• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message >R028 - No reversal, even though transaction is relevant for FI-CA ?

  The SAP error message R028: No reversal, even though transaction is relevant for FI-CA typically occurs in the context of Financial Accounting - Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable (FI-CA) when attempting to reverse a transaction that is not eligible for reversal. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Transaction Type: The transaction you are trying to reverse may not be configured to allow reversals. Certain transaction types in FI-CA are not designed to be reversed.
  Status of the Transaction: The transaction may already be in a status that does not permit reversal, such as being cleared or settled.
  Configuration Settings: The system configuration may not allow reversals for specific transaction types or under certain conditions.
  Document Type Restrictions: The document type associated with the transaction may have restrictions that prevent reversal.
  Posting Period: The posting period may be closed, preventing any changes to transactions within that period.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Transaction Type: Verify if the transaction type you are trying to reverse is configured to allow reversals. You can do this by checking the configuration in the FI-CA settings.
  Review Transaction Status: Ensure that the transaction is in a status that allows for reversal. If it has been cleared or settled, you may need to take additional steps to reverse those actions first.
  Configuration Review: Consult with your SAP FI-CA configuration team to review the settings for the transaction type and document type to ensure they allow for reversals.
  Posting Period: Check if the posting period is open. If it is closed, you may need to open it or use a different period for the reversal.
  Alternative Solutions: If reversal is not possible, consider alternative methods such as creating a correcting entry or adjusting the account manually.

  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as FPL9 (for displaying contract accounts) and FPL1 (for posting in FI-CA) to navigate through the system effectively.
  User Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform reversals in the system.
  
  If the issue persists after checking these aspects, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP support team or a functional consultant who specializes in FI-CA for further assistance.
