This error is often encountered when trying to print or generate documents that rely on SAPscript forms, such as invoices, purchase orders, or other output documents.
  Cause:
  The error usually arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Missing Configuration: The document class you are trying to use does not have an associated SAPscript form defined in the system.
  Incorrect Document Class: The document class specified in the output determination procedure may not be correctly set up or may not correspond to an existing SAPscript form.

  Solution:
  To resolve the RLB033 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Document Class Configuration:
