Message type: E = Error
Message class: EK - IS-U Accounts Receivable and Payable
Message number: 503
Message text: You cannot reverse documents with origin &1
The existing industry-specific instance of event 0070 prevents the
reversal of reversal documents for documents that were created using the
<DS:REPO.REKKBOL0>REKKBOL0</> report to pay over Bollo postings.
This type of reversal has to be prevented, as the DFKKBOL table (Bollo:
Italy) can no longer be updated at this point. It can only be updated
using the REKKBOL0 report (Bollo report, pay over Bollo charges)
directly.
The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
If you want to post a document for paying over Bollo charges again, you
have to execute the <DS:REPO.REKKBOL0>REKKBOL0</> report.

The SAP error message EK503, which states "You cannot reverse documents with origin &1," typically occurs when you attempt to reverse a document that is not eligible for reversal due to its origin or status. The "origin" refers to the source of the document, such as whether it is a purchase order, invoice, or another type of document.
Causes:
- Document Type Restrictions: Certain document types may not allow reversals. For example, some financial documents or documents related to specific processes may have restrictions.
- Status of the Document: The document may already be in a status that does not permit reversal, such as being fully settled or archived.
- Origin of the Document: The document may originate from a process that does not support reversal, such as certain types of intercompany transactions or documents created through specific transactions.
- Configuration Settings: The system configuration may restrict reversals for certain document types or origins.
Solutions:
- Check Document Type: Verify the type of document you are trying to reverse. Consult the documentation or your SAP configuration to see if the document type allows for reversal.
- Review Document Status: Check the status of the document. If it has already been settled or processed in a way that prevents reversal, you may need to take alternative actions, such as creating a correcting entry.
- Consult SAP Notes: Look for relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide guidance on handling document reversals for the specific origin.
- Use Alternative Transactions: If reversal is not possible, consider using alternative transactions to correct the issue, such as creating a credit memo or adjusting entries.
- Contact SAP Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance, especially if this is a recurring problem or if you suspect a configuration issue.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages
(message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.
An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
