  Certainly! Here's detailed information about the SAP error message WG130: "You can only change or reverse items":
  
  Error Message: WG130 - "You can only change or reverse items"
  
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs in the SAP Warehouse Management (WM) or Inventory Management (IM) modules when you attempt to perform an operation on a document or item that is not allowed. Specifically, the system restricts changes or reversals only to individual items within a document, not to the entire document or header level.
  Common scenarios include:
  
  Trying to change or reverse a warehouse task or material document at the header level instead of at the item level.
  Attempting to modify a document that is already posted or finalized.
  Trying to perform an operation on a document type or status that does not allow changes or reversals except on items.
  
  
  Explanation:
  
  SAP enforces data integrity by restricting changes or reversals to the smallest unit of work (items) rather than entire documents.
  This ensures that only specific items can be corrected or reversed without affecting the entire document or other unrelated items.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Level of Change:
  
  Ensure you are trying to change or reverse at the item level, not at the document header level.
  Use transaction codes or screens that allow item-level processing.
  
  
  
  Use Correct Transaction:
  
  For reversing material documents, use MBST (Cancel Material Document) which works at the item level.
  For warehouse tasks, use the appropriate WM transactions that allow item-level changes or reversals.
  
  
  
  Check Document Status:
  
  Verify if the document or item is already processed or posted.
  Some documents/items cannot be changed or reversed once fully processed.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization:
  
  Ensure you have the necessary authorizations to perform changes or reversals on items.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Sometimes, specific SAP Notes address this error in the context of particular SAP versions or scenarios.
