  Review Configuration: If you believe that the cancellation should be allowed, review the configuration settings in the SAP system related to payment processing and cancellation. This may require assistance from an SAP consultant or system administrator.
  Documentation: Ensure that all necessary documentation is in place for any reversal or correction actions taken, as this may be required for audit purposes.
