  SAP Error Message:
  WS_INTRASTAT042: Cancellation is not possible; original document & not transferred to GTS
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you try to cancel or reverse an Intrastat declaration document in SAP, but the system prevents the cancellation because:
  
  The original Intrastat document has not yet been transferred to SAP Global Trade Services (GTS).
  Since the document is not transferred to GTS, the cancellation process cannot proceed as expected.
  The system requires that the original document must be successfully transferred to GTS before any cancellation or reversal can be done.
  
  
  Explanation:
  
  SAP Intrastat is used for statistical reporting of goods movements within the EU.
  SAP GTS handles customs and trade compliance processes.
  When Intrastat data is integrated with GTS, documents are transferred from SAP ERP to GTS.
  Cancellation or reversal of Intrastat documents is only allowed if the original document has been transferred to GTS, ensuring consistency between systems.
  If the original document is not transferred, the system blocks cancellation to avoid
