  The error message VR026 typically occurs in SAP when you try to display a document (such as a financial document, invoice, or accounting document) that either:
  
  Does not exist in the system.
  Has been deleted or archived.
  Is not accessible due to authorization restrictions.
  The document number or document type entered is incorrect.
  The document is not yet posted or is in an incomplete status.
  The document is stored in a different company code or client than the one you are currently logged into.
  
  
  Common Scenarios:
  
  Trying to display a document that was archived and no longer available in the online database.
  Entering an incorrect document number or fiscal year.
  Attempting to display a document from a different company code or client.
  Authorization issues preventing display of the document.
  Document is blocked or reversed and thus not displayable in the usual manner.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Verify Document Number and Fiscal Year:
  
  Double-check the document number, fiscal year, and company code entered. Make sure they are correct.
  
  
  Check Document Existence:
  
  Use transaction codes like FB03 (Display Document) or FBL1N/FBL3N/FBL5N (line item display) to verify if the document exists.

  Ensure you have the necessary authorizations to display the document. Check your user roles and authorizations related to FI documents.
  
  
  Check Document Status:
