  The SAP error message B1037 "No IDocs in the packet" typically occurs when an attempt is made to process an IDoc (Intermediate Document) that is expected to contain data, but the IDoc packet is empty. This can happen in various scenarios, such as during the transmission of IDocs or when processing them in the system.
  Causes:

  Incorrect Configuration: There may be issues with the configuration of the IDoc processing, such as incorrect settings in the partner profile or message type.
  Transmission Issues: Problems during the transmission of IDocs, such as network issues or incorrect routing, can lead to empty packets.
  Application Logic: The application that generates the IDoc may not be populating the IDoc correctly due to logic errors or missing data.
  IDoc Status: The IDoc may have been generated but not filled with the necessary data before being sent.

  Debugging: If you have access to the development environment, consider debugging the IDoc generation process to identify where the data might be missing.
  Check for Errors in Application Logic: Review the application logic that triggers the IDoc creation to ensure that it is functioning as expected and that all necessary data is being passed.
