How to fix this error?

Please check that the process code in the <DS:TRAN.WE20>inbound
partner profile</> is correct.
If this is the case, you should check the ALE inbound methods
<DS:TRAN.BD67>ALE inbound methods for the process code</> and see
whether the specified function module and application object type are
correct.
If this is also the case, then the function module and the application
object type are not permitted for the logical message type, message
variant, message function and basis type that are contained in the IDoc
control record. You should check whether the correct values have been
assigned to these fields in the control record. If they do have the
correct values, then the <DS:TRAN.WE57>assignment</> to the function
module and the application object type needs to be maintained.
