  The error message suggests that the order confirmation you are trying to send has a document category that is not supported for transmission to the specified target (in this case, "AN"). This could be due to several reasons:
  
  Document Category Mismatch: The document category of the order confirmation does not match the expected categories that can be sent to the target system.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the SAP system or the middleware that restrict certain document categories from being sent.
  Data Integrity Issues: The order confirmation may have missing or incorrect data that prevents it from being processed correctly.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the ARBERP_MAP_SD252 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Document Category: Verify the document category of the order confirmation. Ensure that it is one that is allowed to be sent to the target system. You can do this by checking the configuration settings in the SAP system.
  
  
  Review Configuration:

  Ensure that the document categories that you want to send are correctly mapped and allowed in the configuration.
  
  
  
  Data Validation: 
  
  Check the order confirmation data for any inconsistencies or missing information that might be causing the error.
  Ensure that all required fields are populated and that the data adheres to the expected formats.
