WS519 - Details

• Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation of the SAP error message WS519: "Documents with different material periods cannot be reversed together":
  
  Error Message:
  WS519 - Documents with different material periods cannot be reversed together
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to reverse (cancel) multiple material documents in a single reversal transaction, but these documents belong to different material periods.
  
  In SAP Materials Management (MM) and Inventory Management (IM), material documents are posted in specific material periods (periods defined for inventory valuation and material ledger).
  The system enforces that all documents reversed together must belong to the same material period because reversal postings are period-sensitive.
  If you select documents from different material periods for reversal in one go, the system throws this error to prevent inconsistent postings.
  
  
  Explanation:
  
  Material periods are used to control inventory valuation and ensure postings are consistent within a defined time frame.
  Reversing documents across different periods in one transaction could lead to incorrect inventory valuation or
