3569650 - Error "Journal entry * does not exist" occurs during reversal

Symptom

The error message states "Journal entry * does not exist" when trying to reverse journal entry in app Manage Journal Entries.

Environment

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Open the Manage Journal Entries app.
  2. Locate and open the journal that needs to be reversed.

Cause

The issue arises due to a combination check of ledger and company code when reading a reversal document view. If the ledger from the header level for reversal document is initial, while for corresponding user there is restriction set for ledger with value for example 0L, then there is no authorization to display the reversal document.

Resolution

In the restriction of business role assigned to relevant user, change the ledger restriction from 0L to *(Unrestricted), this can be configured in app Maintain Business Users.
