  The SAP error message MPN04012 indicates that the reversal quantity for a Goods Issue (GI) item has been exceeded. This typically occurs during the reversal of a goods movement, where the system checks if the quantity being reversed is within the allowable limits based on the original goods issue.
  Cause:
  
  Exceeding Reversal Quantity: The quantity you are trying to reverse exceeds the quantity that was originally issued. For example, if you issued 10 units and are trying to reverse 12 units, this error will occur.
  Incorrect Document Reference: The document you are trying to reverse may not correspond to the correct goods issue document.
  Stock Management Issues: There may be issues with stock levels or the status of the stock (e.g., if the stock has already been consumed or moved).
  System Configuration: There may be configuration settings in the system that limit the reversal quantities.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Original Goods Issue: Verify the original goods issue document to confirm the quantity that was issued. Ensure that the quantity you are trying to reverse does not exceed this amount.
  Adjust Reversal Quantity: If you are trying to reverse too much, adjust the reversal quantity to be equal to or less than the original issued quantity.
  Review Document Flow: Ensure that you are referencing the correct document for reversal. Check the document flow to confirm that the goods issue is still valid for reversal.
  Check Stock Status: Make sure that the stock is still available for reversal. If the stock has been moved or consumed, you may need to take additional steps to correct the stock levels.
  Consult Configuration: If the issue persists, consult with your SAP configuration team to check if there are any specific settings that might be affecting the reversal process.
