- Document &1 of period &2 inverts document &3 of period &4 ?The SAP error message UCF8038 typically indicates an issue related to document inversion in the context of financial accounting or controlling. This error occurs when there is a mismatch or inconsistency in the accounting documents for a specific period. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:

This can happen if the original document has been changed or deleted after the inversion was attempted.
