  The SAP error message FARR_ACCR_MAIN131 typically indicates that a reversal process has been initiated for an accrual document, but there are issues preventing the completion of that reversal. This error can occur in the context of financial accounting, particularly in the area of accrual accounting.
  Cause:
  The error message "Reversal started at &1" suggests that there is an ongoing reversal process that has not been completed. This could be due to several reasons, including:
  
  Incomplete Reversal Process: The reversal process may have been started but not finalized, possibly due to system issues or user interruptions.
  Locking Issues: The document may be locked by another process or user, preventing the reversal from being completed.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the system that are preventing the reversal from being processed correctly.
  Data Integrity Issues: There could be inconsistencies or errors in the data related to the accrual document that need to be resolved.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Status of the Reversal: Use transaction codes like FB03 (Display Document) or FBL1N (Vendor Line Item Display) to check the status of the accrual document and see if the reversal is still in process.
  
  
  Complete or Cancel the Reversal: If the reversal is incomplete, you may need to complete it or cancel it if it is no longer needed. This can often be done through the same transaction where the reversal was initiated.
  
  
  Check for Locks: Use transaction SM12 to check for any locks on the document. If you find any locks that are preventing the reversal, you may need to unlock them or wait for the other process to complete.
  
  
  Review Configuration Settings: Ensure that the configuration settings for accrual accounting are correct. This may involve checking settings in the Financial Accounting (FI) module.
  
  
  Consult Logs: Check the application logs (transaction SLG1) for any additional error messages or warnings that may provide more context about the issue.
