  SAP Error Message:
  WS575 Document &1 cannot be reversed; error in reversal document &2 in FI
  
  Meaning / Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to reverse a financial document (document number &1), but the system encounters an error related to the reversal document (&2) that was created or attempted during the reversal process.
  In other words:  
  
  You initiated a reversal for document &1.  
  SAP tried to create a reversal document &2.  
  However, an error occurred with the reversal document &2, causing the reversal process to fail.
  
  Common causes include:  
  
  The reversal document (&2) is incomplete or has inconsistencies.  
  The reversal document (&2) is blocked or has been deleted.  
  The reversal document (&2) is already reversed or posted incorrectly.  
  Custom validations or user-exits are preventing the reversal.  
  Document &1 or &2 is locked or has status issues (e.g., posted in a closed period).  
  Authorization issues preventing reversal or posting of the reversal document.  
  Technical issues such as database inconsistencies or update failures.
  
  
  Solution / How to Resolve:
  
  
  Check the reversal document (&2):  
  
  Go to transaction FB03 and display document &2.  
  Verify if the document exists, is complete, and not blocked.  
  Check the document status, posting period, and any error messages.
  
  
  
  Check document &1 status:  
  
  Ensure the original document &1 is not already reversed or locked.  
  Verify the posting period is open for reversal.
  
  
  
  Check for inconsistencies or errors:  
  
  Run transaction FBL3N or FBL1N to check line items and clearing status.  
  Use SM13 to check for update errors related to the reversal document.  
  Check application logs (transaction SLG1) for related error messages.
  
  
  
  Authorization check:  
  
  Ensure the user has the necessary authorization to reverse documents and post in the relevant company code and posting period.
  
  
  
  Reversal process:  
  
  If the reversal document &2 exists but is incorrect, you may need to reverse it first before retrying the reversal of document &1.  
  If the reversal document &2 does not exist or is incomplete, try to reverse document &1 again after correcting the issue.
  
  
  
  Technical checks:  
  
  Check for any custom user-exits or BAdIs that might interfere with reversal.  
  Check for database locks or inconsistencies.
