  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the SAP system that dictate how certain document types are treated, leading to this error when trying to send or process them.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Document Type: Verify the document type of the source document. If it is indeed a statistical document, you may need to use a different document type that allows for sending.
  Change Document Status: If appropriate, change the status of the document to a non-statistical type if it is meant to be processed further.
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings in the SAP system related to document types and ensure that they are set up correctly to allow for the intended processing.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on handling statistical documents and the implications of their use.
