  The SAP error message SRF_RUNTIME004 indicates that a user is attempting to submit a document but does not have the necessary authorization to do so. This error typically arises in the context of SAP's workflow or document management systems, where specific permissions are required to perform certain actions.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user does not have the required roles or authorizations assigned to their user profile to submit the specified document.
  Document Status: The document may be in a status that does not allow submission (e.g., it may be locked or already submitted).
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the SAP system that restrict access to certain documents or workflows based on user roles.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in the SAP system. Ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to submit documents.
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed. This can provide insight into what specific permission is lacking.
  
  
  
  Role Assignment:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary roles, work with your SAP security team to assign the appropriate roles that include the required authorizations for document submission.
  
  
  
  Document Status:
  
  Verify the status of the document being submitted. If it is locked or in a state that does not allow submission, you may need to change its status or unlock it.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources related to the specific module or functionality you are working with to understand the authorization requirements better.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or document statuses, have the user attempt to submit the document again to see if the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
