  VHUAP030: Purchasing document &1 not found
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when the system tries to access or reference a purchasing document (such as a Purchase Order, Request for Quotation, or Contract) that does not exist or cannot be found in the database. The placeholder &1 is replaced by the actual purchasing document number that the system attempted to find.
  Common reasons include:
  
  The purchasing document number entered is incorrect or mistyped.
  The purchasing document has been deleted or archived.
  The document number belongs to a different client or company code.
  The document number is not yet created or saved.
  There is a mismatch in document type or document number range.
  The user does not have authorization to view the document, causing it to appear as "not found."

  Verify Document Number:
  
  Double-check the purchasing document number entered.
  Ensure there are no typos or extra spaces.
  
  
  
  Check Document Existence:
