  Review Document Type Settings:
  
  Use transaction code OBD4 to check the configuration of the document type.
  Ensure that the document type is correctly assigned to the appropriate number range.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to post documents. This can be checked in transaction code SU53 after the error occurs, or by reviewing the user's role assignments.
  
  
  
  Consult with SAP Basis or Configuration Team:
