• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDC_POSTING_001036 - Document was reversed ?

  The SAP error message FDC_POSTING_001036 indicates that a document has been reversed. This typically occurs in the context of financial accounting or controlling, where a document that was previously posted has been reversed, and any subsequent attempts to post or process related transactions are blocked due to this reversal.
  Cause:
  
  Document Reversal: The primary cause of this error is that the document you are trying to post or process has already been reversed. This could happen due to a manual reversal by a user or an automated process that reversed the document.
  Incorrect Document Flow: If there are dependencies on the document (like subsequent postings), reversing it can lead to inconsistencies in the document flow.
  Posting Period Issues: Sometimes, the reversal might be related to issues with the posting period being closed or not allowing further postings.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Document Status: Verify the status of the document in question. You can do this by using transaction codes like FB03 (Display Document) to see if the document has indeed been reversed.
  Review Reversal Document: If the document has been reversed, check the reversal document to understand the reason for the reversal and whether any corrective actions are needed.
  Repost if Necessary: If the reversal was made in error and the document needs to be reposted, you may need to reverse the reversal (if allowed) and then repost the original document.
  Consult with Finance Team: If you are unsure about the implications of reversing a document or reposting it, consult with your finance or accounting team to ensure compliance with internal controls and accounting standards.
  Check Posting Period: Ensure that the posting period is open for the transactions you are trying to process. If the period is closed, you may need to open it or post in a different period.
