This typically occurs in the context of financial transactions, particularly in the area of treasury and risk management.
  Cause:
  
  Status of the Presentation Item: The primary cause of this error is that the presentation item you are trying to reverse is not in the 'Draft' status. It may be in a status such as 'Posted', 'Completed', or 'Finalized', which prevents reversal.

  Consult Documentation: Review the SAP documentation or help files related to the specific transaction type you are working with to understand the rules around status changes and reversals.
