this error is that there are transactions (such as payments or receipts) linked to the bank statement that have not been cleared. This means that the system cannot reverse the bank statement until all related items are cleared.
  Incomplete Reconciliation: If the bank statement has not been fully reconciled, it may prevent the reversal of the statement.

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify Uncleared Items:
  
  Use transaction codes like FBL1N (Vendor Line Item Display) or FBL3N (G/L Account Line Item Display) to check for any uncleared items related to the bank statement.
  Review the bank statement in the FF67 transaction or through the bank statement processing transaction.
  
  
  
  Clear Items:
  
  Clear the uncleared items associated with the bank statement. This can be done by processing the relevant transactions (e.g., payments, receipts) and ensuring they are matched and cleared against the bank statement.
  Use transaction F-32 (Clear Customer) or F-44 (Clear Vendor) as appropriate to clear the items.
  
  
  
  Reconcile the Bank Statement:
  
  Ensure that the bank statement is fully reconciled. This may involve checking for any discrepancies and ensuring that all transactions are accounted for.
  
  
  
  Attempt Reversal Again:
  
  Once all items are cleared and the bank statement is reconciled, attempt to reverse the bank statement again using the appropriate transaction (e.g., FF70 for reversing bank statements).
