You want to reverse document &V1&. However, the CO follow-on document
&V3& in controlling area &V2& cannot be reversed due to: <ZH>&V4&.</>
It may not be possible to reverse the CO follow-on document because:
<ZH>1.</> The CO document is not complete, perhaps because line items
have already been archived or deleted.
<ZH>2.</> The CO document is already marked as reversed
<ZH>3.</> If a reversal document is to be updated, then for all actual
line items (table COEP, value type 04), the fields for company code
(BUKRS), object class (SCOPE) and object currency (OWAER) must be
filled and this is not the case for document &V3&. This document may
have been created prior to R/3 Release 3.0.
<ZH>4.</> Line items for the CO document are missing from table COEP.
This may arise if the document relates to a unvaluated goods movement

item was written in table COEPL. A true reversal of these CO documents
cannot be carried out.
<ZH>5.</> Errors arose when checking the master data of the CO objects
contained in the document.
