• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message B1893 - No IDocs could be selected ?

  The SAP error message B1893 ("No IDocs could be selected") typically occurs when you are trying to process IDocs (Intermediate Documents) but the system cannot find any IDocs that meet the selection criteria specified in your request. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when you are trying to process inbound or outbound IDocs.
  Causes:
  
  No IDocs Available: There are simply no IDocs in the system that match the selection criteria (e.g., status, message type, etc.).
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The selection criteria you have specified (like date range, status, or message type) may be too restrictive or incorrect.
  IDoc Status: The IDocs may be in a status that does not allow them to be processed (e.g., status 30 - "Error").
  IDoc Processing Issues: There may be issues with the IDoc processing logic or configuration that prevent IDocs from being selected.

  Solutions:
  
  Check IDoc Status: Use transaction code WE02 or WE05 to check the status of IDocs. Ensure that there are IDocs available and that they are in a processable status (e.g., status 03 - "Data passed to port" or status 12 - "Sent").
  Review Selection Criteria: Revisit the selection criteria you are using to ensure they are correct and not overly restrictive. Adjust the criteria if necessary.
  Check for Errors: If IDocs are in error status, investigate the error messages associated with them. You can use transaction WE02 or WE05 to view the details and take corrective actions.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access and process IDocs. Check the user roles and authorizations in the system.
