  The SAP error message REXAFC002 indicates that a document can only be reversed with a corresponding RE (Reversal) transaction. This error typically occurs in the context of financial accounting or asset accounting when attempting to reverse a document that does not have a valid reversal transaction associated with it.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Document Type: The document you are trying to reverse may not be of a type that allows for reversal. For example, certain types of transactions may not be reversible.
  Missing Corresponding RE Transaction: The original document may not have a corresponding reversal document created, or the reversal document may not be properly linked to the original document.
  Document Status: The document may be in a status that does not allow for reversal, such as being locked or already reversed.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the SAP system that restrict the reversal of certain document types.

  Check Document Type: Verify that the document you are trying to reverse is of a type that allows for reversal. You can check the document type in the document details.

  Consult Configuration: If you suspect that configuration settings are causing the issue, consult with your SAP configuration team to review the settings related to document reversals.
  Use the Correct Transaction: Make sure you are using the correct transaction code for the reversal. For example, if you are reversing an asset transaction, ensure you are using the appropriate asset accounting transaction.
