  Configuration Check: Review the configuration settings in the SAP system related to document management. Ensure that the settings for document blocking and saving are logically consistent.
  User Permissions: Verify the user permissions and roles assigned to the user encountering the error. Ensure that the user has the appropriate permissions to perform the actions they are attempting.
