  SAP Error Message: WP740
  Message Text:
  
  Receipt(s) reversed
  
  Cause
  The error message WP740 typically occurs in the context of warehouse management (WM) or inventory management (IM) processes in SAP, especially during goods movement or posting related to warehouse tasks.
  Main causes include:
  
  
  Receipt Reversal Already Performed:
  
  The system detects that the goods receipt (GR) document or the warehouse receipt has already been reversed. This means you are trying to reverse or process a receipt that has been previously reversed, which is not allowed.
  
  
  Inconsistent Document Status:
  
  The warehouse task or material document status indicates that the receipt is no longer valid or active because it has been reversed.
  
  
  Incorrect Process Flow:
  
  Attempting to perform a receipt reversal on a document that is not eligible for reversal due to system or business logic constraints.
  
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve the WP740 error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Document Status:  
  
  Verify the status of the goods receipt document or warehouse task in transaction codes like MB03 (Display Material Document) or LT21 (Display Transfer Order).  
  Confirm if the receipt has already been reversed.
  
  
  
  Avoid Duplicate Reversal:  
  
  If the receipt has already been reversed, do not attempt to reverse it again.  
  Instead, check if you need to post a new goods receipt or correct the document in another way.
  
  
  
  Correct Process Flow:  
  
  Ensure that the reversal process is being executed in the correct sequence and on the correct document.  
  For example, if you want to reverse a goods receipt, use MBST (Cancel Material Document) or the appropriate warehouse management transaction.
  
  
  
  Check for Open Warehouse Tasks:  
  
  Sometimes, open warehouse tasks related to the receipt can cause inconsistencies.  
  Complete or cancel any open warehouse tasks before attempting reversal.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:  
  
  Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to WP740 or receipt reversal processes.
