What causes this issue?

You want to reverse an item. However, reversing the item is not possible
for one of the following reasons:
The item is already valid and can therefore already have been used in
processes.
The item does not have a previous item, but it does have
<DS:TX.FICA_INFO_FKKVTHIER>subordinate items</>. If you reverse the
item, the subordinate items are no longer anchored in the hierarchy.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

Depending on which of the reasons apply, proceed as follows:
RESET N1
End the item early instead of reversing it.
Make sure that there are no subordinate items for item &V1&. Then
reverse item &V1&.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FKKVT012 - Reversal of item &1 is not possible ?

  The SAP error message FKKVT012 indicates that a reversal of a specific item (denoted by &1) is not possible. This error typically occurs in the context of contract accounts receivable and payable (FI-CA) when attempting to reverse a transaction that cannot be reversed due to certain conditions.
  Causes of the Error
  
  
  Transaction Status: The item you are trying to reverse may be in a status that does not allow for reversal. For example, if the item has already been cleared or if it is part of a closed period.
  
  
  Document Type Restrictions: Certain document types may have restrictions on reversals. If the item belongs to a document type that does not allow reversals, this error will occur.
  
  
  Posting Period: If the posting period for the item is closed, you will not be able to reverse it. SAP typically restricts changes to closed periods to maintain data integrity.
  
  
  Dependencies on Other Transactions: The item may be linked to other transactions that prevent it from being reversed. For example, if it is part of a payment or has been cleared against another item.
  
  
  Configuration Settings: There may be specific configuration settings in the system that restrict reversals for certain types of transactions or accounts.
  
  
  Solutions
  
  
  Check Item Status: Review the status of the item you are trying to reverse. If it is cleared or in a closed status, you may need to take additional steps to address this.
  
  
  Open Posting Period: Ensure that the posting period for the transaction is open. If it is closed, you may need to open the period temporarily (if allowed by your organization's policies) to perform the reversal.
  
  
  Review Document Type: Check the document type associated with the item. If it is not allowed for reversal, you may need to consult with your SAP administrator or finance team to determine the appropriate course of action.
  
  
  Check Dependencies: Investigate if the item is linked to other transactions. If it is, you may need to reverse those transactions first before you can reverse the item in question.
  
  
  Consult Configuration: If you suspect that configuration settings are causing the issue, consult with your SAP configuration team to review the settings related to reversals in your FI-CA module.
  
  
  Use Alternative Methods: If reversal is not possible, consider alternative methods such as creating a correcting entry or adjusting the account balance through other means.
