  Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:
  
  SAP Error Message:
  WS824 Partial reversal for posting status &1 not allowed (doc. must be in FI)
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you attempt to perform a partial reversal of a document that is not posted in the Financial Accounting (FI) module. The system expects the document to be an FI document to allow partial reversal, but the document you are trying to reverse is either:
  
  Not an FI document (e.g., a document from Controlling (CO), Materials Management (MM), or other modules), or  
  The document's posting status does not permit partial reversal (e.g., it might be a parked document, or a document with a status that restricts reversal).
  
  In SAP, partial reversals are only allowed for documents that are fully posted in FI, because FI documents have the necessary accounting entries and status to support partial reversal.
