  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/AC104 indicates that a user is not authorized to edit a specific business document in the SAP Transportation Management System (TMS). This error typically arises due to authorization issues related to user roles and permissions.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Roles: The user does not have the necessary authorization roles assigned to edit the specific business document.
  Document Status: The document may be in a status that does not allow editing (e.g., completed or locked).
  User Profile: The user profile may not include the necessary permissions for the specific transaction or document type.
  Custom Authorization Objects: There may be custom authorization objects in place that restrict access to certain documents based on specific criteria.
  
  Solution:

  Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles that include permissions for editing the specific business document.

  Check Document Status:
  
  Verify the status of the business document. If it is in a status that does not allow editing, you may need to change the status or consult with the relevant team to unlock or modify the document.
