  Review Change Documents:
  
  Use transaction codes like SCDO (Change Document Objects) or SCU3 (Display Change Documents) to check if change documents exist for the vendor or invoice.
  
  
  Check Authorization:
  
  Ensure you have the necessary authorizations to view logs or change documents.
  
  
  Recreate or Reprocess the Transaction:
  
  If the log is missing due to an incomplete or failed process, try reprocessing the transaction or posting again.
