• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 5B037 - IDOC3 is filled but IDOC2 is not ?

  The SAP error message 5B037 indicates that there is an issue with the IDoc (Intermediate Document) processing, specifically that IDOC3 is filled while IDOC2 is not. This typically occurs in the context of IDoc processing where the segments of the IDoc are not properly populated or are missing.
  Cause:
  
  Incomplete Data: The IDoc segments are not filled correctly, which can happen due to missing data in the source system or during the data transfer process.
  Mapping Issues: There may be issues with the mapping of fields between the source and target systems, leading to incomplete IDoc segments.
  Configuration Errors: Incorrect configuration in the IDoc processing settings or partner profiles can lead to this error.
  Program Logic: If a custom program or function module is used to generate or process IDocs, there may be logic errors that prevent IDOC2 from being populated.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check IDoc Segments: Review the IDoc structure and ensure that all required segments are filled. You can use transaction WE02 or WE05 to analyze the IDoc.
  Review Mapping: If you are using a middleware (like SAP PI/PO), check the mapping configuration to ensure that all necessary fields are being populated correctly.
  Partner Profile Configuration: Verify the partner profile settings in transaction WE20 to ensure that they are correctly configured for the IDoc type being processed.
  Debugging: If a custom program is involved, debug the program to identify where the IDOC2 segment is not being populated. Look for any conditional logic that might be preventing data from being written to IDOC2.
  Reprocess IDoc: If the issue is resolved, you may need to reprocess the IDoc. You can do this using transaction BD87.
