  The SAP error message FKKINV698 indicates that there is an issue with reversing a billing document in the context of SAP's Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable (FI-CA) module. The message specifically states that the reversal of the billing document is not possible, and it suggests reversing the invoicing document instead.
  Cause:
  The error can occur due to several reasons, including:
  
  
  Billing Document Status: The billing document you are trying to reverse may be in a status that does not allow for reversal. For example, if the document has already been cleared or if it is linked to a subsequent document that prevents reversal.
