  The SAP error message SD087 typically indicates that there is an issue with documentation authorization for a user in the Sales and Distribution (SD) module. This error occurs when a user attempts to save a document (such as a sales order, delivery, or invoice) but does not have the necessary authorizations to do so.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization to create or modify the document type in question.
  Role Assignment: The user’s role may not include the necessary permissions for the specific transaction or document type.
  Authorization Object: The relevant authorization object (e.g., V_VBAK_VKO, V_VBAK_AAT, etc.) may not be properly configured or assigned to the user.
  Document Type Restrictions: Certain document types may have restrictions based on user roles or organizational units.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization is missing.

  Ensure that the relevant authorization objects are included in the user’s roles.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
