• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WP786 - Document & reversed by & ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WP786 - Document & reversed by &
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  The error message WP786 typically occurs in the context of document reversal in SAP Financial Accounting (FI) or related modules. The message indicates that the document you are trying to reverse has already been reversed by another document.
  
  The first placeholder (&) is the original document number.
  The second placeholder (&) is the document number that performed the reversal.
  
  In other words:
  
  You attempted to reverse a document that has already been reversed. SAP prevents multiple reversals of the same document to maintain data integrity.
  
  When does this happen?
  
  When you try to reverse a document that has already been reversed.
  When a reversal document exists for the original document.
  Possibly during posting or clearing transactions involving document reversal.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the reversal document:  
  
  Use transaction FB03 (Display Document) to view the original document.
  Check if a reversal document exists by looking at the document flow or reversal indicator.
  The message shows the reversal document number; check that document to confirm.
  
  
  
  Avoid multiple reversals:  
  
  Since the document is already reversed, you do not need to reverse it again.
  If you want to undo the reversal, you need to reverse the reversal document instead.
  
  
  
  If reversal is incorrect:  
  
  Reverse the reversal document (the second document number in the message).
  Then you can perform the reversal again if needed.
  
  
  
  Check document status:  
  
  Sometimes, the document might be partially reversed or in an inconsistent state.
  Use transaction FBRA (Reset Cleared Items) or F.80 (Reversal) carefully.
  
  
  
  Consult with FI team:  
  
  If unsure, consult your FI or SAP Basis team to check document status and system logs.
