  SAP Error Message:
  WS828 Document &1 has posting partner '&2', no one-sided cancellation possible
  
  Meaning / 
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to perform a one-sided cancellation (i.e., cancel only one side of a document, typically the vendor or customer side) for a document that has a posting partner assigned.
  
  Posting partner is a field used in FI documents to indicate the business partner on the other side of the transaction (e.g., the customer for a vendor invoice or vice versa).
  When a document has a posting partner, SAP expects the cancellation to be two-sided (i.e., both sides of the document must be reversed together).
  One-sided cancellation is not allowed because it would lead to inconsistent or incomplete reversal of the document, potentially causing reconciliation or reporting issues.
