Function documentation Processing Logical IDoc Errors in EWM Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Use

If you receive an IDoc from the non-SAP system in the SAP system, the following errors can occur in Extended Warehouse Management (EWM):

     Missing or incorrect Customizing settings in EWM

     Missing or incorrect data in the IDoc

     Error Due to Blocked Objects

Note

Logical IDoc errors do not occur in IDoc outbound from the SAP system, because EWM responds to missing or incorrect Customizing settings beforehand.

The system flags the incorrect IDocs with status 51.

Missing or Incorrect Customizing Settings

Cause

The SAP system cannot further process the received IDoc in the following circumstances:

     You have not defined certain data for the IDoc in the SAP system.

Example

Along with the IDoc, you transmit a stock movement with a warehouse process type from the non-SAP system, which is unknown in the SAP system.

     The received IDoc data does not match the Customizing settings in the SAP system.

Example

The stock movement reported by the external system is defined for immediate confirmation. However, the warehouse process type in EWM does not permit immediate confirmation for this stock movement.

Procedure

...

       1.      You correct the relevant Customizing settings.

       2.      You subsequently post the incorrect IDoc

Either from the inbox of the assigned user

Or via report RBDMANIN, which you schedule periodically in background processing.

Missing or Incorrect IDoc Data

If the data in the received IDoc is not complete, you decide whether the system should resend the incorrect IDoc, or whether a correction in the SAP system is useful and possible.

     You make the corrections to the IDoc using the IDoc editor.

Caution

Only correct the IDoc using the IDoc editor in exceptional cases.

     You can subsequently post IDocs of the type WMIVID01 on reporting physical inventory data and correct the data in the relevant transaction.

Procedure

You subsequently post the incorrect IDoc

     Either from the inbox of the assigned user

     Or via report RBDMANIN, which you schedule periodically in background processing.

Error Due to Blocked Objects

If blocking problems occur in the SAP system, IDoc processing leads to an error.

Example

If there are concurrent attempts (by different users) to access the same SAP object, the system terminates processing, with an error note for the blocked object.

Procedure

You do not need to intervene manually. Schedule report RBDMANIN for periodical background processing.

You can use the Error Status parameter in the report to specify that the system automatically reposts IDocs with the error message describing a lock error.

Important Error Notes in Inbox

For the errors listed above, the system creates a workflow work item in the inbox of the person responsible. For more information, see Structure linkRule Resolution in Exception Handling.

Workflow work items are also suitable for important notes

     Which the external system sends to the SAP system

     Which occur during IDoc processing in EWM.

These workflow work items

     Inform the user about a problem or a conflict situation

     Send on important messages from the external system to the SAP system.

The external system transmits the messages via message type WMINFO.

Example

If the system can no longer confirm a warehouse task or handling unit because the confirmation has already been made, the non-SAP system triggers an internal message. Ensure that the system stores this information, since the confirmation can only be made by the non-SAP system.

You do not process workflow work items for notes from the inbox as you do for errors, but rather complete the workflow work item.
