  SAP Error Message:
  VR152 - Document type & is invalid for this evaluation
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when the system encounters a document type that is not allowed or not defined for a particular evaluation or process in the SAP system. Specifically, in the context of Vendor Evaluation (Purchasing), the system checks the document type of purchasing documents (like Purchase Orders, Invoices, etc.) against the allowed document types configured for evaluation.
  If the document type of the transaction being evaluated is not included in the allowed list, the system throws the VR152 error.
  
  Where it typically occurs:
  
  Vendor Evaluation (Purchasing) process.
  When running evaluations or reports that analyze purchasing documents.
  During the update or processing of purchasing documents in the evaluation.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Document Type Configuration:
  
  Go to the customizing path for Vendor Evaluation:
  SPRO -> Materials Management -> Purchasing -> Vendor Evaluation -> Define Document Types for Vendor Evaluation
  
  Verify which document types are allowed for evaluation.
  Ensure that the document type of the transaction causing the error is included in this list.
  
  
  
  Add the Missing Document Type:
  
  If the document type is missing, add it to the allowed document types for vendor evaluation.
  Save and transport the changes if necessary.
  
  
  
  Verify Document Type in the Transaction:
  
  Check the document type of the transaction that triggered the error.
  Confirm that it is a valid and intended document type for vendor evaluation.
  
  
  
  Check Vendor Evaluation Settings:
  
  Sometimes, the evaluation variant or criteria might restrict certain document types.
  Review the evaluation variant settings to ensure compatibility.
