WSPT026 - Details

• SAP Error Message:
  WSPT026 - Cancellation of document only possible for Approved document
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when you attempt to cancel or reverse a document that has not yet been approved in the SAP workflow or approval process. The system enforces that only documents with an approved status can be canceled to maintain data integrity and process compliance.
  In other words, the document you are trying to cancel is still in a status such as "In Process," "Pending Approval," or "Rejected," and the system does not allow cancellation until it reaches the "Approved" status.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Many SAP modules (e.g., SAP Workflow, SAP Travel Management, SAP Invoice Management) use approval processes.
  Documents (e.g., travel requests, invoices, purchase orders) must be approved before certain actions like cancellation or reversal are permitted.
  This message ensures that only documents that have passed the approval stage can be canceled, preventing inconsistent or unauthorized changes.
  
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Document Status:
  
  Verify the current status of the document.
