  The SAP error message SD084 indicates that there is an issue with documentation authorization for a specific user. This error typically arises in the Sales and Distribution (SD) module when a user attempts to access or modify certain documents but lacks the necessary authorizations.
  Cause:
  The error occurs due to one or more of the following reasons:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorization to access or modify the documentation related to sales orders, deliveries, or billing documents.
  Authorization Object: The relevant authorization object (e.g., V_VBAK_VKO, V_VBAK_AAT, etc.) is not properly assigned to the user’s role.
  Role Assignment: The user’s role may not include the necessary permissions for the specific transaction or document type they are trying to access.
  Document Status: The document may be in a status that restricts access based on user roles.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the SD084 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:

  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 or PFCG.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:

  Ensure that the roles assigned to the user cover the necessary transactions and document types.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the required access.
