• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message B1304 - IDoc & flagged for deletion ?

  The SAP error message B1304 indicates that an IDoc (Intermediate Document) has been flagged for deletion. This typically means that the IDoc is no longer valid for processing and has been marked to be removed from the system. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Manual Deletion: The IDoc may have been manually flagged for deletion by a user or through a process in the system.
  Error in Processing: If an IDoc encounters errors during processing, it may be flagged for deletion as part of error handling.
  Configuration Settings: Certain configurations in the IDoc processing settings may lead to IDocs being flagged for deletion automatically under specific conditions.
  Status Changes: The IDoc may have gone through various status changes that led to it being marked for deletion.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check IDoc Status: Use transaction code WE02 or WE05 to check the status of the IDoc. Look for any error messages or statuses that indicate why it was flagged for deletion.
  Review Error Logs: If the IDoc was flagged due to processing errors, review the error logs to identify the root cause and resolve any underlying issues.
  Reprocess IDoc: If the IDoc is still relevant and needs to be processed, you may need to correct the errors and reprocess it. This can be done using transaction code BD87.
  Consult Configuration: Review the IDoc processing configuration settings to ensure that they are set up correctly and not causing IDocs to be flagged for deletion unnecessarily.
  Delete IDoc: If the IDoc is indeed no longer needed, you can delete it using transaction code WE19 or through the appropriate IDoc deletion process.
