  Error Message
  WSPT032: Possible Document Category is only 'SD'
  
  Cause
  This error occurs in SAP when you are trying to create or process a document in the Sales and Distribution (SD) module, but the system detects that the document category you are trying to use is not valid or allowed for the current transaction or context. Specifically, the system expects the document category to be 'SD' (Sales Document), but a different or incorrect category has been specified.
  Common scenarios include:
  
  Attempting to create or process a document with a document category other than 'SD' in a transaction or program that only supports 'SD' category documents.
  Incorrect or inconsistent configuration in the document type or document category settings.
  Custom developments or user exits where the document category is set incorrectly.
  
  
  Explanation
  
  Document Category in SAP SD defines the type of document, such as sales order, delivery, billing document, etc.
  The system restricts certain transactions to only allow documents of category 'SD'.
  If a different category is passed or set, the system throws this error to prevent inconsistent document processing.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Document Category:
  
  Verify the document category being used in the transaction or program.
  Ensure it is set to 'SD' where required.
  
  
  
  Review Document Type Configuration:
  
  Go to SPRO ? Sales and Distribution ? Sales ? Sales Documents ? Sales Document Header ? Define Sales Document Types.
  Check the document type and its assigned document category.
  Make sure the document type you are using is assigned to the document category 'SD'.
  
  
  
  Check Custom Code/User Exits:
  
  If there are any user exits, BADIs, or custom programs involved, check if the document category is being set or overridden incorrectly.
  Correct the code to set the document category to 'SD' where necessary.
  
  
  
  Transaction Context:
  
  Ensure you are using the correct transaction for the document category.
  For example, sales orders should be created in transactions that support 'SD' document category.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  If unsure, debug the program or transaction to see where the document category is set and why it is not 'SD'.
