  Key Concepts: 
  Reversal transactions are a type of transaction in SAP that reverses the effects of a previous transaction. This is done by creating a new transaction that is the exact opposite of the original transaction. For example, if a customer returns an item, the reversal transaction would be to credit the customer’s account for the amount of the item. 
  
  How to use it: 
  Reversal transactions are used in SAP to undo the effects of a previous transaction. To create a reversal transaction, you must first identify the original transaction and then create a new transaction that is the exact opposite of it. For example, if you need to reverse a customer’s purchase, you would create a new transaction that credits their account for the amount of the purchase. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating reversal transactions in SAP, it is important to make sure that all of the details of the original transaction are included in the new reversal transaction. This will ensure that all of the effects of the original transaction are reversed correctly. Additionally, it is important to make sure that all reversal transactions are properly documented so that they can be easily tracked and referenced in the future.
