  The SAP error message E0069, which states "EDI: IDoc ID is blank," typically occurs in the context of Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) when an IDoc (Intermediate Document) is expected but is not properly generated or populated. This can happen for various reasons, and understanding the cause is crucial for resolving the issue.
  Causes:
  
  IDoc Generation Issues: The IDoc may not have been generated correctly due to missing or incorrect data in the source document.
  Configuration Errors: There may be issues with the configuration of the EDI settings, such as partner profiles or message types.
  Data Mapping Problems: If the data mapping between the source system and the IDoc structure is incorrect, it can lead to a blank IDoc ID.
  System Errors: Temporary system errors or inconsistencies in the SAP system can also lead to this issue.

  Solutions:
