• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSOD140 - Document "&1" has been deleted ?

  The SAP error message RSOD140, which states "Document '&1' has been deleted," typically occurs in the context of SAP's Document Management System (DMS) or when dealing with document-related transactions. This message indicates that the document you are trying to access or process has been deleted from the system.
  Cause:
  
  Document Deletion: The most straightforward cause is that the document identified by the ID (represented by '&1') has been deleted from the database.
  Data Consistency Issues: There may be inconsistencies in the database, possibly due to incomplete transactions or issues during data migration.
  User Permissions: The user may not have the necessary permissions to view or access the document, leading to the perception that it has been deleted.
  Archiving: The document may have been archived as part of a data management strategy, making it unavailable for regular access.

  Verify Document Status: Check if the document is indeed deleted. You can do this by searching for the document in the DMS or relevant transaction codes (like CV03N for viewing documents).
  Check User Permissions: Ensure that the user has the appropriate permissions to access the document. This may involve checking roles and authorizations in the SAP system.
  Restore Document: If the document was deleted accidentally, you may need to restore it from a backup or retrieve it from an archive if applicable.

  Review Archiving Policies: If the document was archived, review the archiving policies and procedures to understand how to access archived documents.
