  The SAP error message B1264 ("Error when reading IDoc: no data") typically indicates that the system attempted to read an IDoc (Intermediate Document) but found no data associated with it. This can occur in various scenarios, such as during the processing of inbound or outbound IDocs.
  Causes:
  
  IDoc Not Generated: The IDoc may not have been generated correctly or at all. This can happen due to issues in the application that is supposed to create the IDoc.
