  The SAP error message M8_2102, which states "Not a parked document; changes cannot be reversed," typically occurs when a user attempts to reverse or change a document that is not in a parked status. Parked documents in SAP are temporary documents that have been saved but not yet posted, allowing for further review or modification before final posting.
  Cause:
  
  Document Status: The document you are trying to reverse or change is not parked. It may have already been posted or is in a different status that does not allow for reversal.
  Incorrect Transaction: You might be using a transaction code that is intended for parked documents, but the document in question is not parked.
  User Permissions: The user may not have the necessary permissions to reverse or change the document.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Document Status: Verify the status of the document you are trying to reverse. If it is already posted, you will need to use the appropriate transaction to reverse a posted document (e.g., using transaction code FB08 for reversing posted documents).
  Use Correct Transaction: Ensure you are using the correct transaction code for the type of document you are working with. If you need to park a document, use the appropriate transaction (e.g., FBV1 for parking invoices).
  Review User Permissions: Check if you have the necessary authorizations to perform the reversal or change. If not, contact your SAP administrator to grant the required permissions.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling the type of document you are working with.
