This error typically occurs when you are trying to create a document (like a sales order, quotation, etc.) based on another document, but the system does not allow this due to configuration settings.
  Cause:
  
  
  Document Type Configuration: The document type you are trying to use does not have the necessary settings to allow copying from the specified sales document type. This could be due to:
  
  The document type being set up incorrectly in the configuration.

  Sales Document Type Relationships: There may not be a defined relationship between the source document type and the target document type in the system.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Document Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the configuration settings for sales document types in SAP (Transaction code: VOTXN or SPRO -> Sales and Distribution -> Sales -> Sales Document -> Define Sales Document Types).
  Verify that the document type you are trying to copy from is allowed to copy to the document type you are trying to create.
  
  
  
  Review Copy Control Settings:
