• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DU212 - No function module exists for sender structure & ?

  The SAP error message DU212 ("No function module exists for sender structure &") typically occurs when there is an issue with the data transfer between different systems or components in SAP, particularly when using IDocs or other data transfer methods. This error indicates that the system is unable to find a corresponding function module that is supposed to handle the data structure being sent.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Function Module: The function module that is supposed to process the incoming data structure does not exist in the system.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration for the IDoc or data transfer might be incorrect, leading to the system looking for a non-existent function module.
  Custom Development: If there is custom development involved, the function module may not have been created or activated.
  Transport Issues: If the function module was recently transported from another system, it may not have been transported correctly or may be missing.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Function Module: Verify if the function module that is supposed to handle the sender structure exists. You can do this by using transaction SE37 to search for the function module.
  Create/Activate Function Module: If the function module does not exist, you may need to create it or activate it if it is in a non-active state.
  Review IDoc Configuration: Check the IDoc configuration in transaction WE20 (Partner Profiles) and WE21 (Port Definition) to ensure that the correct function module is assigned to the IDoc type.
  Check for Custom Development: If there is custom development, ensure that the function module is properly defined and activated in the system.
  Transport Requests: If the function module was supposed to be transported, check the transport requests to ensure that they were imported correctly.
  Consult Documentation: Review any relevant documentation or notes related to the specific IDoc type or data structure you are working with.
