  SAP Error Message:
  WS892 - Item cancellation is not allowed for settlement document type &
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to cancel (reverse) an item in a settlement document, but the system does not allow cancellation for the specific settlement document type involved.
  
  Settlement documents in SAP are created during the settlement process (e.g., cost center settlement, internal order settlement).
  Certain settlement document types are configured in the system to not allow item cancellation once posted.
  Attempting to cancel an item in such a document triggers this error.
  
  
  Explanation:
  
  The placeholder "&" in the message will be replaced by the actual settlement document type (e.g., SA, SD, etc.).
  The system checks the configuration of the settlement document type in transaction OKO7 (or relevant IMG path).
  If the document type is set to disallow item cancellation, the system prevents reversal of individual line items.
  
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Settlement Document Type Configuration:
