  The SAP error message EDOCUMENT097 indicates that there is an issue with displaying an eDocument due to a problem in the implementation of a Business Add-In (BAdI). The message suggests that the specific method of the BAdI is not implemented correctly or is missing.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Implementation: The BAdI method that is supposed to handle the eDocument display is not implemented in the system.
  Incorrect Implementation: The existing implementation of the BAdI method may not be functioning as expected, leading to the inability to display the eDocument.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues related to the eDocument framework or the specific document type being processed.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the eDocument.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check BAdI Implementation:
  
  Go to transaction SE18 (BAdI Definition) and check the BAdI associated with the error message. The message will specify the BAdI name and method.
  Ensure that the BAdI is implemented correctly. If it is not implemented, you will need to create an implementation for it.
  
  
  
  Implement or Adjust the BAdI:
