  The SAP error message V/108 indicates that there is a discrepancy between the total authorization amount and the sales order value. This typically occurs in the context of sales and distribution (SD) when there are restrictions or controls in place regarding the amount that can be authorized for a sales order.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Limits: The user or role may have a defined authorization limit that is lower than the total value of the sales order.
  Sales Order Value Changes: The sales order value may have been changed after the authorization was granted, leading to a mismatch.
  Currency Differences: If the sales order and the authorization are in different currencies, conversion issues may lead to discrepancies.

  Solution:
  
  Review Authorization Limits: Check the authorization limits assigned to the user or role. If necessary, adjust the limits to match the sales order value.
  Reauthorize the Sales Order: If the sales order value has changed, reauthorize the order to ensure that the authorization amount matches the current sales order value.
  Check Currency Settings: Ensure that the currency settings for both the sales order and the authorization are consistent. If they differ, convert the amounts to a common currency for comparison.
  Update Pricing Conditions: Review and update any pricing conditions or discounts that may have changed since the initial authorization.
  Consult with Security Team: If the issue persists, consult with your SAP security team to ensure that the user roles and authorizations are set up correctly.
