• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FI_E165 - System error: No lines found in table BSEG for reversal ?

  The SAP error message FI_E165: System error: No lines found in table BSEG for reversal typically occurs when you attempt to reverse a financial document, but the system cannot find the corresponding line items in the BSEG table (which stores line item data for accounting documents). This can happen for several reasons:
  Causes:
  
  Document Not Found: The document you are trying to reverse may not exist in the BSEG table, possibly due to deletion or incorrect document number.
  Document Already Reversed: The document may have already been reversed, and thus there are no line items available for reversal.
  Data Consistency Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the database, such as missing entries or corruption in the BSEG table.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or reverse the document.
  Incorrect Document Type: The document type may not be set up for reversal in the system configuration.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Document Existence: Verify that the document number you are trying to reverse exists in the system. You can do this by checking the document in transaction codes like FB03 (Display Document).
  Check for Previous Reversals: Ensure that the document has not already been reversed. If it has, you may need to look for the reversal document instead.
  Review Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform the reversal. Check the user roles and permissions.
  Database Consistency Check: If you suspect data corruption, you may need to run consistency checks or consult with your SAP Basis team to investigate the database.
  Consult Configuration: Check the configuration settings for the document type in the Financial Accounting (FI) module to ensure that it is set up correctly for reversals.
  Use Alternative Transactions: If the reversal cannot be performed through the standard transaction, consider using alternative methods or consulting with your SAP support team for further assistance.
