• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FMKU004 - Document &1 in year &2 and FM area &3 is reversed or a reversal ?

  The SAP error message FMKU004 indicates that a document in the Financial Management (FM) module is either reversed or is a reversal itself. This error typically arises when there is an attempt to process a document that has already been reversed, or when a reversal is being attempted on a document that is not eligible for reversal.

  Document Reversal: The document you are trying to process has already been reversed. In FM, once a document is reversed, it cannot be processed again in the same way.

  Solution:
  
  Check Document Status: Verify the status of the document in question. You can do this by using transaction codes like FMAVCR01 (for checking commitment documents) or FMAVCR02 (for checking actual documents).
  Review Reversal History: If the document has been reversed, check the reversal history to understand the context and ensure that the reversal was intended.
  Correct Posting: If you need to make adjustments, consider creating a new document instead of trying to reverse an already reversed document.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for specific guidelines on handling FM documents and reversals.
  Fiscal Year Check: Ensure that you are working within the correct fiscal year and that the document is not in a closed period.
