  Verify the Reversal: Check the document number mentioned in the message to ensure that the reversal was intended. You can do this by reviewing the document in the relevant transaction (e.g., FB03 for displaying financial documents).
  Recreate the Document: If the reversal was not intended, you may need to recreate the original document. This can be done by using the appropriate transaction code (e.g., FB60 for invoices, FB50 for journal entries).
