  The SAP error message GL226 ("Rollup already executed, can be reversed") typically occurs in the context of the General Ledger (GL) accounting module when attempting to perform a rollup operation that has already been executed for a specific period. This error indicates that the rollup process, which aggregates data from lower-level accounts to higher-level accounts, has already been completed for the specified period, and therefore cannot be executed again without reversing the previous rollup.

  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's internal guidelines for the specific steps to reverse a rollup.
  Contact Support: If you are unsure about how to proceed or if the issue persists, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert.
