• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message T1163 - Activity reversed! Can only be displayed ?

  The SAP error message T1163, which states "Activity reversed! Can only be displayed," typically occurs in the context of financial transactions, particularly when dealing with activity allocations or cost center accounting. This message indicates that the activity you are trying to access has been reversed, and as a result, it can only be viewed and not modified or processed further.
  Cause:
  
  Reversal of Activity: The primary cause of this error is that the activity you are trying to work with has been reversed in the system. This could happen due to a manual reversal process or an automated process that has been set up in the system.
  Status of the Document: The document related to the activity may have been set to a status that prevents further processing, such as being marked as reversed or completed.
  Authorization Issues: In some cases, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to perform actions on reversed activities.
  
  Solution:
  
  View the Reversed Activity: Since the message indicates that the activity can only be displayed, you should check the details of the reversed activity. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction or report where the activity is recorded.
  Check Document Flow: Review the document flow to understand why the activity was reversed. This may provide insights into whether it was a manual action or part of a larger process.
  Consult with Finance Team: If you need to take further action (like redoing the activity), consult with your finance or controlling team to understand the implications of reversing the activity and whether it can be re-entered.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to access and modify activities in the system. If not, contact your SAP security team to request the appropriate access.
