What causes this issue?

The payment for check &V3& was cancelled. As a result, payment document
&V1& &V2& was reversed and check &V3& was marked as invalid. When
trying to reset the void reason code, the system determined that the
payment document is still reversed.

System Response

The check cannot yet be edited and is not selected.

How to fix this error?

Before resetting the void reason code, you must cancel the reversal of
the payment document. To do this, you need to reset cleared items &V1&
&V4& (including reversal of the clearing document).
<DS:TRAN.FBRA>Proceed</>

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

You can then try to clear the old invoice documents again using payment
document &V1& &V2&. Since this information does not exist in the system
(and the old invoices could possibly be cleared using other payment
documents), this work must be carried out manually.
<DS:TRAN.F-44>Proceed</>
It is finally possible to reset the void reason code.
