  The SAP error message FIBL_RPCODE118 indicates that you are trying to reverse a payment request that cannot be processed with the current program or transaction. This error typically arises in the context of financial transactions, particularly when dealing with payment requests or payment processing in SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Transaction: The transaction you are using may not be designed to reverse payment requests. For example, you might be using a transaction meant for other types of financial postings.
  Payment Request Status: The payment request you are trying to reverse may be in a status that does not allow for reversal. For instance, if the payment request has already been processed or cleared, it may not be eligible for reversal.
  Authorization Issues: You may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the reversal of the payment request.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the SAP system that restrict the reversal of certain types of payment requests.
  
  Solution:
  
  Use the Correct Transaction: Ensure that you are using the appropriate transaction code for reversing payment requests. Typically, you would use transaction codes like F110 for payment processing or F-28 for clearing.
  Check Payment Request Status: Verify the status of the payment request you are trying to reverse. If it has already been processed, you may need to follow a different procedure to handle it.
  Review Authorizations: Check your user authorizations to ensure you have the necessary permissions to reverse payment requests. If not, contact your SAP security administrator.
  Consult Configuration: If you suspect that configuration settings are causing the issue, consult with your SAP functional consultant or system administrator to review the settings related to payment processing and reversals.
  Use Alternative Methods: If the payment request cannot be reversed directly, consider alternative methods such as creating a new transaction to offset the original payment.
