This error is commonly encountered in the context of sales and distribution (SD) or financial transactions where manual adjustments or authorizations are required.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the user does not have the required authorization to perform manual authorizations for the specified document type. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user’s role does not include the necessary authorization object for manual authorizations.
  Document Type Restrictions: The document type specified in the error message may have specific restrictions that require additional authorizations.

  Solution:
  To resolve the V/036 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 or PFCG.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:

  Common authorization objects that may be relevant include V_VBAK_VKO (Sales Document: Authorization for Sales Area) and V_VBAK_AAT (Sales Document: Authorization for Manual Changes).
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles, contact your SAP security or basis team. Provide them with the details of the error and the document type in question so they can assist in updating the roles accordingly.
  
  
  
  Testing:
