This error typically occurs in the context of logistics and transportation management, particularly when using the SAP Oil and Gas (OIJ) module.

  Review Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access and use the outbound delivery document.
  Consult with IT/Support: If the document is valid and the user has the correct permissions, consult with your SAP support team to check for any configuration issues or system errors.
