  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message B1351 - Errors when compiling version: Target structure & & does not match IDoc ?

    The SAP error message B1351 indicates that there is a mismatch between the target structure of an IDoc and the expected structure defined in the system. This error typically occurs during the compilation of an IDoc type or when trying to process an IDoc that does not conform to the expected structure.

    Cause:

    1. IDoc Structure Mismatch: The structure of the IDoc being processed does not match the structure defined in the SAP system. This can happen if:

      • The IDoc type has been changed or modified in the SAP system.
      • The data being sent does not conform to the expected format or structure.
      • There are missing segments or fields in the IDoc.
    2. Versioning Issues: If there are multiple versions of the IDoc type, the system might be trying to use an outdated version that does not match the current structure.

    3. Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration in the IDoc processing settings or partner profiles can lead to this error.

    Solution:

    1. Check IDoc Definition: Verify the IDoc type definition in transaction WE30. Ensure that the structure of the IDoc matches the data being sent.

    2. Update IDoc Structure: If the IDoc structure has changed, you may need to regenerate the IDoc type or update the relevant segments. Use transaction WE31 to check and modify the segments if necessary.

    3. Validate Data: Ensure that the data being sent in the IDoc conforms to the expected structure. Check for missing fields or segments.

    4. Check Versioning: If there are multiple versions of the IDoc, ensure that the correct version is being used. You can check the version in transaction WE82.

    5. Review Partner Profiles: Check the partner profiles in transaction WE20 to ensure that the settings for the IDoc processing are correct.

    6. Recompile IDoc Type: If necessary, recompile the IDoc type using transaction WE30 or WE31 to ensure that the latest structure is being used.

    7. Debugging: If the issue persists, consider using transaction WE19 to simulate the IDoc processing and identify where the mismatch occurs.
