  The SAP error message TN302 indicates that there is an issue with the status of a document or transaction in the system. Specifically, it means that you are trying to set a certain type (denoted as &3) for a document or transaction, but the system is preventing this action because the original type (denoted as &1) has been canceled.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises in scenarios where:
  
  You are attempting to change the type of a document (like a purchase order, sales order, etc.) that has already been canceled.

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Document Status: Verify the status of the document you are trying to modify. If it has been canceled, you will need to determine if you can reactivate it or if you need to create a new document.
  
  
  Recreate Document: If the document is indeed canceled and cannot be reactivated, you may need to create a new document of the desired type instead of trying to change the type of the canceled document.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review the relevant SAP documentation or configuration settings related to document types and statuses to understand the rules governing the changes you are trying to make.
  
  
  Contact Support: If you believe that the document should not be in a canceled state or if you need further assistance, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Depending on the type of document you are dealing with, you may need to use specific transaction codes to check the status or details of the document (e.g., ME23N for purchase orders, VA03 for sales orders).
