  Cause:
  The error usually arises due to the following reasons:
  
  User Locking: The document is currently checked out by another user, and only that user has the permission to check it back in.
  Authorization Issues: The user attempting to check in the document does not have the necessary authorizations or roles assigned to perform this action.
  Document Status: The document may be in a status that does not allow it to be checked in by users other than the one who checked it out.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Document Status:
  
  Verify the status of the document in the SAP system. If it is checked out, you may need to wait until the user who has it checked out returns it or check with that user.
