  Error Message
  WZRE_IV349: Reversal impossible: undo clearing &1 first
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when you try to reverse a document (such as an invoice or payment) that has already been cleared with another document. In SAP, clearing means that two or more open items (e.g., an invoice and a payment) have been matched and offset against each other, marking them as settled.
  
  The system prevents reversal of a document that is part of a cleared pair because reversing it without first undoing the clearing would lead to inconsistencies in the accounting records.
  The placeholder &1 in the message typically contains the clearing document number or clearing information that must be undone first.
  
  
  Explanation
  
  When a document is cleared, SAP links it to the clearing document.
  To reverse the original document, you must first reverse or undo the clearing document.
  Only after the clearing is undone can the original document be reversed.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Identify the clearing document:
  
  Use the document number provided in the message (&1) or check the clearing status of the document in question.
  You can use transaction codes like:
  
  FB03 (Display Document) to view the document and check clearing info.
  FBL1N / FBL5N (Line Item Display for Vendor/Customer) to see clearing details.
  F-32 (Clear Customer) or F-44 (Clear Vendor) to check clearing documents.
  
  
  
  
  
  Undo the clearing:
  
  Reverse the clearing document using transaction FBRA (Reset Cleared Items).
  Enter the clearing document number and execute the reset.
  This will undo the clearing and reopen the original documents.
  
  
  
  Reverse the original document:
  
  After clearing is undone, you can now reverse the original document using the appropriate reversal transaction (e.g., FB08 for document reversal).
  
  
  
  Re-clear if necessary:
  
  After reversal and corrections, you may need to clear the documents again.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Notes
  
  Make sure you have the necessary authorizations to perform clearing resets and document reversals.
  Undoing clearing and reversing documents can affect financial reports and balances, so perform these actions carefully and preferably in consultation with your finance/accounting team.
  In some cases, if the clearing document is a payment, you may need to reverse the payment first.
  Always check for any open or related documents that might be affected.
