  SAP Error Message: VR132 - Original document cannot be displayed
  Cause:
  The error message VR132 occurs when a user tries to display or access the original document related to a transaction (usually in the context of Vendor Invoice Verification or Logistics Invoice Verification), but the system cannot find or access the original document. This can happen due to several reasons:
  
  The original document has been deleted or archived and is no longer available in the system.
  The document number or reference is incorrect or does not exist.
  The user does not have the necessary authorization to display the original document.
  The document is stored in a different client or system and is not accessible from the current session.
  The document is blocked or in a status that prevents display.
  There is a mismatch or inconsistency in the document linkage (e.g., invoice to purchase order or goods receipt).
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Document Existence:
  
  Verify that the original document number exists in the system.
  Use transaction codes like MB03 (Display Material Document), FB03 (Display Financial Document), or ME23N (Display Purchase Order) depending on the document type.
  
  
  
  Verify Document Status:
  
  Ensure the document is not deleted, blocked, or archived.
  Check if the document is still valid and active.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Confirm that the user has the required authorizations to display the document.
  Use transaction SU53 after the error occurs to check missing authorizations.
  
  
  
  Correct Document Reference:
  
  Make sure the document number entered is correct.
  If the document is referenced via a link, ensure the link is valid.
  
  
  
  Check System and Client:
  
  Confirm that the document belongs to the current client and system.
  If the document is in a different system, it will not be accessible.
  
  
  
  Review Document Linkages:
  
  Check the linkage between related documents (e.g., invoice to purchase order).
