  The SAP error message B1311 indicates that an IDoc (Intermediate Document) was passed to the application but was not processed successfully. This error can occur for various reasons, and understanding the cause is essential for troubleshooting and resolving the issue.
  Causes of B1311 Error
  
  
  Data Issues: The IDoc may contain invalid or incomplete data that the application cannot process. This could include missing mandatory fields, incorrect data formats, or values that do not meet the application's validation rules.
  
  
  Mapping Issues: If the IDoc is not correctly mapped to the target application or system, it may lead to processing errors. This can happen if the IDoc structure does not match the expected structure in the receiving system.
  
  
  Application Errors: The application that is supposed to process the IDoc may have its own issues, such as bugs, configuration problems, or resource limitations.

  Check IDoc Data: Review the data in the IDoc for any inconsistencies or missing information. Use transaction WE02 or WE05 to analyze the IDoc and identify any errors in the data.
