• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KP087 - Reversal is only possible without batch processing, test run and lists ?

  The SAP error message KP087 indicates that a reversal operation cannot be performed because the system is currently set to process batches, is in a test run mode, or is attempting to generate lists. This error typically occurs in the context of controlling (CO) and can arise during various transactions related to cost center accounting, internal orders, or other CO-related activities.
  Cause:
  
  Batch Processing: The system is configured to process data in batches, which may not allow for certain operations like reversals.
  Test Run Mode: The transaction is being executed in a test run mode, which is intended for simulation purposes and does not allow for actual changes to be made in the system.
  List Generation: The operation is trying to generate a list (e.g., a report or output) that conflicts with the reversal process.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the KP087 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Batch Processing:
  
  Ensure that you are not in batch processing mode. If you are, switch to single document processing.
  If you need to perform a reversal, make sure to do it in a mode that allows for it.
  
  
  
  Exit Test Run Mode:
  
  If you are running the transaction in test mode, switch to the actual execution mode. This can usually be done by changing the settings in the transaction screen or by selecting the appropriate option in the menu.
  
  
  
  Avoid List Generation:
  
  If the operation is trying to generate a list, ensure that you are not attempting to do so while performing the reversal. You may need to complete the reversal first before generating any reports or lists.
  
  
  
  Review Transaction Settings:
  
  Check the settings of the transaction you are using to ensure that it is configured correctly for the operation you are trying to perform.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on the transaction you are using, as there may be additional settings or configurations that need to be adjusted.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with the transaction codes related to the operations you are performing (e.g., KP06 for cost center planning, KO88 for order settlement).
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  User Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to perform reversals in the system, as restrictions may also lead to errors.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in SAP CO for further assistance.
