• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message B1301 - IDoc & does not exist, processing not possible ?

  The SAP error message B1301 indicates that an IDoc (Intermediate Document) is not found in the system, which prevents further processing. This error typically occurs when you are trying to process an IDoc that either does not exist in the database or has been deleted.
  Causes of B1301 Error
  
  IDoc Not Created: The IDoc may not have been created successfully due to issues in the sending system or during the IDoc generation process.

  Recreate IDoc: If the IDoc does not exist, you may need to recreate it in the sending system and ensure it is sent again.
  Check for Deletion Jobs: Review any scheduled jobs that may be deleting IDocs and adjust their parameters if necessary.
  Review Application Logs: Check the application logs for any errors or warnings that may provide additional context on why the IDoc is not found.
