  The SAP error message RE239 indicates that there is a mismatch between the document type of a document and the expected document type for a specific operation or transaction. This error typically occurs in the context of Real Estate Management (RE) or other modules where document types are strictly enforced.

  Solution:
  To resolve the RE239 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Document Type Configuration:
  
  Verify the configuration settings for document types in the relevant module (e.g., Real Estate Management).
