  The SAP error message SKWG_ERRS033: Document mime format is not available typically occurs when there is an issue with the MIME type of a document that you are trying to upload or process in the SAP system. This error indicates that the system does not recognize the format of the document you are working with, which can prevent the document from being processed correctly.
  Causes:
  
  Unsupported File Format: The document you are trying to upload may be in a format that is not supported by the SAP system.
  MIME Type Configuration: The MIME type for the document format may not be configured correctly in the SAP system.

  Check File Format: Ensure that the document you are trying to upload is in a supported format (e.g., PDF, DOCX, JPEG, etc.). Refer to SAP documentation for a list of supported MIME types.
  Configure MIME Types:

  Update SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this issue. Sometimes, there are patches or updates that resolve MIME type issues.
  Test with Different Document: Try uploading a different document that is known to work to see if the issue is specific to the original document.
