  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the sales order. This may involve checking roles and permissions in the user profile.
  Data Consistency Check: If you suspect data synchronization issues, work with your IT team to perform a consistency check between systems to ensure that all data is correctly synchronized.
